What is mew

[Zelda]

I basically saw Mew as a little cute cat...

That is what I thought too...

 

[coolcatkim22]

"When viewed through a microscope, this POKeMON's short, fine, delicate hair is seen."

Also I don't think that we can prove which came first if the game can't even say that Arceus really did create the universe or if mew really is the ancestor of all Pokemon.
It's always maybes and myths.

 

[bobbie246]

I would say....Gah! That's hard!
He looks like he should like something, but doesn't at the same time....
I give up, he looks like a human =D

 

[Kite Katsumi]

Mew looks very similar to a kangaroo rat.

you tell me which one came first

Arceus' description just says it it existed before the universe, not before Mew. Maybe Mew existed before it too?
Just because something's supposed to be a "god" doesn't mean it existed first. Jesus is considered god by the Christians, yet he wasn't the first living being, as far as I know.

Anyways, on-topic; Mew is a furless, pink, floating cat. The name pretty much tells you everything.

i think its a based on a baby human (not strictly an animal, i know)

This is because:
in possibly all the generations its is seen with its eyes closed.. sleeping like a baby
once again in possibly all generations its curled up in a ball.. like a baby in a womb

yes it has a tail but it seems to resemble an umbilical cord to me

 

[SethAragorn]

Well you all saw the lucario movie where they save that crystal tree with the regies inside.
Mew transforms into all possible pokemon trecko, ho oh and so on.
So it has to be the first pokemon that was there.
And my opinion is mew has an own species for itself which no other pokemon has..

But, that movie came out before Arceus was out. Arceus isn't out yet, and Nintendo hasn't revealed the secrets of Arceus yet.

Mew may be that species or even Arceus.

A fetus like I said. Which will be something eventually like the mommy saying to it, you can be whatever you want to be baby!
Remember how Mewtwo was curled up in the movie when he was born. A natural instinct in his DNA to be in the fetal position.

Mew resembles a cat. Hence "mew"? The sound a cat makes. And it does resemble a cat a lot, even if it is small and cuddly like a mouse.

Ditto!! Thats what I was about to say. Although I think it looks like a Mouse more then a cat.

well cats arent hairless so how can it be a cat?

 

[WiiMann]

He is like a hairless cat with no claws and floats
....and there are some hairless cats just watch austin powers and look at Mr.Bigglesworth Search it on google

 

[Chuchan]

And the Sphynx cat too. So yeah like I said before I say Mew is a cat.

 

[.emerald]

Its obvious. Deriving it from its name - "Mew". It resembles a cat with pink membrane (Does it even have fur for that matter?) and has traits concerning that of a mouse. It's adorably mysterious...

 

[toybeast5000]

mew is a super cat with awesome power and potential

 

[Mystery Soul]

Mew is a pink cat. And it does have fur. Pokemon the first movie, anyone?

 

[Vernikova]

I agree with this. That's what I always thought Mew was anyway.

 

[coolcatkim22]

BTW does any body know what that whole bubble thing at the beginning of the movie was all about?
I just assume that's how mews were born into the world but it isn't very clear.

It was Protect I believe.

 

[Mr. Epic]

well cats arent hairless so how can it be a cat?

In Pokémon it is described to have hair so fine, it can only be seen under a microscope.
I conclude that with all its characteristics it is definitely a pink cat-like Pokémon.
