History WMG / PokemonAnime

She caught it during his Johto trip, the same one where Eevee and Squirtle evolved into [[spoiler:Glaceon and Wartortle]] respectively. Also, May traded her heart-filled Bulbasaur for a Venusaur due to someone being attracted to its unique hearts.

Into an Alolan Raichu no doubt

[[WMG: Piplup is a Draco Meteor magnet]]
Gible really isn't trying to hit Piplup with his Draco Meteor attempts, the attack is simply attracted to Piplup because Piplup once ate a hold item that gives a pokemon a resistance to dragon type attacks but causes dragon type attacks to always hit the pokemon. Any time Piplup is close enough to Gible while he's practicing Draco Meteor, the effect of that item kicks in and so the attack has no other choice but to hit Piplup.

Giovanni and Miyamoto fell in love as teenagers, and conceived Jessie. Madame Boss was ''very'' upset at this, and refused to let the two see each other. That and Miyamoto's death [[FreudianExcuse turned him into a bitter man]]. Though he's very ashamed by Jessie failing to live up to the reputation of the woman he loved, since she's his daughter he feels he's obligated to keep both her and her friend's job. He may actually care about him, [[JerkassFacade but acts indifferent]] so no-one can catches on to their relationship, much less Jessie. He'd be criticized with {{Nepotism}}, and his enemies would take advantage of it. Plus it's not like Jessie needs an ego boost.

The last time we saw them, they were observing a captive Rayquaza with Dr. Sebastian during the prologue of the ninth movie. During the subsequent ''Diamond and Pearl'' series, Rayquaza is seen in space, suggesting that it somehow escaped. Then, in the ''Best Wishes'' arc, when the entire Team Rocket organization travels to Unova to capture the Kami Trio, Attila and Hun are conspicuously absent. Why would two high-ranking members with experience capturing Legendary Pokémon not be part of something like that?
Presumably, Rayquaza was able to escape from Team Rocket's clutches, and destroyed the lab where it was being held. Attila and Hun would have been killed during Rayquaza's escape.

[[WMG: [[Manga/PokemonSpecial Blue]] (the girl) writes for the anime.]]

* Ash's Aipom has male fur yet she's female. [[Manga/PokemonSpecial Chu]] looks like a boy. The entire Pikachu pack in ''Pikachu's Goodbye'' has male markings. Let's just say that gender differences are a Sinnoh thing that has been branching out into other regions.

** '''Highly''' Doubtful since [[spoiler:Iris is the Champion in those games.]] Not outright Jossed, however, as we ''have'' seen [[spoiler: a '''true''' champion abdicate his title]] in [[Manga/PokemonSpecial another adaptation]].

Pikachu has a very strong disposition for the [[OnePiece Color of Armaments haki]].

[[WMG: Ash will make it to the Finals of the Alolan League [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome and win...]]]]

** Partially canon, one episode they finally caught Pikachu via amnesia, making him a willing member of their team. The results were [[TastesLikeDiabetes pretty sugary]] [[HeartwarmingMoment to say the least]], till they sic him on Ash of course.

The theory is explained [[http://community.livejournal.com/pokemon/1575631.html here.]]

[[WMG: Harley believes May is evil as well as Harley, and Harley has Narcissistic Personality Disorder]]
Basically put, Harley misheard May when she was talking. Well, more like feared her. Harley told his Pokemon that May was bad, in New Plot, Odd Lot! Harley has been abused in the past. During his flashback of the young girl stealing his snacky, he said "it was the time when all the pressures of school, and all those obnoxious kiddy-poos, woukd lay off my back ever so briefly". He was made fun of harshly by his classmates. In the first fww years he was made fun of for being mean and for being girly. In the later years he was treated more harshly and was likely called gay, due to his male classmates noticing his appreciation of some of them. Harley has Narcissistic Personality Disorder on top of this. I made a thread for this, but it's best if I just sum it up:

1. Has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)
He always expects to be revered for his achievements, even if he messes up or just flat out loses, as he often does in battles.

2. Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
Well, he is a Pokemon Coordinator, and a pretty determined one at that, so you can't say he's not obsessed with power or beauty. As for love, I have no idea. He does however have a preoccupation with success however. As he said during the Kanto Grand Festival, Japanese Version (the English dub changed the script) "The Grand Festival Cup (or whatever the cup's name is) will be mine!" And let us not forget how he taunts Drew about beating him in battle afterwards.

3. Believes that he or she is “special”and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)
He believes he is special; all around beautiful, talented, amazing, superb, etc.He likes to be with talented coordinators, like Drew and Jesse(bella) before Harley decided she wasn't a good coordinator. He also likes other talented people such as Norman and Nurse Joy.

4. Requires excessive admiration
Well, there was that incident with the cookies (although in my opinion I think Harley thought May really WAS TRYING to insult him, but others might disagree). And let us not forget that we should shower Harley with complements, because he is great and supremely talented, and such.

5. Has a very strong sense of entitlement, e.g., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations
Again, if you insult Harley, someone’s gonna get hurt real bad, and it’s gonna be you.

6. Is exploitative of others, e.g., takes advantageof others to achieve his or her own ends
Those times he lied to May so she would either lose the contest or get disqualified from it entirely. Or when he used Team Rocket to defeat May in a contest and in return he promised he’d help them steal May’s Pokémon [although whether he actually meant that promise or not is up to fan interpretation, one could infer that because he stopped right when the twerps showed up and said that he’d rather have his Pokémon defeat May in battle instead (there’s that over-whelming, undeserved confidence again) that he was just bluffing].

7. Lacks empathy, e.g., is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others
Depends on the situation. Of course he’d be empathetic to the feelings of both his Pokémon and others’ as well. He’s even shown slight empathy to May, giving her small pep-talks before a battle (“just stay calm and keep the powder dry”), if only to give her a false sense of security or mess with her mind. For the most part however, he’s absolutely apathetic, possibly sadistic, to May. To Drew, he has insulted him at least twice, the third episode he showed up in, and the Grand Festival, and he absolutely loved (he was smiling with a big grin and LAUGHING) when Drew told May that he wasn’t weak like her and broke May’s feelings. It’s not shown if he reacts this way to all people or just those he picks on.

8. Is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her
He envies that May wins all the time. Does he just blow off a loss and wait for the next contest? NOOOOO!!!! He gets REVENGE!!! I’m not quite sure if he thinks others are envious of him, though it wouldn’t be much of a stretch. ...Wait, I remember he said something like: “Oh, you’re just jealous because I...” I forgot the rest. (It was from the first episode he was in, I think.)

9. Regularly shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes

It’s time to break out the quotes.

“If you’re gonna be throwing the word adorable around, you better be talking about YOURS TRULY!!”

“So what? It’s a competition, right?”

* bumps into May* “Move!”

“AUUGGGHHHH!!!! Stupid contest must have been RIGGED SOMEHOW!!!”

[[WMG: Harley has experienced some sort of sexual abuse.]]
I know this is a long shot, and maybe this is my inner fanfiction writer talking, but it seems to me Harley may have had some sexual experience prior to adult maturation. In Tezuki's book, the legal age to marry in the Pokemon world is 10 years old. Leaving theories of the age of consent being 10 years old aside, it appears that Clemont is able to marry at the age of 10. Excessive sexual behaviour is a symptom of sexual abuse. Harley exhibits excessive sexual behaviour. Harley is not the only character to act like this. Jesse, Brock, James, and even Meowth have acted in ways that would be considered excessive. My hypothesis is that Harley experienced some major form of sexual abuse, while the other main characters experienced some minor form of sexual abuse.

* 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 "[[EveryoneIsJesusInPurgatory Ash is Jesus, Delia is the Virgin Mary, and Ash's Father is Arceus]]". When your WMG would involve not only improbable occurences InUniverse (which is pretty much a common feature of everything in the WMG section) but RealLife CharacterDerailment (not to mention putting yourself in the crosshairs of PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad), it can firmly be considered {{Jossed}}. Same with the "Dawn is a {{Transsexual}} and Ash's father" guess up there, also commented (and not by me) to be at least pushing the bounds of WMG sanity.
