I'll tell you right now why Mewtwo should be loaded into a rocket and shot into the sun.

See this? My personal Mewtwo. He's an ugly little bastard with a penchant for extreme violence, but he spends most of his time fuming in my Stadium boxes because Alakazam is my Psychic and Mewtwo can be damned for all I care. Hell, I havn't even trained it up with Stat EXP yet, and I don't think I'm going to bother.

Okay, let's play a game. I'll swap my Alakazam with ol' Bitch here, and you leave YOUR Mewtwo at home. Yes, come fight mine without yours. Problems, ne? The problems are compounded when I wait for the fight to be almost over before pulling it out, meaning there's a high chance your special Mewtwo beaters are gone already. What do you do? You LOSE, of course, and I go off feeling like a heel. Is that fun? Any fully evolved Human type knows that that is not fun. Happened to me once... I was whupping somebody good and then BANG! My kamikaze was gone, Alakazam was gone, and all the friggers have Thunderbolt nowadays so Starmie didn't last very long.

A Mewtwo with even one Amnesia can quite easily rock an entire team. A Mewtwo with three Amnesias is about six steps from God (and a waste of a turn, Amnesia would only work twice). And with Recover! HOW do you beat something like this? Most anti-Mewtwo strategies assume that you've still got your entire team left to work with. If I have you down to three Pokémon, then there's a 50% chance anything you got that even had a prayer with Juggernaut is long gone. Is your anti-Mewtwo squad still intact? Probably not, because most people assume Mewtwo comes out first for easy wins and open with their counters. I do. Heh. Anyway, two Amnesias later and Mewtwo is incinvible. What do you do, Paralyze it? What if your Thunderwaver is gone? Kamikaze? No, Sandslash beat your Snorlax, remember? Physical attacks? Name one Physical attacker that'll take a 999 Blizzard. (Name ANYTHING!) Even worse, two, if you're switching in, otherwise you have to sacrifice something ELSE.

How do you beat this? You DON'T. Unless, of course, you have your own ugly little blockhead waiting for just such an occasion... Who would take heavy damage if it switched in on an Amnesiaed Mewtwo which is more then likely faster then it. Then, it's a duel! Who's got the cheaper bitch? Who can show off their Recover the most? Who duped PP Ups? *raises hand* Who's going to get the lucky freeze? (Answer: The Stadium AI! *rimshot*) Honestly. That's not a game, it's stupid.

*sigh* RPGamers..

Well, actually you can probably just skip some of the long posts that repeat themselves, but I can tell you one thing: this topic's not gonna get that kind of attention. Just jump in on the big one.

And for the record, I am anit-Mewtwo.

Hey Uiru, nice points, but post it under "Mewtwo's Cheapness Revisited," man. I'd seriously read that whole thing. It's like a novel. It will make you laugh, cry, want to kill Fanha, laugh again, cry some more, want to kill TeeJay, etc (hehe).

I'm also generally anti-Mewtwo, but Chansey happens to be one my favorites anyway, so it doesn't really matter to me when he's on my team.

Anyways, nice post. You bring up some nice points about leaving Mewtwo for last. This is seriously a way good strat for defeating someone else who hasn't got a Mewtwo. It quite simply guarantees your win unless your other 5 pokes are utter crap and don't do a thing to anyone. =p

Everyone assumes Mewtwo goes first so their support can come in, paralyse it or whatnot, then explode on it. Not everyone is the PokeSta AI that always uses the best pokemon you give it first up front ...

Lates ...
