Thank you for being the first to submit to this section. About your question. You are obviously just starting out, right? Okay, there are 251 Pokémon in total. Starting with Bulbasaur and going to Cerebii(with Mewtwo at 150)

Question(12/22)
There's only ONE Mew, right? How did it come to exist? I mean, just about every other Pokémon has more than one of it. (except for Mewtwo, i mean)

Wow, we seem to have gotta' a good and well valid question out of Glowstar here. Okay, there is only one Mew in present day. This has not always been so, however. In Mewtwo Stikes Back, a fossil thought to be the ear of a Mew is used to extract DNA from. Since Mew doesn't go around losing ears, this clearly points out that at one point there was more than one Mew. Since then, Mew have become exsincted except for the one remaining. How is a very good question. It could be a simple matter of Mew being so powerful that only afew can exist at one time and somehow they died off due to non-breeding. Mewtwo is a completely different story. 'Two' was cloned so he technically has no parents and there can and will only be one. One more note. In the games GOLD and SILVER, you can breed pokémon but there is no way to get a Mew egg. That is partially because you can not catch Mew. Now, the fact that Mew can not come from an egg is strictly a game thing, not in the logic of the anime. No, Mew is not imortal like suggested.
