History WMG / PokemonOpenOne

* The games say "evolve" because "metamorphosis" would have looked out of place in a Gen 1/2 text box, whose lines are 16 characters wide. "Morphing" is as long as "evolving", but the PowerRangers [[DisneyOwnsThisTrope would sue]].

* If we take [[JustForFun/PokemonVietnameseCrystal Pokemon Vietnamese Crystal]] as canon, one of the characters has a foe-"The Trashy Man." Perhaps it's a reference to Donald Merwin Elbert, which would put Pokemon in the same universe as ''[[Literature/TheStand The Stand]]''.

* Humans are sprites from ReBoot? Does that mean that the symbol on Ash's hat is his icon? And that Poke Balls use "compression algorithms" to make the Pokemon fit inside? This seems fantastically unlikely, since there are no zip-boards. On the other hand, the digitization could have been a carefully harnessed game...

Meh, pretty SelfExplanatory. The Pokedex is just some type of Personal computer with an internet connection, accessing the wiki. Developing technology made the synthetic voice thing, and some sensor knows which Pokemon page to access. That would explain why the info is irrelevant and essentially useless. It also explains why some of the info implies cruelty to Pokemon, as pointed out earlier on the page.

** Or ''Main/TheSims 2'', with the University expansion installed (for the "Young Adult" stage).

General {{Wild Mass Guess}}ing for the {{Pokemon}} [[SeriesFranchise franchise]]. This includes theories that span multiple generations and [[SpinOff multiple]] {{Canon}}.

** [[Main/Soylent_Green Soylent Green]] is [[strike:people]] Pokémon!

This also conveniently gets around the "eat massive amounts of food without defecation" problem. They convert food directly into either energy to power them and their attacks, or to matter to form the next generation in their family. Hence why [[SoylentGreen Pokemon food is made of Pokemon]]! It all makes sense!)

** [[SoylentGreen Baby Pokemon]] gone [[{{Squick}} horribly, horribly wrong]].

* Well, it is mentioned that Feraligatr (the most BadAss Pokemon to date) have been known to eat humans, the reverse is probably true as well.

* TengenToppaGurrenLagann pretty much confirms this.

**** If this happens, I shall name it [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Lagann]]

* Technically, we've seen real normal schools, too. Remember the episode with Mira? (The girl you escort in Wayward Cave in DPPt.) Her Sandshrew's Poke Ball had been left in her locker at school. Granted, this school was now at the bottom of a lake and therefore not currently functioning, but meh.

*** Option 4: They are humans. The anime showed an episode where there was a Nurse Joy training school. Jessie applied and was rejected, but still. The Joy look could be part of the uniform. Mind you, it still doesn't explain how all the Kanto and Johto Joys are related, but hey, the anime shows Pikachu aiming for the horn. As for the games, well, Joggers aren't a species of Pokemon, yet they all share the same sprite. One can assume that Joy (I don't believe there is any officer officially referred to as Jenny in the games) is a job title. So instead of, say, Nurse May, they would be called Nurse Joy May, to show a difference between nurses for humans and nurses for Pokemon. Also, the contests in DPPt have a Nurse Joy enter, and she has a different name. Yet she still has the same appearance... Well, guess I have my own WMG to add now.

* This could imply that Pokemon is the future of the Main/DistantFinale given at the end of DigimonAdventure02.

* So ''Pokemon'' is the future of the ''{{Mushishi}}'' world?

This theory comes from PokemonX: Pokemon, when they defeat an enemy, get some sort of psychological boost that makes them produce a kind of hormone. This hormone may also be produced naturally upon reaching adolescence. It causes slight changes to their cells, making them stronger, until they reach a certain level (as in, a certain saturation of hormones) or meet certain conditions that change how the hormones work. They then evolve into their next form.

[[WMG:The Pokémon Card GB games are a split universe literally split by a neo Plasma, on the other side of which is PokemonMysteryDungeon]]
Since there weren't any Pokémon left, the humans make Pokémon cards so they can still battle and trade Pokémon, because they're sad the Pokémon are gone. Note how there aren't any actual Pokémon at all in the TCG video games - just cards. Over centuries, this becomes their entire way of life. Meanwhile, in the world of PokemonMysteryDungeon, a pair of Mew realized that they could bring humans back by transforming into them and getting each other pregnant, since Mew has the DNA of humans and all the Pokémon. They tried, and they succeeded in gestating a human baby: you from the sequel. The baby had a Dream World ability "Dimensional Scream". Unfortunately, they did it right before the planet was being paralyzed, and after Darkrai paralyzed the planet, Darkrai had Dusknoir (then still the Duskull from Duskull Bank, tainted by Darkrai's promises of riches, because he loves money) kill the Mew for trying to recreate a species that could prevent his evil plan. The human baby crawled away from Duskull. A Treecko discovered him and took him home, and the baby was [[RaisedByWolves raised by Sceptile]], so he learned PokemonSpeak. The Treecko evolved into Grovyle and the baby grew up into a teenager and they decided to do something about the world. So they made a stand, but then Dusclops came and killed Grovyle's parents, too. They made secret bases and did research on Time Gears and also made their plans and met Celebi.

* I'm sensing an [[NeonGenesisEvangelion EVA]] story here. Lillum versus Pokémon.

*** So the Pokédex is the [[HitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy Hitchhiker's Guide]]?

* Pokemon are the more complex later versions of the robots from WesternAnimation/{{WALL-E}}! They can all say their own name. The reason the Pokemon world is shaped like bits of Japan, but with major differences, is that this all occurs after the returning humans "fix" the earth. The reason they have such technology as Pokemon Centers and teleportation, but still use bicycles, is that the entire planet is ecologically minded: They use bikes (low-tech) and Pokemon and teleportation (super-high tech) instead of electric cars and motorcycles as much as possible.

Oh, and there's more. Red is [[Main/ForScience either extremely dedicated to scientific enquiry]] or [[Main/HeroicSociopath just plain likes to hurt things.]] Therefore, Red's rival is the ''good'' guy trying to stop Red's mad experiments.
