Sugimori stated Rhydon was the first Pokémon he designed, followed by Clefairy and Lapras, and work appeared to have started in the fall of 1990: http://www.unseen64.net/2009/02/04/pokem...blue-beta/
Well, i think mew was intendet to be a pokemon, but not in 1990 i guess.
Rhydon was the first pokemon ever created, yes but it doesnt mean, that it was the first pokemon trademarked.
As i said, mew was trademarked 1990, way before pokemon was ever mentioned but also mew wasnt intended to be in the actual game.
You can read it here:

As far as i can find stuff on the internet about all that mew stuff is, that it was trademarked May 9, 1990.
But in that state, Mew wasnt what it is now.
Mew was a "last minute" "project", mew was programmed in the game two weeks before the game was finished.
Not many people who worked on pokemon knew about mew.
May 9, 1990, at the time Mew was known as "
ミュー" not "
ミュウ".
"
ミュウ" was subbmitted for trademark June 17 1997
So... That reminds me of something:
Mew is Ditto or Ditto is a failed clone from Mew.
Well to be honest, some points are "possible"
They weight the same... ok.
Same stats.. ok.
Colors.. Well Ditto is Purple and Mew is pink.
In the DYKG post it says "they are commonly found in the same cave as mewtwo"
I dont know about you, but only Ditto appears in the cave, not mew.
also ditto appears in other routes too, way outside the cave or the cinnaber island.
They both learn Transform.
Yes, they do but why cant mewtwo learn it?
Doesnt make sense, when mewtwo is a clone too.
And when mewtwo is a clone, why is it so different from mew or ditto?
i doubt this theory pretty much, i heard of it way before it got here, but never really belived it.
i read much about that theory and there are some facts, that tells a different story..
Similar stats and weight can easily be attributed to the same food supply or environment.
Victini has the same height and weight as Mew also.
Jiranchi, while now the same size, weight or similar moves, is Blue and becomes pink when shiny so it has reverse color pallet.
The theory that Ditto is man-made is... well weird too, i mean look at Magnemite, magneton, koffing or weezing.. they look man-made too, but they arent.
So why cant just a blob exist without thinking, that its a failed clone
MAYBE im thinking too deep into this, but i really, really doubt this theory and i think, we have to re-discuss this again...
