Different continuity? That removes all plotholes. But if the guy behind it all said thats was a different one, then whatever. And how exactly can Ash remember first Mewtwo? Didn't he erased himself from his memory before leaving?
You haven't seen
Mewtwo Returns either, have you?
Long story short, Ash encountered Mewtwo again in Johto, helped him and his clone friends with Giovanni and with Mewtwo's internal struggle of whether or not he really belongs in the world, and Mewtwo
did not wipe his memory this time.
As for the idea of different continuity, that makes even
less sense than the two Mewtwo being the same individual.
This means that they were not able to use those two as sources anyhow. So, they had only 1st Mewtwo and Mewtwo from games, but those are very hard to use since they are RPGs and don't show pokemons moving outside of idle animations.
The only difference the Genesect movie would have done if it
somehow debuted before Melee would be Mewtwo having different characterization in Smash along with the female voice and using Aura Sphere instead of Shadow Ball.
The reason
why Mewtwo has his telekinetic hovering is because Sakurai liked the concept, not because it was the "only" route to take.
No, seriously. The idea of Mewtwo being an ESP-based fighter was part of why Sakurai wanted to have Mewtwo since the original Smash.

PushDustIn This was in one of the Melee questionnaires; I don't remember which page, but I do remember seeing that be brought up when I translated out of curiosity a year or two back.
(Back to Bagan)
Just like the idea of making Jigglypuff make Kirby-like jumps despite not doing so....
anywhere. Essentially just because she was the Balloon Pokémon.
Because he can and he doesn't seems to be kind of guy to limit himself?
He's more of the guy that
doesn't move if he doesn't have to if we're going by the 1st anime Mewtwo.
Think about it.
His style of fighting was staying in place, using psychic barriers to avoid getting hit, reflecting attacks back at the opponent, using telekinesis to immobilize opponents or send them flying, and firing Shadow Balls.
It wasn't until Mew showed up and kept dodging his Shadow Balls from a distance did he actually start flying around
to chase Mew down.
But he is not top-heavy unless just having long and kinda bulky arms already counts as this. Others are more top-heavy than him thanks to their weird hump part of torso (only Ridley-X seems to lack it, but he isn't Ridley and never should be counted as such). And i don't get where did that nickname came from. He just has bulky arms and legs, but everything else is thin (as in bones are visible and not as in not wide).
Having a hump doesn't translate to being top-heavy.
Here are some examples of being top-heavy:
Wind Waker Ganondorf (actually,
any older muscular male character in the "Toon" style falls under this)
Sonic Boom Knuckles
Mega Swampert
Donkey Kong
Ridley's older designs aren't top-heavy. Other M Ridley
is.
And he's nicknamed "Roidley" due to how
beefy he is compared to previous designs.
Yes. And in Other M, pretty much everything looks organic and realistic. Other M Ridley's design is realistic outside of his extendable tail. Limb-neck is weird, but it looks...er...wide...large...whatever enough for him to actually be able to eat anything. MP3 Ridleys also look realistic since they don't have that pecil-thin neck, but its hard to tell since they are cyborgs and we never see organic versions of them.
It's clear you and I have
very different definitions of the word "realistic".
This point is just going to be an endless circle, so I'm going to withdraw from it.
Mostly that. Just doesn't looks right when he was shown as normal kind of dragon (IMO, more like a mutated xenomorph with different neck, head and with wings, but whatever) before.
Basically he's better off as a wyrm than a wyvern.
(Ironically, wyverns are technically more "realistic" due to not having an abnormal amount of limbs for a vertebrate...
)
Not even with the pleading of fans for it.
