>>23441245>wouldn't a more natural evolution be one where it becomes more like the pokemon from which it was derived?That depends on what you define as natural.
Mew may have been what Mewtwo should have been prior to the genetic alteration however, it was written into it's DNA to be the strongest pokemon. It's the nature of Mewtwo so to speak.
If you ignore that it would make a bit more sense for Y to be a natural progression but the new details from out of nowhere don't really make much sense when thinking like that either. The only real resemblance to Mew is the size where it's still significantly taller than it.
>but there's no way that could naturally happen since Mewtwo would still be relatively young by the time Mega Evolution is brought about. Wouldn't it make more sense for Mewtwo X to be a product of science in order to make one of the strongest pokemon even stronger by eliminating its weakness?Not that we or anyone in the pokemon universe actually know much of mega evolution outside of they come from space, the only one I could see getting an artificial mega at the moment is Porygon because it doesn't exactly follow the same rules as the others. That being said it's still an evolution, it's meant to improve and reduce weaknesses instead of creating new ones unless of course there's some kind of catastrophic change where the strengths become weaknesses but that's a whole different story.
Anyway, there are quite a few Mega evolutions that alter types and "balance" pokemon in a similar way to Mega Mewtwo X. We might be looking at this in the completely wrong way though.
At first I thought Mega Evolution worked like Ultimates in Ben 10.
