>>50875220>We have DEFININITVE confirmation that Mewtwo was raised from a fetus inside a tubeThis is not definitive confirmation, this is fan based conjecture based on secondary and tertiary sources.
>it's shown in every single piece of media pertaining to the subject.We do not. The games never show Mewtwo's previous form inside of a tube. Any artwork is a fully grown Mewtwo, and the context is dubious.
>>50875449Yeah, it's pretty unambiguous that Mew gave birth. The number of people online who think it is a metaphor or some sort of "in-character punchline" is a little concerning. Not sure if it's because the idea of Mew giving birth makes them uncomfortable, because it contradicts what the movie showed them, or because they want to think Pokemon is something that it isn't. I could sort of sympathizing with the idea that a baby being genetically modified is what triggers the denial, but Mewtwo will have unfortunate implications no matter which canon you prefer.
