History WMG / PokemonRedAndBlue

Both she and Professor Oak were rivals as children, and seem to be on good terms. It's possible that [[FoeYay they used to date/were married]], but divorced some time ago. Blue must've inherited some of her jerkassery.
* Alternately, she's Blue's grandma on the opposite side of the family, for those who don't like FoeYay. Plus, the idea of Agatha and Oak being rivals, and their kids eventually getting married, would be some rather funny {{Irony}}.

She knew Oak back when they were kids, and [[FoeYay her dialogue]] hints they could've had romantic feelings to one another.

[[WMG: Tangela was originally planned to be found in the grass above Pallet instead of beneith.]]

* ...[[EveryoneIsGay Good gym leader relations]] indeed.

(This is a Watsonian explanation for the look and names of Gen 1 NPCs.)

[[WMG: The player character suffers from partial or total face blindness.]]
(This is a Watsonian explanation for the look and names of Gen 1 NPCs.)
He perceives the humans around him based on very broad categories: people on the street are only distinguished based on their clothes and maybe their age range. Even trainers that he fight are referred to things like "Lass", "Shorts Kid", "Swimmer", "Hiker", etc. (starting from Gen 2, they all have names, even the otherwise identical Kimono Girls). Gym leaders are identified either based on the fact that they're always standing in a unique position in every gym (and the Elite 4 are fought in specific arenas), or he's forced himself to remember some sort of distinguishing characteristic. Professor Oak is pretty much the most famous Pokemon Professor of the region, and has lived next door to the MC all their life; ditto the rival, but the player character probably wouldn't recognize the rival's sister if they met outside of her house (because that's the most likely context that the MC would have met the rival's siter).

He can identify Pokemon by species just fine because 1) he's obsessed with them and 2) they have far more distinguishable features, but he still can't tell individual Pokes apart--he can't even distinguish gender differences!

[[WMG: MissingNo. are the living embodiment of the Pokeball's red laser thing]]

This could explain MissingNo.'s reality warping abilities to an extent. It converts whatever data it touches to living material, and whatever living material it touches to data.

[[WMG: MissingNo. ''is'' an EldritchAbomination, but it's a TragicMonster]]

[[WMG: [[TheMissingno MissingNo.]] is the original, pre-ContinuityReboot version of [[StarfishAliens Deo]][[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire xys]]]]

** Are you suggesting that Red used [[GoodBadBugs a glitch]]? Why would he not evolve Pikachu, then? Evolved forms are usually stronger... And that's for the original versions. The [[VideoGameRemake remakes on the GBA]] lack [[TheMissingno Missingno.]] and its fellow glitches, and I'm pretty sure [=HeartGold and SoulSilver=] follow from them, or more to the point, from a never-planned, never-released "third version" that would have been to Yellow what [=FireRed and LeafGreen=] were to Red and Blue. However, we also don't have evidence that he ''didn't'' trade to get them either.

This, then, neatly explains the GameplayAndStorySeperation: the Pokedex entry is referring to "first generation" Cubones, those orphaned Charmanders. Marowak is a divergent evolution, which is why it doesn't change shape so much compared to its Cubone state; the skulls those Cubones wear are salvaged from the corpses of other Charizards, or may be passed down from their parents, who no longer need skull helmets after evolving.

* Apparently, you have never read ''Manga/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.

In which case it will be called Pokemon [[WaterIsBlue Water Blue]], [[EverythingsBetterInLatin Aqua]] Blue or even [[TechnoBabble H20]] Blue.

[[WMG: Blue is Giovanni's grandson.]]
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 her 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 handily explains why he has only five spaces despite supposedly owning two Pokemon not in his team; The Raticate was taking a well-deserved break (or [[PoisonOakEpilepticTrees feeding the soil in the Pokemon Tower]]), and the Cubone was either sent off or left in a box because Blue couldn't stand to treat it with even his idea of respect after it harmed his Raticate beyond the normal limits of battling. My guesses for what it did: Intentionally landed a strong attack on Raticate after it had already fainted, before Blue could recall it, or [[PoisonOakEpilepticTrees killed it]]. Alternately, wanted to leave a space open for the Marowak/Cubone and/or was lying about catching a Cubone in the first place, but the former seems a bit roundabout.

Their waste get absorbs by their bulbs/plants as natural fertilizer.

They are the [[ComMon Tentacool]] of the Ultra Space.

Thus, the various "glitch" Pokemon are reality-warping horrors whose very presence twists the world around them. In fact, given [=MissingNo.=]'s multiple different forms, it could be an incarnation of [[Main/CthulhuMythos Nyarlathotep]]; after all, those who encounter [=MissingNo.=] and receive its item duplication boon are likely to chase after other "glitch" Pokemon as well, and even those who don't risk seriously destabilizing the Pokemon world by abusing their nigh-endless supply of Rare Candies and Master Balls. Both would fit perfectly with Nyarlathotep's goals of spreading chaos and insanity.

She wanted to join them, but unfortunately, even if Lance can be the Champion, Viridian Gym still needs a Leader. As Gym Leader, she acts as a FinalExamBoss, her goal being to use the other Leaders' ace Pokemon all at once (Onix, Starmie, Raichu, Venomoth, Alakazam, and Arcanine, with Janine's Venomoth not being used due to redundancy with Vileplume) to make Trainers synergize the strategies they used for each Gym up to that point. However, her style is largely more advanced (setting up Stealth Rock with Onix, Starmie and Raichu setting up Rain Dance for each other to use Thunder, Arcanine and Vileplume do the same with Sunny Day and Solar Beam, plus Chlorophyll for the latter, Raichu and Venomoth use Volt Switch and U-Turn to get out of trouble, and Dual Screens Alakazam.
