I was re-reading the second volume of Pokemon Adventures the other day and Blue (The female) mentions to Red that he's incorrect in assuming there are 150 known species of Pokemon. She claims Mew is the phantom 151st.
But, how is that possible, when Mewtwo, #150, was created literally days (in the manga)/ months (in the games) prior to Red/the Main Character's journey? Does this mean that Professor Oak and other scientists knew of Mewtwo's existence? And, if so, why was nothing done to stop it?
To me, it seems like an incredible discrepancy since Mewtwo was born of Mew and is entirely unique in its existence.
Thoughts?
