Can you imagine Arceus coming out of a lil tiny Pokemon egg haha

I would love this if the whole thing would load.

So, poke balls are really mankind's way of STRIKING BACK AT THE VERY GODS THAT CREATED THEM.

Its also canon now that Pokemon has multiple dimensions. The original and remake Hoenns are in separate dimensions as are Sun and Moon.

You're telling me a mew turned into magikarp?
Petrichor02
Mew naturally knows the move Transform and can transform into any other Pokemon. So, yeah, probably.

To be fair, games and show are different canon, the timeline of this is surely nonsense, and some of it is fan speculation.
Tylendal
Eh. A lot of this is speculation and fan theory anyways.

I always found it hilarious how in gen 3 the box legendaries started being literal gods. "Oh, what's this? Little Timmy caught a death god!"

Wouldn’t this mean that humans evolved from Pokémon, or that Pokémon created humans? Since they created the entire Earth

So, does it means humans evolved from the Mew species?
AetherStar72
Yup. There’s a book in Sinnoh indicating that there was a time where humans and Pokémon could not be distinguished from one another. /1
Fascinating, thanks for the answer...but now I cannot stop but think that, in such universe, one could make pokeballs to catch humans...
So humans derived from Pokémon. Also, in the Japanese version, it also read that Pokemon and people married one another. No joke.
ShinySephiroth
Mixed in anime stuff for Mewtwo + mega stones are supposedly a different timeline, but still awesome list!
TheActualMalloryArcher
Wasnt there a war in recent history? The one Lt Surge talks about?
MiakiPlays
Yeah, His region and Alola's Region, Speculatively.
So... Their version of Vietnam, perhaps?
In short, yes...
I tend to like to think of Alola as Hawaii and Kanto, or wherever, i cant remember, to be Japan
Skllill
Didn’t Lugia have a baby in one episode? So Manaphy is the only leg to breed in games, but not the only to reproduce, right?
Both questions are correct. Based on the PokeDex entries, others can reproduce too like the Latis. 1/2
Also in the Pokemon Sun and Moon post game, Solgaleo and Lunala (who the Dex implies to be male and female) "reproduce" to make Cosmog. 2/2
ProbablyBrian
I think most legendaries that weren't specially created like suicune etc, are normal creatures. Shamin and mew have/had full populations
Then again Ash has met multiple suicunes
Somdudewillson
Missed the fact that Arceus used the Unown to create the Pokemon world.
GrouchyMarx
I think that Unown are literally Arceus' speech. He spoke, and his will came to be in a physical, alive form. They're invisible, but →
everywhere. They hold the fabric of reality together. Ruins of Alph is a distortion in reality, where humans were able to encounter Unown.
They're known as his thousand arms though.
Exactly. They "hold the fabric of universe together", as his 'arms' would. But they're letters - every single command Arceus ever uttered.
What proof do you have to support that? I do know that in movie canon they can manipulate reality in large numbers.

If Kyogre created the oceans how was it born from deep sea pressure? Wouldn’t the oceans have already had to exist?
Chpgmr
What came first, the land or the oceans.
worshipsmuffins
They did but they were small preformed versions of the current Pokemon oceans
BayazTheBenevolent
*gasp* Plot holes in my Pokemon lore?! No way!
*fan lore. This is really just a big collaboration of various lores and some fan theories that one guy tried to tie together.

He was expanding the oceans. There was already some ocean there.

Other than the large gaps and unexplained appearances of legendaries vs normal Pokémon, this was pretty damn cool.

do large gaps make you butthurt?

The mew evolved or devolved into different pokemon based on the habitats they lived in and its needs. Mew is the ancestor to all pokemon.

How where humans made again?
JackSmiles2
iono mew evolved into human jesus maybe? or a distant relative to ape like pokemon and human.
No it was Pokemon Jeeeeeeeeezus.

Large gaps, just like real religion!

But Pokémon evolve
MemeDissector
do they shit. They evolve using Lamarck's theory of acquired characteristics, technically. But that was proven false.
Strongharbour432
Then just like real evolution!
abarukajou
They need to make a new series tailored towards adults called "World War Pokémon" where Pokémons are weaponized. Just imagine one side (1/2)
Losing the battle then the CO says "RELEASE THE DRAGONITE!!!" Next thing you know he's going all atomic breath (godzilla) on the battlefield
That isn't that far off already.
Wasn't this semi-literally the plot of Black2/White2? Except it was "RELEASE THE KYUREM!" and a city was destroyed?
AmILateToTheParty
It wasn't destroyed, rather it was frozen. Other than that yeah, it was kinda like that. There also is Pokemon Conquest, a spinoff abt war.
janerowdy
So the egg came first.

The gold and silver remakes were the best. That's why they go for +$80 on eBay. If you find one for less, it's fake speaking from experience

Gen 1 had a looot of bugs, gen 2 was the perfect one for me. Gen 3 was very polished as well, but started getting too abstract for me
LegendarySuperSwine
never understood "muh gen 1" gen 1 was rubbish Gen 2 was when it got cleaned up. totally get why some1 would stop after gold/silver/crystal
Kompi
I for the most part agree. I really like some additions in newer games tough. Its just Pokemon was about something different before
I can't. Just like 1 was rubbish to 2, g/s/c was rubbish to those after.
Shinotsa
Well it depends. For a kid who likes the game it was amazing. For number crunchers and muchkins it was hell
PresidentJohnFKennedy
I think stopping at Gen 3 is best. Gen 3 legendaries are far and away the best
SoupCanMan
I stopped after gold/silver because U.S. college made me poverty. By the time I had money again it was 8 years later.
Spriggit
Nostalgia is a helluva drug. Most people just have the most fond childhood memories of gen 1. I agree with you though.
XnFM
Daimond/pearl were the last ones I could really get into. They fixed the battle system, post game was engaging, and the remakes that gen ...
Gen 6 Remakes of gen ruby and sapphire were my last was playing from gen one up. if i didnt sell my 3ds to help pay for my switch id buy G.7
Combined well to make a rich game environment.
Gen 1 is literally the most unimaginative one when it comes to designs. It was rushed and many designs seem like fillers.
I disagree. The designs were blander and more samey but laid out a wonderful varied base to expand upon. I like most gen 1 designs.
I sense much butt hurt in you
Nah. I'm just tired of genwunners always bashing on newe gens because they refuse to remove their nostalgia glasses and be objective.
SisterSinister
Trubbish would like a word with you.
Trubbish/Garbodor aren't even that bad. Based on modern Japanese urban legends about trash coming alive due to toxic waste. Improved Grimer.
Improved as in what Grimer and Muk were supposed to look like if Gameboy graphics had allowed it.
