Pokemon X and Y might be four months old at this point, but no matter how old it gets, we at GamesRadar will still be fascinated by these creatures we call Pokemon. That's why we're continuing to investigate their many mysteries in this weekly video series! This episode of Pokemon Weekly finds a curious connection between one of the first legendaries, Mew, and the primordial sludge that is Ditto. A surprising amount of data points to Ditto being a failed clone of Mew; you know, like Mewtwo, but with drippier arms. See the evidence for yourself in our tell-all video below, and then feel free to move on to our Pokemon X and Y review, complete Pokedex, and guides to Mega Stone locations and Pokemon-amie, along with subscribing to our YouTube channel so you don't miss another episode.

Pokemon Weekly is GamesRadar's weekly Pokemon X and Y show. The title was a pretty obvious hint. Come back every Tuesday for the latest news, analysis, and speculation about the next generation of Pocket Monsters. You can also check out our Pokemon X and Y review.
