Pokémon/WMG/Open Two: Difference between revisions

General [[Wild Mass Guess|Wild Mass Guessing]]ing for the [[Pokémon]] [[Series Franchise|franchise]]. This includes theories that span multiple generations and [[Spin-Off|multiple]] [[Canon]].

'''NOTE''': To prevent [[Archive Panic]], all new Guesses are to be put on [[Pokémon/WMG/Open Three/WMG|Page Three]]. Responses to theories on this page are still welcome.

Why do they never mention another generation? Simple, because each generation is its own universe. Each reality collapses on itself via Big Crunch, and is reborn as the next generation. This is why Ash is [[Not Allowed to Grow Up|forever 10]]-because each season's Ash isn't the same as before. That, or Arceus causes a [[Cosmic Retcon]] every once and a while [[For the Lulz|for shits and giggles.]]

** Adding on that, Joe is Mirakle B.'s civilian self and he will defect to team Miror B. as soon as he learns of its existence. Kruger is Cipher's new enforcer, taking the position from Dakim. He was a former leader of a "normal" {[[The Mafia|Mafia}}]] family which got assimilated by/allied with Cipher (The "Kruger Family" trainer class aren't his relatives, their his underlings)

* Magic? This can be explained with science. Pokémon are [[wikipedia:Oviparity|oviparous]], and females will normally lay eggs, which are then [[wikipedia:External fertilization|fertilized externally]] by the males. Unfertilized Pokémon eggs bear almost no resemblance to fertilized ones (which ''can't'' really be explained by science), which would explain both why the egg-laying process has never been seen and why the child inherits so much of its move data from its father--thefather—the egg isn't really a "Pokémon egg", per se, until the father fertilizes it. (Maybe unfertilized Pokémon eggs are extremely small, similar to human ova.) The idea that the females lay the eggs regardless also explains why the only requirement of the instant egg cheat is the presence of at least one female that could normally produce an egg. The other parent could be a male of a different egg group, a genderless or legendary Pokémon, [[Les Yay|another female]], or even [[Truly Single Parent|non-existent,]] but if there is no female or the only female would normally be unable to be a parent, [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything|the resulting egg produces a]] [[Game Breaker|Game Breaking Glitch]].

== Pokemon are [[Proud Warrior Race Guy|Proud Warrior Race Guys]]s. ==

* The pseudo-legendaries are demigods. Garchomp, Salamence, Dragonite, etc., only have mere physical form, but they actually have higher base stats than the Legendary Trio members. I can only conclude that Mew made them first as a sort of police force to keep the Pokemon [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters|(and especially the humans)]] in check until Arceus can come in his human avatar.

** Of course it is, it's a wandering [[Warhammer 4000040,000|Machine Spirit]].

== The programmers in the game are [[Physical God|Physical Gods]]s who laugh at the player's failures ==

* Eh, there are too many [[Continuity Nod|Continuity Nods]]s for this to be plausible.

Say instead, then, that Pokemon species start out with a "cry" that is appropriate for their apparent species...but in associating with humanity, and instinctively trying to communicate better with their trainers, their cry "morphs" into the human name for them, which gets hardwired into the next generation. Krabby is halfway there; originally its cry was just a bunch of clicks, and "kookee" is as close as it can come to "krabbee" now. In 20-3020–30 years, it will finally achieve the "r" and the "b" sounds, and the first vowel will go from "ooo" to "uh" to "ah" to the flat "aa" of Krabby.

Ah, you say. But you mentioned terraforming. What's up with that? Glad you asked. Simple answer- Regigigas was part of the machine. Consider, for a moment, that Regigigas takes a while to start up, rather like a not-so-good computer. Also consider that it requires three ''keys'' of sorts to start up, the golem trio. Finally, Regigigas has plugs for hands. It's mentioned in the dex that Regigigas moved the continents by towing them with a rope- however, again due to the telephone-game effect, it was actually a device called the R.O.P.E. that Regigigas used to tow the continents, by plugging its hands into it. While seemingly organic, Regigigas and its trio are all bio-organic machines, perhaps created from materials found on humanity's new planet. It's unknown what Registeel eats, and Regirock can repair itself with boulders, so there seems to be both machine and living being there- and their Clear Body abilities are shared with the Beldum line, the only other robotic Pokemon. Consider for a moment that they were originally simple automatons, but of course [[AIA.I. Is a Crapshoot]] and they gained sentience, possibly turning on their masters. The Braille in Hoenn suggests the Regis were sealed out of fear of their power. And what better way to make sure the strongest one is kept locked away than by hiding its three keys in separate regions? The legends were passed down to keep people from unleashing this power again, but so much time passed that all the warnings were naturally forgotten.

Or, in the case of wild Pokemon, their skill. It explains [[Mis BlamedMisblamed|why Lance makes his Pokemon learn moves at the wrong levels]] and why some Pokemon know things they shouldn't. It's like adaptation, but... well... better.

As seen in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] games, Charmander ''can'' have their tails get wet -- evenwet—even completely submerged -- withoutsubmerged—without immediately dying. Trainers are simply told otherwise in order to teach them caution. Remember, the starting age for trainers is canonically '''ten''', ''and'' you run into some trainers that are much, much younger. [[Mons]] are dangerous enough without giving a fire-breathing lizard to some [[Curious as a Monkey|curious kid]] who might want to play with his new friend's [[Incendiary Exponent|pretty tail]]...

Because [[Children Are Innocent|children aren't alway innocent]] -- they—they ''can'' [[Kids Are Cruel|be cruel, sometimes horribly so]] -- and—and even when they ''mean'' well, [[Curious as a Monkey|there can]] [[Ambiguous Innocence|be problems]]. To combat this, several PokeDex entries casually mention some of the consequences of this sort of experimentation... like, say, [[Video Game Cruelty Punishment|what would happen if you cut a Raticate's whiskers off]].

Specifically, in a set of seven base pairs, or rather, two sets of three and a "Normal expresser". In each set of three base pairs, each of the sixteen possible letter combinations of the first two results in one of the sixteen elemental types. The third base is a "knockout". If it expresses as "on", the type expression for that set of three is Normal, otherwise, it expresses the type determined by the preceding two bases. So if, say, A and T represent "on" for the type knockout base, then if AA codes for Fire, AAG or AAC would yield the Fire type, while AAA or AAT code for Normal. The second set of three determines secondary type, though if it codes for the same type as the first set, the Pokemon is mono-typed. The seventh base (the "Normal expresser") is another "on or off" gene, which determines if a Normal-type 3-base set will be expressed as part of the Pokemon's actual type, as it is in Normal / X Pokemon like Pidgey (Normal / Flying), Bibarel (Normal / Water), Girafarig (Normal / Psychic) and Deerling (Normal / Grass). It could be that the reason we've never seen a pure Flying type,<ref> Aside from the Gen V legendary, and Pokemon that become it through an ability (like Arceus, Porygon, and Kecleon); but they're rule-breakers anyway!</ref>, is that the Flying gene is "delicate" and needs another type, or the Normal expresser active, in order to be viable.
