The Pokédex - Extended Fanon Edition

I'm already doing Darkrai. It should be on the dibs page.

Oops, sorry. Never mind.

Soft Sand actually DOES work though.

Soft Sand actually DOES work though.

It boosts the power of Ground attacks, not the power of the sandstorm, which is what I was trying to get at.

'Power of the sand' hahaha. When I finally have the time to do Black City, I'll be sure to explain in thorough detail why exactly does Unova not seem to have laws against fraudulent advertising.

How are we going to handle Black City/White Forest, what with them being in the exact same spot? Which one is the 'canon' location?

Gray Suburb (or something like that ), which includes features from both?

Broad Strokes. I think we can apply creative liberties here.

Maybe White Forest was cut down and Black City was built in its place, meaning that White takes place before Black?

But then there's the whole Iris vs. Drayden thing, which would mean that White takes place after Black.

Alternate universes, then, one where the area was urbanized and the other where it wasn't?

But how does that coincide with the PEFE Universe?

I got it- White Forest is actually on the outskirts of Black City. It's just that depending on the game, you bypass one in favor of the other.

The alternate universe thing is canon in the games. An NPC confirms it.

My whole interpretation on Black City & White Forest is based on the theory that the Black and White version differences are the result of a split time-line/alternate universe.

As you know, a long time before the events of the games, the two kings of Unova went to war with each other, both aided by one of the Legendary Dragon Pokémon. The split in the time-line lies in which one of these kings won this war, and thus went down in legend as the hero with a Dragon Pokémon.

So, the events of Pokémon Black are the result of the King with Zekrom winning the war. Under his rule, the Unova Region embraced technology, thus resulting in Black City being built where White Forest would be.

Conversely, the events of Pokémon White are the opposite. In this version of the time-line, the king with Reshiram won the war instead, and under his rule, the Unovan people we're taught to respect nature, which is why White Forest is left untouched as national parkland.

The other version differences (Iris/Drayden, version exclusive Pokémon) are the result of the split timeline having many other smaller effects.

Does this all make sense?

That does make sense, and it's good Headcanon, but the problem is that the PEFE Project can only be in one universe at a time, otherwise smaller discrepencies can happen with the pokemon and how often they interact. For example, a gang of Scrafty that lost a war would stumble into the White Forest, and interact with Ralts, Budew et al in the 'White' continuity, while the Gang would go to Black City and cause mayhem by breaking things and starting riots in 'Black'.

Clearly the only solution here is to make 2 versions of this project, one covering Black City, and the other covering White Forest.

So we're just gonna ignore BC and WF?

Let's wait until the third version before we tackle that.

Maybe that's for the best.

And I know it doesn't even exist yet, but my theory for the third version is that a third party with Kyurem gets involved in the war and thoroughly kicks everyone's butts. Resulting in an Unova that's a mixture of Black and White's one.

Who knows? But for now, I'm just going to leave BC/WF out my articles.

Same here.

Me too.

Never had any intention of using those locations, anyway.
