ACCEPTING // @ofcoralbones

Due to his unique, artificial combination of genetic material, Mewtwo is effectively immortal and cannot ‘die’  —  at least not in the typical ways one defines as “death” or “being dead”. Having the DNA of Mew, the ancestor of all Pokémon, is what grants him this ‘pseudo-immunity’. ( He can die ‘mentally’; but his body / genes won’t decay. )

But having that DNA tampered with created conflicts, along with the fact that the remnants of Mew’s genes were not ‘whole’  —  that is, the DNA had ‘missing pieces’ because the source it was extracted from was an eyelash, which was incredibly old. It needed to be filled in with other genetic material.

Many of these conflicts occurred during the trial stages of his cloning process, where the scientists could not find DNA that was compatible with Mew’s. It isn’t known exactly how many ‘failed’ Mewtwos there were before they finally succeeded, but given the complexities of scientific engineering and how long the Mewtwo project took, it’s logical to assume there were a significant amount. The same went for the clones being bred alongside him, those left behind to disintegrate in their tanks while Mewtwo alone survived.

After escaping Giovanni, he returned to the island he was cloned at, and rebuilt it. He went through all of the research and records cataloged over his creation, and perfected the flawed and unfinished work left behind by Dr. Fuji. His own clones were not only healthy and alive, but gifted with power superior to that of the originals.

Unfortunately, the cloning process, even after being perfected by Mewtwo, is NOT capable of granting everlasting life. On top of that, the effects of cloning – like with skin cells, which are constantly creating copies of each other to replace dead cells – causes defects as it continues and time goes on. This is the scientific process we call ‘AGING’; the cells constantly replacing themselves, creating copies of copies of copies, not only transfer the flaws of the original, but compound them and create new ones in the process. Eventually, organs will start to lose effectiveness, and then fail entirely, which causes death.

Mewtwo has perfected the technique so that the disintegration doesn’t happen at an accelerated rate like it did in the tanks, but at some point in the future, his clones will eventually experience the effects of their creation, and like all  ( or most )  living things, perish. Mewtwo’s genes, on the other hand, do not ‘decay’ or experience the copy flaw, and he will have to watch them die while being unable to do anything to stop it.

honestly what i roll w/ is that all animals/pokemon will vary in size. there is an ‘average’, but rarely will they stick perfectly to that. i just assume the pokedex recording is the average, while the anime does whatever the hell it wants.

yeah yeah that’s p much what im going with! i figure parentage has something to do with it as well, with height being positively or negatively affected by that pokemon’s parents. (the difference, say, in an excadrill being bred with a sandshrew compared to a hippowdon)
