Mew is the progenitor. He shares DNA (not to be confused with Deoxys, the actual DNA pokemon) with all pokemon, since they come from Mew.

Essentially, Mew is the "Root" of the Pokemon evolution (in the scientific sense) tree. Arceus directly created Mew, and it is implied that the rest descend from Mew.

How the fuck Gamefreak passed this contradiction, I don't know. But that's as close as I can understand.
