Mewtwo Palette Swap Poll

[Chiroz]

I can't help but feel that Mewtwo's colors are references to the other legendaries' colors/shiny palettes

Orange/Red - Ho-oh
Blue - Lugia
Gold - Arceus
Seafoam - Dialga (Shiny)
Pink - Palkia
Shadow - Shadow Lugia

I don't know wtf is up with his Brown color though. Maybe it's an attempt on his Yellow colors?

Orange/Red is a nod to his original Red/Blue color which was that same color.

Teal (Seafoam) is a reference to Mewtwo's own shiny color.

Pink is a reference to Mew.

Blue is a reference to his originak artwork/concept where his tail was more blueish than purplish.

Shadow I agree is a reference to Shadow Lugia

He was bound to have a yellow color, every character has one.

Brown I have no idea, some people say his tail looked brown while inside the "tube liquids". Other's say it's a reference to his cape. Honestly I have no idea.

I was thinking that at first, but the more I look at those palettes, the less I agree with those statements.

Source to Orange/Red and Blue references?

Here are the original Red/Blue Mewtwo colors.

There's also Mewtwo's original concept color which was a very dark purple (there are much more pictures but I can only upload 3 at a time since I am on my phone).

The blueish color isn't exactly 100% accurate but it's close and Mewtwo needed a blue color, since every char has a blue color. He had a different blue color in Melee and they purposely changed it to this blue color.

Ah, now I see the Red/Orange one.
I still like to think of the Blue one as a Lugia skin, it helps add credence to the thought that one skin is Shadow Lugia reference.

That yellow green one is basically the shiny one, unfortunately. I just wish it was made to look more green. I used it in Melee and planned on it in this game, but I just hate how it looks.

I have a feeling that the mustardy-green color is a reference to his murky shiny color from Pokemon G/S, which would be pretty cool. Check it out!

 

[Ferntendo]

Seafoam was the closest thing to shiny Mewtwo so yeah. Also it looks very nice on him in HD.

It has been so long since I've played GS. I may actually start using that color. I used the green one in Melee and it was super green, but after seeing this, the green color he has in this Smash game makes a lot more sense.

 

[JimmyTheCaterpillar]

My overall favorite Mewtwo alt is his Red tail on the 3DS, because it turns his skin a very very faint gold and I like that a whole lot.

On the WiiU however, this trait isn't carried over and so I find myself using either the default or the brown/grey one.

I probably would have picked Shadow Mewtwo, since I tend to gravitate towards darker pallets, but - not to sound like some sort of hipster - I assumed everyone would gravitate towards that one, so I avoided it. And I'm glad I did - the brown pallet (I originally thought it was black, and it's such a dark shade of brown that I find it acceptable) is great and it's already my go-to Mewtwo pallet. My second choice would have been the blue one, and that's what my best friend uses.

I felt the same about Shadow MewTwo.. I knew it'd be popular.

I think pink is suppose to reference Mew.
I also think that "seafoam" is suppose to represent Mewtwo's shiny form, despite that Mewtwo's shiny appearance is green. It's the closest palette that resembles it.

EDIT: I also forgot to mention that blue Mewtwo's my favorite.

I like all his colors, but i always go with the default.

I doubt they're representing any other pokemon except maybe Mew (the pink one).

His shiny in Pokemon Stadium was blue, in Collosseum it was yellow (his shiny had a yellow-ish tone in gen2), and the Seafoam one resembles his current shiny.
They really just went with simple color palettes, and it works for me.

...though i really wish his Seafoam one was green instead. It just doesn't look as good as his shiny form in the current Pokemon games or Melee.

It's a shame his red/pink alt isn't that fanmade all Pinktwo which would greatly resemble Mew. Nevertheless it still resembles Mew's colors and that is the color I will pick.

My second choice is the light blue/cyan color.

There isn't a light blue/cyan one. There's a teal one people keep calling seafoam or something.

 

[ShyGuy XL]

Bluetwo (Blue alt) is the main palette swap I use right next the default I also like the Shadow Mewtwo and Cyan palettes

 

[PRIZZA]

Since his pink coloration points to Mew based, what if the cyan color is based on Shiny Mew? The color is very close, especially comparing to GSC (again).

 

[Deleted member]

Blue or Black Mewtwo. Sometimes i go brown, but it's not often.

 

[Kooby]

I like the shadow palette because the tail reminds me of white chocolate, sometimes makes me imagine me taking a bite out of it for some reason

 

[SleuthMechanism]

^I now like to think kirby mains see everything as food because they eat everything. XD;

 

[AreJay25]

I really like the teal one, so I use that the most. The blue one's pretty nice too.

 

[GanonPawnch]

First of all, I have no idea why people were calling Mewtwo's black alt "reversed colours" after they saw the trailer. His tail isn't black lol.
Anyway... I usually use his default one and sometimes rarely his black alt, but some people in this thread are making me wanna try his red/pink one, hmm. I'm not keen on his blue one, it's way too blue for me, it looks really unnatural. If they made it a lighter, more natural blue then I would have liked it.

Also, I wish they did make a true reversed coloured Mewtwo, imagine Mewtwo with a purple body and white tail? Would be pretty cool.

 

[Kenith]

I like Chocolate Mewtwo myself. I hope I'm the only one. I pride myself on liking things nobody else does.

 

[MewtwoMaster2002]

I usually go with default, but when I'm in the mood, I pick Shadow.
