== Cilan is a negaishipper ==
Line 55:
*** Nitpicking, but Espeon isn't based on the games. It's based on the event Eevee. A few other important trainers already had an Umbreon.
== Ash is immortal, a la Captain Jack Harkness (of ''[[Doctor Who]]''/''[[
Think about it. Ash has been in far more potentially lethal situations after the first movie (being hit by a massive onslaught of Pokemon attacks, falling from implausible heights and surviving, being buried under tons of metal, etc.). Therefore, in the first movie, when {{spoiler|Ash is turned to stone by Mewtwo and Mew's attacks and is revived by the Pokemon's tears (emotions?)}}, Ash was over-affected and became immortal, just like Captain Jack. This would also explain why he doesn't seem to age at all.
* Bear in mind, [[Never Say "Die"]] is a universal law in this show. If Ash is immortal, so are Team Rocket. This may be due to all the attacks that they were subjected to over the years.
** Team Rocket's immortality is canon. In the Japanese version, they've commented on their own immortality more than once.
*** Awhaaaaaaat?! When did they ever say that? Prove it.
Line 68:
* It's pretty stupid. First, they assume Giovanni is [[Epileptic Trees|Ash's father]], but it only starts getting ludicrous after "The split between ash's parents was likely over ash's homosexuality..."
* Therefore, Pikachu is [[Life On Mars|Gene Hunt]].
** Or [[Life On Mars
* Alternate idea: Not 99%, but everything since {{spoiler|Ash got [[Incredibly Lame Pun|stoned]] in the first movie.}} Everything from then on, including {{spoiler|his revival}}, was [[All Just a Dream]].
Line 91:
== Team Rocket is incompetent because Pikachu fried their brains one too many times. ==
[[Exactly What It Says
* This makes sense when you think about it. In the beginning, the Team Rocket trio were sinister, ruthless, and fairly competent, if overconfident. But after having the living daylights shocked out of them by Pikachu in the second episode, they became obsessed with capturing it and [[Villain Decay|steadily lost intelligence from repeated shocks]], [[Dumb Is Good|but as a result became a bit nicer]].
** That makes quite a bit of sense, considering that the brain is one of the most delicate organs we have and some of the bizarre real life things that have happened to people. Team Rocket's pretty lucky that they only ended up with altered behavior instead of paralysis, more severely impaired brain function, and heart attacks.
Line 138:
== The Jennies and Joys that happen to look different from the mold... ==
Well, they are around. They don't disappear, nor are they killed (despite what [[Soylent Green]] conspiracy theorists say). They receive different names, and try to excel at other areas. How to notice them? By their hair color, of course. Whitney and Maylene could be related to Joys, while Duplica and Suzie (the Vulpix girl) could be related to Jennies, and so on. A strange male variation of a Jenny would be Wallace. Although, not every aqua-haired person would be related to Jennies, or pink-haired ones to Joy, as it would make the family bonds way too much strict. Also, they don't even need to look different. Hell, look at [http://pokesho.com/img_chara_us/anime3/i_marble.gif Marble]! It's a Jenny with a different name!
* And then, we have [[Pokémon Gold and Silver
== Jessie and James are also Pokemon who can talk. ==
Line 257:
== 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
*** Pokémon's not entirely terrified of the sexuality issue, just look at Tucker.
** So you're saying there's something in the series that says Flint is 100% completely straight and not bisexual? I mean, it's not [[Character Derailment]] unless something says it's not possible at all. Unless Pokemon has suddenly become a [[No Bisexuals]] universe, it's possible within the universe. [[WMG|WMGs]] can be about being possible in universe, not about whether or not a TV channel will show it.
Line 265:
== Lola isn't ''Brock's'' biological Mom... ==
She's '''Misty's'''. Let's [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Lola take a look at] [[Homestar Runner|the facts]]: Lola is [[Hot Mom|smoking hot]] ([[Ms. Fanservice|like Misty and her sisters]]), is a good enough [[Making a Splash|Water Pokemon]] Trainer to lead a Gym (putting her near, though not necessarily at, Misty's level of skill), and decorated her Gym with reckless abandon (a trait more befitting [[Valley Girl|her sisters]]; Misty would've had [[Blue
* Why would the League care about there being two water gyms? There are a LOT of gyms in each area, so type duplications are only natural. Seems to be that all you have to do is prove your worth as a trainer to the inspector from the League, and then what you do with your gym is up to you ([[Pokémon Black and White|apparently]] [[No OSHA Compliance|whether OSHA likes it or not]].)
* Lola may be guilty of [[Parental Abandonment]]. She may not want to deal with the rigors of taking care of her daughters, and felt the older siblings could take care of Misty themselves. Much like Flint.
Line 401:
That's why Ash is still only ten, 90% of the episodes we see aren't really happening. Only episodes where something significant happen, new catch/new attack/badge/contest/relevant battle/released pokemon, the rest are just irrelevant.
== The Zekrom that zapped Pikachu was actually Ryouga from [[Pokémon Re
He intentionally depowered Pikachu and made Ash look like a chump so that fans would give up on him and flock to Ryouga as a real Pokémon protagonist.
Line 510:
== Iris was ''assigned'' to follow Ash ==
In Castellia, in ''both'' versions, Iris refers to herself as Bianca's "bodyguard". Now, say what you will about that job, it could very well be that someone caught wind of a "[[The Chosen One|Chosen One]]" inbound and sent Iris to the area, [[Batman Gambit|knowing]] that they'd meet and join up.
Has interesting ramifications when combined with a [[Pokémon Black and White

And that's why it is shown in the anime the least-that was enforced! Plus there are Ponyta, the Chimchar line etc that cause Charmander to be censored out of the show more.
