History WMG / PokemonRedAndBlue

[=MissingNo.=] has some connection to an alternate universe, as like above. [=MissingNo.=]'s presence is pulling the alternate universe into the same place as the normal one the game takes place in. When they align, [[SonicX time stops flowing properly]], thus explaining why time doesn't pass after you become the new champion and the credits roll. [=MissingNo.=] was screwing things up even before you started your journey, explaining why there is no night: [=MissingNo.=] had already fucked up time enough that the world isn't really spinning. Catching the glitch screws with graphics and your hall of fame, and duplicates your 6th item... because [[WhatTheHellPlayer you have just forced the worlds to blend somewhat]], messing up ''space'' as well as time in ways the mind cannot properly comprehend.

The games don't try to link Giovanni with Mewtwo, so that leads the question of why Mewtwo was commisioned-there must've been a reason why they were dead-set on making such a powerful Pokemon. We know Pokemon have been used in war(Lt Surge's Electric Pokemon, the the implications of Victini being a FantasticNuke), so trying to make a super-powerful Pokemon as a WMD isn't out of left field. This would go to explain why Mewtwo is such a beast-the people funding its creation wanted an intelligent bio-weapon [[CurbStompBattle to win without effort.]] Naturally Mewtwo didn't like that, [[GoneHorriblyRight and demonstrated their weapon's power.]] When Pokemon with [[OlympusMon comparable level of power were discovered]], Mega Stones were commisioned to ensure Mewtwo would be the ultimate weapon. These were completed after Mewtwo's rampage, so they buried them in order to not get in trouble. This may go to explain why Mewtwo is content with you training it: it gets to enact its natural desire for fighting, but not as a tool.

They're both the same colour(even when shiny), and both the only Pokemon who know Transform. Mew can learn just about any move, and Ditto can copy moves via Transform. Mew is described as being an ancestor of all Pokemon, while Ditto [[AnythingThatMoves breeds with all non-legendary and non-baby Pokemon]]. Ditto is actually the primitive pre-evolution of Mew. The reason why you can't breed them from Mew/get Ditto to evolve is because Ditto can only evolve in time(and given they're probably indestructible, [[TimeAbyss will be a while]]), and Mew refuse to breed for you.
* Maybe ditto needs to collect DNA samples from hundreds of other pokemon species before it can maintain a stable form and learn moves permanently. That would explain hoe mew has the DNA sequences of all (or at least most) other pokemon and why mew are so rare. Breeding with other pokemon is one strategy for collecting the DNA if, say, a rampaging tauros won't sit still for a cheek swab.

[[WMG: Mew's stats will rise closer to Mewtwo's as time goes on]]

* Splicing together other Pokemon were an attempt at shortening the time it takes for Mew to mature, though this came with the downside of shrinking its movepool

Ditto represents the embryonic/zygote stage of a living being: it's effectively a mass of stem cells that have an undetermined fate. This would go to explain its Transform move-it is trying to decide what it will turn into. Mew represents the fetus. Finally, Mewtwo represents the adult form.

[[WMG: the Mew glitch was intentional]]

My idea is Ditto failed clone of Mew made by Team Rocket when trying to make MewTwo. They tried to make MewTwo from scratch but the sentient structure didn't hold and wound up being a sentient blob of cells. With it's net intelligence can reform its cells into whatever it sees, not because it has the DNA of every Pokemon.

[[WMG: Diglett have weaponize genitalia.]]

[[WMG:It's not that Poliwrath swims fater than the best swimmer]]

They are all humanoid, single-gender Pokemon, introduced in the first generation with pre-evolutions introduced later. Mr. Mime would have been a better counterpart to Jinx, but Mr. Mime comes in both genders.

[[WMG: All Makikarp used to be [[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire Relicanth]].]]
In the Pokedex entry for Magikarp in Pokemon Leaf Green, it states that in the distant past, Magikarp used to be somewhat stronger. Relicanth is an ancient Pokemon. My theory is that a long, long time ago there was a great migration of Relicanth inland, they then slowly changed into Magikarp, losing their power in the process due to lack of use. Some Relicanth stayed in the deep ocean though, which is why you can find them still in ocean trenches.

It's like in ChocobosDungeon 2. Early in the game, you chase a Guz, a very weak enemy, out of a crystal chamber. But you get thrown out, and the Guz stays behind and touches the crystal. It wishes for power. Over time, it became an EldritchAbomination, tearing apart time and space.

[[WMG: Professor Oak and/or his son is an [[AbsurdlyYouthfulMother Absurdly Youthful Father]].]]
His age is established as fifty in Pokemon Gold and Silver, which would make him 47 during the events of Pokemon Red and Blue. Blue is the same age as Red(10 or 11), and his sister Daisy is older than him. This'd make him at most his mid-thirties when becoming a grandfather. Either he had kids has a teenager, his son did, or both.

People only tell the protagonist that Farfetch'd use leeks as swords for the same possible reason they say Pokemon eggs appear out of nowhere: Farfetch'd were stuffed with leeks when cooked pre-G1, and they just want to return the favor, [[{{Negima}} in a way that's said to reduce fever]]. Which is extremely inappropriate for a ten-year-old to hear. None of them ever tried to "prepare Ash for broiling" because Pikachu would have killed them with electricity. [[NeverSayDie Dead]]. (Alternately, they could spare the children, except those who actively hunt and cook Farfetch'd.)

** The above comment will be the spark of a horrific war between TVTropes and Wikia.

He may have come out as a boy recently before the start of the game, and Professor Oak asks the player character for his grand[i]son[/i]'s name because he doesn't want to be disrespectful of his gender identity by referring to him with a dead name.

* Apperantly, you have never read PokemonSpecial. In it, we find out that the Cinnabar gym leader, Blane, was one of the head scientists in the Mewtwo project. We also find out that, because Mewtwo was unable to stabilize itself with the DNA it had, Blane had to add some of his own DNA into the mix. It works, but it also causes Blane to get some form of genetic mutation on his arm from the Mewtwo DNA, which, coincidentally, serves as a nice compass to tell you where Mewtwo is. Therefore, this is a proven fact, at least in one of the manga versions.

Between Brock [[WalkingShirtlessScene showing off his bare muscular chest]] and Misty [[WalkingSwimsuitScene wearing just a two-piece bikini]], it seems likely that whoever is in charge of Gym Leader regulations in Kanto decided that their outfits were to inappropriate (or [[DistractedByTheSexy too distracting]]) for adults/teenagers who were facing off against younger individuals. Of course, knowing [[VainBeauty Misty]], the "distracting" part may have been intentional.

[[WMG: Sabrina might get an Espurr/Meowjestic in later games]]
Well she and the Espurr line have a lot in common. ([[AddedAllerativeAppeal powerful psychic powers]], and maybe the desire to restrain them so that they would not harm people.) I'm not sure how this applies to the gym match, but she will defintly have a Meowjestic in the rematches and possible Johto remakes)

An alternative to the "Team Rocket Blue" theory. Giovanni does look like he could be Professor Oak's age, so it could work. Giovanni is Blue's maternal grandfather from either early in a long-running marriage, or from a previous wife(which would make Silver Gary's uncle/half-uncle). Gary inherited a bunch of traits from the man, however he isn't as bad as Silver was because Giovanni was a relative rather than directly raising him. Instead of being a member of Team Rocket, he's a potential heir and gets privileges as family. Silver's much older sister/half-sister isn't interested in the family drama, but does let his son and father hang out. Blue's Rhydon was a gift from Giovanni, and as his more public descendant Gary got to inherit the Viridian Gym. Despite his kind heart, Professor Oak never interferes with Team Rocket because he doesn't want to interfere in family matters.

This is a common theory among the fandom that explains the red "markings" in Machoke's arms, and why that's the only stage that has them. The Machop line's muscles grow bigger as it grows older and reaches its final form. In his first stage, Machop's muscles aren't that developed yet, so his arms aren't that big. As his muscles grow bigger and becomes a Machoke, his arms' muscles start becoming ''too'' big, so their skin gets torn and exposes the flesh, resulting in the "markings" you see. Eventually, his arm muscles grow so big that they cause the arms to split, resulting in the four-armed Machamp. At this stage, the Pokémon has reached his pinnacle and his muscles stopped growing, so his arms' skin no longer gets torn. This may also explain why it has to wear that belt, which is stated to be a PowerLimiter by the Pokédex: without it, his muscles would grow too fast and tear his body apart. His base stage, Machop, doesn't need it since his muscles are in its early stages and are still pretty small.
