Alright, so I was doing some pokemon research and found that Mewtwo was already in the Pokemon game, but Mew wasn't even known by most of the people who made the game.
"And so, Mew itself was quietly inserted into the code, and although the higher-ups at Game Freak were all aware of the new hidden content, Nintendo wasn't."
Only the High-ups of rare Knew about Mew, and No one from Nintendo knew. Yet In the game, The Pokémon Mansion journals say;
Diary: July 10
We christened the newly discovered Pokémon, Mew.
Diary: Feb. 6
Mew gave birth.
We named the newborn Mewtwo.
No one at all (The public) knew about Mew until the glitch, yet in-game There is evidence that Mew exists. It's understandable that some people didn't remember this, or care, since after collecting/seeing 150 pokemon some might not remember everything about the game. But I see it as a bit weird. Did no one from Nintendo play-test the game and say "Hey, Who's this Mew? There's MewTwo, But I've never heard of Mew." Was there no one in Nintendo who play-tested the game? No one at all questioned Mew?
I'm probably missing some info on this, And If I am, just tell me, And I'll add it/correct myself. This just intrigued me.
And that "Mew Gave Birth" thing is a completely different subject.
Edit: Woops, forgot to site my Sources.
