As mentioned in the article, the "single universal ancestor" concept is fairly well-accepted in scientific circles today. But perhaps in the Pokemon universe, pokemon are actually part of a second, distinct ancestry of life, with Mew being the ancestor for pokemon, but not for other life. After all, there are ordinary plants, and the anime has apparently shown the existence of some non-pokemon animals, not to mention the humans themselves. | As mentioned in the article, the "single universal ancestor" concept is fairly well-accepted in scientific circles today.

If we assume this, and also assume that the first Mew came to exist relatively recently (compared with that of non-Pokemon), it would make sense for the variety of genes to be relatively limited, and thus it is plausible that Mew began with the genes that all other pokemon share, with variations being predominantly due to active vs inactive genes, along with mutations that occurred due to various effects (such as the impact of the various evolutionary stones). As others have pointed out, pokemon are basically a single species, based on breeding patterns - it seems that the only thing keeping most pokemon from breeding is willingness to actually copulate with those of various other species, or perhaps physiological incompatibility. That two seemingly-unrelated pokemon can breed, and the result looks like the mother specifically, suggests that most pokemon share near-identical genomes.

:I was just thinking about plants. but i think humans were also descended from mew. Even if Mew Contains the DNA for all other 602 Pokemon, except for legendary (Including Mewtwo, its DNA structure was in the hands of humans, until new island burned and it was lost forever), Then also it cant be that plants were made by mew. it just cant be! All in another, Arceus Created Mew and Slept Forever. The Legendaries went to do things at their own while mew Increased their numbers, until their numbers went down.--[[User:Ash's Infernape|<span style="color:gold">Ash's</span>]] [[User_talk:Ash's Infernape|<span style="color:silver">Infernape</span>]] 07:36, 11 October 2010 (UTC) | |||
