Ive been travelling Europe for the past month and have been pretty disconnected from things. From the looks of this thread though, Im assuming we have no news on Mewtwo?
Nope. Except for a post in the Mewtwo's Voice thread that was supposedly made by a Miriam Pultro. It stated that Mewtwo would have no English VA. But, the post contradicted itself, and the idea that they're not dubbing an extremely hyped character when they literally have as long as they want is very sketchy-sounding to me. I'm calling BS until proven real.

The most we got is that it just began development a couple weeks ago.

i dont really undestand the hate towards miriam.... i mean.... part of the reason why mewtwo is relevant now is because of the movie she starred in. plus i like this mewtwo for differing reasons as to why i like jays mewtwo.
jays mewtwo is commanding, godlike, and angry. tired of humans using its power.
miriams version is just the opposite: its much more mortal..... and more relatable. shes more like the quiet hero who only wishes to protect its friends. she was hurt by humans, but doesnt seak to destroy them like m1s mewtwo did. just wanted to be left alone.
honestly if miriam comes and voices mewtwo, i wont be all that bothered. she did quite a good job... heck.... maybe they could somehow work in miriams and jays voices for alt costumes. (one being jays powerful armored mewtwo, the other being miriams sleak-looking female mewtwo)

This is how I feel about the whole matter. First Movie Mewtwo will always be iconic and awesome in ways. But Femtwo in a way is a much better character to go along with in her movie, rather than just sitting back and enjoying first movie mewtwo.

Armored Mewtwo is not all that powerful considering that the armor is a power limiter. It was basically a Pokeball it can wear.

I hope that Sakurai recognizes the epic appeal of Mewtwo's original voice. Femtwo just wouldn't be the same... considering their personalities are completely different.

I don't know about Miriam's Mewtwo being more relatable. When someone wrongs me, all I want to do is wind up a knock a couple of their fillings loose. If someone were to abuse my abilities or skills, I don even want to think about what I'd try to do. Mewtwo, in many ways, I think, acts and and reacts much like a human would. We think we're the best and we all crave power. We all want to be God, and we all act like we are, and we're all arrogant. That's exactly how Mewtwo acted. He had the power of a God, and he acted as though he were better than everybody else. When someone hurts me, all I want to do is get revenge. Mewtwo was hurt by humanity, and he tried everything in his power to make them miserable. But, in the end, revenge never makes us happy. It just embitters us and makes us crave more. We, as humans, must realize that we can't get revenge and hurt those who wrong us, and that that won't make us happy. We have to forgive our enemies and try to make amends, even though that's not our instinct. All of this was part of Mewtwo's character development, and it was all very human. I found it extremely relatable. Now, I don't know if I'm an accurate depiction of the human race, but I found M01 Mewtwo much more relatable than Miriam's Mewtwo. Miriam's Mewtwo was more like the Stoic, like Captain America or Wonder-White. They're the ones who have completely transcended human instinct, and have essentially become what we should, but all too often don't, strive to become: Selfless and forgiving. Stoics would take a bullet for a friend, and they forgive those who wrong them. They don't seek revenge, and only resort to violence if absolutely necessary. Only a few people in life achieve a state of mind even remotely similar to them, and I don't find them relatable at all. I strive to be like them, but I can't relate to them. That's why M01 Mewtwo is my personal preference. I can relate to him and his development to realizing the truth. I like Miriam's Mewtwo because I strive to be like her, but I like M01 Mewtwo because I can relate to him and, in a way, try to be like his post-M01 self.

Murderous Kanto Mewtwo is still awesome to me because it achieved a higher body count than any Nintendo villain. Coming from Pokemon that's simply amazing. Like, Ganondorf had a bunch of monsters plague Hyrule to try and do that stuff for him but Mewtwo just straight up did it.

Femtwo though is amazingly troll (and waifu)

Unless you count the numerous buildings, structures, parks, and vehicles containing millions people destroyed with countless Jerks, the Giga-Microwave, and the Gravity Beam by this guy.

I am not sure if that's a Nintendo villain or a Platinum games villain. It'd be like saying Bayonetta is a Nintendo character.

Well, Bowser did set the stage for a universe rewrite...sure, it was averted, but still, if it happened, Mr Giant Robot there would be jealous.

I often come upon the thought of it being rather cruel of us to think of Mewtwo as a villain. Sure, he's done bad things in the past, but the Mewtwo we know now- he regrets those things and is truly a good hearted character. Heck, he was even willing to sacrifice himself to protect those he cared about.
I remember what Jessie's Ekans said a long time ago. "Pokemon do bad things- because trainers do bad things."
...there really isn't an evil Pokemon... just those who have been under bad influence.
I'd be willing to say Mewtwo has gained a pure heart...much like his mother. It'd be out of character for him to be a villainous type in Smash. ...or at least- now.

Only in the anime. Hydreigon and Gyarados destroy everything in their path, Cofagrigus eats and mummifies people, Chandelure destroys souls, Yvetal is the god of death, Drifloon spirits away children to hell, and that's not even getting into Giratina.

I will never understand those who think Pokemon being real would be a good thing. Mankind would have gone extinct ages ago.
Well, to be fair- there are Pokemon that are more powerful under the use of trainers. A Salamence under a trainer's command could easily dispose of a raging Gyarados or Hydreigon. Just as there are criminals, there will be officers.

Edit: Not to mention, the legendary Pokemon are also there to ensure peace. The only 3 that have not been that way are Groudon, Kyogre and Mewtwo. But Mewtwo has reformed and Rayquaza handles Kyogre and Groudon easily....especially with that shiny new Mega of his...

I suppose. But it would be pants-****tingly terrifying to go out boating, and run into a Gyarados when all you have is something like Zigzagoon.

Gyarados are very rare in the wild- the pokedex states this. Running into one would be like having a shark attack you. Sure, it'll happen...but not very often. Besides, Gyarados has plenty of victims to terrorize under the water....why bother with a boat when you've got a Wailord to chase? lol

Edit: And not only that- wild Pokemon have been stated to protect both people and other Pokemon at times. Who knows? Perhaps when you are attacked- a Kingdra might stand up for you.

I dunno, I've never felt inclined to hit somebody back because they slight me. I'd much rather just forgive and forget than scour away my time on pettiness and wrath.

Each to their own, though. Mewtwo is basically Dr Manhattan, except he's angry and looks like a mutant cat.

If I was Mewtwo...I'd still kill them. No survivors means no one to chase me. You all saw the consequences that followed Mewtwo allowing Giovanni and his team to live.

As far as the games go, Mewtwo is savage and devoid of compassion so I still wouldn't give it a seat at the nice guys table. Things can happen when Shulk casually inquires about the Cinnabar Island incident.

I'd rather have Gyarados kill me than be caught with a Pikachu. But Raichu? I'm all over that ****.

Magnezone would be my in case of Gyarados attack travel buddy. It can wall just about anything a wild gyarados could do and still zap to the extreme.

I think part of the Pikachu hate is because how overdone/thrown in our faces he is. The Pokemon itself is alright but after seeing that face plastered on everything, I can't help but have an interest in just about everything other than Pikachu.

Also, the old chubby Pikachu was much better.

That's more or less it. I'd be indifferent to Pikachu if it wasn't everywhere, constantly in the spotlight (anime does not help matters). I resent it even more because I adore Raichu, and the poor guy never gets anything.
