How to Catch Mewtwo in Pokemon Platinum

Mewtwo is a legendary Pokemon found in the Kanto region of the Pokemon world. However, "Pokemon Platinum" takes place in the Shinnoh region. In order to obtain Mewtwo in "Pokemon Platinum," players must catch him in another version of the game and transfer him into "Platinum." The process is time-consuming as it requires players to complete two games in order to get Mewtwo.
