I legit thought that ditto being failed clones of mew was a canon fact, so I sat here for a solid 5 minutes watching, thinking “doesn’t everyone already know this though?”
Ditto was never implied to be failed clones of Mew simply related to it somehow. For all we know Mew & Mewtwo naturally shed the things from their bodies, which is a rival theory. Even after destroying the place Mewtwo probably still visits the Cinnabar Mansion to make more dittos, which is why an unlimited amount exist there assuming they don't just randomly divide themselves. Ditto Experiment Theory doesn't explain why the Dittos appear in places that have nothing to do with Mewtwo's Creation.
Yeah, I also thought this was just straight up canon, but it’s a fact I would’ve read in maybe like, the Pokédex toy, or a Nintendo of America magazine 25 years ago. Something I know as fact but don’t know where I got that fact…
@@WaterKirby1994 My theory is mytosis, Dittos are as close as "sentient raw genetic material" as it gets (Eevee eat your heart out), with more in common with cells than other animals (Pokemons).

Despite the fact they were literally spoon fed an already made script and universe they tried to make their own with no connection to the original.

Their biggest hits in recent memory were both games that relied on nostalgia and recreating classic games.
I want to point out that Ditto can transform by memory, according to the pokedex, however It manages to get details wrong. With enough training a ditto might be able to transform into anything by memory
@@buttereo6277 Getting that to work though is probably very, very difficult, if not just an inefficient use of time (limit approaches infinity type difficult)-----since as Matpat stated there are not ANY cases where any Ditto----trained or untrained have ever done that in the entire franchise (anime, game, etc)----you'd expect not one, but at least 2-3 of these special Ditto to exist if this was something you could feasibly 'simply train for.'
Didn't you hear? It was mentioned in the movie that that ditto was an experiment. No amount of training will make a ditto copy as well as that experimental ditto. It needs to be created, not taught.
Just so you know, Howard’s “genetic experiments” mean altering the original Pokemon, like the big tree turtles. He altered the dittos memorising abilities so it can avoid the usual problems
EDIT: LIKE THIS SO MATPAT SEES IT! MatPat, I think you are actually wrong in your theory. Not about the relation between these pokemon, but calling Ditto as "A failed Mew Clone". Let me explain: If ditto is supposed to be a FAILED clone of mew, why is there more than one ditto? Think about it. If they see there was a mistake, they would have rearranged some parameters and try again. If it failed again, it would be very weird if the result is again, a ditto. It should be another thing, since parameters would be different. My theory is that ditto is actually a SUCCESSFUL clone. If what the scientists wanted was a strong pokemon... Mew isn't a game changing choice! There are lots of other legendary pokemon that are way stonger that it. But what if the experiment was looking for something that ONLY MEW HAS? That's right, I'm talking about the transform capacity mew has. This would explain the existance of many dittos that don't have a change between them. Maybe the actual failed clone is actually MEWTWO! Yes, I think that because of a mistake in creating dittos, the creation became unstable, thing that made the scientists keep an eye on it more. But you don't see any keeping a eye on your supposed " failed clone" ditto. The investigation and cloning came to an end when mewtwo exited its chaimber: the real FAIL of Mew's clonation. Mewtwo, one of the most beloved pokemon, might actually be an artificial experiment gone WRONG. And your slaved daycare ditto, might actually be the true objective of mew's cloning. BUT HEY, that's just a theory, on a GAME THEORY. Thanks for reading
What would happen if a ditto fought a ditto? Best answer Well, eventually, they would run out of attacks and have to use struggle so the one that starts using struggle 1st would win. Yes it would be kind of funny.
This is a classic theory, Ditto being failed Mew clones, and one I love. It's my personal headcanon. But I think one of the creators of the original games said that it was never an intention, just a lot of coincidences. And while the person who said this was primarily a composer, many of the small team who worked on those first games said that, due to the small team, every member was involved in every part of the game, composers would help out with coding and vice versa, so I think he still would have a lot of knowledge of the lore stuff.

I always considered it canon since I was introduced to Ditto so when this video came out, I was so confused, "Is Ditto being a failed clone not actually canon?". Then I realized that I was way ahead of this video.
I haven't seen the Detective Pikachu film cause I don't care for live action adaptation films. But did know of the Ditto/Mew/Mewtwo connection since first played Yellow/Red/Blue in early 2000s
yea totally, they were doing genetic experiments on other pokemon too like the Torterra so why couldn't they have just also done experiments on dittos too. and why would the experiments on Mewtwo create a super ditto this time rather than just a normal ditto like the ones before? they probably just enhanced a regular ditto like they did with the torterra
@@balamugunthbalaji8110 May be true. Pokédex entries say that there is transformation from memory and they could just enhance it. But the thing is that the anime is not the canon, we just haven't seen it transforming using memory in games (I do not recall any trainer having Ditto, wild Ditto just doesn't seem like he has enough desire to win this battle to think of some other pokémon that may be useful against trainer's one and maybe in-game trainer just haven't trained his Ditto to be reliable enough when transforming from memory and therefore there is no such option). It would be really nice to have that option in newer games, maybe make it canonical, like train memory with Ditto and after he reaches certain level in memory training, he would remember, for example, 1 pokémon he transformed into and with every memory training level, he would remember one more or something similar. How exactly could every experiment to make a Mewtwo end up with this same Ditto? If there were many experiments, every one of them may have ended up in Ditto (some ustable genes in a shapeless form), but every Ditto may be unique in his own way and this "super Ditto" may be just some classic Ditto that was made in later stages of Mew cloning, so he has better memory than any "older Ditto", but still genetically unstable (so in a form of Ditto). Or his memory has been trained for 20 years (trained pokémon are stronger than wild ones), all it takes really is just to play some games with him every day and then try if his transformation from memory got any better. There has to be a way how that details-wrong-when-transformating-from-memory thing got in pokédex entries in the first place.
Pokémon Go also had a say in this when mew came out. One of the challenges before catching mew were to catch a bunch of Ditto because of their incredibly similar feature of shapeshifting. Seems like the professors know something we don’t.
SPOILER ALERT!!!!! Are we not going to talk about how serum R is made out of Mewtwo dna, and when that ditto was sprayed with it, instead of getting enraged, dissolved like it genetics were overloaded?
Pokemon get confused and enraged with the r serum. Ditto needs to concentrate to transform, so I assumed it just couldn't concentrate and slumped over.
That could also be a result of Dittos needing concentration to maintain their altered form. If it can't focus, it can't alter its structure enough to move or attack, maybe.
@@thajratasupanan6175 In our world. But he is in a world were kids wonder around alone. We know they they know that we know what happening in those woods.
I have a weird question: can Ditto transform into legendary Pokemon, like Arceus, or Mew? If so, then we have yet another piece of confirmation that Ditto is a weaker Mew...

The first ditto in the anime transformed into a cannon Edit: also the beady eyes kept after transforming was unique to Duplica’s ditto so the ditto in DP is weird
My first thought when i started watching this was that maybe ditto wasn't a product of experimentation but what they were experimenting on. Maybe ditto already existed and they were trying to use it's genes to help create Mewtwo .
Game Insane That said Ditto was having problems with its transforming, though. The problem about the transformation was that it’s face stayed the same after the transformation.

If there were many experiments, every one of them may have ended up in Ditto (some ustable genes in a shapeless form), but every Ditto may be unique in his own way and this "super Ditto" may be just some classic Ditto that was made in later stages of Mew cloning, so he has better memory than any "older Ditto", but still genetically unstable (so in a form of Ditto). Or his memory has been trained for 20 years (trained pokémon are stronger than wild ones), all it takes really is just to play some games with him every day and then try if his transformation from memory got any better.
There has to be a way how that details-wrong-when-transformating-from-memory thing got in pokédex entries in the first place.

Ditto five, anyone?
Pokémon Go also had a say in this when mew came out. One of the challenges before catching mew were to catch a bunch of Ditto because of their incredibly similar feature of shapeshifting. Seems like the professors know something we don’t.

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!
Are we not going to talk about how serum R is made out of Mewtwo dna, and when that ditto was sprayed with it, instead of getting enraged, dissolved like it genetics were overloaded?
Oh fuck.
Shit. Matpat missed this one.
Pokemon get confused and enraged with the r serum. Ditto needs to concentrate to transform, so I assumed it just couldn't concentrate and slumped over.
That could also be a result of Dittos needing concentration to maintain their altered form. If it can't focus, it can't alter its structure enough to move or attack, maybe.

I'm pretty sure they can transform into anything, even into mew
Yes they can
@RooByrne i think he means that this make it more clear that ditto is indeed a attempt of making a mew
@RooByrne at least in the games when transformed it will copy all stats except HP, and with a very low base 48 HP stats it will have less HP than just about every legendary

Next Theory?
Did Professor Oak gave Ash a Pikachu on purpose?
Or
Where are the fathers of all Pokémon protagonists, including Ash's?
The former already has an answer-yes. Remember, in the 4th Pokemon movie a young Samuel Oak time travels to meet Ash, so he has to give him a Pikachu to prevent a paradox
That last one needs to be answered legit
Y'know there are two AUs of pokemon where one has a war and the other didn't.
There is a theory that there was a war which parallels the real life situation of wars where most men (including fathers) left to go to war. Most never came back and some are just survivors.
Thats one of the biggest theories of pokemon to why we never see their dads, their dads could be dead due to the war

For clarity there is a theory that dittos are failed clones of Mew. Evrything in this movie point more toward it being shapeshifter, so I'm not sure if that prove anything? As Mew transformation is based on fact that he is literally first pokemon and as such he has DNA of them all (including Arceus..eghm).

It makes sense that it was a super Ditto. They developed a super Torterra and Greninja in the same lab after all. Fridge Brilliance at its finest! hahaha
The first ditto in the anime transformed into a cannon
Edit: also the beady eyes kept after transforming was unique to Duplica’s ditto so the ditto in DP is weird
"If it tries to transform into another Pokemon from memory it gets details wrong"
Details like the eyes maybe?
@Trllolol Lol actually, the eyes are still beady, even while fighting his friend in the movie. So that's always been a staple since the game.
The beady eyes started with Duplica's Ditto, but since has become a trait of them all
My first thought when i started watching this was that maybe ditto wasn't a product of experimentation but what they were experimenting on. Maybe ditto already existed and they were trying to use it's genes to help create Mewtwo .
matpat makes a theory about detective pikachu.
matpat: detective pikachu is ashes pikachu!
confirmed wrong
matpat: well, lets make another one!
Thank you
Ryan Reynolds is Ash confirmed
If at first you don't succeed make another fnaf video
Normal dittos get details wrong when relying on memory.
Movie ditto mimics every pokemon and person perfectly BESIDES THE FACE!!
Just saying...
in the anime it does the same thing.. it tries to copy misty and Brock and the face was wrong..
Turn into the Dratini as shown in the book
*instructions not clear, became BOOK*
That's how Ditto works
Game Insane That said Ditto was having problems with its transforming, though. The problem about the transformation was that it’s face stayed the same after the transformation.
@@artsene4907 look at all the other dittos in the anime it's the same thing
@Crystal Kanashii meaning it's probably a regular ditto and not some special ditto as matpat has said. At least tgat was what I was trying to say.
