History WMG / PokemonOpenThree

** Yeah, [[CanadaEh eh]]? Apparently, we annexed New York in the Pokéverse.

* This also explains why Cyrus needed the red chain to control Palkia and Dialga; it's the only way to unlock the power needed to create a world without spirit. Simply capturing them will only give him strong pokémon like the protagonist, and nothing else.

* Any legendary owned by another trainer couldn't be unique (except snaggable legendaries from the UsefulNotes/NintendoGameCube games.)

* [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Sevii Islands]], [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Orange Archipelago, Decolore Islands]], [[VideoGame/PokemonSnap Pokémon Island]], [[VideoGame/PokemonChannel Mintale Town]]: All part of the Kanto region.

* [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Lucario Kingdom]]: Not part of Sinnoh, but located within its boundaries.
* [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Mirage Kingdom]]: It's already canon that the Mirage Kingdom is a separate nation within Hoenn.

* This also explains why Cyrus needed the red chain to control Palkia and Dialga; it's the only way to unlock the power needed to create a world without spirit. Simply capturing them will only give him strong pokémon like the protagonist, and nothing else.

[[WMG: Bill's identity]]
Bill apparently invented the Pokeverse's equivalent of cloud storage. Wait a minute, don't we know a computing pioneer in the real world who was responsible for popularizing a computing technology that half the world has been using for decades, and whose name happens to be Bill as well...?

On the flip side, Bill's Japanese name, ''Son''ezaki ''Masa''ki, is suspiciously similar to ''Son'' ''Masa''yoshi, founder of the massive software and telecommunications corporation Softbank. Coincidence? You be the judge.

* This also explains why Cyrus needed the red chain to control Palkia and Dialga; it's the only way to unlock the power needed to create a world without spirit. Simply capturing them will only give him strong pokémon like the protagonist, and nothing else.

[[WMG: All Pokemon, not just Porygon, are made from data.]]

* Pokemon can apparently be stored in computers and transmitted through the internet. While this may be some kind of teleporter network, there do not appear to be teleporters anywhere near the various [=PCs=].
* Porygon is suspiciously similar to most other Pokemon for being a virtually created Pokemon.
* Poke Balls can apparently store any Pokemon, regardless of mass. If we assume that Pokemon are virtual, then this makes more sense. After all, data does not actually have mass.
* Pokemon breeding is more or less a mystery. Since data can be copied nearly instantly depending on the machine, it's possible that eggs are generated nearly instantaneously.
* No matter how powerful a Pokemon attack is, it never kills the Pokemon it's used on. This could be explained as some sort of program.

So it's quite possible that Porygon isn't the only virtual Pokemon, only the first man-made virtual Pokemon. Expanding on this further, Porygon may have been created by modifying the "data" of one or more existing Pokemon species. As for Missingno? An ''in-story'' glitch Pokemon caused by Porygon's creators not knowing what they were doing at first.

* So starting with Porygon, they know how to make pokemon. That's why the number of pokemon available jumped from the original 151 to 252 soon after it's invention!
** All those "Pokémon are actually virtual data" examples apply just because ''it's a videogame'', but they don't really make sense from an in-world point of view. Many Pokédex entries point out how they exist in a biological sense (evident in many types, like Water or Grass; Tropious is able to produce fruit. The humans eat that fruit. Are they eating virtual data? How does Squirtle create virtual water?). If they can be created by humans, then all humans should be able to create their own freely, without the need to walk around and throw Pokéballs at them. And most of all...if they are virtual, this means there's some kind of electrically-powered machine that constantly keeps them alive...[[FridgeHorror oh crap]].
*** Then, as an alternative: '''Pokemon are the result of a world with molecular nanotechnology.'''
*** Pokemon are so powerful because they are either the result of altering data of real animals, or completely new creatures that have been designed from the ground up. Possibly both.
*** Whenever a Pokemon is caught into a Pokeball, the Pokemon is actually analyzed and demolished at a molecular level, so that the Pokeball actually only contains data, not a physical Pokemon. Conversely, a Pokemon does not "get out" of its pokeball; instead, it is rebuilt in real time, starting from the data that are saved into the pokeball.
*** What [=TM=]s and [=HM=]s is to modify the data that are stored into a pokeball. When the Pokemon is recreated, it knows new moves because its data have been altered. Thus, it has technically become a different specimen of its species.
*** Pokemon are not literally transmitted through the Internet; instead, only their data is. What happens during a transmission is that a Pokemon's molecules are disassembled and analyzed, and they presumably turn into atmospheric gases. Then the data are transmitted, and when the Pokemon is "recovered" at a different location, local atmospheric gases are assembled into organic compounds that build an identical Pokemon.
*** Pokemon regularly die in battles: the whole "fainted" business is only a facade to prevent kids from experiencing useless traumas, because Pokemon can be recovered from earlier backups, which Pokemon centers refer to as "healing Pokemon".
*** [=MissingNo=] and other glitch Pokemon exist because the software that controls molecular nanotechnology is buggy. When it malfunctions, it modifies the environment that surrounds the Pokemon in unpredictable ways.

[[WMG: Pokemon don't reproduce sexually.]]

* In Solaceon town, an NPC wonders if someone might be leaving the eggs there, so I kinda pictured that some ninja sneaks into the daycare when no one is looking and puts an egg down next to the female Pokemon, and then leaves without saying a word, much to the Pokemon's confusion. I don't know where the ninja gets the eggs from though...
** So Arceus is really just a giant Poke-stork and not a god like we all thought before? The place Cynthia takes us in HGSS isn't really Arceus creating something, but just picking up said Pokemon from the mystical Poke-baby factory in the sky? I guess that makes sense.

The trainer simply lets a Pokemon watch the DVD. Now, if someone more well-versed with DVD technology could help me explain the [=TMs'=] one-use nature...

* This fits pretty well with the Teachy TV key item in Fire Red and Leaf Green...

[[WMG: Pokemon is set in the future.]]
The reason Pikachu and other Pokemon are referred to things like "mouse Pokemon" or "bird Pokemon" is because they are what evolved out of those animals. People know about them in the same way we know about dinosaurs. The reason the technology isn't super advanced is because some kind of war set humans back, but some advanced systems still exist (such as the PC system). The way peace and unity was brought to the world was by getting everyone's mind off of humanity. By making people's lives revolve entirely around Pokemon, nobody cared really cared about ''their'' civilization anymore. People are taught from an early age that their entire existence revolves around Pokemon, which is why no one in the game seems to care about humanity and just about Pokemon.

[[WMG: Poke Mart is a communist organization that runs the Pokemon world and created all the Pokemon.]]
Okay, think about it. There's a Poke Mart in every important town or city, and who would benefit the most from people battling their little monsters and such? Who provides the majority of trainer items? Poke Mart. Also note the seeming lack of actual government in the Pokeverse. The truth must be that there is someone regulating everything. And who better than the shop that provides all of a trainer's needs? The reason Pokemon Centers are free is to throw trainers off their trail. Further proof is the Pokegear in HG/SS. Do not try to tell me the red theme is NOT a communist theme. The stores that sell herbs and such are just there because Pokemart doesn't see any point in marketing to a small villages like those.
On to creation of Pokemon. As the central government of the world, they decide what people know. Why do you think that no one knew about Johto Pokemon until three years after Kanto, even though Elm had been there for a while? Same thing goes for Hoenn and Sinnoh. Birch and Rowan are colleagues of Oak, and have been in their respective regions. So why didn't Oak know about these region's Pokemon? It's because Pokemart has to create new Pokemon every so often to keep trainers' attention. Also, ten-year-olds are gullible, so Poke Mart can easily control them. The fossil Pokemon are just set up by Poke Mart for archaeologists to find. They created all the mythology themselves. Team Rocket wanted to take over and set up a capitalistic system. Poke Mart knew and decided to see what would happen if a child defeated them. The other groups were just idiots that Poke Mart let roam free, because they had a new candidate for league champ running around prepared to stop them. The people don't care that you're using super powerful legends because they've been brainwashed. In the Johto storyline, Red is isolated because he is the ultimate communist, and Pokemart was afraid he might lead a march against them, so they ordered him to stay there until he was beaten. That trainer would be their next pawn.

[[WMG: Baby Pokemon ''do'' exist in nature.]]
However, the way they breed is completely different from how Pokemon eggs are made
* In nature: Pokemon eggs are a rare method of breeding. They normally breed in a logical manner(mammalian Pokemon get preggers, reptilian Pokemon lay eggs, fish Pokemon externally fertilize, ect). For the most part, [[InterspeciesRelationship interspecies breeding]] doesn't happen.
* In day cares: In order to get eggs faster, the Day Care people give them drugs that speeds up the process. The result is that all Pokemon there lay eggs, and Pokemon are so flexible [[HotSkittyOnWailordAction size difference doesn't matter anymore.]]

[[WMG:The Pokémon world has common sayings that reference Pokémon instead of animals.]]

The Pokémon themselves were mere pieces of said being used to bring forth the creation of Sinnoh and possibly the entire universe. This was supported by Pokemon Legends: Arceus, as you can obtain a piece of them after you battle said monster. So anyone that claimed to have captured god, only to be disappointed that they only capture

...their parents tell them that babies are brought by Pelipper.

They're all otherworldly (though we don't know for sure in Terapagos's case) legendary Pokémon who have mineral-like bodies and produce powerful energies, and pieces of their bodies can imbue Pokémon with these energies. Perhaps they're all siblings of a sort, variants of a single taxon, avatars of Arceus or another god, presumably a god of energy, or disconnected parts of a single being like with the Tao trio. Now, as for who our Mega source is, it could be any one of the Axis trio (Xerneas has sort of a sharp, glittery gemstone look to it, the bands on Yveltal could be like rock layers, and Zygarde is a Ground-type, not to mention Sycamore's hypothesis that Mega evolution came from the Ultimate Weapon, which was powered by these Pokémon) or a combined form of either Xerneas and Yveltal or all three of them (who says they didn't come here from somewhere else?), it could be Rayquaza (which the Draconids believe is the source of Mega Evolution, can Mega Evolve without a Mega Stone, can survive in and is basically native to space, and eats meteorites, perhaps hinting at it having alternate biochemistry and possibly a mineral-like body like the others), it could be Diancie, which is connected to Kalos, is made of diamonds, and can also Mega Evolve, or it could be some as-of-yet unrevealed Pokémon appearing in a future generation.

Why else would they [[Literature/{{Twilight}} sparkle]]?

Just as you're sent to Sinnoh in the past for ''VideoGame/PokemonLegendsArceus'', for Unova, you'll be sent to the future. The plot will involve having to stop a splinter group from Team Plasma developing a newer, more advanced, and stronger form of Genesect, and the setting would either be TheApunkalypse or CrystalSpiresAndTogas. You'll also find Emmet there.

"Hold your Ponyta," "don't let the Skitty out of the bag," "he has the memory of a Goldeen," "Beedrill in your bonnet," "this business is a money Miltank" (instead of "cash cow"), "take the Tauros by the horns," etc.

Following off the above. In the Generation II games and their remakes, what did Red have? Pikachu, unevolved (as it would be from Yellow) yet still at the highest level, indicating that it was likely his starter, and all three R/B starters at full evolution, as can only be legitimately gained in Yellow without trading[[note]]Please ignore [[GlitchEntity Missingno.]] and [[GoodBadBugs the Mew Glitch]] for the moment, as they are illusions of the FourthWall, nothing more[[/note]]. What events did the Generation II remakes add to the original story? The Unown rooms, Eusine, and the player character being somehow chosen by Suicune, among other things, plus even more Legendary involvement and the Kimono Girls' [[AscendedExtra ascension from nobodies]]. Not only that, but the newer generations [[MergingTheBranches work in]] the storylines of both of their [[OneGameForThePriceOfTwo earlier installments]] into the third version, with even more storyline beyond that. As for Generations [[DorkAge III]] and [[SugarWiki/SoCoolItsAwesome IV]], the "canon" remakes were clearly skipped, but would have been to ''Yellow'' and ''Crystal'' what the existing remakes were to the base installments.

When you transfer a Pokémon from a previous game, its status screen states that it arrived by traveling through space and time. It also may lose some of its memories (losing the ability to use old moves). Sounds a lot like the Faller phenomenon, doesn't it? It could be that the various transfer methods tap into similar in-universe mechanics to those that create Fallers. Now, in the earlier games, the ability to transfer Pokémon between games was generally limited, but it was made much easier to do when Pokémon Bank was introduced- which happens to be the same generation that introduced Fallers. Maybe, as more and more transfers began to happen, it created instability that resulted in humans being "transferred" as well as Pokémon.

[[WMG: Mega Rayquaza is a disciple of [[LetsPlay/TwitchPlaysPokemon Lord Helix]].]]

The radiation also causes an effect similar to The ComicBook/IncredibleHulk, making them stronger but less smart and/or nice, so perhaps it contains a type of gamma radiation?

Causing the FanDumb to say [[VindicatedByHistory that they liked Gen 8 now]], that they don't like the new studio's ideas which may consist of making the franchise entirely mobile, selling extra Pokémon as DLC, redoing the Pokémon into ''Film/{{PokemonDetectivePikachu}}'''s UncannyValley artstyle, and they want Masuda back. After heckling him on twitter and even making false rape allegations.

Possibly ''all'' pokemon came to Earth this way, but that's another WMG.

Which is why you see Rhydon statues all over the place in Gen-I games and their remakes. They were built to honor the signature pokemon of the very first champion, who more or less founded the Pokemon League.
