5. In Pokémon, Dittos Are Aborted Mew Clones

Okay, this is more of a fan theory, but it's very hard to deny, given the evidence.

First revealed in the original trilogy of Pokémon games on the Game Boy, Mew is an all-powerful, somewhat mystical Pokémon that ends up with an in-canon clone, Mewtwo - yet the latter is a far more fearsome creature.

However, in the area where you find Mewtwo, there are also scores of globulous creatures named Dittos wandering about - who have the exact same dual colour scheme as Mew; light blue and purple. Not only are they found in the run-up to Mewtwo himself inside the Cerulean Cave, but both monsters weigh the exact same amount in the Pokédex, and both start with the 'Transform' ability.

Lastly, Mewtwo is often referred to as the "Successful" clone of Mew, meaning there must have been a handful of 'rejects', no?
