About

Mewthree is a Fakemon described as the successor of Mewtwo. The idea of Mewthree has been around since before the release of the second generation of Pokémon games, but became remained as part of the fandom throughout it's life.

Origin

The first known usage appears to be as a pseudonym used by someone discussing strategy for the Pokemon TCG^[1] (below) on July 3rd, 1999. However, it is unknown if this is the first usage.

Mewthree's Rebuttal on Venusaur 7/3/99 I Think that Venusaur does have a very handy Pokemon Power that is second best to one, Blastiose's rain dance. I'm not try ying to diss the previous strategy regarding how godly Venusaur is, I'm just trying to show the world my point of view regarding on what card I think is the best. In my opinion, Blastiose is the most powerful Pokemon in the TCG world. The Venusaur's strategy talks about how Venusaur could power up Chai serviceable. In order to get Charizard into play you have to evolve Charmandar into Charmeleon and then evolve Charmeleon again. During those two stages, the char species will have to fight with its second best move (Scratch & Slash) until Charizard's energy burn could take place. Venusaur's energy transfer is useful only when there is a lot of Plant energy around but in a deck of Plant/Grass, it is wiser to incorporate more fire energy due to the fact that you have to discard some energy in order to use those efficacious moves. The current deck I'm working on needs4 Blastoises. Like most of the ingenious deck out there, you need to get your most powerful card into play as soon as you can. Thanks to the trainers in my deck (Which I won't reveal at this time) I could get a Blastoise into play on the second round, since you can't evolve in your first turn. This is when Mewthree shine because my Blastoise can start hydro pumping (doing 60 damages for just 3 energy). As far as Venusaur goes, the most he can transfer is two plant energy if he gets into play the same round as Blastoise is but have to wait an extra turn before he can use Solorbeam (require 4 energy cards). I don't know about anybody out there that doesn't get apprehensive when your opponent has a Blastoise into play that can actually attack during his/her second round. As powerful as Venusaur is, he needs 4 rounds before he can attack. -Mewthree

The next earliest known usage (below) was October 30th, 2000, on the Player's Choice Games page for Pokemon Yellow.^[2] It described one of many fake methods to obtain Mewthree, and two other Pokegods.

@FlareDancer: I'd say that it is definitely a meme, albeit an old one that is rarely used anymore. I believe that the subject of MewThree is touched on in the article for Fakemon, though.
