Mewtwo is not evil, he's just misunderstood. The story was different in the original Japanese version. The scientist who created Mewtwo lost his daughter, Amber. While working on Mewtwo, he was also trying to clone his daughter, and the two grew in neighboring tanks. They were able to subconsciously communicate with each other and Mewtwo grew fond of her. However, science is unable to recreate souls and soon, Amber's artifical soul vanishes. She leaves Mewtwo with the advice that life is wonderful and it's the greatest gift he has. Mewtwo is stricken with immense grief and is left to ponder what Amber told him.

After breaking from his tank, he meets the scientists that have created him. After the brief dialogue, he realizes the scientists don't care about him in the sense as he's a living breathing creature, but merely as a science project. This combined with his grief from the loss of his only friend, he snaps. When Giovanni promised him the ability to focus his powers and the possibility of being partners/friends, he goes with him. But when Giovanni betrays his trust and tells him he's merely a slave, Mewtwo believes that humans see Pokemon only as tools of war. He decides to wipe out humanity and clone their Pokemon in an attempt to make them stronger and "purify" them from the taint of human companionship.

At the end, when Ash sacrificed himself for the Pokemon (or stupidly ran into the middle of two psychic attacks for no good reason), and sees the reaction of all the Pokemon, including his cloned Pokemon, and sees Ash resurrected from their tears, he realizes that the circumstances of ones birth are irrelevant and should not divide us from companionship. Mewtwo, a Pokemon, was created by humans, and Ash, a human, was reborn from Pokemon. He finally realizes that is it possible to co-exist and sets out to ponder and discover the true meaning of the gift of life.
