The Pokémon Mansion journals (known in the Japanese fandom as ポケモン屋敷の日記, which literally translates into Pokémon Mansion diaries or Pokémon Mansion journals) are a series of diary entries written by a Pokémon researcher (possibly Mr. Fuji in his youth) chronicling the events that led up to the creation and escape of Mewtwo. They are scattered around the Pokémon Mansion on Cinnabar Island, the only remnants of the research that went into Mewtwo's creation.
The Pokémon Mansion journals are only available in Generation I and FireRed and LeafGreen as, some time in between the story of these games and the story of Generation II and HeartGold and SoulSilver, their respective sequels, the volcano on Cinnabar Island erupted, destroying everything on the island apart from the Pokémon Center.
It is speculated that the jungle in Guyana where Mew was apparently discovered is actually Faraway Island, which appeared exclusively in Emerald as an event location where the player could encounter and catch Mew. Curiously, it has a signpost with a message, possibly left by the same person who wrote the Pokémon Mansion journals. In the original Japanese release of Emerald, it is implied that the person is Mr. Fuji.
Journal entries
The following texts are the journal entries as they are in the games. Interestingly, the texts were altered for the localizations, with instances of the first-person singular personal pronoun I (Japanese: わたし watashi) in the original Japanese texts changed to the first-person plural personal pronoun We. In the February 6th journal entry, the localizations added the pronoun We to the text, whereas the original Japanese text is impersonal. The September 1st journal entry originally describes a more emerging danger and a nervous attitude towards it, whereas the localizations imply that, despite the danger being known, the people involved succumbed to helplessness of doing something about the situation.
