POKÉMON: LOST SILVER

lore? theory? not sure what to call this tbh. a compilation of my thoughts on the story….

it’s.. going to be a lot to read. I know that before typing. I’m going to put it under a “read more” split in order to keep ridiculously long post away from people’s feeds.

With that said, buckle up guys, we’re headed to Johto’s Tin Tower.

This is, I think, a pretty good transcript of both the original story and the continuation posted (I believe) two years later. I’m going to assume both versions of the story are real and if it’s not canon then screw you I’m making this anyways.

If you’re not familiar with the story’s continuation whatsoever, I’m going to revisit parts of it anyways in my explanation but I’d advise you to read through it all the same.

If you have no idea what a Pokemon Lost Silver is, you might be a little lost yourself.

If you think this is about the creepy pokemon FNF mod, go learn the ancient scripts!!

Go read!!

Okay, now I can begin.

The update to the story gives us quite a bit of context we were missing with the original post:

-Our main character’s name is confirmed to be Gold.

-He and Celebi are trying to achieve something.

*Notably, something that will

“lead to breakthroughs in Pokémon research”

according to Professor Elm’s line within the game at Goldenrod city, and additionally, that goal is dangerous, as Gold’s mother tells him to be careful:

“If it’s what you must do, then I can’t stop you. Please be safe, GOLD.”

Gold and Celebi are then seen to climb the Tin Tower, prior to an alarming encounter with the resident at the top: Ho-oh.

Interestingly, the player isn’t allowed to switch out Celebi for Typhlosion during this battle, simply being told “No.” by the game itself, and upon further attempts:

“I can’t.”

As if we’re watching a predetermined outcome play out. Like it’s something that’s already happened.

Celebi is immediately oneshotted by Sacred Fire and the game denotes that Celebi was burned before the screen cuts to black and the player is returned to the beginning of the game. It plays the way the original story goes, with Gold acquiring Unown and returning to his ghostly appearance.

…with one exception.

His team.

Celebi’s name is “Away”.

The remaining five Unown spell out “Burnt”.

Considering the way the creature was missing half of its body in the ghostly world, this might be an indication of how it (and by extension, Gold) died.

They were incinerated.

So.. Pokémon Trainer Gold and the Time Travel Pokémon Celebi were killed by Ho-oh because of something they planned to do.

At least, considering the series of events, that’s what I’ve been led to believe.

But… why am I saying this?

ALRIGHT. Time for a break from story explanations. We’ve gotta go straight to Pokémon canon to cook up this theory.

Here are some fun facts about National Dex #250: Ho-oh.

It has visual resemblances to both a peacock and a phoenix.

It can raise the dead. (Canonically, it revives three Pokémon who died in a fire into Johto’s Legendary Beasts.)

It’s referred to as a guardian. (“Guardian of the Skies”)

And most interestingly, in the Generation II games, Ho-oh can learn the move “Nightmare” from TM50.

Ring any bells?

Okay, cool. So what did Gold do to piss off the firebird?

This is where I get into my interpretation of the events that unfolded.

As of the original story and the acclimation of badges throughout, we can make the assumption that Gold is a well accomplished guy before death.

We’re really not given much information about him, other than the author’s note that

“He was a young trainer who, despite his efforts in collecting so many badges and attempts at becoming a Pokemon master, was still unable to avoid the inevitable fate of death, and his efforts were eventually forgotten by the next generation.”

Again, the theme of death is prevalent, alongside memory/legacy.

What if he wanted to catch Ho-oh for its resurrective power? Perhaps to keep his Pokémon alive forever. Perhaps to hand it over to the Professor. (I personally imagine the latter given the emphasis on the GOOD things his endeavor will bring.)

Maybe this is why he needed the help of another mythical Pokémon. Maybe he thought he could utilize Celebi’s time travel if something went wrong.

But instead, the two were punished for their attempts to control the balance between life and death.

And so they wander a hellscape devoid of much other than old, fragmented memories from time while they were alive.

“frosmoth what about the loss of limbs specifically? why’d that happen?”

Conscious decision by Angry Fire Birdy. Removing access to the ability to utilize a Poké Ball and also removing the capacity to travel? Ouchie.

“frosmoth why smoky ghost limbs?”

Death by fire. Celebi’s missing half is also smoky. Maybe Celebi uses psychic power to hold them together. I dunno. They’re ghosts anyways.

“frosmoth, you’re stupid. You forgot the Unowns.”

No, I didn’t. I personally feel like they’re more of a way to communicate the story to the player rather than be of much lore importance within the universe of the game. Also, I’m not entirely sure what to do with them. maybe they’re spying on Gold in the hellscape idk.

“frosmoth what were Gold’s motivations for this idea of his?”

Well, we don’t have much concrete evidence for this, but if we wanted to play off of themes in the story……?

(personal interpretation incoming!!)

Now, I know it’s probably easy to imagine him as a little kid who has no clue what he’s doing because hey it’s a Pokémon spinoff and the main characters are usually like 11.

BUT STAY WITH ME HERE

The whole lingering theme about being remembered for something (or, well, being forgotten despite the effort)? to me, it just doesn’t read like the work of some prodigy kid.

The urgent tone of the various messages when the player attempts to leave or go off track during the segment in the Ilex forest conveys desperation. Notably:

“Not going back.”

“CELEBI is ready.”

“CELEBI wants to go now.”

“CELEBI wants to end this.”

Gold is determined and Celebi is as well, despite a possible apprehension regarding the task at hand.

They know what they’re getting into. Gold knows he’s trying to achieve the impossible.

But he has to do it anyways. Why? To be remembered, of course. Years of experience and accomplishment don’t mean much when you’re behind compared to the new generation, the up-and-coming geniuses who will surely be ten times better than you when they’re your age. What can you do to prove your worth?

^This is the kind of thinking that breeds impulsivity. You know, like doing something drastic to try and get attention.

I’ve always imagined Gold from Lost Silver to be a guy in university age range. Probably stemmed from the way the Professor’s line made me think of him being involved in Pokémon research the same way a student would go about research in their major. Anywho.

He works hard, and it pays off, but he doesn’t think so himself. He is a Sad Little Guy with huge self doubt problems. Somewhere along the line he gets the idea for his little… expedition while trying to think of a way he can prove himself. He recruits Celebi. The two partake in their trial by fire. Death Happens (TM) and Ho-oh says fuck you go to eternal timeout. Gold and Celebi sulk for eternity.

OK IM FINALLY DONE WRITING THIS RIDICULOUS THING. IF YOUVE MADE IT THIS FAR CONGRATULATIONS AND THANK YOU FOR COMING TO MY TED TALK ABOUT STUPID POKEMON HORROR!!!! sorry if my spin on it isn’t your cup of tea, it’s just an idea I’ve had for a few years.
