In Gen 1 if Mew uses Transform and you catch it, it glitches and it changes permanently to a Ditto

@@BearWith_You legally,you can't even fight mew,glitchwise,as far as I know you can only encounter lv7 mew,which doesn't have transform yet,so not sure what you on lol

@@BearWith_You is there some way to change mew's encounter level to 10+ or what?

@@extremepokegamer4037 Doesn't mean you can't battle one with Transform via other means. Supra did a Pokemon Yellow Randomizer Nuzlock and his encounter for the Route South of Cerulean was Mew, it used Transform and he caught it and it turned into a Ditto

@@extremepokegamer4037 I may be wrong since its been a while since i played gen 1 but I'm pretty sure you can get its level up by doing a different glitch.. (it might be doing the same glitch again, like i said i havent played in a hot minute)

Yeah this was intended implications from all the way back to fire red.

Ditto was never implied to be failed clones of Mew simply related to it somehow. For all we know Mew & Mewtwo naturally shed the things from their bodies, which is a rival theory. Even after destroying the place Mewtwo probably still visits the Cinnabar Mansion to make more dittos, which is why an unlimited amount exist there assuming they don't just randomly divide themselves. Ditto Experiment Theory doesn't explain why the Dittos appear in places that have nothing to do with Mewtwo's Creation.

Yeah, I also thought this was just straight up canon, but it’s a fact I would’ve read in maybe like, the Pokédex toy, or a Nintendo of America magazine 25 years ago. Something I know as fact but don’t know where I got that fact…

@@WaterKirby1994 My theory is mytosis, Dittos are as close as "sentient raw genetic material" as it gets (Eevee eat your heart out), with more in common with cells than other animals (Pokemons). So it wouldn't sound out of reach for Ditto to, rather than reproduce, to replicate themselves once they have absorbed enough nutrients

I swear to gawd!!! I felt this was already debunked

Good point

​@@buttereo6277 Getting that to work though is probably very, very difficult, if not just an inefficient use of time (limit approaches infinity type difficult)-----since as Matpat stated there are not ANY cases where any Ditto----trained or untrained have ever done that in the entire franchise (anime, game, etc)----you'd expect not one, but at least 2-3 of these special Ditto to exist if this was something you could feasibly 'simply train for.'

No no no. Obviously what happened is the Sonic Team Company were trying to restore the time honored tradition of bad video game movies. For decades video game movies have baffilingly disregarded the lore. Despite the fact they were literally spoon fed an already made script and universe they tried to make their own with no connection to the original. Detective Pikachu broke that tradition but Sonic Team weren't willing to see it die. They aren't a stupid company unable to understand something as simple as being faithful to the original. They are heroes of tradition fighting to preserve the old ways we all know and love. . . . . . :P Nah just kidding. They are hacks that haven't understood their own fan base for like a decade. Their biggest hits in recent memory were both games that relied on nostalgia and recreating classic games.

Aw, crap! You got me with the last two words.

The official handbook literally says it.

@@NeCoruption Valid point, although often times those handbooks aren't fact-checked by Nintendo. There've been ones in the past that say things like Nincada evolving into Ninjask OR Shedinja, rather than both, or confusing the names of Larvitar and Pupitar.

I always considered it canon since I was introduced to Ditto so when this video came out, I was so confused, "Is Ditto being a failed clone not actually canon?". Then I realized that I was way ahead of this video.

I haven't seen the Detective Pikachu film cause I don't care for live action adaptation films. But did know of the Ditto/Mew/Mewtwo connection since first played Yellow/Red/Blue in early 2000s

In pixelmon when you try to make mewtwo you would get ditto or mewtwo

Yes they can

@RooByrne i think he means that this make it more clear that ditto is indeed a attempt of making a mew

@RooByrne at least in the games when transformed it will copy all stats except HP, and with a very low base 48 HP stats it will have less HP than just about every legendary

well... he's not wrong

Bruh moment

Pikachu’s cute little fluffy self is way more important then end game!

He’s definitely not wrong

*F L O O F*

yea totally, they were doing genetic experiments on other pokemon too like the Torterra so why couldn't they have just also done experiments on dittos too. and why would the experiments on Mewtwo create a super ditto this time rather than just a normal ditto like the ones before? they probably just enhanced a regular ditto like they did with the torterra

“Some kind”

@@balamugunthbalaji8110 May be true. Pokédex entries say that there is transformation from memory and they could just enhance it. But the thing is that the anime is not the canon, we just haven't seen it transforming using memory in games (I do not recall any trainer having Ditto, wild Ditto just doesn't seem like he has enough desire to win this battle to think of some other pokémon that may be useful against trainer's one and maybe in-game trainer just haven't trained his Ditto to be reliable enough when transforming from memory and therefore there is no such option). It would be really nice to have that option in newer games, maybe make it canonical, like train memory with Ditto and after he reaches certain level in memory training, he would remember, for example, 1 pokémon he transformed into and with every memory training level, he would remember one more or something similar. How exactly could every experiment to make a Mewtwo end up with this same Ditto? If there were many experiments, every one of them may have ended up in Ditto (some ustable genes in a shapeless form), but every Ditto may be unique in his own way and this "super Ditto" may be just some classic Ditto that was made in later stages of Mew cloning, so he has better memory than any "older Ditto", but still genetically unstable (so in a form of Ditto). Or his memory has been trained for 20 years (trained pokémon are stronger than wild ones), all it takes really is just to play some games with him every day and then try if his transformation from memory got any better. There has to be a way how that details-wrong-when-transformating-from-memory thing got in pokédex entries in the first place.

@@dsoipask yea that makes sense too, ur also right but im still gonna stand by my ideas

I know, i just always excepted it as a fact

EDIT: LIKE THIS SO MATPAT SEES IT! MatPat, I think you are actually wrong in your theory. Not about the relation between these pokemon, but calling Ditto as "A failed Mew Clone". Let me explain: If ditto is supposed to be a FAILED clone of mew, why is there more than one ditto? Think about it. If they see there was a mistake, they would have rearranged some parameters and try again. If it failed again, it would be very weird if the result is again, a ditto. It should be another thing, since parameters would be different. My theory is that ditto is actually a SUCCESSFUL clone. If what the scientists wanted was a strong pokemon... Mew isn't a game changing choice! There are lots of other legendary pokemon that are way stonger that it. But what if the experiment was looking for something that ONLY MEW HAS? That's right, I'm talking about the transform capacity mew has. This would explain the existance of many dittos that don't have a change between them. Maybe the actual failed clone is actually MEWTWO! Yes, I think that because of a mistake in creating dittos, the creation became unstable, thing that made the scientists keep an eye on it more. But you don't see any keeping a eye on your supposed " failed clone" ditto. The investigation and cloning came to an end when mewtwo exited its chaimber: the real FAIL of Mew's clonation. Mewtwo, one of the most beloved pokemon, might actually be an artificial experiment gone WRONG. And your slaved daycare ditto, might actually be the true objective of mew's cloning. BUT HEY, that's just a theory, on a GAME THEORY. Thanks for reading

AlesandroDeMoor MatPat’s not gonna see this, this is a reply.

@@AlexHomeyer I made a comment aswell

Yeah i always thought it was a fact but i started in firered and watched the anime.

It'd still be a genetic experiment as they're experimenting with genetics! Making stronger pokemon is changing genes to get the result you want..it's genetic experimentation.
