A Pokemon fan artist created a realistic version of the Legendary Pokemon called Mewtwo and compared their new design to how Mewtwo was originally depicted in its movie debut. For their effort, the Pokemon fan artist received feedback from their peers, with some remaining divided on the creative liberties taken in the realistic Mewtwo depiction.
Known as the Genetic Pokemon, Mewtwo debuted in Pokemon Red and Blue as a post-game challenge that trainers faced after claiming the Pokemon League championship. Trainers could find Mewtwo in the Cerulean Cave, and discover hints of its origin scattered about the abandoned Pokemon Mansion on Cinnabar Island. As the most powerful Pokemon in the first generation, Mewtwo is a Psychic-type Legendary Pokemon with high special attack and speed stats, making it a dangerous threat in any Pokemon battle. In later Pokemon generations, Mewtwo gained access to moves such as Shadow Ball, Aura Sphere, and Psystrike to use in battle. In Pokemon X and Y, Mewtwo was given two version-exclusive Mega Evolution forms, each form granting Mewtwo new ways to take down foes. Though Dark-type Pokemon can counter Mewtwo, its versatility and power make Mewtwo one of the most notorious Legendary Pokemon to date.
With the knowledge that Mewtwo was created by Pokemon scientists, one Pokemon artist showed how terrifying the Genetic Pokemon can be. A Reddit user named Jord-UK crafted a realistic version of Mewtwo and shared the final result on the r/Pokemon subreddit. The OP kept Mewtwo's body purple but added some details. These included a visible ribcage on its torso and a smaller head shape. Jord-UK leaned into Mewtwo's feline appearance by adding a cat-like nose and eyes to the Genetic Pokemon's face. Mewtwo's fingers and toes were given sharp claws on the ends, which the OP stated was part of treating Mewtwo like a «creepy lab-created cave dweller» in their depiction.
Mewtwo's muscles were given further definition across its entire body, and its stare towards the viewer was a direct contrast to a similar pose from Pokemon: The First Movie. In the comments of the r/Pokemon post by Jork-UK, some users complimented them for depicting the Genetic Pokemon in a way that fits its battle-hungry demeanor. Some Pokemon fans further pointed out that the OP's Mewtwo looked similar to Beerus from the Dragon Ball franchise, noting the similarities in body color, feline features, and destructive tendencies.
Thanks to contributions from Pokemon fan artists such as Jord-UK, Mewtwo remains a popular subject even after two decades since its debut. Only time will tell if the Genetic Pokemon will return in Pokemon Legends: Z:A.
