>>52074970>>52098047If the Pokemon anime staff want to maintain continuity with Takeshi Shudo's lore that he came up with for the Pokemon anime, he should have Jessie be the one to catch Mew and not Gary Oak and Goh, because it was Jessie's mother, the former number one member of Team Rocket, that was responsible for discovering Mew's existence and bringing that valuable information to Giovanni's mother, the former leader of Team Rocket.
The reason why Jessie grew up all alone was because her mother's final mission was to catch Mew and bring it back to her best friend, Giovanni's mother, yet not only did she lost all contact with Team Rocket HQ but also never manged to reunite with her daughter.
This is why I feel it would be wrong to let Goh be the first person to successfully catch Mew instead of Jessie because letting Jessie catch Mew would bring closure to her family's and Team Rocket's relationship with Mew. Let Jessie have a happy ending for once!
By the way, all this lore about Jessie's mother, Miyamoto, Giovanni's mother, Madame Boss, and Mew can be found in The Birth of Mewtwo, a radio drama written by Takeshi Shudo.
