WHO AM I?

WHO AM I?

WHO AM I?

SINCE THE BEGINNING,

HUMANS AND POKMON ALIKE

FOR ITS MEANING.

WHAT AM I?

ITS MIND IS RACING!

THOSE VOICES...

Male scientist:
I HOPE

WE DON'T LOSE THIS ONE.

THEY'RE OUTSIDE...

WE CAN'T LOSE THIS ONE.

WHERE I MUST BE.

OH!

[ALARM SOUNDING]

TELL HIM WHAT'S HAPPENED!

Male scientist:

LET US HEAR:

PSYCHIC POWERS?

FOR YEARS WE STRUGGLED TO

SUCCESSFULLY CLONE A POKMON

TO PROVE OUR THEORIES,

BUT YOU'RE THE FIRS SPECIMEN TO SURVIVE.

THAT IS MEW,

THE RAREST OF ALL POKMON.

FROM ITS DNA:

WE CREATED YOU--MEWTWO.

MEWTWO?

AM I ONLY A COPY?

NOTHING BUT MEW'S SHADOW?

YOU ARE GREATER THAN MEW,

IMPROVED THROUGH THE POWER

OF HUMAN INGENUITY.

WE USED THE MOS ADVANCED TECHNIQUES

TO DEVELOP YOUR AWESOME

PSYCHIC POWERS.

SO, I AM SIMPLY THE END

RESULT OF YOUR EXPERIMENT.

WHAT BECOMES OF ME NOW THA YOUR EXPERIMENT IS OVER?

OUR EXPERIMENT ISN'T OVER YET.

IT'S JUST BEGINNING.

NOW THE SERIOUS:

TESTING BEGINS.

THESE HUMANS,

THEY CARE NOTHING FOR ME.

CONGRATULATIONS.

WE'VE DONE IT.

[ALL TALKING AT ONCE]

IS THE NEW TANK READY?

NO. WE'LL HAVE TO

COME UP WITH A CAGE.

CONGRATULATIONS.

HA HA!

EXCELLENT. WE'LL STAR OUR TESTING RIGHT AWAY.

IS THAT MY PURPOSE?

AM I JUST AN EXPERIMENT?

A LABORATORY SPECIMEN?

THIS CANNOT BE MY DESTINY.

THOSE FOOLS THOUGHT YOU

WERE A SCIENCE EXPERIMENT.

BUT I, I SEE YOU

AS A VALUABLE PARTNER.

PARTNER?

WITH YOUR PSYCHIC POWERS

AND MY RESOURCES,

TOGETHER WE CAN:

CONTROL THE WORLD.

I DO NOT NEED YOUR HELP

FOR THAT, HUMAN.

A WILDFIRE DESTROYS

EVERYTHING IN ITS PATH.

IT WILL BE THE SAME

WITH YOUR POWERS

UNLESS YOU LEARN

TO CONTROL THEM.

I CAN HELP YOU DO THAT.

HOW?

SHOW YOU A WAY:

TO FOCUS YOUR POWERS

THAT WILL MAKE YOU

BUT WHY AM I HERE?

NOW I FULLY PERCEIVE

MY POWER.

BUT WHAT IS MY PURPOSE?

[FOOTSTEPS]

Giovanni:

TO SERVE YOUR MASTER.

YOU WERE CREATED

TO FIGHT FOR ME.

THAT IS YOUR PURPOSE.

THAT CANNOT BE.

YOU SAID:

WE WERE PARTNERS.

WE STOOD AS EQUALS.

YOU WERE CREATED BY HUMANS

TO OBEY HUMANS.

YOU COULD NEVER:

BE OUR EQUAL.

HUMANS MAY:

HAVE CREATED ME,

BUT THEY WILL:

NEVER ENSLAVE ME!

THIS CANNO BE MY DESTINY!

STOP THIS NOW!

I WAS NOT BORN:

OF POKMON.

I WAS CREATED.

AND MY CREATORS HAVE

USED AND BETRAYED ME.

SO, I STAND ALONE!

AAH!

WHO AM I?

WHAT IS MY TRUE REASON

FOR BEING?

I WILL FIND:

MY OWN PURPOSE...

AND PURGE THIS PLANE OF ALL WHO OPPOSE ME.

HUMAN AND POKMON ALIKE.

Satoshi Tajiri

Satoshi Tajiri (Japanese: 田尻 智, Hepburn: Tajiri Satoshi, born August 28, 1965) is a Japanese video game designer best known as the creator of Nintendo's Pokémon franchise and the founder of video game developer Game Freak. A fan of arcade games, Tajiri wrote for and edited his own video gaming fanzine Game Freak with Ken Sugimori, before evolving it into a development company of the same name. Tajiri claims that the joining of two Game Boys via a link cable inspired him to create a game which embodied the collection and companionship of his childhood hobby and special interest, insect collecting. The game, which became Pokémon Red and Pokémon Green, took six years to complete and went on to spark a multibillion-dollar franchise which reinvigorated Nintendo's handheld gaming. Tajiri continued to work as director for the Pokémon series until the development of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, when he changed his role to simply executive producer. Tajiri has also worked for other projects including Mario spin-offs. His work has earned him numerous accolades from his peers. more…
