New Mewtwo-related Pokémon revealed

Hey guys, once more Pokemon.com has revealed a new Pokémon. This time, it's a Pokémon that's likely related to Mewtwo, as hinted on the site several times. But they also say "but not quite the same". In what aspect would they be different?
Could it be an in-between of Mewtwo and Mew? Its smaller posture suggests it's weaker (attack-wise).

In the trailer you can see the new Pokémon using several moves like Psyshock/Psystrike (the latter is Mewtwo's signature move), Energy Ball, Shadow Ball, Blizzard, Psycho Cut and Focus Blast. This may be a hint that these moves may return as TMs.

Any further details (name, height, weight) are yet to be revealed.

Hmm! Looks okey. But I think they could have done better. I hate what they did with his feet though. Why does it have testicle-shaped toes?

I like it. I never liked Mewtwo's design anyway. It's too fugly.

Well, he wasn't supposed to be cute, y'know!

I dunno where they're going with this new design. Can't say much without knowing more about it, but it looks like it can learn many different moves. Perhaps it can learn all TM moves like Mew.

I like Mewtwo's design myself. I was always a fan of it since the first generation. As for this Pokemon, it's pretty interesting, if I could say so myself. I wonder if it really will have something to do with Mewtwo.

I'll quote Pokémon.com:
"Could it be connected to the Legendary Mewtwo?"
"It looks a lot like the powerful Legendary Pokémon Mewtwo, but not quite the same…"
"This new Pokémon shares many traits with Mewtwo, including a light-purple body and piercing, powerful eyes."
"It is suspected that the newly discovered Pokémon has some sort of connection with the Legendary Mewtwo - a powerful Pokémon that first appeared in Pokémon Red and Blue versions."

Well they are making it pretty darn obvious.

True that. You know, this reminds me of when Alomomola was first revealed. A lot of fans thought it would be a Luvdisc evolution, but that ended up not being the case. You're right that Nintendo is making this connection quite obvious, though, so there's a good chance it will be related to Mewtwo.

About time they started showing Mewtwo some love again. He's been completely ignored since the early 2000's, and I like that they are adding an evolutionary line (or a close relative) to Mewtwo.

Not to mention that this guy would make a great character in SBB4.
