History WMG / PokemonColosseum

Really want to be wrong here, but it would explain his absence during the sequel...

* Possibly {{Jossed}} for a few reasons: The games and anime are separate continuity, Colosseum takes place around the same time as FRLG and RSE, and in Colosseum Eagun says that he's never "seen a Ho-oh that close before."

And Peons are agent smiths.
** Then all of Pokemon takes place in the Matrix, since pretty much all the higher ups in every evil team save Plasma are called Admins.

[[WMG: The Peons aren't really clinging to the ceilings. They're using ''Portal'' technology!]]

Unova's right next door if the Pokeworld geography is at all similar, and they raged across half the continent during their big battle. Maybe Orre was a main battleground.

[[WMG: Rui and the protagonist of XD are related.]]
Seriously I can't be the only one who thought this. They both have red hair and have something to do with shadow pokemon. Also it would kinda make sense. After the events of Colosseum, Rui is so distraught, and so determined to ensure that Cipher to never makes Shadow Pokemon again, that she goes to her mother/aunt (the protagonist's mother) and asks her to help people prevent this from ever happening again. It would be very easy to develop the aura reader if they had a biological example right in front of them.
** Then wouldn't that mean that the XD protagonist is also related to Eagun and Belluh, who both are clearly unfamiliar with him when they first meet? Eagun could be excused as simply being scatter-brained, but Belluh seems to be the sensible and rational one, who could easily remember a grandson or grand-nephew or whatever relation they might be.
*** Original poster here. I see what you mean. Well, it could be that they just never met him, as the main character doesn't seem to recognize them either. Still, that is a good point you bring up.

[[WMG: Wes spent the time period in between Colesseum and XD working to renew Orre for wild Pokemon.]]
Cause.

Gonzap likely captured it at some point after Wes blows up the headquarters, and had it turned into a shadow Pokemon.

* Jossed for various reasons: the games and anime are separate continuity, Colosseum takes place around the same time as FRLG and RSE, and in Colosseum Eagun says that he's never "seen a Ho-oh that close before." Also because it's a stupid theory.

* Curse you, fanfic plot bunnies!

[[WMG: The Protagonist of XD has a Death Note.]]

There's the obvious evidence that Eagun is older Ash, of course. There's the FLYING. FUCKING. CARS. (Or just the tech in general--it seems a lot more advanced than any other gen.(Silph Co. seems almost to par with Orre but even THEY didn't have FLYING. CARS.)) There's also the lack of any Pokemon League that may have deteriorated over time, but that could always just be physical isolation. In a similar vein, the lack of wild Pokemon (at least in Colosseum) hints that Orre wasn't always a desert, because TONS of animals live in the desert IRL.

** "Obvious evidence that Eagun is older Ash"? Um, no. See further above on the page for reasons why. Particularly the "it's a stupid theory" part.

Note the only presence of law enforcement is in Pyrite (checking a map of Arizona puts it in Maricopa County, known for its tough Sheriff). Arizona at the time of the game's release had a noticeably incompetent Governor. Note that aside from Kanto, the villain teams are all opposed by the regions' champions; the reason Battlus isn't doing anything about Cipher is that the current gov is holding him back.

"left for parts unknown"? While just an excuse to not have him crush Cipher in XD, seems interesting. My guess is he will be in the Contest of Champions Cynthia suggests in Black and White when it comes about.

[[WMG: The 3 uncaptured and unrepentant CompleteMonster villains will team up]]
Ardos, [[strike:Dennis]] Geetis[=/=]Dark Trinity and Cyrus will team up. A match made in... I'd say hell, but it's often interpreted as exactly what Cyrus wants. As for why Cyrus (destroy the world and remake it without emotion) will team up with the other two/five, to quote Bulbapedia "Shadow Pokémon are created through an undisclosed process that '''removes the Pokémon's emotions''', turning it into a soulless fighting machine" and Ein refers to the process as "shutting the door to their hearts", perhaps he would like to use the process on '''humans''', all 3 are easily sick enough to do it. Bonus sicko points if he does it (and Ardos goes along with it) on Eldes, who tries to stop him. Given we have a Wii game coming out, rumored to be an XD like game, it may not need to wait till next gen.

DPPHGSS takes place 3 years after RSFRLGE. Bonsly is refered to as a new species 5 years after Colo in XD.
* Maybe. The "new species" thing is referring to it being introduced in Generation IV, not to it being newly discovered. As a sidenote to that, the only confirmed part about the timeline is that three years pass between RBY/FRLG and GSC/DPP/HGSS, there's no proof for when RSE, Colo, or XD take place/

* He doesn't look 4.

[[WMG: Michael is actually Wes and Rui's son.]]
Wes and Rui married and retired as trainers, but noticed suspicious activity and feared that Team Snagem was not really finished. With the conception of their first child, they made an agreement. They are confident that this child will want to oppose Team Snagem and be a great Pokemon Trainer. They also plan to leave the region to live in peace somewhere and wish to know that Orre will be safe in the future. The child was born and named Michael. When the boy was a number of months old, Wes and Rui went back in time. First of all, certain Pokemon have been known to transcend time. Also, with the technology displayed in the game, time travel doesn’t seem like that much of a stretch. Anyway, they gave the boy to Lily and her husband to raise, along with an Eevee egg, the parent of which is ether Wes' Espion or Umbreon (Or possibly both, should they be of the opposite gender). Whats more, they ask the segregate parents to not let anyone know that Michael is their child, as to protect him from Team Snagem until he is ready. Also, the machine that Michael has doesn’t really work, he has inherited his mother's ability to sense Shadow Pokemon. The machine is just another step to keep him or anyone else from discovering that he is Wes and Rui's son, by hiding this ability.

This explains a number of things. First, how Michael looks like Rui rather then Lily or Jovy. Also, how he received an Eevee that was from his father, when Eevee is understood to be quite a rare Pokemon. It also explains Michael's serious demeanor, drive to oppose Team Snagem, and what seems to be natural talent for capturing and purifying Shadow Pokemon, all of which he has gotten from Wes. It also explains why, even after losing her husband, Lily would allow her ten-year-old son to go off on his own to fight an evil organization. Because he was not really her child, and it's what his real parents wanted of him.
