This one might confuse the living day lights out of 't blame me if you can't sleep again ever and are plagued for the rest of your life by this simple philosiphial question.
I MAY LOVE POKEMANZ, BUT I DON'T OWN THEM.
9. Why are Mew and Ditto so similar?
Mew and Ditto may not seem connected in any way, shape or form. Let me rephrase that. Mew and Ditto may not seem connected in any way. Quick - tell me the only two Pokemon out of over 700 that can use Transform!
You got it - only Mew and Ditto. Which leads to a plethora of questions that can be asked. They can be related. They are very similar in weight, with Mew only barely heavier then it's blobbish counterpart.
Both are about the same size, with Mew again being only a little bit bigger then Ditto.
Both Mew and Ditto's shiny variants are about the same color.
I can see the gears spinning in your head. They are much more alike then you realize. I have 2 theories about this.
1. Ditto was the first failed attempt at cloning Mew
This is possible. Team Rockets might have failed miserably with their first attempt to clone Mew. They did, however, give us another Pokemon that can use the move Transform. It might seem unlikely, but it is altogether possible. Team Rocket also gave the world a purplish blob thing that is the bane of Pokemon Daycare Breeding.
2. Ditto is Mew
Let me explain this a little bit. Mew uses transform a lot. And when I say a lot, I mean ALOT. If you weren't a fan, then you might think that was the only move the pink puffball could use.
It is altogether possible that some Mew transofmed so many times that they forgot their original shape and just decided to become a purple blob with a face. Given the fact that Mew has so many moves but tends to use on,y Transform, then this is a very valid reason.
This would be like having Smeargle use sketch on the same move so many times that it completely forget sketch and is bred with Sade move that was copied. A genetic mutation, if you will. Even when Team Rocket tried to clone Mew, they couldn't get transform down. This is a stretch, but the pieces do fit together nicely.
Dont agree with me? Have other ideas? Just think that I am stupid for even thinking about this stuff? Then shoot me a comment or review anpiece me a piece of your mind!
