Before adding a new guess, first make sure that it does not belong to one of the more specific Pokémon WMG pages listed on [[Pokémon/WMG|WMG]].

 

''Please add new entries to the bottom of the page''.

== All Pokemon, not just Porygon, are made from data. ==

Evidence:

** All those "Pokémon are actually virtual data" examples apply just because ''it's a videogame'', but they don't really make sense from an in-world point of view. Many Pokédex entries point out how they exist in a biological sense (evident in many types, like Water or Grass; Tropious is able to produce fruit. The humans eat that fruit. Are they eating virtual data? How does Squirtle create virtual water?). If they can be created by humans, then all humans should be able to create their own freely, without the need to walk around and throw Pokéballs at them. And most of all...if they are virtual, this means there's some kind of electrically-powered machine that constantly keeps them alive...[[Fridge Horror|oh crap]].

 

Instead, Arceus creates the eggs.

 

* In Solaceon town, an NPC wonders if someone might be leaving the eggs there, so I kinda pictured that some ninja sneaks into the daycare when no one is looking and puts an egg down next to the female Pokemon, and then leaves without saying a word, much to the Pokemon's confusion. I don't know where the ninja gets the eggs from though...

** So Arceus is really just a giant Poke-stork and not a god like we all thought before? The place Cynthia takes us in HGSS isn't really Arceus creating something, but just picking up said Pokemon from the mystical Poke-baby factory in the sky? I guess that makes sense.

 

== The TMs and HMs are how-to DVDs. ==

The trainer simply lets a Pokemon watch the DVD. Now, if someone more well-versed with DVD technology could help me explain the TMs' one-use nature...

* It could be related to Flexplay technology, in which the DVD player literally burns away the DVD, making it unusable after one use.

* This fits pretty well with the Teachy TV key item in Fire Red and Leaf Green...

* [[Explosive Instrumentation|They explode after use?]]

== Non-Porygon Pokemon can be duplicated, but doing so causes the effects of [[Ghost in the Shell|Ghost Dubbing]]. ==

Porygon's Pokedex entry states it has some form of DRM to prevent copying, but why would other Pokemon, who can be stored as data all the same, be unable to be copied? Simple; they ''can'' be copied, it's just that copying will kill the original. Porygon, having no ghost, is an exception, and needs DRM. Scientist are willing to clone fossils because the original is clearly already dead and/or creating a biological clone (which starts at level 5, just like a newborn) is safer than duplicating the computer data.

 

== Pokeballs are a [[Lotus Eater Machine]] for Pokemon. ==

* Confirmed several times in the anime. Togepi and Manaphy come to mind immediately.

** And eggs from the Day Care place give you free Pokeballs. Case in point: Phanpy.

 

== Most Legendaries aren't unique. ==

== Pokemon aren't trying to escape capture, they are judging if you are worthy of them. ==

That's why legendarys are hard to catch. Masterball? You must be worthy if you have the ultimate ball. Also a possible explanation for why you can't catch fainted pokemon.

 

== Mitsumi knew who Kaisei was before DPA started. ==

Eventually the Nanomachine Virus spread to the entire planet, and all animals were changed to Pokemon. This is where and when the claims of 'Enough electricity to render an elephant unconscious' comes from. Some of these Pokemon were incredibly powerful, and they altered geography and destroyed society at large.

 

 

Also, anything mythical like Arceus or Dialga that has odd and wild claims? The Pokedex has knowledge of local myths. These pokemon are post devistation.

== Pokemon who evolve through trading do so because they are excited! ==

We know emotions can trigger evolution, so maybe when certain Pokemon get traded, the excitement of having new friends and seeing new places gets them to evolve.

 

== The reason Marril are more common in Hoenn and Sinnoh is because they're [[wikipedia:Invasive species|invasive species]] ==

I don't just mean the Unown and Giratina's reality, I mean the whole [[The Multiverse]] she-bang. Okay, in [[Pokémon Black and White]], it's all but outright stated that the two games takes place in parallel universes. Their single dividing point is the founders. The brother who stood for truth was victorious in the Black timeline, [[Science Marches On|and thus Opecluid became advanced.]] The brother who stood for ideals was victorious in the White timeline, and thus Opecluid remains traditional.

 

 

What happened to Diamond/Pearl/Red/Blue? The first two may have never existed, or they seperated due to the course [[Big Bad|Cy]][[Omnicidal Maniac|rus]] took in life. Pokemon Blue and Red might as well be the same game. What happened to them? [[Fridge Horror|Heh...]] Remember good old [[The Missingno|Missingno?]] Well, there was [[Eldritch Abomination|A glitch. An aberration. Something that should not have existed, but somehow did.]] It [[Omnicidal Maniac|rose from the sea and destroyed all things.]] A lone survivor [[Well-Intentioned Extremist|did what he needed to in order to stop it,]] [[Multiversal Conqueror|and creation feared him for it.]] [[Atop the Fourth Wall|A piece of the world is missing.]]

 

== Mew is from our universe ==

Which is how Arceus could be bolth a descendant of Mew and the creator of the pokemon universe. (Some) Pokemon world humans could have come from our universe as well, which is why they know about real world animals etc., or Mew or Arceus could have found ways to tell them about these things.

 

== Potions, Heal Balls, etc. are not magical. ==

They're basically field medicine. Very advanced field medicine, and they work by sealing wounds and such, but more serious injuries like severed limbs, severe breaks, spinal damage and so on need trained professionals to treat. Hence Pokemon Centres and hospitals.

 

== The political power of Gym Leaders varies per region ==

 

This would allow players to recapture Pokemon they may have regretted releasing (with either a 1:1, 0:1, or [[Random Number God|random]] chance of it still having the item it held the last time you saw it) while re-enforcing the idea that Pokemon are merely knocked out in battle and are actually released, rather than never knowing if you've ever met the same wild Pokemon twice and [[Poison Oak Epileptic Trees|released Pokemon are]] [[Released to Elsewhere]]. The mechanic could be interpreted as your Pokemon [[Tear Jerker|wanting to return to you]] (and possibly [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|being accepted back into the team]]), your Pokemon wanting to [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|test your skill and help you along your path toward becoming a stronger trainer]], your Pokemon [[Video Game Cruelty Punishment|wanting to beat you for having mistreated it and the forcing it to leave the only home it had, you jerk]], [[It's a Small World After All|random chance]], or any of the myriad other reasons for meeting a wild Pokemon that you once trained.

 

== The Pokemon games/anime/manga take place in a post apocalyptic world. ==

== Pokemon have promoted MUCH better parenting skills ==

All from raising your Pokemon to be their best.

== Oak already has full Pokédex ==

 

== The Pokeball system is actually [[Summon Magic]]. ==

== The six-Pokémon limit is an attempt to prevent Pidgey/Rattata/Zigzagoon/Bidoof/etc. zerg rushes. ==

[[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]].

== In the pokemon universe, there are four timelines. ==

As of generation 5 we know there are 2 alternate universes. Game Freak is lying to us about this. there are four known alternate universes.what was the dividing point was when Unova was created, spliting the universe into three.
