Now, Ditto are interesting as they only popped up around 20 years ago, and I have been studying them ever since, I was the first person to ever catch and write papers about Ditto when I was a young man! So I have a very personal connection to these adorable blobs.

Anyway, about me! I have a doctorate in Pokemon biology from the Kanto Institute of Pokemon Research, I have worked in this field for many years and I reside in Kanto, the place where Ditto originate! If you come across an interesting Ditto, please let me know!

Anyway, here is my team:

-Dit: A ditto, of course! No abnormalities from other Ditto, but the first Ditto ever caught, pretty cool!

-Mini-Dit: A ditto! This one only transforms into miniature versions of the Pokemon it tries to copy, however

-Shine: A ditto! A shiny, however, with a nice blue hue.

-Derpy: A ditto! who's face never changes, keeping the cute ditto look!

-Skitto: A ditto! who refuses to turn into anything but Skitty. Cute, but generally not very useful.

-Kiddo: A ditto! My baby ditto, only recently hatched.

My nephew has told me to put an image of myself on here so people know what I look like, so I will enclose a recent vacation picture where I am looking my best

Hmm…I’m One. Satoshi helped bring me to life. I shouldn’t have been made

what kind of name is that

is that what the humans have tried to assign to me

that is hilarious and insulting

I thought that might make my research a little less legitimate, I did consider it, though, but one of my friends pointed out that even though it would be funny, it would probably not go over well.

I was, around 25 years ago, involved in a project based on trying to recreate the Mythical Pokémon, Mew. We accidentally created a failed prototype, which is, well, Ditto. We were trying to figure out to revive life, because…we had all lost someone. The idea was…more than appealing. We tried on a few different pokemon, the first starters, one human girl, but none were fruitful until Mewtwo.

Back then I was 20, still in my undergrad, on a summer research project with my uncle. I had little to do with the project, but I also didn’t speak up when I should’ve. While creating life was originally a selfless endeavor, as the project went on, we knew that we were causing harm to Mewtwo, we were aware. And we kept going. The idea of creating life was intoxicating.
