Back in 2000 I was a Pokémon freak. I made up a lot of my own Pokémon. This was one of them, who became one of my favourite characters then. He was even published in the October 2000 issue of Pojo's Unofficial Pokémon, back then, the most informative magazine on Pokémon in the UK. Basically because they managed to import stuff from Japan so were with the latest news way before it came out. This particular edition had a walkthru for Gold and Silver before they had even been translated and released officially. Anyway, I sent two pictures off to Pojo's. Neither were published so a few months later I sent Mewtrorr and he got in. The page of pictures were for readers made up Pokémon. You can see my scans here [link]
I was only 16 at the time! I'd just left school and was in my first year of 6th form. So some of my mates may remember Mewtrorr. I remember I drew a rather rude picture of him once that some of them saw. Maybe the disturbingness is implanted into their brains....or maybe not. Hopefully not. I don't even know where that particular picture is. Also some of my friends who knew me when I was on Side 7 may remember an animation I made of him walking. It was a badly done two frame job.

Anywho, I've gotten older, better at drawing and thought I'd sit down and have a go at drawing him again. I had to erase the head twice before I got the eyes right. I just don't draw the same way I used to. I actually drew a "Back In Blue" picture of him last year or the year before but I was never happy with it and planned a redraw. I think I can draw his legs better now. You'll see if you look at the old pic and compare them. He was a Fire/Psychic Pokémon and had some evolutions, Mewtrorr being the second one. I won't bore you with the details of those. The neat thing I made about him was if a Water Pokémon put out his fire with a water attack, it would turn into acid. That would really burn!

So here he is, nearly 6 years later. Older than Meo and Spyke and even Silvolf. Older even than my oldest Mewtwo Pokémon, Néo. I don't really refer to him as a Pokémon any more, he's just some sort of fantasy creature that can levitate and breathe evil fire.

Yay for old characters!
