WARNING: This thread contains spoilers.
Also, you may or may not take one right in the childhood from reading this.

Welcome to Pokemon Conspiracy Theories! This thread is a collection of creepypasta, fanfic and theories based on what seem to be normal events in the Pokemon universes. If you would like to submit a theory, feel free to post it in this thread.

Just several rules if you want to post a theory here:

1) Any theory that relates between the anime, the games, and the manga are automatically BUSTED. Those three are considered to be separate canons/parallel universes.
2) Fanfic stories or creepypastas that do not offer a theory for its basis may be BUSTED.
3) Anything that Nintendo has confirmed at the time of the submission of your theory is not at theory at all.
4) All theories must be accompanied by a title and a picture.
5) PLEASE REFRAIN FROM RE-POSTING THEORIES. If you're gonna submit a theory, make sure no one else has posted it on this thread.

There theories posted here that break one or more of the above rules, but those were posted a long time ago. I'm just trying to set a standard so we can get higher quality theories posted here.

Remember, this is all speculation... or is it? Discuss!

Pokemon Conspiracy Theories Part I

1) [DITTO/MEW] Is Ditto a... failed Mew?


Mew and Ditto both weigh 8.8 lbs.
They have the same sprite color scheme, with the same shinies.
They both can learn every move, though in Ditto's case for a certain period.
They both learn Transform.
Many Ditto can be found in Cinnabar Mansion where many experiments took place between Mew and Mewtwo.

2) [1st GEN] Player kills Blue's (Gary's) Raticate



3) [1st GEN] Gengar is Clefable's shadow


The two Pokemon have similar physical features.
They both have the same hands, ears, feet, and body shape.
Gengar's species name is the Shadow Pokemon.
Gengar's name is originated from the word doppelganger, the ghostly double of a person.

4) [1st GEN] Cubone, baby Kangaskhan, and M'


When a mother Kangaskhan dies, it leaves its Kangaskhan cub on its own. The Kangaskhan cub uses the skull and a bone from its mother to use as protection and becomes a Cubone. Then through malnutrition or adapting to a different lifestyle, the Cubone evolves into a Marowak. Female Marowak's later evolve into Kangaskhans, and the cycle starts all over.
This is self evident, as Cubone appears rather similar to the baby Kangaskhan that rides around in it's mother's pouch. Also, 'Bonemerang' (Cubone's signature move) refers to boomerang just as 'Kangaskhan' refers to Kangaroo. Kangaroo and boomerangs are both natively Australian themes.
Before Pokemon Red/Blue released, the developers decided that Kangaskhan needed to be separated from the previous two stages to become its own standalone Pokemon. The reason for this is that, being a kids game, it wouldn't do to allow small children to learn that a Cubone is actually an orphaned baby Kangaskhan wearing it's dead mother's skull on it's head and slinging it's bones around like clubs and boomerangs. However, the team didn't have time to delete the code at the last minute. Instead of deleting the code, they simply wrote a new non-evolving Marowak and moved the old one to an empty slot... with no number. This catchable Pokemon is M', Missingno's sister.
M' is actually a scrapped prototype of Marowak. This theory can be confirmed if you catch a M' and level it up, it evolves into a Kangaskhan.

5) [EVOLUTION] Messed up evolution #1



6) [EVOLUTION] Messed up evolution #2



7) [ANIME] Ash's Age #1


It's quite a long but it's DEFINITELY mindblowing and worth the read. Here's the link:
http://www.killcure.com/2009/10/02/p...piracy-theory/

This is one of the first Pokemon theories to surface the web. It explains how Ash is in a coma and conjures his Pokemon adventures, which ties into adolescent anxiety and Freudian psychology.

8) [MECHANICS] Look familiar?

CONFIRMED



The area in real-life Japan where the games' region lines up is also called Kanto.
Saffron City is located in the same place on this map as Tokyo.
Goldenrod City is located in the same place as Kyoto.
Mount Silver is located where the real-life Mount Fuji is.
Cinnabar Island is located on the island of Izu Oshima. If you recall, Cinnabar Island is destroyed by a volcanic eruption between the first and second generations. Izu Oshima is home to Mount Mihara, which is a volcano.
Vermillion City is located where the real-life city of Yokohama stands.
Cianwood City is the only city whose corresponding real-life city is not considered part of Honshu, but rather of Shikoku. It corresponds with the city of Tokushima.

Hoenn is actually turned sideways to fit onto that map. It's on the island of Kyushu.
The city of Slateport corresponds with the real-life location of Nagasaki.
Mossdeep City is located on the real-life island of Tanegashima. Just like Mossdeep City is home to the Space Center, so Tanegashima is home to Tanegashima Space Center.
Sootopolis City is located on the real-life island of Yakushima. Yakushima's biggest mountain is Miyanoura-dake, which may or may not be volcanic. I'll let you know when I find out.
Evergrande City is located on the real-life island of Amami Oshima, where (I'm not making this up), a species of deadly poisonous snake lives and mongooses are trained to kill them. Sound familiar?

Sinnoh in reality is the island of Hokkaido, which is Japan's largest prefecture. The capital of Hokkaido is Sapporo, which is located in roughly the same location on that map as Jubilife City.
The port city of Otaru in Hokkaido corresponds with the location of Canalave City. The islands where one can catch Darkrai and Cresselia correspond with the locations of Teuri Island and Yagishiri Island.
The Pokemon League is located on the island of Kunashiri. Unlike that spot in the game, this island is volcanic.
Mount Asahi is in the same location on that map as Mount Coronet.

I think we all should know that Unova is based on New York City.

9) [2nd GEN] Subliminal Messaging

CONFIRMED


This is an overview map of the Goldenrod City Gym in Pokemon G/S/C. See anything Pokemon-like?

10) [HUMOR] You will never be able to unsee this:

Take a look at Diglett, and look at it’s “nose”. See that little white spot. Yep, that’s actually a tooth.

Pokemon Conspiracy Theories Part II

[1st GEN] 11) The world of Pokémon was ravaged by a generation-killing war


There’s a theory floating around the interwebs that paints a dark, horrific history of the Pokémon world, or at least Red/Blue’s Kanto region. Many players have noted that in Pokémon Red/Blue, there is a large absence of middle aged men in the game world. Think about the last time you played Pokémon. An abnormally large amount of Pokémon trainers chillin’ in the wild were little kids. Think about it. Why were there so many damn toddlers roaming the wilds unattended? There were plenty of elderly men and women in the world (Professor Oak), and many middle aged women (the player’s mom, the nurses), but a lack of middle aged men. What about the player’s father, or your rival’s father? While most people wouldn’t worry about the absence of middle aged dudes, some Pokémon fans have rationalized this through the creation of yet another insane theory.

The electric-type gym leader, Lt. Surge mentions being a survivor of some sort of brutal war that almost took his life (he claims that his Pokémon saved his life). Other trainers in the gym were once soldiers in some sort of army, which presumably fought in a war. A war where Pokémon were used as weapons. Let that sink in for a moment, as you try to imagine the horror of hundreds of terrified soldiers storming beaches being held by goddamn Charizards. Some fans believe this war was the cause of the lack of adult men, claiming that all of them had been killed in the war. Essentially, some people are speculating that this war caused a ‘generation kill’, and that the young children of the Kanto region are the first generation to find peace. This also explains why the player’s father is absent (hint, he died), and why the rival character has no parents (hint, they died). While a lot of this theory involves speculation and imagination, the horrifying idea of a human-Pokémon war that wiped out an entire generation is pretty damn sweet.

12) [5th GEN] Dark Triad = Cilian, Chili, and Cress

BUSTED as of Pokemon Black Version 2 and White Version 2



Besides the obvious there are 5 reasons...

1. You go to meet one of the three waiters/gym leaders (it depends on which starter you chose) in the Academy... somehow he gets past you without you even knowing. Ninja Skills.
2. One of the few cities not attacked by Team Plasma is their city. (Unless you count the Dreamyard/Abandoned Lot of Dreams as part of it)
3. Team Plasma are never shown at the same time as the waiters. (and vise versa)
4. They are the only gym leaders who do no show up towards the end when the gym leaders battle Team Plasma.
5. Two of the the waiters/gym leaders don't talk about the incident, and one of them just gives you one short answer.

13) [1st GEN] Red is a spirit



Red died some time after the events of Red and Blue. The reason he appears in the most high (apparently) peak of Kanto-Johto is because he wants to cross over to the heavens, but his spirit doesn't want to depart Earth yet because he has to battle the main character in G/S/C in order to feel complete. He feeds on the spirits/souls of lost persons and challangers and will part when, again, the main character beats him. That's the reason of why he doesn't talk.

14) [4th GEN] The Secret of the Old Chateau



Quite some time before the events of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, a man and his wife lived in the Old Chateau. They had a daughter and lived a quiet and peaceful life. There were several butlers working in the Old Chateau. One of them was called Charon. He had a knack for messing around with electrical equipment in the mansion.

One day, he went into the basement of the mansion to fix an electrical problem from a recent thunderstorm. As Charon was fixing the problem in the basement, he found a peculiar looking object in an unused washing machine. He messed around with the object which he called a "motor". After a couple of days, the motor came to life. Charon realized this certainly was not a motor, but a new species of Pokemon. He called the Pokemon "Rotom" and adopted it as his own.
Several weeks, later, the man's daughter was having a problem with his microwave. She called on his favorite butler to fix it, but he couldn't do the job, so he called on Charon to help him. Charon didn't know how to fix a microwave either, but he knew that Rotom could transform into one, so Rotom transformed into a microwave.

Before cooking anything, they decided to test the Rotom microwave. The test went horribly wrong. Flames came bursting out of Rotom's mouth and filled the kitchen with smoke. Charon commanded Rotom to stop, but it couldn't. The smoke was starting to spread throughout all parts of the mansion. There was nothing that can be done except to evacuate. Everyone made it out in time... except for the man's daughter. One of the butlers quickly realized this and went in to find her. The butler eventually found her and realized the girl had been poisoned from the smoke. He searched everywhere in the mansion for medicine. He finally found an Antidote in a trash can, but it was already too late. The butler started choking from the fire and eventually died from suffocation. The girl soon perished from carbon monoxide poisoning.
Rotom felt emotionally depressed following the event, so he confined himself in a television set for the rest of his life.
Charon, realizing the trouble and damage he had caused, ran away from the scene and later worked as a scientist for Team Galactic.
The man's wife was distraught at what had happened so decided to take up Pokemon training. She decided to train with the Ghost-type so she can communicate with her deceased daughter. She later became a Gym Leader in Hearthome City.
The man... he was just as distraught as his wife. He built a mansion just exactly like the Old Chateau... but it just didn't feel right. He returned to the Old Chateau and retrieved a statue from the entrance hall and the bodies of his daughter and the butler. He placed the statue in his office and the interred the bodies in two separate rooms in his new mansion. No one is allowed to enter those two rooms.
The ghosts of the butler and the girl still haunt the Old Chateau to this very day. The butler is still desperately trying to find the Antidote, but he does not know that he will reach the girl in time. As for the girl, she is still waiting for the Antidote in her room, but she does not know if she will live.

15) [1st GEN] The Munna Reference



From Pokemon Red/Blue. Munna is also referenced in Pokemon FireRed/LeafGreen, but I couldn't find a pic of that.

16) [HUMOR] Ummmmm....



17) [1st GEN] Developer's mistake



18) [EVOLUTION] Messed up Evolution #3



This one is an expansion on the "Cubone, Kangaskhan and M'" theory.

19) [ANIME] Ripoff?



The plot of the television show “Avatar: The Last Airbender” centers around a young boy – I can’t remember his name, but it begins with an A – in his journey to travel the world and master the elements.

Mastering these elements usually involves a fight of some sort with a master of their respective styles. The boy is not alone in his journey, however. He is joined by a girl who specializes in the element of water and a youth who, while putting on a show of being mature, tends to easily fall for women, along with his fuzzy companions. Their journey is not without challengers, however. As the group travels they often find themselves in the middle of a city’s conflict, and need to find a peaceful resolution to their problem before continuing on their way.
In addition to that, there is an organization which is constantly attempting to capture them, that also has plans for conquering the entire world. To conquer the challenges ahead of him, the boy must learn valuable lessons of trust and friendship, and can always depend on his friends to help him if he is in need.

20) [1st GEN] Influencing The Elections



When you defeat Brock at the Pewter City Gym, he gives you Bide, which is TM08.

Brock, Bide TM08
Barack, Biden '08

Did Game Freak intend to influence the 2008 American presidential elections?

Pokemon Conspiracy Theories Part III

21) [5th GEN] Religiously Inspired Pokemon #1

Giratina is called the Renegade Pokemon in the Pokedex. Renegade is synonymous with "rebellious". Giratina was banished to a different dimension for being violent.
Satan is often known as the Rebellious One. He was banished by God to Hell for leading a rebellion against God and the angels.

Giratina in Origin Form resembles a serpent and in Altered form a basilisk. Satan takes the form of a serpent and a basilisk many times in the Bible.

When in Origin Form, Giratina has 6 wings, 6 rib bones, and 6 spikes.
When in Altered Form, Giratina has 6 rib bones, 6 spikes, and 6 legs.
The number of the Devil is 666.

Was the designer of Giratina trying promote Satanism?

22) [ANIME] [MANGA] The Brother Theory

BUSTED, the anime and the manga are two separate canons


Why is Satoshi/Ash so inept compared to Red?

It is a gross misconception that they are intended to be the same character in different incarnations. In fact, Red and Ash are brothers. Red is older by a couple of years - so he started his Pokemon journey around the time of the game’s release, and Ash is the younger brother who started his journey around the time of the Anime’s release.
Where Red took down all of Team Rocket, the most influential crime syndicate in his country, Ash has a constant rivalry with two completely inept members of the organization that don't apparently take any part in the real endeavors of Team Rocket.

Red is a Pokemon Master. He defeated the Elite Four, even uncovering a lot of their double standards as Team Rocket members.
Ash has not defeated one league yet.

The reason for Ash’s incompetence is that he has some learning difficulties/mental retardation. However, he looks up to Red completely and is living his life trying to be just like his big brother and idol.

This is why Gary/Green has no interest in Ash whatsoever. He had his fight with Red, and now occasionally meets Ash along his journey, essentially to check up on him.
This is why Brock and Misty, two Gym Leaders, who have an important job to do in their own towns abandoned their posts to travel with Ash. Red had told them about his brother, and they recognized him, and traveled with him to look out for him and keep him relatively out of trouble when Red couldn’t.

Once Red became a Pokemon Master, he went missing. It wasn’t until three years later that he was found up Mt. Silver.
After Red's defeat on Mt. Silver, he sent Pikachu back to Pallet Town to be with Ash. Pikachu didn’t like it, but knew Red was concerned about his brother.
That’s why Pikachu is so wildly overpowered, despite having no obvious training from Ash. Pikachu of course becomes attached to his new ‘trainer’ and wants to protect him.

Essentially, Red paved the whole way for his simple minded brother, becoming a champion along the way. Most, if not all, the other characters that knew both brothers were playing their part to take care of Ash.

23) [HISTORY] A History of the Pokemon World (2027-2081)



You can call this a prequel to Pokemon Conspiracy #11.

January 22, 2027: Dr. Hagiru Sato and his team of scientists from Japan, America, Canada, and Britain begin work on a matter-energy transference machine.

February 11, 2030: First machine is tested successfully after over a hundred failed tests. Controversy over the destructive nature of the technology ignites.

December 21, 2032: A catastrophic incident with an energy-matter machine destroys the city of Hiroshima, in devastation not seen since the atomic bombs were dropped nearly 90 years prior. Japanese government officials move to ban work on the technology, though Western powers urge them to allow it, despite the mishap.

April 22, 2035: First sighting of infected individuals. Most are animals; some humans are also shown to be susceptible to infection. Most seen around the ruins of Hiroshima, which had not been rebuilt.

May 13, 2035: Northern Japan is split off from its Southern half, as a nation-wide quarantine is enacted. Anarchy soon spreads through the infection regions. 15% of humans exposed to the disease are immune, no side effect. 84.9% are affected fatally by the disease, which causes cancerous-growths. .1% of those exposed are shown to successfully mutate. The “virus” is found to be a spreadable corruption of genetic material, which causes rapid mutation in infected individuals. All large animal life above ground is soon infected.

January 1, 2040: 98% of all animals in Japan are wiped out, ecosystems ruled entirely by infected individuals.

May 8, 2048: Japanese Defense Force engages infected individuals to preserve quarantine. Coordinated attacks by infected humans and animals are seen. High levels of intelligence confirmed.

May 10, 2048: They fail, and the nation of Japan ceases to exist.

October 13, 2048: The United States Carrier George W. Bush is attacked and sunk by an unknown force. Later revealed to be a coordinated assault by the infected. Use of atomic weapons to destroy all life on Japan considered, but denied.

February 12, 2052: Remaining inhabitants of Japan have appeared, by outward observers, to begin adopting the infected into their religions. Part of this religion is a total weapons bad, and the banning of violence against infected individuals. This is surprisingly effective at ceasing conflict with infected individuals.

April 2, 2055: Infected seen to have spread to North America. Military preparedness results in a far more contained infection. Hundreds of thousands in the United States, Canada, and Mexico die.

March 11, 2061: The United States Army begins experimenting with the combat prowess of infected animals, which are shown to have a friendly connection to humans who treat them well, much like dogs. Initial tests exceed expectations. Later that same year, China, Russia, Vietnam, and N. Korea react by signing the Kommu Pact, ensuring protection against the now utterly overpowered West.

July 2, 2063: The Kommu alliance declares war on the United States. Infected used to great effect.

November 9, 2066: War end. Communist states dissolved, China and Russia (and all of Asia) are now under the jurisdiction of the NATO.

December 25, 2072: The regions, now divided, that were once Japan begin to open up to the outside world. Mostly through scientific trade off.

February 1, 2081: Japanese scientists sneak into heavily infected Brazil. They recover the DNA of one of the individuals believed to be one of the first infected.

Beliefs are that the infected are actually the next phase in evolution, and to find one of the originals would better help the understanding. There are many tried and failed cloning attempts, before a final experiment is successful. The result of this experiment, capable of self-induced Energy-Matter transference, is responsible for the deaths of dozens before escaping.

May 22, 2081: Ash Ketchum turns 10 years old.

24) [5th GEN] The 9/11 Reference

Credit goes to shyguy33 for finding this one.

Pokemon Black and White introduces a new game environment, a bustling metropolis based on New York City. That's not just us saying that: "[D]irector Junichi Masuda revealed that Unova (Isshu) was modeled after New York City; the games' Castelia City takes the place of Lower Manhattan and the Sky Arrow Bridge serves as a stand in for the Brooklyn Bridge."

Neat, huh? Let's take a look at the map! So there's the Brooklyn Bridge, and there's Central Park, and there's Manhattan, and right below is ...



Oh.

Oh, dear.

So, how does Pokemon choose to depict the sensitive, emotionally charged setting of Ground Zero, a literal scar on our greatest city, left by our nation's most profound contemporary tragedy?

Obviously, they can't say the devastation was caused by terrorists. So they concocted a story about a falling meteor -- an object of unspeakable power that was quarantined by the government and is now being coveted by Team Plasma. Even weirder, another meteor dropped this Pokemon near the city.

http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wi...ok%C3%A9mon%29

Why do we bring him up? Take a look at his Wiki article. His official height is given as 9 feet 11 inches.

...

So, hey kids, gotta catch 'em all! Especially that new, super-rare Pokemon that is both the very embodiment of and directly responsible for 9/11.

28) [1st GEN] Religiously Inspired Pokemon #2


Is Game Freak attempting to promote Satanism with Alakazam?

29) [MECHANICS] Stockholm Syndrome



The game is essentially about Stockholm syndrome. Humans catch Pokemon, use them to battle, keep their souls in small capsules, and yet, the Pokemon love their trainers after time and even evolve to serve them better.

30) [5th GEN] N Harmonia is a Zoroark



Hair style is very similar.

Can communicate with pokemon.

When you access the memory link with BW, and you go inside the Ex-Plasma base in BW2 (next to Driftviel Gym), Zoroark shows you a memory of N acknowledging that nobody should be forced to choose between Black and White, good v evil...its already clear to people. Zoroark, however, is nowhere in the memory. How would Zoroark know these things?

Zoroark shows you where N's castle is. When you go inside, Zoroark is gone, but N is there. (Illusion wore off?)

There is a King's Rock in N's castle. Ghetsis talks about N being the 'king'. Considering the King's Rock is an item held by pokemon, and N is the one with the King-like item, it makes sense.

Pokemon Conspiracy Theories Part IV

31) [MECHANICS] The Effectiveness of Bubblebeam



It’s not the water of the bubbles that hurt enemy Pokémon; it’s the moist air inside them.

Before firing, the Pokémon inhales. The air it gathers mixes with the water in its body and super compressed into bubbles.

But these bubbles can only hold for their orb-ness for about a second before popping. So the Pokémon spits them out as fast as it can, ergo like a beam.

When the bubbles pop, they actually explode and spread blasts of concentrated moist air at the target.
So bubblebeam is like a cloud of tiny grenades.

Pokemon saliva may act as an extra layer of thickness, which allows for higher air pressure.

32) [MECHANICS] Fresh Water's Potency



Let's assume that the Pokemon War did happen and that it was a nuclear war. Several consequences come with nuclear wars including fallout from the areas bombs were dropped on. What if all of the water in the Pokemon World was irradiated? This would explain why fresh water is so expensive, much more effective at healing than a potion, and why Pokemon can't sip from a water source instead of using a potion or going to the Pokemon Center to get healed.

33) [5th GEN] Religiously Inspired Pokemon #3



According the to Bulbapedia, during the course of its evolution Snivy gradually lost its legs. At the start of Paradise Lost, Lucifer/Satan looks like the rest of his fellow angels, with the notable exception that he is "fallen" since he has gone against God. When he returns to Hell from Earth after tempting Eve, and thus Adam, in the guise of a serpent, he and the other demons receive their punishment: turning into snakes.

Serperior's Dream World Ability is Contrary. According to Bulbapedia, the ability's Japanese name is "Devil's Advocate."

Serperior's name is supposedly a combination of "Serpent" and "Superior" (Or "Warrior," which, although a bit of a stretch, might make sense). This makes sense since Satan is not only associated with the Serpent, but also as the ruler, and thus most "superior" being, of Hell.

Serperior is a Grass type, although there isn't any indication in the name. Perhaps this was because of the Serpent's association with the Tree of Knowledge?

34) [ANIME] Ash's Age #2



At least one day passes in a Pokemon episode, normally at the end of the episode as well, which means that each episode is one day. In some episodes, two or more days can pass but only a few that it won't effect results drastically. ~760 episodes of Pokemon have aired so far, meaning that almost 2 and a half years have passed since Ash began his journey, so I submit to you that Ash has only slightly changed. Comparing him from is present to past counter part this can be seen by hair length and other slight changes.

This would put Ash anywhere from 12 to 14 years old as of 2012.

35) [EVOLUTION] Messed up evolution #4



36) [MECHANICS] Just like us



All of Psychic's weaknesses are common fears. Fear of ghosts, fear of the dark and fear of bugs are all common fears, and since psychic has to do with the mind, it would make sense why they're good against it.

37) [EVOLUTION] Cubone is not a baby Kangaskhan



Here's a different take on the baby Kangaskhan theory.

In the real world, boomerangs were used to hunt kangaroos.

Theory: Marowak have various tribes all over the world, and when these tribes were beginning to be formed, to tell the difference between members of the tribe, the original members all went on a mass hunt of Kangaskahn, took their skulls, gave them tribe markings, and used them as headdresses.

When each member pass away, their eldest child took their headdress and wore it, part in remembrance, and part to honour tradition. This practice still continues to the present day.

We interpreted the Pokedex entry wrong, they don't wear the skull of their ancestor, they wear the skull their ancestor wore as a headdress.

38) [EVOLUTION] Is Deoxys a... canonized Missingno?



Missingno is a glitch, which are tangentially related to computer viruses, while Deoxys was a biological virus that had been mutated by a satellite. Likewise, both Missingno and the Normal form of Deoxys have massive offensive stats but nearly non-existent defensive stats. Missingno also appeared in Generation I, and while Deoxys did exist in the Ruby/Sapphire data, it was not until the remakes of Generation I that there was an event to capture him.

41) [1st GEN] Nuzlocker Blue



Blue/Gary was actually a Nuzlocker. He made a special rule after the first battle he had that his battles against you didn't count. He lost his Raticate, yes, but in an unrelated battle after the SS Anne. He's not a bad trainer; he's an extremely good Nuzlocker who has only ever lost to one person: you.

42) [DITTO/MEW] Ditto is NOT a Failed Mew



So how does the Mew/Ditto work any way other than going off of the stats (strengths in categories) and the color? Other Pokemon could have the same stats as Mew, but you would never call them to be failed attempts of Mew. This, combined with the fact that Cinnabar is the only lab that had such a major accident that the lab had to be abandoned. This would result as it to be the only area where failed/in-progress experiments could be outside the testing area.
Thus, the radiation/psychic energy given off by the lab after it was abandoned stimulated the stem cell clusters to life, without the cells first forming, and giving them the ability to copy other Pokemon (just like organs in real life), yet also return to their amorphous state.

43) [1st GEN] Origins of Mewtwo #1



Katsuhiro Otomo's Akira was written in the mid-80s with an animated film adaptation in 1988. Pocket Monsters, as an idea, sprung up at least in 1990. In Akira, scientists try to replicate the insanely powerful, but child-like psychic named Akira by experimenting on an angsty, older boy named Tetsuo. When Tetsuo's psychic powers go out of the scientists' control, he desires to confront Akira, to see who is more powerful. In Pokemon, the psychic-type Mewtwo was created by scientists to replicate the psychic-type, child-like Mew and also went out of control. In the anime film, Mewtwo also wishes to face Mew in battle, and also has his share of angst.

44) [6th GEN] Sound and Light Types

This theory is merely speculation and will be either confirmed or busted upon the release of Pokemon X and Y.



45) [HISTORY] Mass Extinction

Credit goes to ninja1121 for submitting this theory.



46) [1st GEN] Analysis of Generation I, Part 1/5: Origin of Red and Blue



After his work on the Mewtwo project, Professor Oak made multiple attempts at bioengineering a human clone. The first successful attempt used a 650 nanometer laser, which produced a subject that, while biologically human, lacked human emotion. Professor Oak made a second attempt using a 475 nanometer laser. This produced a more refined, more "human" subject who could easily be mistaken for a perfectly ordinary and rambunctious young boy. The first subject was implanted in a surrogate mother living in the town of Pallet, while the second subject matured entirely in Oak's laboratory. The subjects were named "Red" and "Blue" after the colors of the lasers used in their creation. Postpartum, the surrogate requested to raise subject Red. Professor Oak obliged, and chose to raise subject "Blue" as his own grandson.

47) [1st GEN] Analysis of Generation I, Part 2/5: Pokeball Mechanics



A Pokeball leaks radiation proportional to the mass of the Pokemon contained within, and the amount of radiation that the human trainer can safely withstand is proportional to their own body mass. This is why many young trainers like Youngsters and Lasses have lightweight Pokemon like Rattata and Jigglypuff, while heavy Pokemon like Geodude and Onix are always carried by a large and muscular Hikers. Of course, the radiation of those balls adds up, so most people are only capable of carrying three or four Pokeballs at a time, if that many. Gym leaders, being in a static location, don't have to carry their Pokemon on their person, and not being in constant close proximity to their Pokeballs, they can usually get away with using up to five. Red and Blue, being genetically engineered superhumans, have the strength to carry up to six Pokeballs at a time.

48) [1st GEN] Analysis of Generation I, Part 3/5: Experience Gain



When Pokemon participate in battle, an adrenaline-like response kicks in, allowing the use of combat abilities like summoning lightning or breathing fire. As this happens, Pokemon exude large amounts of radiation. Their adrenal response also leaves them susceptible to radiation exuded by opposing Pokemon during combat. This radiation causes Pokemon to mutate, and the extent of these mutations is proportional to the strength of the opponent. Face a terrifyingly-strong opponent, and high radiation levels and increased susceptibility will lead to rampant mutations. Weaker foes, conversely, will have little impact on a Pokemon's physique.
These mutations cumulatively add to a Pokemon's strength, and sometimes manifest themselves in the form of increased abilities or appendages. For example, Bulbasaur might sprout some vines, allowing it to use the move Vine Whip. Other times, the mutation is more drastic, causing a Pokemon to mutate into an entirely new form. (Also known as evolution)
Although "leveling up" is the usual way for Pokemon to evolve or learn new skills, there are also artificial stimulants that can be used to enhance a Pokemon's combat abilities. You can call them "performance enhancing drugs" if you like, but "Technical Machine" also works. Evolution stones are just high concentrations of chemicals that cause certain Pokemon to mutate.

49) [1st GEN] Analysis of Generation I, Part 4/5: Emperors of Kanto



The Kanto region is controlled by four elite emperors, otherwise known as the Elite Four. Kanto is governed under what is essentially a feudal system, with local rulers residing in "Gyms," surrounded by loyal followers/apprentices. The Elite Four is aware of the possibility of a trainer raising Pokemon even more powerful than their own. To prevent such an individual from attempting to stage a violent revolution, the Elite Four has extended a generous offer: anyone who is able to beat them is allowed to join their ranks. Many trainers dream of becoming rulers of the world, but few possess the skill needed to make it even past the first few gyms.

50) [1st GEN] Analysis of Generation I, Part 5/5: Red, the Champion Despot



After conquering the Elite Four, Red became its leader. However, lacking understanding of things like human emotion, he was horribly unfit for the role of leader. Red became known as a despot, inspiring the hatred of all of Kanto. Under his leadership, the skills of the Elite Four atrophied. Red was blind to the rumblings of rebellion throughout Kanto, but was not blind to the fact that his skills as a trainer were growing dull. To rectify this, he planned a hiatus during which he could train alone on Mount Silver.
At the time that the Elite Four's skills were atrophying, the Kanto gym leaders continued to gain strength. Eventually, Red was the only member of the Elite Four who was stronger than any of the Kanto gym leaders, and when Red left for Mount Silver, the Kanto Gym leaders staged a rebellion. Lorelei and Agatha were either killed or fled into hiding. Bruno, being among the more benevolent rulers of the Elite Four, was allowed to stay. The Kanto gym leaders were not able to defeat Lance's powerful dragons, but after seeing Agatha and Lorelei disappear/get killed, Lance admitted that he had no desire to see the current system continue. The Kanto gym leaders allowed Lance to stay as league champion, and stationed one of their own, Koga, on the new Elite Four. (Koga's daughter, Jasmine, replaced him in the Fuchsia City gym.) Red, meanwhile, continued his training atop Mount Silver. He remained in total isolation until three years later, when he received his first human visitor: a young boy named Gold.

.../b/?

I don't really go on /b/ much cuz it's like a semi-random/semi-pron site. Very unhealthy for my computer history.
I got most of my info from random and interesting sites.

[ΤhatOneNewbie]

How about using the Clear Browsing History button?

Also, with Unova, a lot of these theories have become false.

[Georgie Poo]

Whoa O.O. The ditto and mew theory is interesting.
