    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.

    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.
    It's Aang, and don't say Avatars a Pokemon rip-off, I used to love that show (But I like the abridged version even better :3).

    Remember what you said about being a friend now?
    The movement in her hips strikes the hour when the poison sets in

    3) I also love Avatar amd I've seen all of the episodes in order. It's my most favorite animated series.

    O_O Lol, I never knew this. Also, if the theory about his dream were true...why would the developers not tell us?

    Nice article. ^_^

    Some comments.
    I read several of these previously on various fan sites lol.

    Note: The Number I post is associated with the 'Conspiracy' theory. I believe it should be just called 'theories' because not all of these are actually conspiracies.

    4.) This theory is pretty interesting, but the developers abandoned it obviously. Another reasoning is evolution and they evolved from the same creature.

    7.) I've read that before, it is odd indeed.

    8.) Duh. The developers meant it to be that way, they have stated it themselves. It's not a theory, its a fact.

    9.) So? it's shaped like a pokemon. Not a theory, just a cool easter egg.

    10.) And? It's not a tooth, just tinting, I've seen that before.

    11 and 12.) These both have a nice amount of info to back these up, but the war also happened in America, because Lt. Surge says himself that he was from America.

    13.) Nope.avi Spirits cannot throw poke balls, call out commands to Pokemon, then award you prize money. Your character doesn't talk either, is he a ghost?

    15.) Most likely a coincidence.

    16.) Not even a theory. Just saying Chikorita looks like a pear.

    17.) It was meant to be that way. Look up the Etymology of their names.

    18.) Interesting indeed.

    19 and 20.) Coincidences. Just because Aang and Ash are in the same pose does not mean Avatar is a copy of Pokemon

    21.) One of the most interesting I've seen yet.

    22.) Red isn't even seen in the anime. So how are they brothers?

    23.)Interesting. Back at my comment at Lt. Surge, the american soldier. I believe this takes place in a supposed alternate dimension, and the 'war' is actually a reference to WWII, and so it includes Japan and America, etc. However, my theory is flawed like religion.

    That's actually why the theory makes any sense.

    21) 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) The Brother Theory

    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) 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.

    23) The 9/11 Reference

    Credit goes to shyguy33 for discovering 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.

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.

    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.
    He already posted them all.
