You ever notice how Pokemon always say their own names?

Yet whenever you encounter Mew 2 in the games, it always says Mew, instead of Mew 2.

It happens in red and blue. It happens in the Gen 3 remix Fire, Red, and Leaf Green.

And it even happens in Pokemon X and Y. I think we all know the answer.

Mu 2 is a clone of the original Pokemon Mu, and Pokemon always say their name, with Mu 2,

just being the nickname the scientists gave it, but still, it's a very cool example of attention to detail.

That said, it is pretty darn disrespectful to keep calling it Mu II to its face.

Like, imagine if you had a human child name, I don't know,

Amber.

And then you cloned her, and then you started calling the clone Amber 2.

That would be pretty messed up, right?

They call me Amber too, but I'm going to Hello internet. Welcome to Game Theory where we're just like Nintendo

constantly looking to make money off of old franchises. I would be wagging my

finger at Nintendo for the shameless retread if it wasn't for the fact that they had also just released

Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Evie.

Two games that straight up remake the campaign from the originals.

Easy cash grabs abound. But of course I had to play them. It is my job after all.

It's a tough job, but someone's got to do it. So of course, while playing through them, I was on the

lookout for what new additions to the series

they decided to slip in with this revisit to where it all began.

Lesser emphasis on combat, check, no random battles.

Great, girl who repeatedly pelts your face with polka balls.
