Today, Pokémon fans are celebrating Mewtwo's birthday, which is recognized as February 6th. Mewtwo, introduced in 1996's Pokémon Red and Green, is a clone of the mythical Pokémon Mew, with a backstory revealed through in-game journals. Mewtwo's character has remained popular over the years, despite the introduction of over 1,000 new Pokémon. His tragic origin and memorable quotes have solidified his status as a fan favorite alongside iconic characters like Pikachu and Charizard. As the Pokémon franchise nears its 29th anniversary, Mewtwo's role may expand in upcoming releases, particularly in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, which will feature his Mega Evolutions.
