About Me

I am also a contributer on Damnlag dot com. You can read my column, Broken Pixels and check out all the other great stuff we've got going on there. Just remember to wear pants.

Anyway, about me...

My name is Jack Ninivaggi AKA Wandering Pixel, and I'm here to rock your world! Or at least cause some sort of tremor.

I live over on the east coast in New Jersey. My favorite types of games are those that have great writing. I'm going to college right now and plan on majoring in either communications or literature. When I'm not playing games I'm either reading a book or comic, watching a movie or sleeping. I'm a huge fan of animation and my favorite thing to do is watch old animated films, I'm also a theater geek, and frequently make trips to New York to watch the latest musicals and plays on Broadway. one day I plan on making a living by writing, though I haven't yet decided what kind of writing I want to do. Anyway, this is my blog. Enjoy!

Mewtwo, Shut Your Whore Mouths wanderingpixel | 8:47 PM on 03.12.2010 18 comments

Upon reading the recent flood of Pokemon profiles, I am shocked that you have all forgotten who the greatest Pokemon of all time is: Mewtwo. Mewtwo was conceived and developed by Ken Sugimori for the first generation of Pocket Monsters games Red and Green, known outside of Japan as Pokémon Red and Blue. Its name, which means the "second of Mew", derived from its status as a genetically modified duplicate of the original Mew. Until the first Pokémon franchise's movie was localized for the United States, Mewtwo was rarely referred to as a clone in Japanese material. Kubo Masakazu, executive producer of Mewtwo Strikes Back, noted that they "intentionally avoid using the term 'kuron' [clone] because the word has a frightening feel". Despite being Mew's descendant, it precedes Mew numerically in the Pokédex due to the latter's secret inclusion in the games by Game Freak programmer Shigeki Morimoto. During an interview, Pokémon Company president Tsunekazu Ishihara stated Mewtwo was expected to be popular with North American audiences, citing their preference for strong, powerful characters. Its build is very different compared to Mew's, appearing as a large bipedal feline, with a white body, pronounced purple tail and stomach, feline head, and a mass of flesh connecting the center of its back to its head behind its neck. Its appearance has been likened to "an oversized cross of cat, squirrel and kangaroo". Mewtwo's design in the series and original games is intended to be "the strongest Pokémon ever". Mewtwo is psychic, using telekinesis to fly and telepathy to speak. When fighting, it uses its abilities to shield itself or throw opponents to compensate for its lack of speed. Otherwise, it conserves its energy until needed. It can regenerate as well, able to fully recover from near-fatal injuries quickly. Mewtwo stands 6 feet 7 inches (204 cm) tall. As a character in the games, Mewtwo seldom has spoken dialogue, and when it does it is presented as vicious, primarily interested in proving its own strength. Media outside of video games for the franchise such as the anime have expanded its character, giving Mewtwo a male voice and, while aware of why it was created, actively questioning its existence. Facts about Mewtwo 1.) He can fuck you up with his mind. 2.) He was in the best Pokemon movie. 3.) He can talk. 4.) He was the coolest character in Super Smash Bros. Melee. 5.) He is pink and gray. 6.) He has badass metal armor. Attached photos:
