== The Oh-So-Snake is the offspring of the White and Dark Dragon ==
It's at the castle because of the needle, which is an access point to one of its parents.
 
== Ness caused a time paradox, {{spoiler|destroying everything}} ==
Line 42 ⟶ 43:
 
== The identity of the Dragon ==
Once the dragon is awakened, you get the chance to talk to the characters as yourself, the player. Conclusion: ''[[Tomato in Thethe Mirror|You are the dragon]]'', $troper.
* Why does this webpage know my name?
** All the more proof that you're the Dragon. We all know who you are.
Line 56 ⟶ 57:
Consider the following:
* Porky has collected numerous items from his home dimension, including the Runaway Five tour bus, Tessie, Dungeon Man, the Sky Runner, the Phase Distorter, and most importantly, Dr. Andonuts.
** This would also explain why, strangely, Dr. Andonuts makes no mention of his son at all in specific. He could have died long ago. I do sketchily recall a line that implied that Lucas and his friends reminded Andonuts of "them" (as in, the previous protagonists) but I could just be imagining that.
* Porky has apparently been making sport of tearing apart entire planes of existence for untold decades.
* In New Pork City, there's a man nearby the Pork King statue who says a "bunch of brats" once attempted to attack Porky.
Line 66 ⟶ 67:
*** Porky did time travel and space (or dimensional) travel. And it's really not known how long the end of the world took place after the second game. Ness and his friends could have just died naturally.
* They were killed at the end of the Giygas battle. The rest of the ending is just a dream of Ness.
** No they stopped gygas, otherwise the whole world would be EVEN WORSE off, just a red sky and darkness and corruption everywhere "Shiver"
*** All the more reason. {{spoiler|The world was destroyed by something, after all.}}
** Alternatively, Ness never made it to Giygas at all. The surgery to convert Ness and the gang into robots was an utter failure, and the rest of the game was their collective [[Dying Dream]] (possible since it's not very long). This makes more sense than them dying ''after'' Giygas since it would explain why Giygas could've gone on to destroy the world. Though, if this were true, that would mean Dr. Andonuts killed his own son, and probably would be messed up in the head when you see him in Mother 3. [[Stepford Smiler|unless]] [[Cloudcuckoolander|he is.]]
* But that said this sure makes a... [[Oh Crap|Oh God.]] [[Tear Jerker|OHHHHHHH]][[Skyward Scream|GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD]][[Big No|NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO]]
** Actually the film is a tribute to Ness who in a sorta messed up way was one of the three people who ever showed Porky any kindness. Despite the japanese mother 2 translation(Although given his jackass actions, Ness had every right to turn his back on Porky) Ness was one of the few people who played with/Tolerated Porky and would of happily let him come if he wanted too. He actually wanted to be Ness. Plus Pokeys a [[Dirty Coward]]:He would never admit it but he's afraid of Ness. And plus Ness never would have went forward in time:the robots were who knows where and andronauts was kidnapped, there was no way for them to do anything. Makes my big noooooo feel a bit excessive but stil....
 
== Ness and his friends caused Pokey to appear in the Nowhere Islands ==
Line 86 ⟶ 87:
After a million years in the Absolutely Safe Capsule, Pokey is found by some aliens, His shriveled form is mistaken for a baby alien, and he is adopted and renamed Giygas. Cue Mother 1 and Earthbound. Giygas is "[[Nightmare Fuel|H...A...P...P...Y...]]" to see Ness because he recognizes him, as the only boy Porky was ever even kind of friends with.
* Well of course. Look at Giygas' sprite in Mother 1. He's inside some strange capsule. And what is he inside of in Earthbound? Another strange capsule. He does all of this from inside the Absolutely Safe Capsule as it is modified by the aliens over the years.
** And how do you explain Giygas's thin, chalk-white, tailed alien form from Earthbound Zero? And are you saying that Maria's time with "Giygas" happened entirely while he was inside the capsule?
* This does make sense the more you think about it. After all, Porky is the only boss in the game that uses an indescribable attack.
* Unfortunately, this wouldn't work. A film in Mother 3 specifically documents the adventures of Ness and his friends.
Line 93 ⟶ 94:
Seriously.
* He -is- a time traveler, though.
** Didn't stop [[Chrono Trigger (Video Game)|Lavos.]]
*** Didn't help him, you mean.
 
Line 99 ⟶ 100:
When the rest of the world ended, the island remained. It is destroyed when the sleeping dragon is awakened. This follows the pattern of Maria's and Ness's Magicants vanishing after they discovered the secrets of their minds and were awakened. Notice that the Magypsies' houses are identical to the seashell houses in Mother 1 - not to mention the Magypsies themselves, who would fit in perfectly.
* Problem is, the island doesn't as much 'vanish' as 'explode in a fiery inferno of horrible doom', which I don't recall happening to Magicant in Earthbound. Maybe in the Japanese version.
** That's because there was a overlapping reality to revert to in the first two games. By giving their wills up to the universe, they'll be reborn; whether via [[Reincarnation]] or simply incarnation; who knows? Very Shinto/Buddhist. See: ''[[Star Ocean 3]]''. ...or ''[[The Neverending Story (Literaturenovel)|The Neverending Story]]''....or ''[[Super Mario Brothers|Mario Galaxy]]'' ....hmm...I smell a trope
** Could be explained that before we didn't remain in Magicant as it fell apart. We fanish/leave as there is a white light or such, and assumed it just ended there. In reality, there was still a nightmarish end of the world for the citizens to go through.
* So, wait, you're saying that the Dragon is [[The Legend of Zelda|the Wind Fish?]]
Line 109 ⟶ 110:
== Hinawa is Ness and Paula's granddaughter (or great-granddaughter). ==
This would probably explain why Lucas {{spoiler|and Claus}} can learn PSI powers -- perhaps the abilities are genetic, kind of like how Ness was able to use a tiny bit of psychic power even as a baby (and that in itself probably spawns a whole bunch of other theories.) On a more minor note, it ''could'' also explain why Lucas has blond hair, like Paula did, but this is probably the magic of [[Hair Colors]] at work.
* Though I never played it, it's explained somehow or another
* Actually, in Chapter 2 (as soon as it turns to daytime) you can find the little blonde girl Nana in the west edge of Tazmily Village's center screen. Talk to her, and she'll say "I'm Nana. I'm not sure why, but none of the family members in this village really look alike." It's quite possible that barely any entire families made it onto the White Ship, and that some--say Flint and Hinawa--decided that their new lives would be as parents.
 
Line 116 ⟶ 117:
* ... but he [[Came Back Wrong]]... '''''[[Surreal Horror|very very]] [[Eldritch Abomination|wrong]]'''''. Resulting in the removed boss fight.
** While this is a plausible way to look at the ending, I never liked to think of it that way. I always imagine that Lucas, having come so far from being the weak boy he was in the start of the tale, is now capable of coping with death. It also goes against the whole point of Hinawa telling Claus to come to her in the final battle, and the idea that Claus SHOULD have died ages ago. If Lucas revived Claus, he'd be no better than Porky, keeping Claus alive for selfish reasons, and also focusing too much on his past. Claus died long ago, and I think Lucas would have wanted him to rest in peace.
** Unfortunately, the "removed boss fight" was much more likely the removed backgrounds for the Masked Man fight, as demonstrated [http://epileptictrees.blogspot.com/2010/01/mother-3-unused-backgrounds-amazingly.html here].
 
== Fassad joined with Porky to get rid of the other Magypsies ==
One thing I have never understood is why Fassad would turn on the other Magypsies. The Magypsies are fine with their end being tied to their needles, so Fassad must feel differently. Of course, Porky was able to twist Fassad and get him to get horribly injured to give up on life. Why would Porky do this? Porky is a [[Jerkass]]
* I always imagined Fassad was afraid of death and Pokey promised his needle would not be pulled if he aided him in his schemes, while, of course, still intending to pull his needle anyway. His life ended up not being consequential to Pokey's plans, though. Fassad was also sort of a jerkass himself, so that could also be his reasons for joining up. He sort of filled the role Pokey filled in Earthbound as "annoying recurring antagonist". Had he not died himself, I could easily see him filling the role as the main villain of a Mother 4 or something, much like Pokey's transition from lackey to head honcho.
** Two possibilities [[Mc Jeff|I]] thought of...
*** 1) Fassad was something like the comic book [[Whatever Happened to Thethe Man of Tomorrow?]]. The other Magypsies took up primping and cross-dressing just so they'd have something to do. Fassad may have simply gotten tired of it and decided to do something else.
*** 2) It's also possible that he was a [[Token Evil Teammate]] all along. (Music Jargon warning) Did you know that the Locrian mode is the only mode that has a tritone rather than a perfect fifth as the mid-interval? And that the tritone was historically associated with evil, and called the Devil's Chord?
 
Line 128 ⟶ 129:
The game code includes a few extra backgrounds, such as an angel Claus, a gigantic white-eyed Lucas face, and others. It has been reported that the hallucination sequence used to be even worse than what it is - maybe these were part of it?
* You mean during the Shroom Trip on Tanetane Island? I was thinking that too. ESPECIALLY after how they saw "Claus" in that forest. The unused "boss" does seem more like something those mushrooms would cause than the "Eerie Smile".
* This seems to be the most plausible theory, as Itoi already explained that he cut a considerable bit of mindscrew off from the already disturbing Tanetane trip, including dialogs so disturbing that himself was afraid of reading them.
 
== The scary backgrounds are the result of infiltrating Claus's mind ==
Line 134 ⟶ 135:
 
== Flint is Ness, and the residents of Tazmily Village all came on the White Ship from the world of Earthbound. ==
The reason why some of the townspeople look like characters from Earthbound is because they ARE those characters, they've just had their memories erased, and have crossed space and time so it made them age strangely the same way Porky did.
The reason Porky is able to come to the Nowhere Islands is because Ness and company have forgotten him completely, thinking that it would be better to start a new life in a safe place than try to chase him across space and time forever and risk destroying themselves in the process; this is also why Porky practically has shrines to them and their adventure in New Pork City (he thinks he's beaten them, when really, they just stopped paying any attention to him) and why Lucas and Claus are capable of PK Love; it's the same PSI technique that Ness used, under a different name.
* And then there's the Franklin Badge, which may or may not mean anything; Flint did have it as a kid, after all.
* This, at least the bit about the Islanders being from Eagleland, was originally explicit. Screenshots of a ruined version of Onett were amongst the first circulated for Mother 3 when it was developed for the 64DD. This was cut from the GBA version along with other material Itoi deemed too dark.
Line 141 ⟶ 142:
 
== The unused battle sprites were from a section of the game nearly entirely removed. ==
Dung Beetle and Tent Person look a little too much like a younger Giygas and Giygas going [[One -Winged Angel]]. Then you have the a series of nightmarish battles involving Lucas and Claus entering an even more surreal series of thoughts. It was either removed because of time or it was decided that section didn't fit.
* One possibility that it was intended that No Where Island is the Dragon's Magicant, only there was going to be a reveal the dragon was actually Giygas similar to what happened to Queen Mary. The Claus section of the fight is the prayer section, a test of character or resolve with a mental attack against Lucas using his brother Claus. Dung Beetle and Tent Person being Giygas himself.
** This may have been removed as it was felt the final Masked Man fight sufficed dramatically, and having another battle afterward as being over kill.
** Tent Person = Boogie Tent perhaps? After all, why would the game show the battle of Ness, Paula, and Jeff against Boogie Tent in the theater in New Pork City? Besides, it was a weird thing set up by zombies in Threed back in [[EarthboundEarthBound]], so it could have continued on to meet and fight with Lucas and crew.
 
== Duster is a [[Half -Human Hybrid]]. ==
More specifically, his mother is a Mr. Saturn. His head resembles Mr. Saturns in a way, he has similar whiskers and he gets very well along with them in Saturn Valley. His paralyzed leg might also have something to do with his unusual parentage. Since Mr. Saturns are very strange creatures, their ways of reproducing are probably completely different from ours, and Wess must have been very surprised when a Mr. Saturn he had previously met appeared at his doorstep with a baby, saying that it was their child. (This happened before the destruction of the world and the White Ship, obviously.)
* Who would have sex with a Mr. Saturn?
Line 158 ⟶ 159:
 
== Dr. Andonuts is Jeff. ==
There's nothing to imply that it ''isn't'' Jeff's dad from ''[[EarthboundEarthBound]]'', obviously, but Porky ''is'' a time-traveler. He could have kidnapped Jeff as an old man, seeing it as fitting revenge for Jeff's role in the war against Giygas.
* There's also the fact that many of the pigmasks use items such as ray guns, bazookas, and shield killers, items that Jeff built and used himself.
** On the other hand, Jeff was present in the final battle against Porky in Mother 2 - what exactly would make him want to switch sides and help the psycho kid who fought alongside Giygas?
** He Face Heel Turned against his will. Fridge Brilliance, Jeff's last name would be Andonuts!
** Andonuts DOES say that he 'refuses' to continue helping Porky before the boss fight with him. That word implies unwilling servitude. Jeff wouldn't want to help Porky, but he can't really fight back against Porky and his army. His mannerisms are also slightly different from [[EarthboundEarthBound]]'s Dr. Andonuts, which is more evidence toward this idea.
 
== The traveling vendor guy is Ness. ==
Line 178 ⟶ 179:
 
== Mother 3 is an extended retelling of Ness's journey through Magicant, and Ness is the Dragon. ==
Each playable character represents an aspect of Ness's identity, while NPCs reflect Ness's memories and thoughts -- remember, two of the villagers looked suspiciously like Jeff and Paula.
* Lucas and Claus are both Ness's heart, and Claus being corrupted was Ness's Nightmare.
* Kumatora represents Ness's brash, violent side -- she's female because he distances himself from those traits.
* Duster is both Ness's logic and creativity, whose handicap is from someone -- probably Pokey -- constantly insulting and ignoring Ness's ideas, leaving him short on confidence in those areas (which is why Duster is frequently insulted and berated by his father).
* Boney is Ness's sense of loyalty and duty, and Boney is always by Lucas's side through thick and thing.
* Flint is Ness's courage, determination, and paternal instincts.
* Salsa is Ness's sensitivity -- his trust, love, and capacity for friendship. It's the part of him that was willing to remain friends with an ass like Pokey, and the part that can be manipulated most easily.
* Hinawa, while not a playable character, is Ness's conscience and embodies everything he considers good and sacred.
* Porky is Ness's image of the Ultimate Evil -- a monster in the form of his (former) best friend, Pokey, who has no regard for life or sense of value for friendship.
* The race to pull the seven needles and make sure the Dragon takes on Lucas' heart represents Ness fighting the evil that lurks inside, and not let himself be corrupted by the influence of Giygas. The final moments of the game, the world isn't destroyed -- it's reabsorbed into Ness's mind and adds to his power. The characters are all alive inside of him.
* The doorknob, which has been considered to be a metaphor for happiness by some other fans, could also represent Ness's happiness or it represents the mission he is taking, especially since it keeps popping up wherever the protagonist of the chapter is. In addition, it would explain why there is no world of the subconscious in this game although that idea has always been an important theme in the Mother series. The melodies still exist despite the seeming destruction of the world because the world is all in Ness's mind and he learned the melodies. The islands can be explained as a test for Ness, which works with Tanetane Island and if the doorknob represents Ness's development, it does flow better, especially since it can be found at the castle, which Itoi said was meant to represent the flow of time. However, the problem is that is that Itoi explained that the logo was intended to show the earth going back to its natural state, but it can be resolved if it is assumed that he means Ness returning the world to normal after going through Magicant, time traveling, and defeating Giygas.
Line 192 ⟶ 193:
 
== Possibly, the Dragon is [[Spyro the Dragon|Malefor]] ==
After all, upon summoning the dragon, {{spoiler|he wants to destroy the world and start another one}}. Upon that happening, we get another world in which Lucas gets to grow up, but over time, dragons start populating the world along with some other odd creatures and soon the humans get driven into extinction, which soon leads to the creatures wanting to battle each other suddenly and lead to a lot of chaotic events. Besides (if you're wondering), Malefor can expose creatures to darkness, and possibly corrupt and transform humans into dragons if need be.
 
== At the end of the game, Porky is mocking you. ==
Not Lucas, not Claus, not Flint, not anyone in the party.
 
''You.''
 
He knows about the last, unknown person who prayed for the Chosen Four back in [[EarthboundEarthBound]] -- and he knows it was you. He suspected you would return to guide Lucas through his journey and made a point to flaunt the fact that he went back and warped the timeline to make it all meaningless. ''That'' was the reason behind the Memory Boat Ride. Hey, look, player -- he has the Sky Runner, the Phase Distorter, the Helicopter, the Submarine... all unscathed. He has the Pencil Eraser -- an unique item that ''only Ness'' had. He has Ness's yo-yo. He has pretty much every plot-relevant item that Ness needed on his journey to defeat Giygas... meaning that he robbed Ness of the opportunity to use them.
All your hard work twelve years ago amounted to nothing.
 
Ness still failed. And Porky made damn well sure he got the message across.
Line 212 ⟶ 213:
 
== If Pokey has a phase distory in the room of memories ==
Which means the characters could go back and put everyone from a different timeline in the right timeline. Or other crazy stuff. I'm running out of tinfoil.
 
== Due to the events in Mother 3, Mother 2 was erased from the timeline and Mother 1 happened in its place. ==
All right, kids, sit down and get comfortable. This one is complicated.
 
In the original timeline, Claus pulled the last needle. The power of merging his own heart with the Dragon's drove his already damaged mind to insanity. Dragon-Claus began blindly calling out to Lucas, but being unable to think clearly, the pronunciation became garbled. Those that heard him thought he was screaming Giygas, and that became their name for him.
 
Porky then manipulated Giygas into attacking Eagleland 10 years after Giygas' defeat in Mother 2, to catch Ness off guard and flaunt his inevitable victory. Porky was successful in this attack. But Lucas managed to follow Porky to Ness' home planet and place in the timeline, and aid in the battle against Porky and Giygas. When Lucas & the Chosen Four are defeated, Porky turns Lucas into a bug. Lucas manages to escape to 10 years in the past as Buzz Buzz, and is the catalyst for the events in Mother 2.
Line 242 ⟶ 243:
 
== Everyone dies in the end. ==
Lucas was in a bad mood after Claus's death and wished that everyone would die so they could all exist in peace in Heaven.
 
Think about it: The world was destroyed at the end even though Lucas (who was supposedly good) pulled most of the needles. We then see that everyone is "fine", and then we see a cast roll in which all of the characters of the game, dead or alive, appear.
Line 248 ⟶ 249:
== The Dragon is or was originally going to be Giygas ==
 
Simply stated, Giygas and Love are the two recurring themes of the Mother series. As evil, destructive, and devastating as Giygas is he's the being that implies even going beyond the [[Moral Event Horizon]] isn't completely permanent. That there is [[Moral Hawking Radiation]], and in this series it is love. Love that burns Giygas in the first two games. The first two games revolved around the idea of a mother's love and it's impact on the adopted son, Giygas, as a side story.
 
The unused sprites may be pulled from random files, but the sprites of Giygas like beings exist. One golden and angelic. One with a large X scar like a lobotomy. Good, evil. A loving Giygas and the anthromorphing of the Earthbound Giygas who effectively removed part of himself to avoid "love".
Line 259 ⟶ 260:
 
== "Princess" Kumatora is a boy. ==
"She" was given to Magypsies to raise her. The Magypsies are a race of crossdressers. Who's to say Kumatora isn't just a boy in girlish clothes? As fair as I remember, there isn't any romance between her and any other characters.
** Chances are, the people who decided to give her to the Magypsies wouldn't have made that mistake. And anyway, the Magypsies are all men who dress and act like women despite being obviously physically male; Kumatora is tough, and rough-spoken, and generally has the personality of a punk, despite her being a girl. (And I always sort of interpreted her outfit as being a rain slicker more than a dress, anyway.)
** "Magypsies are all men"? Um, no they aren't. It's explicitly stated in-game (by Alec if I recall correctly) that they are neither man nor woman (despite their appearances). There's absolutely nothing in-game that says that they're just men who dress as women - you're just seeing something that isn't there.
 
== Flint is Chuck Norris ==
* But it's impossible! He died a couple of times in my playthrough! Are you suggesting that [[Chuck Norris]] could be defeated by a freakin' mouse?
** He probably made himself less badass to keep the new world from being destroyed
** Alternatively, once Flint reaches level 101, he will [[Pokémon|evolve]] into Chuck Norris. Then, at level 9001, Chuck Norris will evolve into his ultimate form, [[Badass Grandpa|Wess]].
Line 272 ⟶ 273:
 
== Flint is Ness and Claus is Giygas ==
When Claus's heart joins with the dragon's along with Lucas's, the immense power surge may have messed him up further, and turning him into a godlike deity at the same time. While Lucas wished for all the good stuff, Claus may have wished to be able to be loved and have a family again, but his wish was corrupted by his unstable mind. He goes back in time as Giygas and is found by George and Maria, who become his parents, while he loses most vestiges of his past personality through Mother 1's plot, probably having absorbed part of Porky's personality due to the brainwashing, but still wishing deep in his mind to be reunited with his family again. As he's defeated in Mother 1, he carries on with Porky's wishes to rule/destroy the universe, eventually contacting with Ness-era Porky, effectively slowly turning him into what future Porky is like.
 
Ness, a boy from Onett capable of using PSI like Ninten, goes on to beat Giygas, but fails to defeat Porky, whom he gets the letter from in the end of Earthbound and chases after again. Porky, realizing the chase will never end and that he can't beat Ness and his friends, somehow brainwashes them, and in sadistic glee, throw them in the reality he plans to settle in so they can suffer when his plans come into being. Without Ness and the others to protect their original reality, Porky raids it and collects souvenirs from it.
Line 280 ⟶ 281:
* In the final battle against Giygas in Earthbound, Giygas both wishes to be with Ness AND to destroy him. Claus wanted to join his family more then anything after Porky kidnapped and brainwashed him, and he was probably resentful of his father for not finding him and saving him, allowing him to get kidnapped and brainwashed, loving and hating Flint at the same time. Plus he was quite insane by the time he became the masked man, probably even worse later.
 
* Pokey talks ,during the final battle against Giygas, about how he absorbed too much power and went completely insane, unable to control himself or grasp his original mind and shape again. The massive power surge of being united with the Dragon while being deranged by Pokey's brainwashing probably only worsened his condition and could most likely cause him to lose himself completely. This would explain the unused creepy backgrounds, which could have been originally used to represent Claus's complete corruption after the fight, joining up with the dragon.
 
** As said above, Giygas lost his mind due to absorbing so much power and evil that he does not know who and what he is anymore. Claus went through this after being brainwashed, not being able to recognize himself until the fight with Lucas, when he died instead of being saved.
Line 337 ⟶ 338:
 
== The Dark Dragon was in all three games, {{spoiler|as a deity/god for Giygas' people}} ==
We all know his appearance and purpose in Mother 3. But what about the first two? In [[EarthMOTHER Bound Zero1]], the dragon you fight is either a weaker form of the Dark Dragon or a dream version of him. {{spoiler|If it was a dream version, than it's possible Giygas told Maria about the Dark Dragon, a legendary god for his people.}} In [[EarthboundEarthBound]], The Bags Of Dragonite are bags of ground up rocks powered by the Dark Dragon's energy for thousands of years, kind of like the way sedimentary and ingeous rocks slowly become metamorphic rocks in [[Real Life]], hence their rarity, {{spoiler|or because they were all harvested under orders of Giygas}}. It's also entirely possible that {{spoiler|Giygas got his power through feeding off the Dragon, or the Dragonite.}}
 
== Mother 3 is actually meant as a giant metaphor for mortality in John Donne's sense of the word ==
It's really not as absurd as it seems. There are two extremely obvious references to [[John Donne (Creator)|John Donne]]'s Meditation 10. The first one is Leder, who rings the bell to remind the villagers about what happened to the previous world. There is also the island, which could be a direct reference to the part where Donne says "no man is an island". Note that Itoi normally never puts in a reference that is accidental and there are several plot points that are comparable to ones in the same meditation.
 
== Flint was originally supposed to accompany you up the Empire Porky Building, instead of Duster. ==
Line 356 ⟶ 357:
Millennia after the world is recreated, the Absolutely Safe Capsule is discovered in an expedition funded by a fledgling Sylph Co. After extensive research, psychic pokemon were used to communicate with Porky, who over the course of a few months, worked out how to escape the capsule by teleporting him out of the capsule using a psychic pokemon.
 
Porky quickly rose near the top of the corporation after he used his intimate knowledge of the ASC and space-time altering technology to invent the modern pokeball. When the CEO of Sylph Co retired, Porky quietly filled his position. The current culture of forcibly capturing and battling pokemon is this latest attempt at destroying a world, a plot that contains his usual MO of animal abuse, consumerism, and subtle cultural transformation.
 
Porky also harbored the spirit of the destroyed Giygas. In an attempt to make a familiar vessel for Giygas to reclaim, Mewtwo was created. Giygas attempted to possess Mewtwos body, but was ultimately denied access due to his atrophied state. Without a vessel, but stable enough to exist outside of a body now, Giygas settled down in the waters east of Cinnabar Island for a while, but has since disappeared.
Line 362 ⟶ 363:
 
== The Ultimate Chimera actually isn't so bad. ==
It is a [[Gentle Giant|playful and misunderstood creature]] at heart, albeit [[The Klutz|a bit clumsy]] and with an [[The Grotesque|unfortunate appearance]]. Also, it absolutely ''loves'' greasy junk food. This is also the sole reason it chases you and the other guys in the Chimera Lab. Since you are dressed like Pigmasks, it rightfully assumes you are carrying Bags of Pork Chips with you (note how it is implied that Salsa freed the Chimera, yet there is no sign of it attacking him). It gleefully runs up to you to snatch the snack, but accidentally rips you to shreds while doing so.
 
The next time you meet the Ultimate Chimera, it has become a valuable member of society and applied for a job at the Empire Pork Building (note how there is no damage caused by the chimera anywhere). However, you run into it in the most unfortunate moment, while it is using the bathroom. Deeply embarrassed by that encounter (it blushes, but you can't see it because it's red) the Ultimate Chimera impulsively runs after you to talk to you about what just happened. When it catches up with you and starts apologizing, though, it involuntarily bites your head off (it's hard to ''not'' injure people when talking with such big and uncontrollable jaws).
 
So yeah, it's all just a [[Mistaken for Murderer|big misunderstanding]] and you call the Ultimate Chimera a [[Nightmare Fuel|scary monster]]! [[You Bastard]]!
Line 377 ⟶ 378:
It's the only explanation for everybody talking casually to Lucas {{spoiler|in the dark}}, and the final picture in the credits showing {{spoiler|[[Book Ends|Hinawa releasing the carrier pigeon like in the beginning of the game]].}}
 
== [[Pokémon|Isshu]] is the world of [[Mother 3 (Video Game)|Mother 3]] reborn. ==
{{quote| (from a legend in B/W) "Reshiram and Zekrom were originally one Pokemon. Twin heroes formed a new country together with the dragon where humans and Pokemon could live together. But one day the brothers began to fight over the direction that the country should move in. The dragon began to fight along with them, and its body split in two, Reshiram siding with the older brother and Zekrom with the younger. The two dragons would battle each other until Isshu was destroyed, so they were put to sleep." }}
* That first dragon was the dark dragon after reforming the world and resseructing all those who had died in vain. Claus, wanted the country to be more military oriented, and Lucas want the country to stay peaceful, the Chimeras and animals were changed into the pokemon we know today by the Dark dragon.
** If you look closely in the area of the Forest Shrine in [[Mother 3 (Video Game)|Mother 3]] where someone asks for your name, you'll notice a black dragon and a white dragon pictured on the wall, circling each other. Hmmm...
* Looks like the Dark Dragon did one heck of a lazy job rebuilding, there's still chimeras roaming loose in Isshu...
 
Line 386 ⟶ 387:

Let's start from the beginning. In ''Mother 3'', [[Psychopathic Manchild|Porky]] corrupts the Nowhere Islands and creates a capitalist dictatorship (monarchy?) metropolis [[For the Evulz|for giggles]], and screws around with genetic engineering to create [[Mix -and -Match Critters|biological]] (see page image/quote) and [[Cybernetics Eat Your Soul|mechanical]] chimeras. At some point, the needles are pulled, and the Dragon destroys the entire world in a fiery apocalypse.
 
...''Or does it?''
 
Seeing how [[Bolivian Army Ending|deliberately ambiguous]] the ending is about the fate of the people of Nowhere, it's even more ambiguous as to what happened to the planet that was "destroyed" (though it's obvious that at the very least, the landscape was annihilated). Let's say for the purpose of this theory that the characters have all either a) [[Kill 'Em All|died and are conversing in the afterlife at the end of the game]], or b) [[Deus Ex Machina|been rescued by the Dragon/another "White Ship" to start anew on yet another world/planet/plane of existence/whatever.]]
 
So what's left of the wreckage? Perhaps some ruins, some inconsequential artifacts, and some creatures with cockroach-like endurance. Nature makes do with what's left, and a whole new ecosystem forms from the wreckage. New species evolve, and everything is more or less in a state of balance- albeit with undertones of what havoc that Porky has wreaked on nature.
Line 409 ⟶ 410:
Well, not ''all'' of it. In fact, there wasn't an apocalypse at all.
 
Porky committed some serious crimes in [[EarthboundEarthBound]] and is probably wanted by the national law enforcement agency in Eagleland. The only problem is that he's in the future on a distant island. So what do they do? Turn said island into a trap.
 
They took a nuclear warhead, miles of cable, and some sort of power source to convert Nowhere Island into a doomsday device. Of course, they needed a way to stop it from being detonated prematurely. So they took seven crystals and started a rumor about the world ending soon...
Line 419 ⟶ 420:
Flint and Hinawa's names have [[Theme Naming|a common theme]], guns. The flint''locke'' and match''locke'' guns, respectively.
