This professionally framed display pairs a hand-signed autograph from Jay Goede — the original English voice of Mewtwo in \u003cem\u003ePokémon: The First Movie\u003c\/em\u003e — with an original 1999 Pokémon trading card. The autograph has been authenticated by Beckett and inlcudes a digital Certificate of Authenticity.

When he was hired to voice Mewtwo in 1999, the role was non-union — meaning he could not use his real name as a Screen Actors Guild member. He created the pseudonym \"Philip Bartlett\" from his middle name and the street he grew up on, and that is the name that appeared in the film's credits. For years, Pokémon fans had no idea who the original Mewtwo actually was. It wasn't until dedicated fans noticed his real name credited in the \u003cem\u003ePokémon Live!\u003c\/em\u003e stage musical program that they began connecting the dots — eventually tracking him down on Facebook to confirm that the voice of Mewtwo was very much alive. The story of his discovery by the Pokémon community is one of the most remarkable fan detective stories in pop culture history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- The recording callout box --\u003e\n  \u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #fffbf0; border-left: 4px solid #c8940a; padding: 16px 20px; margin: 20px 0; border-radius: 0 6px 6px 0;\"\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: 700; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0.06em; color: #7a5800; margin: 0 0 8px;\"\u003eOne weekend, one performance, one generation\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.7; color: #1a1a1a; margin: 0;\"\u003eJay Goede landed the role of Mewtwo on a Friday. He recorded every single line of dialogue for the entire film the following Monday. In a single session, he delivered the performance that would go on to move millions of children to tears, and lines that would be quoted by fans for decades — including the iconic: \u003cem\u003e\"I see now that the circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant. It is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are.\"\u003c\/em\u003e Goede has since said he had no idea at the time how deeply the character would resonate — he later described it as \"an amazing gift\" to have been part of something that meant so much to so many people.
