In ''Pokémon Red'' and ''Blue'', the player learns of Mewtwo's existence by reading research notes left in the ruined Pokémon Mansion on Cinnabar Island. The notes say that a scientist{{ref|a}} discovered a new Pokémon in a [[Guyana]] jungle, that they named it Mew, and that it later gave birth to a creature they called Mewtwo; the game's Pokédex entry states that Mewtwo was "created by a scientist after years of horrific gene splicing and DNA engineering experiments".<ref name="trophy1">{{cite video game |title=[[Super Smash Bros.
