Biology

Mew is a small, pale pink feliform creature with somewhat large eyes and a long, thin tail that broadens at the end. This Mythical Pokémon is so rare that only a few experts worldwide have found it, though a growing number of people have reportedly seen it recently.

It is shy, and it is said that it appears only to those who have a true heart and a strong passion to see it. It is capable of turning invisible at will so that people are unaware of its presence. Its fine, small, and delicate hairs can be viewed with a microscope.

Its DNA is said to contain the genetic code of every Pokémon and every move; because of this, many scientists believe that it is the ancestor of all Pokémon. Journal entries in the Pokémon Mansion on Cinnabar Island state that Mew was discovered deep in the jungles of Guyana, South America, and that it "gave birth" to Mewtwo.

Design & origin

Mew was conceived as an elusive, phantom-like Pokémon, a "character that exists but doesn't appear" that would be the subject of rumors. Designed by programmer Shigeki Morimoto, it was made a simpler version of its in-universe clone, Mewtwo, primarily using one color due to a lack of storage space. The fetus-like aspects of its original sprite were later revised into its modern-day appearance. Its design has been considered similar to hairless cats, as well as embryos.
