Guyana is shown, though not named, in various anime depicting Mew and the origins of Mewtwo.

At the beginning of The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin (a short included at the start of the Japanese extended version of Mewtwo Strikes Back), a Team Rocket expedition team led by Dr. Fuji searched a jungle in Guyana for Mew. The expedition found a fossil of Mew's eyelash, from which they cloned Mewtwo. The first two minutes of this short, set in Guyana, were added to the beginning of the movie in the international extended version.

Meanwhile, Mew observed them from the jungle while frolicking with other Guyanese Pokémon. From ruins in the jungle that featured a wall carving of Mew, Dr. Fuji's team excavated a fossil from Mew's body—from which they later cloned Mewtwo.
