Wild Mass Guesses pertaining to [[Pokémon (anime)|the Pokemon Anime]] and previous films. WMGs for future movies and Anime seasons belong under [[Pokémon/WMG/Future Films/WMG|WMG]]. For all other Pokemon Media, see [[Pokémon/WMG|WMG]].
 
'''The "Eagun is Ash" theory goes on [[Pokémon Colosseum/WMG|the Colosseum page]]. There are also pages for [[Pokémon/Crossovers/WMG/Crossovers|crossovers]] and [[Pokémon/WMG/Ash Father/WMG|Ash's father]].'''
 
== Cilan is a negaishipper ==
Line 22:
** So that would mean Pikachu would evolve entirely on his own, without a Thunder Stone. His rage causes his power to spike, and his body evolves out of necessity in order to accommodate it. Granted, that's happened before, but Pikachu was likely holding back the evolution. Or the evolution happens because his body has adapted to the situation after the first time. That. Would. Be. FRIGGIN. AWESOME.
*** Pikachu used [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|Spiral Energy]]. It's Super Effective! Who the hell do you think he is?!
**** Semi-confirmed, since you can buy merchandise depicting Pikachu wearing Kamina's [[Cool Shades]] and [[Badass Cape]] on [https://web.archive.org/web/20120417151736/http://sharkrobot.com/t-shirts/gurrenmon VG Cats and their affiliated website, Shark Robot.]
***** How does a bad comic's merchandise confirm anything?
*** Pikachu came in contact back during the Surge gym battle. Clearly he's just been holding back the evolution ever since.

== [[Dying Dream|99% of the show is a giant dream sequence hallucinated by Ash. He's in a coma, and all the other characters are manifestations of various aspects of his psyche.]] ==
The theory is explained [https://web.archive.org/web/20081227190206/http://community.livejournal.com/pokemon/1575631.html here.]
Also [http://cartoonoveranalyzations.com/2009/04/09/pokemon-explained/ here].
* Well, that's damn depressing.
Line 74:
She's way too hot after 11 kids to be aging on a human scale. Her mysterious disappearance must have been some ritual or problem relating to her Pokemon family she couldn't let on. That eternal [[Cat Grin]] is bit of a clue - she must be related to the Mews. Her affinity for water Pokemon is a combination of love of fish and an attempt to overcome a fear of water gone wrong.
* A simpler explanation: She's the step-mom, but everyone's too polite to say so.
** And yet they weren't too polite to say she was [[Dub -Induced Plot Hole|dead]]...?
*** Probably linked to the original language. The Japanese language doesn't usually differentiate between half-relations. If you're related, you're all the way related. So it's more than possible she's a stepmom in disguise.
* She seems more like the Japanese, G-rated version of [[South Park|Eric Cartman's]] mother. Huge ditzy slut, but everyone is too polite to call her on it.
Line 253:
* C) Because they need experience.
* D) Beating Team Rocket makes them look like [[Big Damn Heroes]] to the locals of the week, normally getting them shit.
* E) [[Goldfish Poop Gang|Because they aren't a threat]], and [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain|aren't that evil.]] Considering that Ash recognizes them in Best Wishes when they've [[Not So Harmless|taken]] [[Took a Level Inin Badass|levels in badassery,]] this would explain a lot.
 
== Brock's "mom" really is dead. ==
Or at least the one that gave birth to him and his siblings. His actual mother looks a lot more like him and his siblings, complete with squinty eyes and coarse hair, like Flint and all their children. She died giving birth to Tilly and Billy. Flint, grief stricken, left Brock to take care of his younger siblings. When "Brock's mother" actually returned, it wasn't really her. Flint had hooked up with "Lola", who was actually a man, and the two decided to state that she was the children's mother, which the older children went along with and the younger children believed, until they were old enough for it to be explained to them. This explains why none of the children look like "Lola" and why "Brock's mom" reappeared very suddenly.
** And why does Lola need to be a man? Other than the [[Shout-Out]], I mean. Seems to me that Flint finding another woman after his first wife's death is more plausible than him [[Suddenly Sexuality|suddenly and out of nowhere coming out as gay or bi]], especially with American ideas about what is or isn't OK to show kids. No, I'm not reading American values into a Japanese show. The "Lola" question only exists [[Dub -Induced Plot Hole|in the dub]], [[Acceptable Targets|which was a]] [[4Kids! Entertainment|4kids]] [[Acceptable Targets|product]] and as such will reflect what Americans, especially American [[Moral Guardians]], think is OK for kids. Honestly, getting them to avert [[Never Say "Die"]] at all, even if it was through forcing the [[Sadistic Choice]] between that aversion and showing ''double'' [[Parental Abandonment]], was probably a bigger step than we would have realized at the time. Expecting them to acknowledge homosexuality and/or bisexuality pushes that part way past the sanity limit even for a WMG.
** Hey, it's ''wild'' mass guessing. I don't care if it's never gonna happen, the thought amuses me, and I basically based the whole theory off the [[Shout-Out]], and it stuck in my mind. Look at the "Ash's father" section and tell me I'm pushing sanity limits.
** Expecting the Pokémon Company to acknowledge homo/bisexuality in a children's cartoon in America is farther off than "Lugia is Ash's father" or even "[[Everyone Is Jesus in Purgatory|Ash is Jesus, Delia is the Virgin Mary, and Ash's Father is Arceus]]". When your WMG would involve not only improbable occurences [[In-Universe]] (which is pretty much a common feature of everything in the WMG section) but [[Real Life]] [[Character Derailment]] (not to mention putting yourself in the crosshairs of [[Political Correctness Gone Mad]]), it can firmly be considered [[Jossed]]. Same with the "Dawn is a [[Transsexualism]] and Ash's father" guess up there, also commented (and not by me) to be at least pushing the bounds of WMG sanity.
Line 601:
== The Gastly in "The Ghost of Maiden's Peak" is the maiden's lost love.==
He lost his memory when he died, but was drawn back to her by the power of love.
== [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Chigusa Chigusa] is Maylene's sister. ==
Both specialize in Fighting Pokémon and have pink hair.
 
==Ash appears to age slowly because the anime runs on [[Webcomic Time]].==
 
Take each of 800-odd episodes as one day, and Ash as 10;10 when he began his journey. This would explain the use of VOAs with deeper voices and why he's taller by X/Y (he's 13 and has had a growth spurt).

== Tobias' second Pokémon (if it appeared at all) would be a fully evolved starter from Unova, Entei and/or Lucario ==
It turned out to be ''Latios''.
 
== Tobias is a projection of Darkrai ==
