This is like when you were a kid, and the weather forecaster was predicting a blizzard a couple days off. At first you don't want to get too excited, but in the back of your mind you start freaking out about the possible snow day. But as the days roll on, the predictions just keep getting better and better, until you're at the point where they're saying it's going to be the biggest storm of all time.

So now you're all "fuck yeah snow day" and go to bed knowing there won't be school tomorrow, and you wake up and there's barely two inches of snow on the ground.

tldr; too much hype, and I'm scared.

I can't recall a single time I got a snow day out of all those supposed "monster storms", and I live in Toronto. It snows 14 months a year here.

The moral of the story, kids, is never get hyped over video games.

That B/W2 promo was the best thing ever. Just watched it for the first time...and wow. I gotta make some gifs out of that.

Mew, Ditto and Mew Two are the same thing. Mew can grant mother freaking wishes. Its not really fair to compare it to lets say, a Dragon who can melt boulders.

Well they just wrapped Denpa Men 2 not too long ago. Might be working on the localization right now though.

Wait, what? I thought Jirachi was the one who granted wishes. And what in the world does Ditto have to do with this?

I really wonder if there going to be some big changes with this game- the way they are hyping it up and announcing it is very different, I'm expecting big things.

There are beautiful things happening in this thread.

And reading back, it really is stark how much Masuda is hyping this one up.

Alrus · Jan 8, 2013

CorvoSol said:

There's a theory that Ditto is a failed Mew clone (something like them having the same stat and learning some abilities at the same level, plus there's a lot of Ditto encountered before you meet mewtwo).

Edit: Beaten with a better explanation.

Rubius · Jan 8, 2013

CorvoSol said:

Ditto are bad version of Mew Two.

Also, Yeah, I thought that Mew could give wishes, but it seem that the only thing Mew does is being able to transform into everything.
"Mew's main abilities include turning invisible at will (similar to Victini), creating force-fields of psychic energy and being able to transform into any one of the other 648 species of Pokémon. Mew is capable of wielding every type of attack possible. It also has the ability to float in mid-air, in much the same fashion as Celebi and Jirachi. It has been seen to be able to swim underwater as well."
Like Ditto.
