[[AC: Other Pikachu-related theories]]
[[WMG: Why Pikachu is at first bad-tampered and hostile]]
Professor Oak lied, when he said, that Pikachu is not accustomed to humans. In fact, Pikachu already had a trainer, but he was an asshole, a coward, insulting and sometimes even hitting Pikachu and showing a lack of concern for his well-being. Because of that, his license was revoked, the trainer was placed in juvenile hall and the Pikachu was transferred back to the professor. When Ash proved himself to be courageous and concerned for Pikachu's well-being to the point of facing a flight of Spearrow all by himself, he saw that Ash resp. Satoshi was a worthy trainer and a true friend and warmed up to him.

* It's pretty stupid. First, they assume Giovanni is [[EpilepticTrees Ash's father]], but it only starts getting ludicrous after "The split between ash's parents was likely over ash's homosexuality..."

* It would be about time that Team Rocket, after being fried by Pikachu for who knows how long, to get a ground-type into the team to nullify that threat once and for all. Also, a Sandygast might even get along with Mimikryu just fine, being naturally malicious by nature as well.

type.

[[WMG: There are plenty more than eight gyms per region.]]
Gameplay purpose isn't a concern, and there doesn't have to be a limit of the anime region-size. There are dozens of different gyms in each region, however the main eight we see in the games are the ones with the most publicity and importance. You can go to, say, the Yaz and Taz Gyms, but they're considered amateur gyms.

[[WMG: Gary will return at the end of Sun and Moon.]]
Its unlikely that there will be a Alola league in Sun and Moon and the if the kahuna trials are anything like in the games they will be the Orange islands all over again. So someone needs to keep alive the glorious tradition of screwing over Ash at the end. So why not the master?

[[WMG: Other alternate universes]]
Since [=XY037=] canonized the idea of alternate universes for the anime, there might be others that we haven't seen yet. Including (feel free to add others):
* A universe where Ash actually won a league.
* The inevitable GenderFlip universe with Ashley instead of Ash.
* A universe where Ash and his traveling companions [[EvilCounterpart are all villains]], [[TheBadGuyWins have taken control of all the Legendaries, and successfully conquered their world]], not to mention that this version of Ash [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking is smarter than Prime!Ash]]. There's also a [[LaResistance token resistance]] comprised of the remains of this universe's evil teams that's led by the Team Rocket trio.
* The games and manga would have their own universes as well.

* Has FridgeBrilliance to why his Fury Swipes [[NotSoHarmlessVillain has moments of being ridiculously effective]] since ''Diamond and Pearl'' (when the ability was established), in the games, Fury Swipes is boosted greatly from Technician due to each hit being separate (it can surpass ''Thunder'' in power), just, like with Team Rocket's Meowth, it is not perfectly reliable, and can sometimes miss the target altogether.

[[WMG:Ash's hidden Aura power is slowly developing as time passes.]]
It was said that Ash has the same aura as Sir Aaron, an Aura Guardian, and he did used some aura power, deliberately. The theory is that he has subconsciously been using his aura powers from the get go and knowing about it gave him a bit of a boost in developing it. It, very slowly since he doesn't train it, then culminated in forming the Ash-Greninja through his bond with Greninja.

At first glance, Ash seems to be a ChasteHero oblivious to romance. In truth, Ash is anything but. Ash is actually a huge pervert who loves the attention of his female companions, possibly [[HoYay male companions]] and maybe even [[InterspeciesRomance Pokemon.]] Being GenreSavvy after witnessing [[LovableSexManiac Brock's]] [[CasanovaWannabe continuous failures]], Ash realised that hitting on girls would be doomed to failure. Instead, he realised in a GenreSavvy moment that [[ChasteHero being seeming uninterested in romance]] made him more desirable, as girls with a crush on him would work harder for him(aka be more sexy). Why else would Dawn wear such a short skirt, and May have all those Fanservice moments? Ash is actually a CovertPervert that's master of [[ObfuscatingStupidity obfuscating]] [[ObliviousToLove obliviousness to romance]].

** This also explains how Ash and friends always end up at places on the one day a year they have a special event. Look at "A Poke-BLOCK Party", "Aipom and Circumstance", "All Dressed Up And Somewhere To Go", etc. Annual events are waiting for them to show up similar to scripted events in the game not happening until you're in the right spot.

The Obi Wan has been merged with Mentor Archetype. Misuse and zero context examples will be cut.


Goes with the above. Pikachu wants Ash to be "the very best, like no one ever was" too, so the things he does are to help Ash get better. He's also acted like TheObiWan / BigBrotherMentor to other Pokemon, who go on to become stellar examples of their kind.

* And why does Lola need to be a man? Other than the ShoutOut, I mean. Seems to me that Flint finding another woman after his first wife's death is more plausible than him [[SuddenlySexuality 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 [[DubInducedPlotHole in the dub]], [[AcceptableTargets which was a]] [[FourKidsEntertainment 4kids]] [[AcceptableTargets product]] and as such will reflect what Americans, especially American MoralGuardians, think is OK for kids. Honestly, getting them to avert NeverSayDie at all, even if it was through forcing the SadisticChoice between that aversion and showing ''double'' ParentalAbandonment, 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.

[[WMG: In the Anime, Charizard and Mewtwo's alternate Mega Evolutions depend on their genders.]]
Its been mentioned before that Mewtwo's X Mega Evolution looks masculine, while it's Y Mega Evolution looks feminine. The same can sort of be said for Charizard and it's Mega Evolutions. So the way I see it, to distinguish the gender differences for both Pokemon in the Anime, their X Mega Evolutions are exclusive to the males, while their Y Mega Evolutions are exclusive to the females.

[[WMG: Mega Pidgeot was created specifically to bait the anime]]
Charizard's fine and all, but... Picture Ash [[TheBusCameBack going back for Pidgeot after all this time.]] Picture him sweeping his hat around in a nostalgic manner during a Kalos League match, his Keystone glistening as he does... And Mega Pidgeot gives a mighty screech. It works and you all know it.

[[WMG: Serena will become a long-term companion]]
* Like Brock, she will seemingly leave at the end of Kalos, but then appear early on into the next region and re-join Ash.

[[WMG: Serena's Eevee will evolve into Sylveon]]
* I mean why else would they put an Eevee on her team, to give the new Eeveelution to a main character.
** Confirmed.

[[WMG: Ash's Charizard will come back for Kalos League... with Charizardite Y.]]
* Charizard was always a fan favourite and one of Ash's strongest Pokémon, and now, with Alain's appearance in the main series, it would make perfect sense for him to return and serve as a foil to Alain's Mega Charizard X. Face it, who wouldn't like to see these two fight - prefereably in the Kalos League final rounds?

[[WMG:Ash will recapture Goodra for the Pokémon League, before releasing it again]]
* Given that Goodra is slated to reappear in [=XY124=], I can't imagine why a recapture is in the works.
