FTR, Movie 15 underwhelmed me entirely. They met Keldeo and devised a plan to help him. This could have been done in two anime episodes.
So I'm honestly worried for #16.

This is what I think too, or at least what I'm hoping for. I like the idea of "Newtwo" being a failed experiment instead of an evolution or the obvious alternate form for Mewtwo (or Mew).I honestly believe it's a failed experiment. Probably less powerful.
That's nothing really new, they've been getting progressively worse since the 4th or 5th one. Those were the last ones I've seen.
Team Rocket didn't canonly create Mewtwo in the Games. And thus far the only group that has tried to make a Powerful artificial Pokemon have been Team Plasma, of course N shut down the project so Genesect never got the same kind of Power as Mewtwo.
Either way I wonder if this new forme/new Pokemon will learn "all" moves like Mew or if it'll still have the normal Mewtwo set.
It was created by a scientist after years of horrific gene splicing and DNA engineering experiments.
A vicious psychic Pokémon created by genetic engineering. its cold, glowing eyes strike fear into its enemy.
It doesn't say it was Team Rocket, but they say in-game that they're always after the strongest Pokemon, and that their plans were always foiled somehow by the player. What were those plans? Conquering the world? Theirs was more geared towards finding and stealing the world's strongest Pokemon... and since Giovanni was such a powerful influence (and a lot of his "Rockets" were scientists and engineers in-game, too), it can be suggested that even in R/B/Y, Mewtwo was the result of Team Rocket's lust for the world's most powerful Pokemon. Also, a lone team of scientists probably wouldn't have the funding Giovanni could have made available, being a mobster and all (and just look at that suit; the guy's obviously loaded). If he didn't start it, I bet'cha Giovanni at least funded the operation.
That's what I'm going with, anyway. Regardless, Team Rocket or not, it was genetically engineered, so why did no one attempt this after Mewtwo "ran away" and hid in Cerulean Cave, apparently never to be seen again (until you stumble on it... but that's not even part of the storyline and could be skipped / missing entirely)?
Still doesn't make much sense, and still makes me happy to see that after four generations (not including R/B/Y), this was finally revisited. Yay, Mewbuu.
Thought about this last night. Cinnabar has that destroyed lab with Mew documents. Inside, there are scientists that use very Rocket-like Pokemon. It's similar to the movie where Mewtwo destroys the Rocket's lab and escapes to some off-coast rickety ol' island-like cave thing to clone its own Pokemon (Cerulean Cave?)
I'm just thinking that since the Mewtwo story wasn't really a "big thing" in R/B/Y (it was a small post-game side-quest with brief explanation, if you chose to read them, on Cinnabar Island), the company may have tried to better explain what occurred through the movies. Makes sense, anyway. Also, someone mentioned maybe they took over Silph Co. for the MasterBall... After Mewtwo's escape, is it not possible that they wanted the MasterBall to firmly capture and seal Mewtwo from ever disappearing again? Especially since in-game, Giovanni is automatically Badge Eight, meaning any caught Pokemon *has* to obey. If he used the MasterBall on his escaped-Mewtwo, it would have to obey him and conquering the world would never be easier for him.
Gen VI ought to be a way for them to actually explain, sans movie references, what happened with Mewtwo, and if Team Rocket was ever involved as shown in the film (and minorly suggested in the games).
Again,
- Giovanni employs Rocket scientists to make the world's most powerful Pokemon from Mew's genes /non-canon
- Scientific Lab on Cinnabar (with scientists carrying "traditional" Rocket Pokemon) is destroyed /canon&non-canon
- Mewtwo escapes and isolates himself on an island /canon&non-canon
- Silph Co. is taken over by Team Rocket and Giovanni. Silph Co. is famous for its PokeBall technology; thus, Giovanni was probably after a MasterBall /canon&speculation
- Giovanni plotted to use the MasterBall against Mewtwo, his escaped "creation" /speculation
And it's possible the new team (or maybe TR returns) finds the scattered papers at Cinnabar Lab and Mewbuu is the result of that? We shall see.
Imagine if one of those was used on the Team Rocket Meowth. I'd be curious what would happen if that story comes to pass one day, as he's already been tried in regular Pokéballs. But that's off-topic, so I won't comment further than that.Only thing I have to say is, Giovanni WAS after the Masterball. He wanted the company to make more for his plans to steal all the Pokemon and rule the world through force. That's not really a what if scenario, he was trying to steal the Masterball until you stop him.
Whether it was for Mewtwo can be speculated, but he was after it cause it was the ultimate Pokeball.
