Pokemon mew and RK9, rivals?

[Heavenly Spoon]

I'm not 100% sure, let's say 95%
Arcanine is mew's original counterpart, it was the 14th pokémon created on green and mew was 15th, 1 number in between. While mewtwo is 83 and growlithe is 33.
(BTW, I know this because of the hex list, this is numbered according to creation time)

other things that let this seem suspicious:
Arcanine is a legendary Pokémon (see Pokédex)
it's name doesn't look a bit like growlithe, and that's strange in the 1st gen
the original idea seems to be cat vs dog
arcanine was among the 4 legendary Pokémon on the wall in the viridian city pokémon center on the anime.

they just made growlithe to let RK9 be evolved (don't know why), and so mew was all alone, so they made mew2 his new counterpart (do know that the original mew looks a lot more like mew2)

man, I know to much about mew
If anyone knows any more fact, reason why this is true(or not) or has something to say about this, reply

i dont really get what you typed, what do u mean by "rivals"?

 

[Heavenly Spoon]

they where originally created as "rivals", cats vs dogs

 

[don()shinobi]

Nice find! I never knew that!

 

[Water Pokémon Master]

Do you have a list of the hex numbers?

Also, Chimecho is last on R/S, so maybe it was intended to be a legendary as well.

 

[Heavenly Spoon]

always taught chimecho looked legendary, one of the reasons, why it's one of my favorite Pokémon
and I found the hex list on some site, just remembered mew, and I searched the net for the others.

 

[bass_forte]

I get the feeling Chime was just supposed to be secret/uber rare, but legendary? Doesn't look it....

Mew and Arcanine are not rivals. Mew and Mewtwo are.

 

[Heavenly Spoon]

they where supposed to be, but Nintendo changed that later on, read.

yeah and you know that episode when ash catches his crabby? there's a tower, it thing it was bill's ,he was dressed as kabutops..anyways, on the tower were standing : Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres and Arcanine..
So maybe they were ment to be legendary together..?

 

[Heavenly Spoon]

and also in the veridian city pokémon center, one of the first episodes, there was a wall with RK9, artic1, zap2 and mol3 (short for artic"uno",zap"dos" and mol"tres")

[Heavenly Spoon]

oops, well, i already said that, that was originally build in the game, but they forgot to change it.

 

[Arcanine 274]

I knew it! Arcanine is a legendary, the Pokedex should never lie!!!!!  watch out for the new legendary in town boys, (and gals) watch out! Go Arcanine!

Arcanine out.

 

[Heavenly Spoon]

hope this doesn't make us enemies, Arcanine 274

 

[Arcanine 274]

Nah i thought we already were. anyway it won't but it's just nice for Arcy to be acknowledged as a LEGENDARY, for too long has it blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, you get the point.

Arcanine out.

 

[nigafiga]

And what is now with chimecho?
Has team rocket a legendary?

 

[Heavenly Spoon]

no, it was planned to be a legendary (that is if we have to believe WPM, cause I don't have a r/s hex list)
