The only Pokemon whose names ''matter'' are the ones the player inputs themselves: The Hero, his/her Partner, and everyone they recruit. Everyone else ''has'' names; the game simply doesn't use them because ''this'' story is ultimately all about the hero and their friends. Wigglytuff's name isn't mentioned because the Guild's called "The Wigglytuff Guild", and [[ViewersAreMorons revealing his real name would just confuse the target audience]], [[SarcasmMode wouldn't it]]? Same goes for Chatot, Bidoof, Sunflora and the rest: it's easier to just address them by ''what'' they are and [[TheLawOfConservationOfDetail conserve details]] rather than juggle extra names. Plus, this lets any fans who ''really'' care about such details to invent their own, putting that much more of a personal spin on ''their'' version of the story.

[[WMG: It's unlikely Dark Matter is really, truly dead.]]
* You can't kill the embodiment of evil that easily, after all. It's quite possible the consciousness and mind of the current version of the incarnation of the darkness of sentient beings was obliterated by the Partner's acceptance of it, but the essence of the entity is likely to re-manifest whenever the evil residing in Pokemon's hearts and souls surges again. Building on above WMGs suggesting the Bittercold and Dark Matter are possibly different incarnations of the same being, whenever it returns it may look, act and think differently but it's still the same thing returned from the Void. It would take either purging all sentient life of darkness and malevolence (which would be bad news for the concept of [[TheEvilsOfFreeWill free will]]) or convincing ALL sentient beings to accept the existence of evil, at least in the Mystery Dungeon universe(s) if not the whole Pokemon multiverse, to finally get rid of it for good. It's ''hard'' to subvert AsLongAsThereIsEvil, sadly.

[[WMG: The Bittercold and Dark Matter are the same/similar beings.]]
*Both of them are said to be made of the negative emotions in Pokémon's hearts, but there are a number of differences, such as appearance, and abilities. Here's this troper's theory on the differences; The Bittercold came about because Kyurem tried to accelerate Dark Matter's forming process in an attempt to get the wait over with. The end result is that Dark Matter was "stillborn", left half-formed, and so it wasn't sentient. Despite this, it still had it's mind control powers, but it used them purely on instinct, to disable anything it saw as a threat; hence the Winds of Despair. If we take a look at the cores of the [[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Bittercold_Core_PMDGTI.png Bittercold]] and [[http://www.serebii.net/supermysterydungeon/00404.png Dark Matter]] You can see that they look almost exactly the same. So, the Bittercold is what you get when you try to wake Dark Matter up early.

This builds on a few of the other WMG's here, but I'll make this it's own. The events of the first and second games are loosely connected together. The Gardevoir you rescue in Red/Blue is the Gardevoir in Team Charm of Explorers, and along the way to this she also teamed up with Team ACT' Medicham, who disbanded the team after Gengar had stopped working together with them. The Wigglytuff in Red/Blue is Explorers Wigglytuff's mother. Grovyle is the player after time had stopped, (This one is debatable as you'd need to be Treecko in Red/Blue) and bands up with the Player of Explorers before he turns into a Pokémon. The reason he does so is not only to reverse time, but to also rescue his Red/Blue partner after he was trapped in time. There's also the WMG about the Western/Eastern cave. Discuss the connections you find.

Added DiffLines:

[[WMG:Humans are from parallel universes]]
In the pmdverse, humans do not evolve naturally (in the Darwinian sense). However, the pmdverse exists alongside universes in which they do eg. the main series [[spoilers:in both iterations]]. The unstable spacetime that allows for the existence of mystery dungeons allows humans and their works to cross over from their native universe to pmdverse, though this is very rare, enough for humans to be regarded as mythical among the residents of the pmdverse. While they can be summoned directly, the summoner would have to know humans exist, making it likely that the first humans in the pmdverse arrived on accident.

Translation for those of you who don't get it: some of the Mons you fight within the game are actually Shadow Pokemon corrupted by someone (or some''thing'') somewhere for whatever reason. These are the ones that show no remorse and will mercilessly slaughter or otherwise harm anything and anyone who gets in their way (whatever "their way" even means) i.e. a non-Shadow acting the same way would be an instant CM.
