    And yes, Arceus is stated as the Pokemon God. Alpha Pokemon (the first). Arceus basically created everything.

    But, I voted Mew. Mew is possibly the greatest Pokemon ever, as it has a HUGE variety of movesets. Arceus has plates, but then again, do the plates come with moves? No. He (yes, Mew IMO is NOT a FEMALE) rocks!

    Guys. Stop calling Arceus "God". It never has once said this in any game or anime or movie or anything.

    Well, it has been referred to as the God of all Pokémon, which renders the quoted post null and void.

    Anyways, I have a view on the Mew & Arceus debacle and I dislike what I've come out with, but it's a pretty reasonable explanation. Arceus was the overlord of the Pokémon world, it was the first Pokémon ever and it had the power to create an entity known as Mew. Mew came into the Pokémon world and gave life to every Pokémon there is. Some Pokémon were more important than others; Groudon was created and it made land while Kyogre was born and it caused water to rise. Meowth, on the other hand, was a Pokémon destined to roam the world in search of food.

    Yeah, my view sort of resembles Christianity (which I don't really believe in and we won't be going into it in this thread) but without it or something similar to it, you get the Mew & Arceus debacle, where you argue forever as to who is the true Original One.

    My favourite, however, is Mew. It was there first and it could learn every move in the game. Yeah, Arceus can change types but it usurped Mew's throne as the overlord of Pokémon for no real reason and isn't favoured by me at all thanks to that deed.

    I'd have to say Mew. Not because it's from the original 151. It was not even catchable in the original games, unless you used the glitch.

    I like it more because it looks kind. Arceus looks like hellspawn in my opinion, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing.

    Mew also can learn every move,and even though Arceus can change types, Mew is the only Pokemon besides Ditto who can learn Transform.

    So, I'm not putting down Arceus, it is a great addition to any team, but I would choose Mew for the last spot in my party anyday.

    I don't know how Arceus battles. So I'll have to go with Mew. XD

    I went with Arceus. I love the aesthetic properties of it's design and the epicness of the idea of it being the creator of all POKeMON. Also, the idea that it can change type based on the plate it is holding is really cool, in my opinion.

    I think the idea of a god pokemon was a bad idea, so I chose Mew. I mean, it rules out the possibility of any better legendary, since the god should be strongest.

    Yay Mew! He's way cooler than Arceus, and he learns every TM in the game...can't get more diverse than that!

    wow plates *sarcasticly*, in pokereality if arceus changed type , lets say to fire, mew would use a water move, in the poke world he can learn any move, so MEW FTW!!!!
