Calaba is Gordie’s Ancestor, that's all.

[ID: Calaba from Pokemon legends arceus, she has white hair that becomes a very dark color towards the end. Gordie has white hair that becomes yellow at the end and greatly resembles Calaba’s hair when its down]

OK! I'm back and I have a theory!

Now I just finished the main story for The Teal Mask and HOLY SHIT!

While Kieran slowly spirals in his obsession with Ogrepon as I keep beating him (I honestly still feel bad about that, I hated that Carmine made us lie to him), then Carmine growing steadily with our battles and being empathetic.

I loved the story, but that "To Be Continued..." with Kieran saying he'll be back was surprising. It made me think of some things though.

Now, let's get to the theory part: I think the Loyal, or in the words of Carmine, Lousy Three had some sort of influence or at least connection when it came to Kieran.

The first detail I realized is whenever Kieran lost his temper after I beat him: There were these pulses on the scene to add the pressure of the moment, the lines on the speech bubbles were sharp.

And what happens when we go to battle the Titan Versions of the "Lousy" Three? They have those same pulses.

When we beat him RIGHT IN FRONT of the altar, he lashed out in anger about the Ogerpon meeting we kept secret (That was well justified) and he punched the wall. That anger led to Munkidori, Fezandipiti, and Okidogi to be released.

There's also the fact that Kieran's bangs look a little like the Lousy Three's chains, especially the shadow of it. I don't know if that's plain coincidence, or on purpose.

It makes sense in my head, but I don't know how to go into more detail.

Does anybody else have thoughts?

You know I have a theory why venonat evolves into venomoth

Ok so venonat besides being based on fleas, mites etc may be based on woolly bears (larval tiger moths). Many are fluffy and also poisonous, they have stinging hairs and some will curl up into a ball when threatened thus explaining venonat’s shape and fur.

Venonat is designed after a rolled up caterpillar

Zygarde the Cryptid

Calling it right now Zygarde is going to be a cryptid in Legends ZA that potentially partakes in some domestic terrorism as they struggle to build Lumios City into a metropolis of the future. Zygarde will not like all this construction of an enormous city in the middle of the region and will mess with its construction. Torn down buildings here, broken machinery there, maybe a collapsed mine or two. All the while people talk about a horde of weird Green Dogs that move faster than anyone has seen breaking things or attacking people, or maybe a giant serpent that scares people off. No one has managed to get a good look at it but it starts causing mistrust of Pokémon within the city and works up both people and Pokémon.

This whole time… it was an ancient Scorupi evolution:

[freelance-pokemon-ecologist]

Paldea’s Area Zero can be abbreviated “AZ”

The only other Pokémon that can be caught in the Underdepths that isn’t from Generation 9 (Gimmora line and Terapagos) is Carbink

The Legends game set in Kalos is called “Z-A”

Ok random pokemon theory that’s more just weird details so you know Wally

This guy ^ I was earlier comparing him with his family

Photos for reference and I’m now quite sure he’s adopted so let’s go over the proof

First off we can look at Wally’s ancestor from legends Arceus

So from this we see the green hair that turns grey with age and the hair style which this weirdly doesn’t fit his parents who both have brown hair and then also doesn’t fit his uncle who goes bald with age instead of grey which is quite confusing also I hear you saying “oh it’s just they didn’t want to fully design the characters” but then why not just

Use the model for a ace trainer for the mom or dad but change the jacket or leave it the same? Given then they have the green hair? Like I’m not saying it’s intentional but it’s just something to think of especially because Wally looks wayyy to similar to N for some weird reason

Literally look at them side by side the hair is about the same but N’s is a little lighter which hair can lighten with exposure to the sun which i think N would have more sun exposure, eyes are the same color, N’s hair looks like it would go upwards if it wasn’t under a cap a lot, they both wear necklaces, and both tend towards lighter main colors there is definitely parallels that can be made at least definitely more then the traits Wally shares with his actual family Im going to now just leave you to make your own decision on this theory I hope everyone has a nice day

My Crackpot Theory for The Indigo Disk:

What if Heath ends up getting temporally displaced because the crystals in Area Zero grant wishes/make dreams reality? My line of thought is that Briar and Heath’s shared dream of uncovering the secrets of Area Zero, coupled with Briar’s stated desire to prove Heath wasn’t a liar who forged the discoveries he made in the Great Crater, reacted strongly enough with the crystals within Area Zero so as to transcend time. This would result in a stable time-loop wherein Heath is brought to the present to witness the events of the final battle with Terapagos, leading to him publishing his findings, which would eventually set off the series of events that kickoff Scarlet/Violet and the DLC. This could also be used to explain why Heath doesn’t remember writing what he saw: it ALWAYS & PARADOXICALLY existed within the time loop, sort of like the “Peach Paradox” sequence from Milo Murphy’s Law.

[gostriley]

I am probably not the first person to think of this, but assuming that PLZ-A takes place in the future (as many have guessed) and that the Ultimate Weapon can still grant eternal life (or that Pokémon X is the canonical route)…

Do you think we might see Lysandre again?

ARCEUS' RING REPRESENTS THE BIBLICALLY ACCURATE ANGELS!!!

I was talking to a friend about gaming Easter eggs, and I said that Arceus is literally God. That's when I noticed that the ring around Arceus could represent the BAAs. (Biblically Accurate Angels)

Why'd I think of this bizarre idea? Well, if ya'll pay attention to the anatomy of Arceus, the scarla of his eyes are green, and the jewels on his ring are also green. Possibly representing his eyes, which change color whenever his typing is changed. His ring will also change color as was.

And here comes the kicker...what other heavenly beings that have multiple eyes? The answer is the Ophanim or the thrones of God. WHICH IS WHAT ARCEUS IS IN THE POKÉMON WORLD!!!

IDK if that was intentionally done, but I caught onto it!! GameFreak can't hide anything from us fans. I figured it out.

[terephin]

Some Pokémon headcanons I'm currently considering.

Note, most of these have one or more elements distinctly refuted in official content.

Fighting is the type with the purest connection to Aura

Aura is the core of Life. A requirement for existance.

Aura is of the Physical. It cannot truly exist without an Anchor.

Arceus does not possess Aura.

Arceus cannot be defined as living, for Arceus came before Life.

If Arceus could be called a Pokémon, Arceus would be the First.

Palkia, Dialga and Giratina are Pokémon, they were together the Third.

Life came to be during the genesis of the Second.

If the Unown are Pokémon, they were all the Second.

If the Unown could be called Pokémon, the would all be the Second.

The Unown are Uncountable. The Unown are Finite.

The Unown are the Arms of Arceus.

The Unown are the core of Aura.

The Unown exist on a conceptual basis.

The Unown can only ever be percieved from one direction.

The Unown are the revelation.

The Unown are the Core.

The Unown are the Core.

The Unown are the Core.

The Unown are the Core.

Coincidentally, this is a good representation of what happens if a Lucario (Or another particularily Aura aware Pokémon) looks at an Unown too long.

_______

Anyway, a theory that's a lot less utterly non-canon (Still is though lol):

The Arceus we see is merely one of Arceus 1000 Arms. And I mean that in a more physical sense than usual. Look at a picture of Arceus, now remove the head and tilt down the tail and you've got a hand, distinctly nonhuman, but it's a hand none the less. Why? Because Wynaut.

So I have a theory about Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

Spoilers for Scarlet and Violet as when you complete the main story, you fight off the Pokémon professor. They are replaced by an ai built by the professors and they were stuck in their respective times, Sara being stuck in the past and Turo being stuck in the future.

Well I have a theory on why they were stuck in either the past or the future. It’s because they’re respective times killed them off.

My reasoning? The times they’re sent back to correspond to how they died

For professor Sada in the Scarlet games, she gets stuck in the past. Now paradox Pokémon in the scarlet games are ancient creatures from long ago. For that, you can assume that they are mostly dinosaurs or something. And for people that’ve seen Jurassic Park know what happens when dinosaurs mix with humans. That’s right. Professor Sada was eaten by one of the paradox Pokémon.

For professor Turo, on the other hand, died differently. You see, professor Turo got stuck in the future. And since nobody knows what the future holds, his death could be up to interpretation. In my opinion and guess, I say that Turo became a paradox pokemon by force. That’s right, Turo got springlocked and died from his injuries.

I also have a theory on who murdered our professors. It’s the alpha mirai/korai don that the player defeats with their legendary Pokémon. My reasoning is may be sorta fruitless but if you think about it, it’s plausible that those claws of theirs have blood on their hands.

tl:dr The professors got Jurassic parked or Springlocked in their respective times they got trapped in (in theory)

So I’m still riding off the hype of the S/V DLC and a lot of it seemed to be be based off folktales which is something I really like and I need to info dump my theories so my thoughts are now going into the endless sea known as the internet

I’ll probably split it up into two posts one for each DLC

So first is part one The Teal Mask (most of theories for this one come from my brother and some of them are mine)

Very epic awesome promo art with characters that show up in part two of the DLC’s promo art

Anyway theory time

Most likely Kitakami is based off Chūgoko which is a prefecture in Japan, it’s a bit away from other places and seems to have mountains nearby and Kitakami was described as being at the base of a mountain

The town however is probably going to be based off a city called Okayama which is a city associated with the legend of Momotaro which the legend of Momotaro seems to actually be very important to the plot and the new Pokémon

In the story a peach was found by an elderly couple and inside was a baby boy which they named Momotaro Momo meaning peach and Taro meaning eldest son, when he grew up though he ended up leaving his family to fight a band of oni where he befriended a talking dog, monkey and pheasant which seem VERY similar to the new Pokémon revealed each based off a dog, monkey and pheasant

(Okidogi, Munkidori and Fezandipiti)

But that probably means that the new Pokémon Ogerpon

This guy, is Momotaro right? But i don’t think so

In the sign Okidogi, Munkidori and Fezandipiti seem to be chasing it off which means it’s probably based off one of the Oni that they fought with Momotaro which means there might be a Pokémon that takes Momotaro’s place, or YOU the trainer are taking his place and helping rid the island of the Oni Pokémon that are causing problems for the islanders or maybe undiscovering the old story of them and that’s all I have for this DLC part but I do have some theories for the second part as well

I am VERY excited for this DLC and I am definitely looking forward to it

[i-barely-tumble-her]

“Pokémon XY Legendaries are based on Yggdrasil” I’m calling it now folks we are getting a squirrel legendary in LZA and it’s gonna be named like Arborrel or some shit

[mr-kench]

I’m not sure if anyone has mentioned it or not but I’ve had a theory on Ghetsis that I’ve been sitting on for a while. It’s that the man is a cripple and an amputee. In nearly every representation of the man and especially in the games he can only make expressions from one half of his face and it’s the side that doesn’t have what’s essentially a fancy eyepatch. On that same side as his covered eye we never see him raise that arm and he has a really big cloak making me wonder if he even has an arm on that side. Japan has some cultural issues with missing limbs and it’s so much of a bigger deal over there than in most western countries. So it would make sense if they had the cloak to basically suggest without showing.

To further support my claims this man is an arm short with a missing eye and a half frozen face he’s notable for his ace having its strongest move be frustration which is a move that gains more power the more it hates its trainer. It’s also notable for being a very violent and dangerous Pokémon. My suggestion to you is that his ace Pokémon turned on him if only briefly and attacked him. Nearly killing him but not securing the kill.

He probably even used his crippled body to gain sympathy and win over N. Using the story of him getting this injury because of the rage of an abused Pokémon.

One part of Pokémon lore that’s always fascinated me is how Ghost Pokémon actually work…if you didn’t know Ghost Pokémon and “real ghosts” are two different things, but many Ghost Pokémon are born from the dead, making them into “real ghosts”. It seems Ghost types are called “ghosts” because of their “ghostly abilities” instead of their origin. Many Ghost Pokémon are even attracted to “real ghosts”…why I’m not quite sure.

One thing I’ve been thinking about for years is what happens when a Ghost Pokémon dies. Do they die like other Pokémon and have to be laid to rest, or are they “reborn” now gaining new ghostly abilities they lacked while alive? Given some stuff in the anime, it seems like “real ghosts” possess abilities their “Alive” counterparts don’t. Could a Ghost Pokémon be trapped between life and death, if it takes too much damage? My head spins just thinking about it…
