The Pokémon Mansion journals are a series of diary entries written by a Pokémon researcher, chronicling the events that led up to the creation and escape of Mewtwo. They are scattered around the Pokémon Mansion in Cinnabar Island.
In the games
The Pokémon Mansion journals are only available in the Generation I games and Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, as the Pokémon Mansion has been destroyed along with most of Cinnabar Island by a volcanic eruption prior to the events of the Generation II games and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
Journal entries
In the Japanese versions, the texts suggest that only the researcher is involved. In the localizations, the texts refer to a team of researchers.

Diary: September 1 The Pokémon Mewtwo is far too powerful. It's no use… I cannot control it! |
Relation to Faraway Island
It is speculated that the Guyanese jungle where Mew was apparently discovered is actually Faraway Island. In the Japanese version of Pokémon Emerald, the message left on a signpost there contains a remnant of a signature belonging to a name ending in ジ (ji). The researcher who wrote these diary entries is speculated to be Mr. Fuji, who was known as Dr. Fuji back when he lived in Cinnabar Island and founded the Pokémon Lab.
In the anime
In Pokémon Origins
Red found the single Pokémon Mansion journal while visiting the Pokémon Mansion in File 3 - Giovanni, containing all the entries written by the researcher.
The journal was referenced again in File 4 - Charizard, where Red recalled finding out about the creation of Mewtwo from it. After telling Professor Oak about the journal, Red learned that the journal was probably the notes of Dr. Fuji, a former Pokémon expert whose research was dismissed soon after he had found a new species of Pokémon and tried to artificially create a new, powerful Pokémon. Professor Oak also realized that Dr. Fuji was likely the same person as Mr. Fuji.
In the original Japanese version of Origins, the texts remain the same as in the games. In the dub, they were altered, much like in the localizations of the games.
