>>35484299It's more of a lore thing. Mew is supposed to be the first pokemon, ancestor to all others, then Arceus, a creator pokemon, appears in the series and is apparently the actual first pokemon...despite Mew's lore never being retconned. It's one of those weird things in Pokemon lore that seems to contradict itself, like dex entries vs. what we actually see in the games for most pokemon.
