The Pokemon Iceberg Explained

howdy this is the pokemon iceberg brought to you by clean casual pokemon is the highest grossing franchise at a whopping estimated 100 billion plus that encompasses video games clothing media television movies literature and whatever pokemon smile is supposed to be and those 1999 mcdonald's and burger king toys as the franchise celebrates its 25th anniversary decades of theories controversies and evidence continues to entwine itself with the name pokemon this iceberg is drawn from shocking psychic on reddit various topics have been combined for continuity some additional points have been added the sky one pokemon is short for pocket monsters pokemon is the shortened version of its original japanese name pocket monsters in part using this moniker as capsule monsters was already trademarked perhaps the term monster does not have the same negative connotation in the pokemon world although pokemon are unanimously respected for their destructive capabilities from everyone and their brother telling you you need a pokemon because it's dangerous to go into the tall grass and not allowing you to freely walk from one town and a scenic path to another shows that perhaps the pokemon world isn't as safe and child friendly as most think two do animals exist in the pokemon world most notably apparent in the gen 1 anime and later in some pokedex entries is the existence of non-pokemon creatures in the pokemon world the implications of which further tie the pokemon world to ours 1. in generation 1 once aboard the ssan a chef mentions some meals being made such as salmon do salad eels oh barbecue and prime bee steak my apologies for the butchering of those phrases two multiple pokedex entries mention real world animals raichu's fire red pokedex entry reads its electric charges can reach even a hundred thousand volts careless contact can cause even an indian elephant to faint like a tongue's leaf green pokedex interreaves its tongue can be extended like chameleons it leaves a tingling sensation when it licks enemies pikachu and raichu are also known as the mouse pokemon growleth is known as the puppy pokemon piplup is known as the penguin pokemon etc three in the anime a few minor moments are a at cerulean city gym non-pokemon fish are seen swimming in the tanks and b on route 1 when a pidgey eats a literal worm 4. in the anime episode the ghost of maiden's peak a mongoose appears drawn in the pokemon style of course while we know pokemon eat other pokemon as mentioned by people and pokemon entries and people also eat pokemon such as the slow poketail delicacy from generation 2. it is clear that non-pokemon animals are similarly on the menu 3. butterfree and venomoth lines are swapped the titular gen 1 bug type encounter caterpie and by extension butterfree are most likely the first fully evolved pokemon a trainer gets in the anime the journey of ash's weak caterpie to metapod that goes through a never-ending cold war-esque duel of harden to its emotional evolution and goodbye as it became the first of several pokemon that ash releases over the course of his journey what if instead of the soft round contours and appealing aesthetic of a cute butterfly ash's metapod has emerged as a venomoth it almost happened upon comparison the pre-evolutions of both butterfree and venomoth tend to visually favor the others in several key areas venonat venomoth's pre-evolution features the same red compound eyes and antenna shape as butterfree the exact same although colored differently mouth and mandibles the same hand proportions similarly rounded feet and they both sport the same rich purple color caterpie and metapod both maintain a similar eye composition sporting a rounded black dot in the middle for a people that translates to venomoths and they both feature a slowly growing crest or crown perhaps the switch between venomoth and butterfree was made later in development as kids internationally may identify with and connect more to a butterfly than a homely moth 4. salamance and flygon names are swapped in english version generation 3's helen region saw quite a few new dragon types introduced two of the most notable being salamence and flygon due to a localization error the names of the two are swapped while flygon's evolutionary naming conventions are not as overtly obvious trafinch vibrava flygon salamances are bagon shellgon salamance note the pattern that is broken from the first two evolutions the gone portion not unlike the eevee evolutions all featuring eon the correct ordering should follow bagon shelgon flygon 5. arbok and ekans backwards while the names of some pokemon may seem like a light pun or drawn inspiration from our world arbok and ekans come across as blatant acknowledgments of their real world counterparts arbok backwards is cobra and ekkan's backward is snake perhaps hinting at the past or current existence of non-pokemon in this world 6. pokemon go harassment as the worldwide phenomenon of pokemon go began to hit its stride so too did claims of harassment trespassing and dangerous behavior from people trespassing in restricted areas labeled by the apps code as pokestops gyms or the like people have been clueless in their pokestop pursuits hitting up poke stops while driving recklessly and staring at their phone or walking off a cliff while their eyes are glued to their phone screens there has been a marked increase of negative press for the overnight hit a growing trend emerged wherein people would harass others at known poke stops and gym locations a rival team member trying to take over your gym was the most innocuous however men and women seeking to harass assault or steal from unsuspecting pokemon goers began to rise in one instance a police report was filed in omaha nebraska with the turf war escalating to social media and texting with threats and quote racial slurs end quote being used 7. porygon seizures banned for a number of years from appearing in the anime porygon's ill-fated reputation began in the japanese debut of the 38th episode of the anime's first season dubbed dino senshi porygon the episode saw many often intense and bright flashes of light from pikachu's attacks as ash porygon and company are transported into cyberspace the bright strobing colors led to a reported swath of seizures and children across the country in total the japanese fire defense agency reported that at least 685 viewers had to be admitted to the hospital after issuing an apology and pulling the episode porygon taking the brunt of the blame as the scapegoat instead of pikachu whose lightning attacks fundamentally contributed to the seizures wouldn't see another anime debut for over a decade 8. banned and unaired episodes in addition to the infamous porygon episode quite a few episodes never made it to air in japan including a few additional episodes that were specifically banned in the united states unaired in japan number one the 1997 holiday themed episodes holiday hijinks and snow way out were taken out of the rotation reportedly due to the vitriol received from episode 38's depiction of the pokemon jinx which features heavily in said episodes the reason for the controversy stems from jinx's apparent quote black face and caricature of a pitch-black face large lips blonde hair and kissing or sexual dress and behavior and subsequent anime appearances and video game adaptations jinx's color was changed from black to purple 2. from pokemon the series ruby and sapphire's 101st episode its use of the powerful pokemon move earthquake and the subsequent destruction resulting from it was deemed insensitive at the time due to its potentially triggering impacts as japan had been rocked by powerful earthquakes less than a month before the episode's air date in 2004. three from pokemon the series black and white the two-part story of episodes 23 and 24 were similarly pulled from the air and or postponed indefinitely due to both the tsunami and the fukushima daiichi nuclear disaster in episode 24 meteonite became unstable and released blasts of energy and became a threat so large that it could have destroyed castelia city echoing some of the similar destruction the country was then seeing mentions of both episodes content was removed for continuity reasons now banned in america one free and the beach from the anime's first season was originally dubbed not shown but then was allowed to run twice in 2000 therein during a beach swimsuit contest james wore a realistic female bodysuit with large inflatable breasts while misty laments the small size of her own and an older man makes lewd comments toward her suggesting that he looked forward to her in a few years in the fun they could have 2. the 35th episode of the first season was not aired anywhere outside of asia handguns are used throughout with the warden the safari zone pointing one at ash team rocket holding the warden hostage and pointing a gun at him etc 3. the ice cave was also banned and received vitriol like holiday hijinks due to the pokemon jinx's depiction 4. pokemon the series sun and moon episode 64 was banned due to ash dawning dark face paint deemed reminiscent of blackface as he donned the paint and an outfit imitating the lemur-esque pokemon passimian 9. lavender town syndrome the lavender town syndrome was rumored to afflict japanese children that entered lavender town and listened to its music in generation 1. the music is known for being calming yet dreary with a unique high-pitched and jarring concordance throughout creating a pervading sense of uneasiness it is also referred to as quote chiptune background music end quote started as a creepypasta that claimed that upon hearing the music young japanese children's ears and noses began to bleed spawned erratic and rage-filled behavior and led many to suicide the creepypasta also claimed that such occurrences were covered up by nintendo so as not to damage the brand and the music was subtly changed before its overseas distribution and the music was indeed changed and for subsequent iterations and no reason has ever been given 10. blues eradicate in the generation 1 games and remakes your main rival gary or blues ratita and then raticate is a staple of his team that is however until its final battle on the ssn upon boarding the ssan and making your way to the captain blue challenges the player to a duel wherein raticate makes its final appearance and upon his defeat he leaves the ship the next time blue is seen he is in lavender town pokemon cemetery tower where he questions the player character's reason for being there as his pokemon aren't dead he then challenges the player character to a duel and his raticate is notably absent in fact his raticate never appears in the game either in the rematch battles or the champion battle so where was it the theory goes that blues eradicate sustained significant injuries during its match with the player character on the ss anne and unable to get to a pokemon center quickly from the ship succumb to its injuries the tip 11. marowak in the generation 1 games players progress is halted by an unseen ghost-like cloud in labrador towns pokemon tower upon further inspection of the town and speaking with its denizens you learn that marowak a certain cubone's mother was killed by team rocket and its restless spirit has not been put to rest after infiltrating one of team rocket's hideouts saving cubone and acquiring the silth scope which allows the wearer to see the true form of ghosts cubone's mother's ghostly form materializes upon a re-adventure to the tower once defeated it calms its spirit then departs to the afterlife 12. for it is big pokemon sizes are garbage route 1 pokemon the wrote it esque pokemon with generally unassuming stats that are traded out for a newer more versatile team member all small except of course for it this generation 2 beginner pokemon is the evolution of sentret an almost raccoon-like pokemon that comes in at an expected 2 foot 7 inches a big raccoon for it however comes in at 5 foot and 11 inches a full four inches longer than the fire breathing charizard who only comes in at a measly five foot seven inches shorter than most adults many pokemon have a wide variance and sizes perhaps deviating from the standard pokedex entries for example take charizard's five foot seven inches entry which seems to hold true when compared to ten-year-old ash ketchum in the anime however the charizard's located in the charismatic valley seem to dwarf ash's charizard the pokedex never mentions any variants in size and say for a few mentions of the pokemon games that ask you to catch a big fish like magikarp that's a certain weight or size they're seldom mentioned thus the pokedex sizes of pokemon are often incorrect or incomplete 13. pokeris upon one of your pokemon contracting pokeris a pokemon virus a purple marker appears in their summary and upon your first trip to the pokemon center nurse joy notifies you of its presence noting it will not harm your pokemon it is infectious and it is highly rare and is also known to boost the stats or growth of a pokemon while the purple icon for pokeress is active it can be spread to other pokemon and eggs and your party adjacent to the infected pokemon through contact or use such as battle once the icon becomes grayed out the pokemon still carries the virus and its effects but it is no longer infectious after a few days time it loses this infectiousness however placing a live infected pokemon in the pc will lengthen the virus's infectious potential the benefits of pokey risk are highly sought after as it doubles the evs or effort values pokemon gain in battle and by leveling allowing pokemon to get stronger faster even more rare than the original shiny pokemon pokevis has an approximate 1 in 21 845 chance of occurring on a player's pokemon after a battle in the anime the episode oak napped revealed that pokerus is not a naturally occurring virus but is in fact a secret man-made creation that aimed to evolve pokemon at a quicker rate 14. mimiku's true form a 7th generation pokemon introduced in alola mimikyu is a dual-type ghost and fairy pokemon that dawns a ragged garb resembling a pikachu hiding its true form hoping to be as loved as the titular electric mouse mimikyu's pokemon shield pokedex entry reads there was a scientist who peeked under mimiku's old rag in the name of research the scientist died of a mysterious disease mimicku's pokemon sun disguised form pokedex entry reads its actual appearance is unknown a scholar who saw what was under its rag was overwhelmed by terror and died from the shock mimikyu's ultra-sun disguised form pokedex entry reads although it's a quiet lonely pokemon if you try to look at what's under its rag it will become agitated and resist violently mimikyu's pokemon ultra moon disguise form pokedex entry reads a gust of wind revealed what hides under this pokemon's rag to a passing trainer who went home and died painfully that very night in the sun and moon anime meowth gets a peek of what lies under mimicku's rags and nearly dies before being resuscitated by jesse and james from his near-death experience mimikyu's natural visage is so unspeakable so lovecraftian horror and or it hexes those that see its true form so that they die most painfully its true form has never been shared by the few that saw but died before they could share 15. entei raiku and suicune true forms in generation two's johto region ecrutique city features the burn tower along with a story of its destruction a stray lightning bolt set alight the western tower wherein three unnamed pokemon perished in the flames but with a legendary pokemon ho-oh's intervention resurrected as a legendary dog trio entei raiku and suicune however the people now fearful of these new and powerful beings no longer recognized them and off they went dispersing into the johto region due to their typing in their arguable dog-like appearance it is speculated that the three pokemon that perished in the flames were none other than the original eeveelution trio the fire type flareon that was now the fire type entei the electric type jolteon that was now the electric type raiku and the water type vaporeon that was now the water type suicune further adding credence to this theory is the presence of the dance house in ecretic city wherein dancing geisha themed pokemon trainers that each feature a unique eeveelution or found these kimono girls as they're called are also featured in the anime in the episode troubles brewing 26th episode of pokemon johto league champions 16. eevee is genetically unstable known as the evolution pokemon eevee is widely known and heralded for its versatility and its ability to transform into a total of eight different forms to date with the new eeveelutions constantly being discovered many pokey fans eagerly await the next evolutionary iteration while some pokemon such as curlia have a branching evolution no other pokemon demonstrate such a varied and drastic change in not only its elemental typing but its genetic structure for example a varied pokemon like generation eight's alcremy has a total of nine color variant forms or flavors with each form having a different variant or topping it would seem like helkermy has evie beet however each of alchemy's forms maintains the same typing and structure with only the color and flavor varying in addition to the topping item that is added or given to the pokemon eevee changes both form and type evie a normal type can change its shape completely as it becomes an electric water fire dark psychic grass ice or fairy type with their own unique abilities personalities and traits eevee's pokemon sword pokedex entry reads it has the ability to alter the composition of its body to suit its surrounding environment this entry holds true for the items and environments an eevee can encounter for jolteon vaporeon and flareon an eevee just needs to come in contact with a thunderstone a wetter stone or a firestone respectively to become an umbreon it needs to gain a high friendship with his trainer during the night while to turn into an espeon it must do so during the day to become a glacion or leafeon it must train and or be around an ice rock or a moss rock respectively although you can use an ice stone or a leaf stone in generation 8. finally one can attain a sylveon by learning a fairy type move like baby doll eyes and having high friendship while these changes tend to create positive evolutionary changes it remains to be seen if more negative impacts of evie's environment will impact it perhaps with pollution allowing for a poison type evolution 17 james turner's gen 5 designs several generation 5 pokemon for whom james turner was a main designer received a considerable amount of flack from the community for being uninspired or against what a pokemon should be trebush and garbador are living pokemon equivalents of trash bags however vanillish vanillite and vanillux being ice cream cones pokemon styled after inanimate objects or distinctly human-centric creations have become increasingly more prominent over the years also featured in generation 5 was n whose focus on the human free natural world of pokemon conflicts with these distinctly unnatural pokemon found in urban areas the humans of the pokemon world are fundamentally introducing changes pollution and environments that create and potentially mutate pokemon into unnatural beings most likely dependent upon the very society that creates them under the surface 18. sabrina's doll most notable in the pokemon anime we are introduced to sabrina and her doll in abra and the psychic showdown sabrina sits a grown woman with a doll and a cute boat hat its eyes obscured by shadow through which she communicates allowing the doll to move and interact seemingly of its own accord although sabrina's psychic abilities are vast a part of her remain that infantilized youth that sought to communicate with a doll she shrunk and turned her own mother and later brock and misty into dolls in her dollhouse in order to play with them through a way that she could control as the psychic-type gym leader sabrina spoke through her doll to ash that if she won she would be able to play with them which she did shrinking them all down the doll giddy to have someone to play with and sabrina stoic and cold as she looked on ultimately ash is initially saved and shown a way out by sabrina's shrunken down father ash prepares for a second battle attempt ultimately failing as brock and misty are turned into dolls two personalities split into two bodies sabrina's original body that remains cold and emotionless allowing her further control of her psychic abilities and the personality split and imposed in the doll sprightly and playful attempting to engage in ways she was unable to do as a little girl her psychic powers growing unchecked it is only upon her defeat the two personalities are made whole in sabrina's body again allowing the doll to return to being a lifeless husk was ash her first opponent or were there other unseen human dolls that were played with and perhaps discarded before the intrepid trio stumbled upon the gym nineteen the pokedex was written by children in the kanto region generation one professor oak has recently developed the pokedex and tasked the player a burgeoning youth of 10 years old set out on a journey to fill out the pokedex with entries this holds true for all mainline pokemon games and the regions that they are depicted in and the anime as facts and data are filled out upon the catching of said pokemon in addition to widely varying sizes that are not appropriately noted as variances in the pokedex the entries come across as either outlandish or exaggerated although the potential truth of some can have terrifying implications here are some of the more outlandish entries a cadabra cadabra's fire red pokedex entry reads it happened one morning a boy with extra sensory powers awoke in bed transformed into an abra why it's bogus kadabra is part of an evolutionary line featuring abra as its pre-evolution would it even be able to skip such an evolution furthermore it sounds as if a child was attempting to make up a spooky story as it happened one morning before going on to what could happen to a boy not unsimilar to the reader and what about the other kadabra in the wild are all of them created in such a way the terrifying implications if true perhaps taking the above into account cadabra are the youth teens and the abra are toddler to young children with psychic abilities that are able to psychically cross known dimensions such as the psychic type unknowns dimension to manifest in such a way b larvitar larvitar's gold pokedex entry reads it feeds on soil after it has eaten a large mountain it will fall asleep so it can grow why it's bogus larvitar and pupitar its evolution can be found at mount silver a large and still standing mountain although not incredibly common surely so many lavertar would have no problem eating such a large mountain what is this but an exaggeration of a child claiming a pokemon has a case of the munchies and even if you interpret the hockey decks entry in a different way it's just soil why don't we see giant chasms everywhere across the pokemon world the terrifying implications if true perhaps the reason there are only a handful of mountains and mountain ranges as well as the rarer occurrence of lavatar suggests that their population is low due to competition for food with many starving before eating the necessary prerequisite capable of changing an entire region's topography c macargo macargo's alpha sapphire pokedex entry reads macargo's body temperature is approximately 18 000 degrees fahrenheit water is vaporized on contact if this pokemon is caught in the rain the raindrops instantly turn into steam cloaking the area in a thick fog why it's bogus the literal sun in our world is estimated at around 9941 degrees fahrenheit on the surface a pokemon more than twice as hot as the sun would burn through everything its attacks would melt and kill various pokemon that are attacked in games and anime no pokemon is shown dying from such attacks outright it is as if a kid when asked how hot it was exclaimed it's like thousands of degrees as he flings open his arms to emphasize his story to impress others terrifying implications if true it could burn destroy and kill basically everything how much heat is coming off of it would standing on the other side of the planet let alone right next to it cause instant combustion and death 20. kangaskhan's baby furthering the cubone and marowak saga is the notion that cubone is the baby carried in kangaskhan's pouch and it is its dead kangaskhan mother's skull that it wears all kangaskhan are female so it lends credence that it is always its mother's skull that it is said to wear its fire red pokedex entry reads it wears the skull of its dead mother on its head when it becomes lonesome it is said to cry loudly its emerald pokedex entry reads it pines for the mother it will never see again seeing a likeness of its mother in the full moon it cries the stains in the skull it wears are from its tears in the pokemon games and anime it is a well-known fact that extreme stress can be a cause of evolution from james kicking his magikarp in the anime leading it to angrily evolve into a gyarados to pokemon evolving from trades noted as being a result of pokemon wishing to prove themselves whether to new or old owners so they are not abandoned or traded again could not the stress of losing its mother create an alternate or branching evolutionary line in pokemon origins episode 2 we do see that cubone's mother marowak is killed off-screen by team rocket and in the games you can breed both cubone and marowak with the cubones hatching with the skulls already in place first in the case of the origins anime special episodes the coupon could have been adopted by the marowak allowing cubone to lose its mother or a motherlike figure a second time second in the games the logical fallacy of a cubone emerging from its egg with its mother's skull already on it is impossible no parent died during its conception and birth nor did it have time to don one this segways back to the notion that the extreme stress of the loss of the original cubone's mother a kangaskhan created a fundamental change or genetic evolution in the pokemon creating a branching evolutionary line perhaps then those cubone born to other cubone and marowak have such memories and stresses incorporated into their very beings and dna resulting in the growth of a skull-like apparatus during its embryonic formation and the false memories of loss that are now innate to its being 21. missingno one of the original glitches and conspiracies in pokemon is the bird slash normal type missingno or missing number from generation one's red and blue games it physically meant itself in five main forms one the arguably most well-known asymmetrical pillar from red and blue two the stock ghost type scene before the silth scope is utilized in pokemon tower three a skeletal aerodactyl four a skeletal kabutops and five a pixelated mask in a rectangular field from pokemon yellow numbers two through four appear once other factors have been met such as having y x and w as the third fifth or seventh slot of the player character's name in addition to using unassigned or glitched sprites missingno also utilizes the unused gen 1 and 2 type bird which is replaced and known as flying for the remainder of the series while existing as the accumulation of tests and unused assets the implications of missing no extend far beyond this missingno appears as number zero zero zero and all glitch pokemon appear as that zero if and only if q bone has not been caught a common theory suggests that this link was spawned by severing a branching evolution of marowak wherein only female marowak evolve into kangaskhan while not missing no itself the similarly named glitch spawned in the same generation with similar conventions named apostrophe m theses zero zero and parentheses has the ability to evolve into kangaskhan further cementing the idea that it is the unused specifically female marowak asset that allowed its evolution into kangaskhan linking it to the cubone line perhaps deemed too dark of a connection for the maternal kangaskhan to die leaving its orphaned baby to swing its skull and bones around the idea was abandoned or perhaps allowing this genetic mutation of cubones to self-perpetuate this vicious cycle through their very dna as a separate species remains 22. arceus palkia dialga and giratina introduced in the fourth generation the quartet of legendary pokemon arceus palkia dialga and giratina stand in as both the creators of life the universe and arguably hell dialga is the legendary being of time and through it time was created and is allowed to continue the powers of dialga are extrapolated upon in the pokemon mystery dungeon explorers of time game wherein the main character comes from the human world as a human and is transformed into a pokemon in this iteration dayalga is able to freeze time and thus the growth of trees and plants stop the flow of water ceases and it is a world where the sun never rises etc there is no future as dialogue saw to it that time halted palkia the complement to dialga as a legendary being of space palkia creates continues to create space galaxies and the known world we can traverse through and past arceus is known as the god of pokemon creating the universe and life as we know it although mew is known as the progenitor of all pokemon it was potentially created by arceus itself giratina is theorized as a lord of hell known as the distortion world in the pokemon games a bleak world void of life with gravity and physics that are contrary to ours where arceus creates and presides over all matter giratina presides over antimatter guillotine has two forms its normal and its origin form suggests a similar biblical fall from heaven giratina sports proud wings in its origin form origin as in its original form it becomes grounded with its six legs and tattered wings in its main form 23 mega evolution is painful introduced in pokemon x and y mega evolution was a generally well received addition to the casual and competitive gaming community many were praised for their cool new looks abilities and their ability to revitalize many pokemon in the nu or never used tear however in order to perform this transformation and attain this power the pokemon themselves suffer horrendously mega garchomp's ultra sun pokedex entry reads its arms and wings melted to something like scythes mad with rage it rampages on and on mega salomon's ultra sun pokedex entry reads the stress of its two proud wings becoming misshapen and stuck together because of strong energy makes it go on a rampage mega tyranitar's ultra sun pokedex entry reads due to the colossal power poured into it this pokemon's back split right open its destructive instincts are the only thing keeping it moving mega houndoom's ultra sun pokedex entry reads its red claws and the tips of its tail are melting from high internal temperatures that are painful to houndoom itself mega scizor's ultra sun pokedex entry reads it stores the excess energy from mega evolution so after a long time passes its body starts to melt in both the games and the anime mega evolution is freely used by both the good and bad guys at various times the pokemon powering through the pain all the while 24. hypno steals children hypnos pokedex entries denote the darker side of the pokedex its fire red pokedex entry reads it carries a pendulum-like device there once was an incident in which it took away a child it hypnotized in pokemon moon its pokedex entry reads as a matter of course it makes anyone it meets fall asleep and has a taste of their dreams anyone having a good dream it carries off however we actually see the literal evidence of said kidnapping on the third island of the sevi islands and pokemon fire red in leaf green casked as a child yourself with finding a man's lost daughter you journey across the island battling trainers crossing a strip of ocean and delving into the darkest recess of a forest where you find a little girl scared and crying with a hypno standing beside her the hypno then attacks you and it is only through defeating the hypno that the girl is saved and reunited with her father 25 bad egg most notably present in generation 3 through 6 games as well as pokemon home the bad egg occurs when there is a corruption in the pokemon games data more often than not the bad egg may result from the use of an action replay for the cheat one hit kill and double battles among many other cheats the bad egg will occasionally freeze the game upon viewing a bad egg can hatch into another bad egg or as a result of the glitch a normal egg due to being incorrectly generated may hatch into a bad egg the eggs cannot be discarded or released generally speaking forcing the player to either a deposit it into the daycare to remove it from your party b allowing the game to freeze in or crash c moving it to the pc and releasing it from there which works sometimes etc a repercussion to using cheats the bad egg is known to replace pokemon in the party with other bad eggs effectively resulting in a permanent loss of said pokemon in the context of the pokemon world bad eggs act as a form of xenomorph-like being that kills or replaces other pokemon with itself until nothing is left same one is able to release it from the pc does it still exist somewhere in the game's code or perhaps awaits an unsuspecting trainer to pick it up 26 ruins of alf located in the second generation's johto region the derelict ruins of alf are the home of the unknown and their alphabetic effigies are displayed throughout by solving a series of four puzzles or keys one is supposedly able to enter the dimension of the unknown all the puzzles although different from the originals and the remake all depict ancient or legendary pokemon kabuto aerodactyl ho-oh and ammonite the player can receive a handful of useful items from completing these puzzles perhaps the proto-alphabet the unknown resembles the 26-letter alphabet most of us are familiar with with an additional question mark and exclamation point 27 white hand on your shoulder and the generation one games in their remakes the player trainer is asked if they believe in ghosts noting the white hand on his or her shoulder when turning to look there is nothing there as the original games in their anime special adaptation pokemon origins demonstrates this is highlighted as a paranormal occurrence for red when red checks for the hand which we as the audience see no one is there when he turns back around to question them they too have disappeared the presence of ghosts and ghost pokemon are prevalent in all facets of the pokemon franchise could the white hand be someone that knew red and has since passed on in the original red and blue you did not have the choice to choose green the female counterpart to red so perhaps the hand in question is truly relevant to red and a certain person missing from his life his father unlike ash and the anime red's father is never mentioned did he die of an illness abandon them or perhaps die in one of the many pokemon wars routinely alluded to throughout the franchise if so it would make sense for this occurrence to happen shortly after progressing to lavender town the site of the pokemon tower the only known grave site in the kanto region or is the hand more sinister demonstrating its presence and its ability to touch the player character without even being seen center of the iceberg 28. red's purpose on mount silver generation one's protagonist red defeated team rocket captured mewtwo and sought to complete the pokedex by capturing mew why was he at the top of mount silver three years after his defeat of and the subsequent dissolution of team rocket under giovanni one red is looking for mew the only place in the known pokemon world he hasn't checked yet red seeks the final pokemon to complete the pokedex in this isolated and inhospitable place two red is training to become ever stronger mount silver is the pinnacle to literally climb your way to the top with hordes of strong pokemon how else but through dedicated training could red continue to improve 3. red fears harming others or their pokemon perhaps after red became champion blue revealed that as a result of their battle his raticate had died red fearing that he had grown too strong and in an effort not to be challenged or to harm another's pokemon in the same fashion he isolated himself to train where he cannot harm another red wordlessly stares at the player character gold but acquiesces to a battle after a moment perhaps believing him to be worthy after coming all the way to the summit considering his pokemon are all in the level 80s he is one of the absolute strongest trainers to battle to date 29 n is a zoroark generation fives oft misunderstood but well-meaning villain turned hero particularly moving into the black 2 and white 2 games and is the green-haired human king of team plasma and has a fondness and ability to speak with pokemon there was a long list of pokemon that can speak to and understand humans but not humans that can understand and translate pokemon to name a few of these pokemon meowth of team rocket mewtwo or lucario from his movie adaptation for example this leaves n as the soul human that can actively understand interpret and communicate with pokemon a pokemon with an interesting illusion-based ability zoroark is introduced in this generation interestingly enough and also gives azurua zoroark's pre-evolution to the player trainer zoroark and zorua are able to actively take the form of another pokemon and on multiple occasions have shown the ability to transform into a human although on these occasions it could not speak the human language ends backstory reveals that he had to grow up alongside abused pokemon that had been mistreated by humans it is noted that he was forced to grow up amongst these pokemon by his adoptive father getzes and no biological parents are ever mentioned during this time and vowed to make a difference and become the hero for these pokemon why was he amongst these pokemon if not because he was a pokemon himself and similar to meowth of team rocket was similarly motivated to learn to communicate with humans in order to realize his own goal to bring an end to the mistreatment of pokemon by humans gatsas claims he is the one who made in who he was and saw the potential in him perhaps noticing his abilities and the latent potential to create a figurehead that understands pokemon in order to realize his master plan of relieving all trainers of their pokemon leaving just him with his and ultimate control as for his form end does bear embarked resemblance to getzes perhaps emuling the childhood and then adolescent photographs of his adoptive father when choosing a human form add to this end's childlike bedroom with children's toys a basketball and skate ramp it seems like his human upbringing was infantilized and unstructured befitting the games and amenities one would give to a pet or a pokemon getsis also refers to n as a freak not unlike meowsie does to meowth another talking pokemon while n's ultimate goal of protecting pokemon remains intact he maintains his human form to speak for the pokemon that are unable to do so themselves three yuri geller in the cadabra controversy yuri geller magician and illusionist sued nintendo of california for copying his trademark spoon bending trick and psychic abilities and turned his likeness into quote an evil occult pokemon character end quote geller claimed that the star and lightning bolt patterns depicted on cadabra's head and midsection respectively was reminiscent of the symbols popularized to the waffen-ss of nazi germany as a result cadabra pokemon cards stop production until a settlement could be made with geller acquiescing in november 2020 allowing the cadabra to be printed once more if true this means that utilizing geller's likeness as a creation in the pokemon world or perhaps creates a direct link from the pokemon world to ours 31 ash's father ash's father is never named throughout the pokemon series rife with speculation there are a few possibilities a ash's father is dead it is relatively common knowledge particularly in generation 1 that a war took place that involved pokemon lieutenant serge the electric type gym leader of kanto stated that his electric pokemon protected him during the war as he still sports his camo combat attire and with the exception of generation 3's protagonist no player character has a father only a mother perhaps due to being drafted for the war further lending support to this is the anime where an officer jenny is in basically all locations the de facto law enforcer with a distinct lack of adult males in many places b professor oak is ash's father ash's mom and oak spend quite a bit of on and off screen time together having lunch and dinner together vacationing to a beach together where ash meets both of them there featured in the band episode beauty and the beach in showdown at the oak corral ash's mother is seen hanging out at the oak residence in the 2016 anime ash calls home to talk to his mother where oak is standing just behind her countless similar events have occurred c silver no not the red-haired one is ash's father an older adult with graying hair but similarly shaped eyes and eyebrows silver appears in the search for the legend upon ash's friend richie mentioning his physical similarity to ash silver appears wistful looking knowingly and ritchie at this point couldn't ash be well known and if not why such a wordless response in subtle cues d we just haven't met him yet ash said because he said he was going to become a pokemon trainer he left on a journey and hasn't come back home since eventually our paths might cross this might give way to the silver theory as it is ritchie not ash that crosses paths with him in this episode 32 silver is giovanni's son in generation 2 and its remakes heart golden soul silver silver appears at the fiery red-headed antagonist from the very beginning he steals his first pokemon from professor elm he's constantly inside or around team rocket's operations and continues to steal pokemon such as the shuckle from the man in cyan wood city just like team rocket steals pokemon ariana the de facto stand-in leader in giovanni's absence bears a striking resemblance to silver particularly in the hair's color and notable point at the top and depending on the medium or iteration the same eye color she demonstrates an uncommonly strong fealty to giovanni as a high-ranking executive of team rocket and a notable female of the criminal organization she could be the potential mother of silver adding to this and generation 1 same team rocket grunts remark at the player character was the boss's kid but another denounced this as his kid had red hair 33 old man dying in x and y in generation 6's pokemon x and y player character has a direct impact on whether an old man dies by the end of the game found in anastar city the old man has been lonely since his wife passed away and requests that the player character give him a low-level pokemon to raise and to cheer him up choice one if you give him a pokemon he's overjoyed upon trips back to him he remarks on how happy and young he feels although noting that the pokemon was a player characters if he or she wanted it returned eventually upon returning the old man will be gone and the player character will be greeted with a note and a pokeball on the floor implying that the old man died albeit happily in his final days you additionally receive a comment shard as well as being able to retrieve the gifted pokemon choice 2 if you do not give the old man a pokemon he perpetually continues his existence and abject misery longing for companionship but never dying over the course of the game 34. haunted old chateau gen 4 ghosts are not strangers to the pokemon franchise especially human ones upon traversing through the shadowed eterna forest and old dilapidated chateau rests abandoned before the forest exit upon entering many strange going-ons occur including the sighting of a little girl's ghost that runs and disappears through a doorway the other ghost that of a butler is seen in the kitchen of the chateau an antidote left in a trash can providing a possible method of death for the girl she had been poisoned and with the antidote conveniently thrown away she succumbed to it was the butler involved culprit serving the poison meal and discarding her salvation or perhaps he was the one attempting to save her failing to find the antidote that another culprit hastily hid if so why was the butler's ghost still tied to this chateau was it guilt for his misdeeds was he found out and killed in retaliation resulting in the building's occupants abandoning it to let the murders go unquestioned or perhaps he is the benevolent spirit guilt-ridden for failing to save the young lady of the house 35 the bird trios japanese names most are well acquainted with generation 1's legendary bird trio articuno zapdos and multrace and how the final portions of their names uno dos tres number them from one to three in spanish while relatively simple counting off their numbers in the trio they also combine their elemental natures arctic arctic cold frozen zap denoting electricity or lightning and molt noting molten lava or fire most however are not acquainted with the trio's japanese names frieza freezer sanda thunder and fire fire again i apologize for the mispronunciation which similar to arbok and atkins are incredibly uninspired and not unique or rather very unpokemon one is cold and freezes things and is called freezer one controls lightning and is called thunder and the final one has flames for wings and breathes fire and is literally called fire while not known for being ancient like arceus the god of pokemon or the prehistoric fossil pokemon could these pokemon be the progenitors or at least the first introductory concepts are their respective elemental attacks upon humanity's fledgling encounters with pokemon known only for the legendary destructive power that they bring lower half 36 arceus lets lucas and dawn catch it arceus the literal god of pokemon allows lucas or dawn to catch it not just with a master ball which it should be able to break out of anyway as it created the being of time and space and controls matter but a standard pokeball can prove successful in the games now with the power of a literal god in the hands of a child what new wonders and horrors remain to be created 37 natural harmonia gropius the full name of n almost as if further cementing the zoroark theory a pokemon with only a fledgling understanding of some human words was allowed to create its own name as a child might when given a dictionary breaking it down here are some of the implications 1. natural a by definition something that is natural is quote not made or caused by humankind b nature animals pokemon are all natural manifestations of the pokemon world c n is trying to act natural as a human to avoid detection as if his cover as a talking pokemon is unearthed it might discredit his mission and message two harmonia a in greek mythology harmonia is the immortal goddess of harmony and concord b falls in line with n's desire to bring peace and harmony to pokemon by freeing them the cruel treatment of people and just a note this name also features on ends basketball in his room and is shared by his foster sisters that were similarly taken in baguetzas they too can understand pokemon perhaps they are zora or zoroark as well three gropius a perhaps derived from walter gropius a german architect hailed as quote one of the pioneering masters of the modernist architecture which may emulate and desire to serve as the architect and creator of this new free world for pokemon be grope could be used as a root of grope as in n is groping or searching and scraping to reach his goal is is the suffix added to a noun in order to form an adjective meaning made of or belonging to that noun four final interpretation together the name natural harmonia gropius could be interpreted as the architect creating or made of nature that seeks to bring the world to harmony through reverting it back to its natural setting n is made of natural and harmonious means being a pokemon and seeks to be the architect to create a world that embodies these principles 38 zinnias ancestors the draconids or draconids zinnia first appearing in the delta episode and throughout the main story the generation iii remakes omega ruby and alpha sapphire belongs to a dragon-like cult called the draconids that revere rayquaza the people historically presided under meteor falls in the hoenn region at a time when primal groudon and kyogre fought and meteors fell upon the land the sky pillar where rayquaza is found and summoned was built by the draconids a meteor was foreseen to strike once again necessitating a draconid calling upon rayquaza to help keep it from striking the pokemon world in the manga when questioned zinnia claims that the draconids are the only ones allowed to ride with crazer because it is essentially a suicide mission which makes sense one would be riding rayquaza into the ozone where rayquaza emits poisonous ozone as it travels ultimately coming up with a spacesuit to protect the character from such toxins no one ends up dying in the ensuing mission to destroy the meteor 39 human and pokemon unions in universe human and pokemon relationships are canon and the kennel life library of cinno the following entries are found in the english localization a there once were pokemon that became very close to humans b there once were humans and pokemon that ate together at the same table c it was a time where there existed no differences to distinguish between the two it's okay if you didn't get all that translating part of the japanese entries reveals that quote there once were people who married pokemon much more overt did it fall out of fashion or does it still exist today are humanoid pokemon like gardevoir glade and metacham a result of such unions diluting human and pokemon blood alike 40. unknown radio signal and the generation 2 remakes heart gold and soul silver a mysterious radio broadcast from the pokemon unknown can be heard the eerie tune is reminiscent of the tune played on the azure flute the same flute and melody supposed to be utilized in the event to call and submit arceus perhaps summoning arceus and utilizing the radio waves allowing for a louder and more far-reaching melody to pervade and catch archaea's attention was their plan what purpose could the unknown have in summoning arceus the god of pokemon these sounds can only be picked up on the pokey gear radio when inside select rooms in the ruins of alf additionally some sounds of the radio broadcast in separate rooms sound like the distorted cries of the legendary pokemon ho-oh 41 drought and drizzle both groudon and kyogre's respective abilities meant destruction for life as it was known in the pokemon world the legendary pokemon groudon's ability drought caused intense solar rays to pervade stopping rain and evaporating water groudon is responsible for creating land masses eliminating bodies of water and its intense heat waves the legendary pokemon kyogre drowned and covered the world and oceans its drizzle ability causing a violent and unrelenting storm the creators of land and sea an imbalance of either leading to the unsustainability of life 42 giovanni's suicide in pokemon heart gold and soul silver after giovanni's defeat he exits the cave in a distinct splash sound as the cave is surrounded by swaths of torrent water however giovanni does not have any pokemon in his team that no surfer waterfall after having gone into hiding at having been defeated by red a mere 10 year old and then once again by another child all of his plans foiled caused the crime boss to give up on everything he had once believed in 43. lava cookie under the truck shortly after the release of the original red and blue a pervading theory swept the internet claiming the elusive legendary pokemon mew can be found under a truck by completing a certain methodology as an homage to this and the remake's firemen and leaf green a lava cookie an item found in the hoenn region can be found under the truck although accessing this truck proves quite difficult through non-cheats how could such an item from the hoenn region arrive in kanto and in such a place if we consider the cannon the closest region is johto could it have been mailed that still doesn't make sense for its location under the truck as a psychic type with numerous unknown powers could mew have teleported under the truck from kanto only escaping and being able to teleport away being the only evidence of its presence a lava cookie 44 arceus event canceled on purpose the arkies event was cancelled for being too difficult demonstrating the series more child-friendly leaning removing puzzles and complicated caves in order to cater to younger audience members with shorter attention spans as put by the franchise the event was essentially already made and it shouldn't have been hard to activate could this have been game freak not wanting players to have access to arceus the god of pokemon or were the implications of the event and its content too universe shattering such as the cut scene when images of the real world are shown bottom of the iceberg 45 arceus pronunciation most commonly pronounced arceus and then arseas due to a promo featuring the pokemon and finally arceus according to pokemon.com as the god of pokemon couldn't all forms be correct regionally and again through multiple dimensions of the pokemon world arceus may be known as or pronounce different names all of which are correct similar to god jehovah or yahweh to name a few in addition to this language and words are not performative by nature but merely a collection of sounds used to denote a tangible or intangible concept in existence for example if one said let there be light and light literally appeared through the power of the words in and of themselves making them performative as a god like arceus could 46. toxicity in gen 7. in generation 7's pokemon ultra sun and moon a poster depicting generation 8's gigantomax toxicity can be seen it is well known that the pokemon regions exist simultaneously but for game mechanic and creation reasons new pokemon do not exist in older generation games could there be an end universe explanation for this the kanto and jodo regions side by side seem to have a strong relation with many shared pokemon however in pokemon black and white there are no pokemon found outside of the main pokedex from previous generations before obtaining the national decks perhaps generation 5's unova region based off of america was ocean land or continent locked from the others native to japan which would later become invasive species each pokemon region may be self-sustaining and have its own government as speculated by the presence of a unique elite four per region the most powerful trainers and arguably governing body of the entire region we do not see or have certain regions undiscovered pokemon because there has not been an alliance formed between the two regions allowing for trade and commerce perhaps the toxicity poster was a means to advertise and use media to begin creating association between jin 7's alola region based off of hawaii with gen 8's pokemon and battle styles which are based in england 47. pikachu was a tiger when pokemon was being developed there was a desire to appeal and be successful in western markets leading to the pokemon company to reach out to american sources ishihara the current pokemon company ceo claimed quote the staff in america submitted their ideas for replacement designs but we just couldn't believe the kind of stuff they were proposing they turned pikachu into something like a tiger with huge breasts it looked like a character from the musical cats while no known image exists of this iteration of pikachu there is a scrapped tiger-like design 48. lance's dragonite what signal was team rocket using that was able to impact pokemon and cause evolutionary changes in pokemon heart gold and soul silver you first see lance's dragonite's level when you enter a double battle with him against team rocket level 40. dragonair does not evolve into dragonite until level 55. a full 15 levels early it would seem that lance is just as guilty of this forced evolution as team rocket but what if his dragonite was a similar victim of the broadcasts looking back at the ruins of alph and the strange radio signals they're in perhaps there is a link could the radio signals be drawn from the power and dimensional songs of the unknown accelerating the growth or the time having taken place to reach such a growth as for the shiny gyarados in the lake directly affected by the signal perhaps it is an alternate dimension pokemon hence the shiny color that has appeared as a result of the radio waves 49 hop and leon are related to iris hop and leon are the friendly rival and champion and generation 8 scalar region and iris the dragon type gym leader and eventual champion of generation 5's unova region while not officially confirmed speculation that the three are related particularly as cousins abounds in the online community hop leon and iris in conjunction share a similar ethnicity sport bluish purple tinted black hair both leon and iris being the champions of their respective regions at one point and all becoming powerful trainers in their own right debatable and various games and media having relatives in other regions is not an uncommon occurrence one of iris's signature pokemon axu and later hexaurus also appears on leon's team along with other dragon or dragon like pokemon could the bloodline of certain human trainers be of predilection for greatness 50. mewtwo geiger gaius or guy you in its japanese translation again i apologize for the pronunciation as modeled after mewtwo and shares a marked resemblance official sources state he is derived from the series earthbound mother and he is a playable unlockable fighter in super smash brothers for nintendo switch which also features pokemon similar to pokemon conquest being a collab or crossover with a fire emblem franchise could geigeu be an alternate world dimensional mewtwo furthermore could the location of the smash tournaments be an interdimensional arena wherein all these franchises are able to meet 51. rodem tv in the old chateau in generation 4 an old flickering tv can be found upstairs on certain days at night the electric ghost type pokemon rodem can be encountered a pokemon known for overtaking and incorporating technology as its body switching its typing could have been attempting to create a new form rotom is known to take over fridges fans lawn mowers washing machines oven pokedexes phones and many other sources of technology in fact in later games having a rotom inhabit one's technology as an upgrade not as a partner pokemon is increasingly apparent an ultra sun and moon failing to interact with your rotum apparatus and instead simply using it causes it to appear dejected its eyes downcast and its smile gone a pokemon a ghost forced to inhabit the shells of technology for human convenience 52 fishable statues in generation ones red blue and yellow player characters were able to fish inside the pokemon statues very clearly indoors while generally dismissed as being a tile coating area such as tall grass allowing for the spawning of pokemon the presence of this seemingly logic breaking act points to an alternate explanation the gym was built and the solid structures put into place there is no water and by extension no pokemon to catch in that world as a small glitch or fissure into a parallel world where perhaps the gym was never built and upon resides or even further back in time such as the ceno of old and pokemon legends arceus where the topography has changed where and when are you fishing under the iceberg 53 gorocho throughout all pokemon generations the formula for evolution ends at a potential third and final evolution with various pokemon only having a single or in some cases a second evolution while mega evolution and giganta maxing both have introduced a progressed final or all-powerful form the effects are merely temporary however pikachu the mascot of the franchise almost had a fourth evolution urachu and tended to follow pikachu raichu gorachu and pokemon red and blue games it never came to fruition and generation two instead pikachu was given a pre-evolution pichu what led to the abandonment of this final evolution unbalanced stats unconforming design or was it a bit too close in aesthetics to the simultaneously running digimon designs was the mascot of the pokemon franchise meant to compete with or link the two universes 54. buy it or die a quote from a sailor claiming if you like this game buy it or die has routinely made the rounds and pokemon fire red and leaf green discussion boards for years and official copies of the game the quote isn't able to be found or recreated suggesting that the quote comes from rom hacks whether made by the pirate of the game or as an anti-piracy measure in the game once illegally copied remains unknown 55 dark cry isn't evil darkrai known as the bringer of nightmares and a main antagonist in both the pokemon anime and mystery dungeon franchises was perhaps vilified to the point of acceptance for its natural state of being darkrai's pokemon x pokedex entry reads it chases people and pokemon from its territory by causing them to experience deep nightmarish slumbers darkrai's platinum pokedex entry reads to protect itself it afflicts those around it with nightmares however it means no harm in both pokedex iterations darkrai utilizes nightmares to chase or remove people from around it to protect itself as the incarnate figure of nightmares the mere proximity to it can induce nightmares in those around it most likely creating some sense of proof of the pokemon's power and ill intent when that couldn't be further from the truth many of the most evil pokemon were spawned as a direct result of human cruelty mewtwo for example was created in a lab and used by giovanni creating an intense distrust of all people seeking to create pokemon free from human trainers and intervention similar to how in potentially a pokemon himself and zoroark themselves are known to distrust humans it was a z who fired a doomsday-like weapon and sacrificed the lives of many other pokemon to selfishly bring back a single pokemon of his floette time and again pokemon are moved to action even violence by human intervention and encroachment upon their territories even more so a pokemon that negatively affects humans whether through active or passive means is deemed a threat [Music] 56 gen 1 shinies and pokemon color changes incredibly rare in the original games and increasingly more common through official cheats and chaining mechanics in later generations shiny pokemon are alternately colored variations of pokemon that appear the same in every other way and generation ones red blue and yellow the shiny pokemon were unable to be seen although the trading of one to the next generation would reveal the change at first the full odds of encountering a shiny pokemon were one in 8 192 encounters later this was improved to one in 4096. from there methods like shiny chaining and defeating a certain streak of a particular pokemon increase the odds even further the masuda method of breeding a pokemon of one nationality to another also raises these odds in hatching a shiny pokemon additionally there are non-shiny pokemon that have seen some color changes such as gligar from light and warm purple to cooler darker purple to pink through various generations perhaps these are not just technological limitations or corrections but multiple iterations in parallel universes wherein pokemon branch and deviate slightly but not fully could shiny pokemon be a result of a glitch between such dimensions or universes landing in the pokemon world we know even more so the changing colorations of not just pokemon but of chinese purports an ever-branching universe of possibilities the usage of these cheats and methods of obtaining a shiny pokemon are exploitations of this universe that cause the irregularities through which shiny pokemon to appear in the masada method perhaps the different nationalities are separate universes wherein that language is the dominant one in society thus when one is effectively breeding two pokemon from alternate dimensions resulting in the higher likelihood of the production of these glitched pokemon as the series and these methods progress and odds become ever more favorable is this evidence of the fabric between the dimensions weakening allowing for more of these shifts mega evolution z crystals wishing stars dynamax spots etc are available in some areas and regions but unknown or unavailable in others as the remakes offer alternate characters that share the same names and stories while being wholly separate entities as the colors and shiny colors of pokemon change so too does the presence of real world animals in the games anime and manga perhaps with each iteration real animals are unable to compete with pokemon and slowly becoming extinct in a pokemon dominated world where might that leave humans 57 missingno and x y in generation six's lumio city missingno's original form can be seen in the darkness of a doorway once coded and then deleted from usage missingno or rather the female marowak missing linked to kangaskhan still exists in limbo drifting in a parallel world not unlike our own but where it is given its true form 58. mom dad abra in generation five's unova region in black and white too a strange house can be found abandoned among the dusty tumbleweeds in this arid landscape a lunar wing is eventually found amongst the scattered and destroyed remnants of the house and a room with the only light on we later learn and see the ghost girl on the marvelous bridge unlike other ghosts that move off screen she literally disappears before our eyes also shocking the man she is standing next to she has three lines of dialogue from the three encounters an everlasting dark dream an endless stream of darkness dad mom abra where are you in the dark dream i heard my dad's voice forget about the lunar wing please stay here with me oh the lunar wing i can't take it now but it'll be okay please return the wing to the pokemon i was waiting on the bridge so i can return it myself the lunar wing from the pokemon cresselia is able to dispel nightmares which the girl was trapped in her psychic type pokemon abra perhaps induced or tried to save her from the dream as we eventually get her line to stay with her as she hears her dad's voice remarking that obtaining a lunar wing was a lost cause and they needed to act as shown in the mystery dungeon series a psychic type pokemon is capable of transporting others into dreams and nightmares which abra most likely did hear in lieu of the lunar wing to save her failing the girl never waking dies in her fitful sleep she no longer needs the wing brought to her home the strange house too late wanting to return the wing to cresselia the girl waits the marvelous bridge thankful that at last the wing can be returned and she can rest 59 chris was replaced by lyra when the generation 2 remakes were announced fans were excited by the prospect of seeing gold ethan and crystal chris back and restyled as had been done to both a red and green and pokemon fire red and leaf green however chris was completely scrapped instead making way for a new female player character lyra why would they change such a fundamental character perhaps as a mean to reignite nostalgia for the original games which had come out more than a decade before with many and how adults themselves when comparing lyra and red's original artwork the official pose similarities are uncanny perhaps in the heart golden soul silver remake dimension chris never existed leaving lyra to take her place in this alternate world 60 az's floette long ago during a pokemon war pokemon were conscripted to fight including az's floette which was killed in battle and returned to him in a tiny box overcome with grief and anger az used a terrible power to end the war killing many people and pokemon in the process to use such a weapon many pokemon's lies were taken reviving floette and granting it an a-z eternal life the now calcified statues of the sacrifice pokemon stand vigil a mere sight for tourists unable to comprehend the horrors that created them 61. haunted painting another ghost sighting in generation ford's old chateau is the haunted painting when facing the purple painting it appears as normal however when you turn away from it its eyes glow red due to its red eyes it could be any number of ghost type pokemon including gengar banette esmegias giratina etc giratina could be peeking in from the distortion world ready to take the guilty party's soul the other could be waiting to spear away the soul of the little girl and all could be waiting to have you join them 62 astor astor is the name given to zinnia's whisper she routinely cuddles it acting very motherly toward it despite her own apparent vicious and animalistic nature astor likewise occasionally mumbles mum a version of mom a phrase not replicated by talking to any other whisper before or since in the game this has led some to speculate that astor is her adopted daughter after one she has is lost or has been transformed into a pokemon due to unknown and potentially interdimensional means one theory suggests that xenia herself is a pokemon from the mystery dungeon universe that has failed to save that world from the meteor that rayquaza is able to prevent coming to this world with her partner pokemon astor her battle animation is particularly lively resembling pokemon or animal movements another theory claims that astor is her predecessor from an alternate reality where they again were unable to stop rayquaza instead hoping to write their failures and bring an end to the nightmare 63 magikarp dies in the mobile game magikarp jump magikarp can and routinely do die if your magic carp jumps too high it can be caught and whisked off by a pidgeotto to be eaten some are electrocuted by the electric type voltorb what happens when your trained and loved magikarp dies you just go and fish up a new one to repeat the process once more the magic carpeting game can also be shiny hand sport new previously unseen patterns reminiscent of a koi fish the chibi style and normalized presence of multi-colored magikarp as an indication that this isn't red blue yellow fire red leaf green or any other known game world or iteration but its own new branching one with its own league for magikarp 64. team skull lyrics the lyrics to team school's leader guzmas and counter thing can be potentially interpreted as this aha uh-huh team skull tear it down doo doo doo doo don't run yeah that's right get out the way we're going down in the games team school completely takes over po town kicking out or eliminating its inhabitants when the player character is about to enter kahuna nanu remarks if you don't make it i'll be sure your remains at least get back home suggesting that running will not work against these criminals should you be defeated you will be killed how many lives has team school taken what happened to the residents of po town are the members of team school so focused on destruction that they are willing to bring everyone including themselves down by extension their pokemon have been used as instruments of destruction and arguably murder like our world would such pokemon be rehabilitated or put down 65 unknown or minor deities as previously mentioned the ruins of alf are said to be the gateway to the dimension of the unknown what resides in this dimension in addition to mirroring ho-oh's cries and the summoning call of arceus via the azure flutes melody there are a smattering of clues about the games and one of the movies in the original pokemon crystal the unknown behind the first panel formed the word escape but who or from what is unclear is it a means to escape from the ruins of alf and all who tread there lest they unlock said dimension are the unknown themselves trapped and seeking to call arceus in order to escape meekly playing the distorted tune of the azure flute or perhaps the unknown are preventing the escape of powerful or dangerous pokemon that seek to inhabit and wreak havoc upon the world and pokemon heart gold and soul silver wherein pokemon can follow you having an unknown in your party upon entering and traversing the ruins of elf causes it to behave abnormally from twisting in circles stopping movement completely or even making strange noises itself we see a glimpse of this minor deity-like power and the unknown's dimension itself and the gen 3 movie pokemon 3 the movie the opening main act is entitled spell of the unknown wherein a professor is sucked into the dimension of the unknown upon traversing the ruins the professor's daughter molly then discovers a box of tablets that depict unknown images and she begins assembling them together making the unknown appear they utilize their powers to make her dreams come true creating the legendary pokemon entei creating a crystal palace etc the unknown eventually remove everything taking it all back to their dimension with the ability to summon and create life such as a sentient legendary pokemon like entei to summon or create grand palaces to change the little girl's age denotes a power not unlike arceus and mu's creation abilities thinking back shinies appeared in generation 2 when the possibilities for these alternate dimensions occurred had unknowns clear links to arceus and it seems like the unknown space-like dimension might just be arceus's domain the abyss 66 tentacle beta number 199 politode otherwise known as tentaquil was first revealed by a user on 4chan who claimed to have remembered the pokemon's existence with no proof the claim was disregarded until leaks of beta pokemon designs came to light with one bearing marked resemblance 67 gary and blue coexist parallel universes there are some separations of identity or interpretations of characters across the various pokemon medias the manga the video games and the television series or movies in the anime gary oak is the grandson of professor oak the rival of ash and the anime incarnation of blue and the games blue is still the grandson of professor oak but he is the rival of red however the lines cross an ultra sun and moon when a player is gifted an ash greninja remember ash only exists in the anime where one version of gary oak exists later in the game of the battle tree the player character meets both blue and red the ultra space wormholes and ultra sun and moon allow the still alive and successful giovanni to recruit and summon all the evil team leaders that triumph in their respective alternate universes achieving the goals and destruction they set out for as players of the game know their player character had defeated these leaders in their versions of the game these hardened criminals demonstrate the alternate path of those heroes that failed with the convergence and indisputable presence of characters and their alternate counterparts no less real than the last demonstrates the notion that all characters and routes are canon and real parallel universes in mind would anything untoward occur if gary and blue were to meet 68 ultra wormholes ultra space and ultra beasts ultra wormholes and ultra space are known as space-time rifts which i will refer to as dimensional rifts it is through these riffs that giovanni maxi archie and all of the other main antagonists appear from their respective dimensions or timelines wherein they won altering reality in those timelines we see quote followers or people who are involuntarily transported through these portals to other dimensions such as looker and annabelle alternate versions of characters are canonically proven to exist and are through ultra wormholes able to traverse these dimensions in the events of pokemon sun and moon as well as ultra sun and moon these wormholes are shown as being increasingly unstable resulting in more intentional and unintentional visitors from parallel dimensions while most pokemon fans are familiar with annabelle giovanni and the other bosses in their party pokemon what if ultra beasts the new non-pokemon pokemon let's take a look into a few of them in relation to some characters that we know lusamine human and feramosa the ultra beast similar statures white and yellow gold color scheme similar proportions and poses now let's look at lily and hilago both wear a hat and a rounded bulb on top follow a predominantly white color scheme similar hair to tentacles feature a sheer see-through portion in their design and a case could be made between circuitry and guzma both have a shock of unruly white hair feature a black white and gold copper color scheme with white crosses and accents throughout finally while not a physical link between an ultra beast and a human there is a distinct auditory one guzzlord's piercing human screams carry the unfettered emotion of agony and red [Music] could ultra beasts be alternate dimension forms of humans wherein humans have a merged with pokemon completely such as the sinnoh books mention of pokemon unions b are the result of a god pokemon's action or attempt at creation perhaps a recreation or c are just a part of an alternate dimension where pokemon don't exist and ultra beasts do as people and if the latter is true is there a pokemon equivalent to ultra beasts if ultra beasts are that dimensions humans d or is there simply a dimension that exists with humans and ultra beasts without pokemon the ultra recon squad would appear to be pale blue skinned humans live in and traverse ultra space with their home in megalopolis alternate humans 69 real world images in heart golden soul silver in the remakes of generation 2 heart golden soul silver we saw the inclusion of an event pokemon arceus the god of pokemon and the creator of life in a jarring fashion the pixelated and cartoon pokemon world shifts to arceus's face it's a glowing red eye before melting away to a picture of space and galaxies real galaxies our galaxies with an almost alchemic summoning triangle around a pixel arceus superimposed in the foreground flashes of images from the real world traffic infrastructure cityscapes and erupting volcano slides of bacteria and other living cells and tissues flash behind it ominous music increasing in tempo with clashing and grading collisions of notes add to the uneasy feeling of a shift there is a break from the nonsensical game where you can pretend to be in the pokemon world you and the real world are uneasy and shown your own reality a reality perhaps created by the same god 70 abyssal ruins introduced in generation 5 and resting at the bottom of andela bay the abyssal ruins along with the ruins in the desert dubbed the desert resort could have been sites where upon az's doomsday weapon impacted 3000 years ago destroying its inhabitants and ending the war expanded on in the anime and appearing in the anime as the undersea temple wherein meluetta was responsible for sealing the revealed glass that is used to change the forms of tornados and landorus the king mentioned in the runes could be meloetta one melody managed to calm down the forces of nature thundurus tornados and landorus thus defeating them alone two melodies both the hope and future as only it is able to calm the nature trio down should they become unleashed once more three only mellowetta's relic song and the revealed glass used in unison can conversely summon the nature trio other theories suggest n or kirim as the king n being the self-proclaimed king of team plasma the hope for the pokemon and capturing a force of nature zekrom or reshiram perhaps foretold in ancient prophecies his crown although perhaps changing in color due to the water is markedly similar to the one found or perhaps recreated could not the king mention be all of these people just not the same dimension with divergent realities ones were n1 red lost to giovanni and every other switch and or canon route we know couldn't the fate of the ruins be inherently dependent upon such real world events 71. pokey park tunnel in the spin-off game follow-up to pokey park wii pikachu's adventure pokey park 2 wonders beyond there is an inaccessible tunnel in one area it is unable to be traversed or unlocked throughout the game maybe it is an abandoned or restricted area it is unknown what lies beyond it perhaps it could serve as a potential link between the human and the pokemon world 72. pokemon fishing game the first pokemon game released in a digital only format and having an incredibly short life from may 10th to september 25th 2005 pokemon fishing rally ds was simple once the ds was turned off or the game otherwise closed all pokemon were lost the game took on a 3d first person role reminiscent of some real world fishing games again a completely new visual style suggesting alternate aesthetical representation that account for the various parallel dimensions 73 ethan and lyra and cynthia witness the birth of a god the pair bear witness or rather the trio bear witness to arceus creating a new dialga palkia or giratina which are deities in the pokemon world this suggests that arceus could create more than one if there were two dialogues would they coexist peacefully or wage time-based wars to determine the one that truly rules time could arceus not create an army of similarly godlike pokemon 74 no you're not the one a horde of faceless men i'm going to go for help wait in the usual place and ghosts another ghost sighting takes place in generation 6 predominantly in lumio city as well as an unsettling and potentially linked message in lumia station both of these events referenced by an official japanese pokemon site along with the haunted house in the swamp in the swamp of kalos the player character happens upon a haunted house in a rundown swamp filled with hex maniacs and similar occult-like happenings therein the player character hears a scary story from an old man it was a dark and stormy night many years ago lost i arrived at this house and went inside the lights would not turn on so i fearfully looked around the house eventually i made my way into the kitchen there was no sign of anyone being there i found the fridge and when i opened it a faint light leaked out i could finally make out my surroundings and i saw the faint outline of a man huddling in the corner of the room i tried to tell him that i was hoping he'd let me stay until morning but when i approached him the man suddenly screamed stay back i apologized and continued to plead my case please can't you help me i'm not talking to you he shouted i looked at the main surprise when i did this the man asked me can't you see them behind you a horde of faceless men when hearing this story the camera angle shifts to above the player character the man and the group tilting swaying and shifting as it haphazardly switched angles as if being watched starting from far away and getting progressively closer as the story continues the camera gives the impression of being stalked next in lumio station the trainer walks past two sleeping skittu seemingly abandoned by their trainer and waiting for his her return as one woman comments finding a message scroll in the back of a schedule board that reads i'm going to go for help wait in the usual place finally on an abandoned second floor the game freezes the player character is unable to move and the music completely stops a hex girl appears floating saying no you're not the one before extending a leg and floating away not moving her legs time and music resumes with no trace of her on the floor the hex girl similar to the one seen in the swamp surrounding the haunted house was stalked by the man the girl knowing something was wrong perhaps being worn by the ghosts of his past victims as hex girls are in tune with ghost types attempted to flee she left a message to her pokemon the skitto to wait in their usual place on the train platform and went to her apartment to gather some things it is there that the man found and killed her it is why the floor is still empty as no one wishes to be on a floor where a murder took place it is also why she says the player character was not the one she was waiting for the man to return that she could either a have her vengeance or b receive an apology so her spirit could pass on perhaps the floating unseen force that pans the camera ever closer during the story focusing finally on the man's face as the hex girls or another the man's victims lured in by the intrigue of a haunted house and a scary story alone regardless ghosts are consistently shown to exist as both pokemon and humans as well as entities that can interact with those in the material world in pokemon fire red and leaf green upon defeating marowak cubone's mother it is noted the mother spirit was calmed it departed to the afterlife the term afterlife could hold significant meaning in these dimensions and the ability to transition between the two the hex girl in lumiosa's city spirit was not calmed and thus she was trapped within the mortal realm is crossing over a voluntary or involuntary process is one bound to the mortal plane until unresolved business is completed or when one otherwise comes to term and accepts that they are in fact dead as my grandmother would say heavens to betsy book thank you for hanging in until the end of this very long video as this is my first stab at script writing and video making i would love any feedback or constructive criticism you may have my articulation i already know is probably pretty high up there leave a comment down below and i'll see you next time thanks so do your thing youtube [Music] you
