Which came first..? o_O

[Souless]

Ah!!! My head!

*Processing what you just said*

Well, according to this Mew is the base DNA for all pokemon, since he is the ancestor of them. On the other hand, Arceus, being a God identified as a pokemon it's said to have created the universe.

No Universe, no Mew.

So Arceus is "The creator"

Mew is "The Ancestor"

So according to Sinnoh people beliefs (and a bit of logic) Arceus is first... but Mew pwns =]

 

[Erimgard]

I agree with what others have said:
Arceus created the universe, Dialga, Palkia, the three pixies, AND mew
Dialga and Palkia gave birth time time and space
Mew gave birth to the pokemon race

 

[Eruption]

What I still dont get is that if Arceus is god why isn't it infinite and uncatchable?

 

[Waker of Chaos]

It's already been confirmed that Arceus came before Mew.

1) Arceus is known as the Alpha Pokémon. Mew is known as the New Species Pokémon.

2) Legend states that an Egg appeared from a vortex of chaos, and from it Arceus was born. Arceus then created Dialga and Palkia, so that time and space would be created by them. Arceus then created Mesprit, Azelf, and Uxie to give emotion, willpower, and knowledge to the new universe. It would then go to sleep. Mew was simply the first Pokémon to originate from this planet, while Arceus had created Palkia, who created this planet, and all other space.

What I still dont get is that if Arceus is god why isn't it infinite and uncatchable?

Arceus becomes curious about the Azure Flute's melody, and thus awakes to see what it's about. Either that, or the Azure Flute is a straightaway form of summoning Arceus. It's possible to catch Arceus because only a person pure of heart can play the Azure Flute, and thus Arceus duly honors the Trainer.

Nice responses guys... Hmm...
Mew, according to all your comments, is the New Specie PKMN and the ancestor of all PKMN, while Arceus, from the vortex of chaos? Could that mean that Arceus came from another dimension? And so Mew and Arceus are not even related..? If so, then neither both of them created each other...

-__- My confused head...

 

[Villes]

Arceus came first.

It created the Pokemon world and created Mew while Mew was simply just a descendant of all Pokemon. Think f this:

God=Arceus

Adam and Eve=Mew

Note: Sorry for usiing religion. >_<

 

[snikerz35]

im

im starting to get it arceus was born it created dalgia and palkia which helped it then arceus created the 3 psycic legendarys.mew on the other hand created the pokemon but arceus created the universe. so mew created all pokemon.

 

[Ketsuban80]

In my opinion, Arceus came first. Because I remember seeing a story made by a Pokemon-fan, and In the story, Arceus passed gave me the ability to pass on his DNA. I would post a link to the story, but I have to get 15 posts first. So I'll post a link to the story later.

 

[STEELIXMANIAC]

I got another theory. Mew was born when the Universe was created as well, but Arceus did not create it.

 

[snikerz35]

i

maybe arceus isnt a god maybe they just call it a god pokemon. so i still go with mew.

 

[boo836]

Arceus was first because as mentioned, it is the alpha pokemon alpha is greek for A. Also, it was born from an egg in the darkness. The deity Chaos from greek mythology was born in this way also. Then sprang gaia, tarturos, nyx, erebus and eros. 5 deities that match the sinnoh trio,dialga and palkia. With them, Mew was then born, with all their DNA. So, it's mythology that it is, not science in this theory.

 

[pokefanlidd]

i think mew was known to be the first ever pokemon. im not completely sure though..

This has been discussed way to many times...

It's Arceus. Read the books in Canalave Library. It was god, so it came first, and created the legendaries. Mew has the DNA of all Pokemon, but I'd think legendaries are beyond DNA. And, how could scientists study the DNA of every legendary Pokemon anyways? I'd guess that Mew's DNA thing excludes legends, including Arceus, their creator.

The words below might be a bit offensive to some religious people. Just putting it as a spoiler so no one has to click it. I really don't mean it offensively at all, but you never know how someone'll take things, so...

Spoiler:

It'd be funny if this turned into a Pokemon-Religious argument... People who believe Arceus came first, the Arceustians VS people who believe Mew came first, the Mewslums. Lol...

 

[Pokeman Deoxys]

arceus

In that city with the cave a house thats biger than the others has a book in it saying whan the earth was made dialga and palkia were born,then sinnohs ledgendary trio were made.

It says nothing about DNA



See

I should disagree with you about Mew unable to acquire the DNA of legendaries...

If you have seen the movie Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, you should have seen Mew transformed unto Ho-oH...

 

[code zerro the deluge]

lets think of it like this. Mew can learn almost any move. limited to special moves in the video game. but it can learn all tm and hm moves right? well think this arceus cant. I believe it all started with Mew. Mew was the first. Plus ho-oh did not create the legendary dogs or cats whatever they are. he just brought them back to life

 

[Waker of Chaos]

Again, Arceus came first.

Only the vortex of chaos existed, from which came an Egg that hatched into the Original One. This is Arceus. It created Dialga and Palkia, then Mesprit, Uxie, and Azelf, then took to sleep.

Mew is the first Pokémon to originate from this world, which wasn't here before that.

Arceus came first.

 

[code zerro the deluge]

so why cant arceus learn all the tm and hm's? arceus was born me wasn't

 

[BakingBluePotatoe]

this is like asking "who came first: The Chicken or the Egg?"

Noone Knows.

now, if you ask me... it was Arceus.

Out of chaos an Egg appared.
The Egg hatched into Arceus.
Arceus Created Dailga and Palkia.

Dailga Created Celebii.
Palkia Created Groudon and Kyrgre to shape the Planets.
Palkia Created Rayquza to calm the spirits of Groudon and Kyrogre
Palkia Created Deoxys, who later Created Jirachii.

Giratina was some freak accident from nowhere.

Kyrogre Created Lugia, who created the Birds, and Manaphy.
Manaphy Created Phione
Groudon Created Ho-Oh, who created the Dogs, and Shaymin.


my brain hurts..... I'll finish later

 

[destinedjagold]

may I ask the source of your PKMN family branch?

I still think Mew came first, though... Hmm...

ALso, if Palkia created Groudon which created Ho-oH, then that means Mew isn't related to Ho-oh at all, which we clearly saw in the movie that Mew transformed unto Ho-oh because Mew has Ho-oh's DNA.
