In the first Pokemon Movie we see that Mewtwo is actually artificially created
by Team Rocket and not a naturally occurring Pokemon.

According to [this answer](https://anime.stackexchange.com/a/36079/1587) there
are 2 Mewtwo's and the second female one is still possibly artificially
created.

In the trailers for _Detective Pikachu_ (I have not seen the movie yet) we see
Mewtwo appear in it. I am wondering if this Mewtwo is one we already know from
the anime movies? Or are there now possibly 3 Mewtwo's

Is the Mewtwo in Detective Pikachu a Mewtwo we know?


Spoilers ahead.

Haven't watched the movies or anime, but I play the games, and according to
[this article](https://www.gamespot.com/articles/detective-pikachu-has-deep-
ties-to-the-first-pokem/1100-6466825/), this Mewtwo

> _is the same Mewtwo that appeared in the original Pokemon anime and movie
> two decades ago._ The movie referred to here is _Pokémon: The First Movie_.
> This was the Mewtwo from the Kanto region which escaped Team Rocket.
