Red and Blue: So rare that it is still said to be a mirage by many experts. Only a few people have seen it worldwide.
Yellow: When viewed through a microscope, this POKéMON’s short, fine, delicate hair can be seen.
Gold: Apparently, it appears only to those people who are pure of heart and have a strong desire to see it.
Silver: Its DNA is said to contain the genetic codes of all POKéMON, so it can use all kinds of techniques.
Crystal: Because it can learn any move, some people began research to see if it is the ancestor of all POKéMON.
Ruby and Sapphire: MEW is said to possess the genetic composition of all POKéMON. It is capable of making itself invisible at will, so it entirely avoids notice even if it approaches people.
FireRed: A POKéMON of South America that was thought to have been extinct. It is very intelligent and learns any move.
Diamond, Pearl, Platinum: Because it can use all kinds of moves, many scientists believe MEW to be the ancestor of Pokémon.
Sword: It’s very intelligent and can use an incredible variety of moves. Many believe that all other Pokémon are descendants of this one.
Shield: This mythical Pokémon is said to be extinct, but sightings of it are still being reported to this day.
BTB: The OLD Species Pokemon, more like! It can do anything! Probably! Including being a real cutie.
