Don't you just need 2 copies? One to hold the Mewtwos and another to keep doing new games?
Don't even need a new game. You could clone pokemon by turning the game off mid-trade. My school had a kid that got a Mew from an event, then cloned it for everyone who wanted one.

It became possible in GSC to clone with a single cart. Switch boxes and time a restart correctly during the save and bingo bango, you have a cloned pokemon with whatever item it was holding.
This was awesome for getting extra Master Balls and Rare Candies.
When I was like 12 I caught a ditto in the Mewtwo cave and use it to lower the Mewtwo's health. Except it turns out the main attack of Mewtwo can one shot the Mewtwo and I hadn't saved in forever. I was so devastated.
You could do it with one copy probably. But this was pre-internet so harder to know about the glitches and such.
I think many people figured out the Missingno shoreline kept some form of "last encounter table" in it, so I wouldn't be surprised some people may have tried to go there right after Mewtwo to chance themselves at more.
Unfortunately we do have that info nowadays, and we know that doesn't work.
The internet 100% existed in 1999 lol
this was basically me for a while, had a team that was all deoxys forms named after 4 of the spice girls + two Arceus named after the last spice girl and Barack Obama
Which spice girl got to be arceus?
Which plate was Barack Obama holding? Come on, be honest now.
This is gangsta shit
Uh yeah they were, Big Daddy was 1999 and all the others were prior to that
That's what I first thought, but the latest one mentioned there is Big Daddy which came out in 1999. Crazy.
First Pokemon movie released in Japan in July 1998, in the US in November 1999.
Pokemon red and blue released in the US in September 1998, yellow in October 1999.
No U.
Pretty sure they meant the Adam Sandler movies, which is also wrong
Mewtwo was still in the games.
The trick was to clone Mewtwo in a later Pokemon game, trade that to a "middle man" Pokemon game that was compatible with Red and Blue, and BOOM all Mewtwo gang!
