[[WMG: Mew is Arceus's seventh child.]]
Mew's role as the ancestor of all Pokémon seems to contradict the creation story. According to legend, Arceus had six children. Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina to act as the foundation for reality, and Uxie, Mespirit, and Azelf to act as the foundation for life. After these six, Arceus created ''another'' egg, this one to ''be'' the life that would live in the foundation it created with its first six children. Mew was created with the express purpose of evolving, in the Darwinian sense, into all other Pokémon that would inhabit the world. Giratina getting un-personed already established that parts of the legend are prone to getting lost with time.

Anything That Moves is a disambiguation


They're both the same color (even when shiny), and both are 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.

[[WMG: Red's rematches against the Elite 4 and Blue are cannon.]]
After taking the title of champion from Blue almost immediately after he got it Red decides not to wait and defend his title. The cutscene where Red runs away from the Indigo league actually represents Red resigning his title. After this Red learns about Johto and the national Pokedex but still doesn't have access to Silver Mountain. When Red resigns Blue decides to become champion again, possibly because he thinks Red's victory was a fluke. Eventually Red decides to challenge the Elite 4 again possibly because the Elite 4 and Blue are the only challenge he has left. By this time the Elite 4 have learned from their mistakes and have made their pokemon more diverse in their types and/or in their movesets. So when Red beats them again it proves his victory wasn't a fluke. It's possible that Red keeps on beating the Elite 4 and resigning his title as champion up until pokemon gold/silver or their remakes. Though of course at some point Blue gives up and n This would help explain how Red is able to support himself while living as a hermit. It also gives some more explanation for the attitudes of Blue and Lance in gold/silver. Blue is still slightly bitter towards Red for repeatedly taking his title and then ultimately discarding it. However his constant defeats also cause him to reevaluate how he treats his pokemon. A similar change happens for Lance who stops being obsessed with strength and victory. In the end he's almost eager for the PC of heartgold/soulsilver to prove themselves by beating him.

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).

* That idea wouldn't be too farfetched. After all, the whole point of creating Mewtwo was to ''create the most powerful Pokemon''. It'd make sense that they'd take DNA from other Pokemon to include some more favourable traits to a weapon that they didn't believe Mew to have (such as the intelligence, understanding of the human psyche, willing to fight, and even maliciousness. And, as Alakazam is said to be the most smartest Pokemon, why wouldn't they decide to add in that intelligence to their nigh invincible weapon? In the Pokemon Special manga, Blane said he contributed his own DNA into the creation of Mewtwo, so it's very possible for other DNA from other beings to be put into the mix.

** Actually, the existence of a "second Brain", was only postulated to explain the existence of a large cavity that is now believed to have housed a glycogen body (basically a pocket of super-fat, although that's grossly oversimplifying it.)

Remember how Blue's Raticate was level 16, [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard even though it evolves at level 20?]] A mysterious stranger gave Blue a special kind of Rare Candy that made Pokemon evolve quicker. Little did Blue know, this stranger was from Team Rocket and the "Rare Candy" was really one of their ideas to induce evolution. They were handing them out to various trainers to test the results and hopefully recruit new members when the trainers saw how well it worked. Ever trainer who used it ended up having the Pokemon they used it on die, which forced Team Rocket's scientists to go to their next ideas.

The majority of where Gastly and Haunter can be located is at or near a haunted place(ex: Old Chateau), Graveyard(ex: Pokemon Tower) or something related to the dead/afterlife(Turnback Cave). That can't be a coincidence. Since humans can come back as at least two different ghost Pokemon(Yamask and Phantump line), there's no reason why a Pokemon can't change its species post-mortem. They're not depressed about it because they're used to changing biology(via evolution).

Brock ''did'' [[WalkingShirtlessScene dress similarly]] [[DoesNotLikeShoes to Bruno]] early on, and they do have similar hairstyles--but visibly that's about all they have in common. Perhaps Bruno mentored Brock before the latter became a Gym Leader, and Brock started out emulating him before deciding to carve out his own identity after taking on his own Gym.

[[WMG: Eevee is a more stable version of Ditto.]]
Eevee's entire theme is genetic instability, but unlike Ditto, Mew or Mewtwo this isn't brought up much outside of Pokedex entries, as it focuses the theme more on its evolutions. Wherever Ditto came from, they were only the second of their kind; the first was Eevee, a Pokemon who is more composed in a singular form but still capable of rewriting its genetic makeup on a major scale. Ditto came to be because this form of genetic instability wasn't enough, so whether by natural evolution or gene editing they ended up creating a version of Eevee that was so unstable, it could copy other Pokemon's genetic makeup.

[[WMG: Voltorb and Electrode are Poke Balls possessed by Ghastly/Haunter/Gengar]]
And that have become stuck because Poke Balls are designed to capture Pokemon, but because they possessed them they became "captured" in the Poke Ball, and cannot escape it. It's especially noticeable if you look at it this way: Look at Haunter, specifically it's eyes. Put them onto a Poke Ball. You now have a Voltorb. Electrode's habits of blowing themselves up for [[ItAmusedMe shits and giggles]] also seems to fit in with the Ghastly line and their habit of pranking everything. That or they explode because they're really fucking annoyed at their current situation.

** Koga used only poison types, but a few of his trainers use Psychic types. His Gym is [[UnbuiltTrope just as much about status effects]] as it is about Poison-''types''. Plus the Ghastly line ''does'' know Hypnosis...

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


It looks like its trying to seduce you, its moves are kissing-related (Attract, Lovely Kiss), and at the same time, [[UncannyValley it's rather creepy looking.]] This fits the description of a succubus, which has been said to be either [[HotAsHell very sexy]] or [[NightmareFuel terrifying]], as Jynx seems to fit between the two. This may also explain its Psychic typing: succubi and incubi invade people through dreams, so Jynx could use its psychic abilities to preform a literal MindScrew/MindRape. As for why they aren't [[FireAndBrimstoneHell fire types?]] Remember that, in Literature/TheDivineComedy, Satan [[FridgeBrilliance was located in a frozen glacier.]]

[[WMG: Lt. Surge is actually [[VideoGame/PokemonSwordandShield Galarian]].]]
Applies only to Generation VII and beyond. He only ''plays up'' the part of whatever the equivalent of a [[{{Eagleland}} tough patriotic American is]], but he was actually born in Galar. He also keeps this a secret, lest his reputation as a tough guy be marred by how polite his fellow Galarians are in comparison.

[[WMG: Koga and Janine are [[McNinja not Kantonian, Johtonian or from any of the Japan-based regions]] and are [[{{Fauxreigner}} faking their ninja heritage.]]]]
Both [[Anime/PokemonTheSeries the anime]] and ''[[VideoGame/PokemonMasters Masters]]'' gave Koga a thick, exaggerated Japanese accent that sounds very unlike what a real Japanese person would sound like speaking English. In the Japanese version of the games, Koga sounds similarly unnatural, but in the sense of being [[AntiquatedLinguistics deliberately old-fashioned]]. Janine, on the other hand, doesn't even ''try''; she just speaks like everyone else does. What points out to them being fakers is that, in ''[[VideoGame/PokemonLegendsArceus Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]'', [[spoiler:Beni]] implies that he's one of the last "true" ninjas alive - as in, one who goes beneath notice by posing as a commoner to carry out secret missions, neither of which Koga or Janine do. [[HighlyVisibleNinja No real ninja would go around saying "I'm a ninja"]]... unless you're Koga, and Janine who picked it up from him. Sure, Koga disguises himself as the Gym Guide in the ''[[VideoGame/PokemonLetsGoPikachuandLetsGoEevee Let's Go]]'' games, but that's different from staying off the radar by disguising himself as, say, a Fisherman or another common Trainer class. Considering that all other ninjas we have seen in the series are explicitly playing make-believe, it isn't really a stretch to think they might be in it too, and that the inconsistencies in their portrayal hint towards them [[McNinja being foreigners who moved to Kanto and started playing up ninja stereotypes for whatever reason]]. It's up to you to decide how genuine their appreciation of ninja techniques is, or what their intentions might be. The theory has some real-life basis too, in that [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_schools_of_ninjutsu#Controversy_and_opposition many modern schools of ninjutsu have had their claims to legitimacy disputed]] - with some going as far to declare that none of these schools are "true" ninjutsu schools. This would line up quite well with [[spoiler:Beni]]'s claim above, thus putting Koga and Janine's status as real ninja into question.
