!Pokémon Horizons Ep 89 spoilers ahead!

Friede is alive, y’all aren’t just coping.

Okay okay, let me explain:

The way Friede’s potential death was framed from a story writing perspective was absolutely not the way the way that his death would have been handled if he had actually died. Just think about Liko’s reaction when Sprigatito was kidnapped, she was crying and we saw far more of her immediate emotional reaction to losing it than we did everyone’s reactions to losing Friede- someone who is supposedly DEAD. Not showing your characters’ emotional responses/mourning period when another character dies is just not how you write a character death, and the creators of Pokémon have been doing this long enough to know that. Not only that, but we know Pokémon is happy to make a death hurt as much as possible, but they didn’t do that with Friede.

Another important point: Friede fell with Charzard. Obviously, this means that Charzard could have saved him from becoming a human pancake. However, that’s not the only reason Charzard falling with him is important. If Charzard didn’t save Friede, him falling served no purpose story-wise. Friede has been shown to be a self-sacrificing character. If Friede was just going to die, the writers would have had him let go of Charzard, and, through the power of cartoon logic, without Friede’s weight, Charzard would’ve been able to pull himself back onto the ship. This would’ve made what Friede did far more impactful than just saving Pikachu. He’d be saving both of his Pokémon partners at the cost of his life- a perfect heartbreaking moment.

Finally, we need to refer back to the #1 rule of deaths in fictional media: if we didn’t see the death happen, the death didn’t happen. Now obviously Pokémon isn’t going to show a gorey death, but death and dead people have been portrayed in Pokémon before, and they could have easily found a way to do this with Friede. Everyone is alive until proven otherwise.

So yeah our boy is alive (but probably not doing well. I have my theories lol)

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]

A Vinnie Theory

————————————

Alright, so, by now we’re all aware of Vinnie and his iconic Pancham and Buneary hair ties. Well, after putting some thought into it, I’m convinced that they’re more than just a hint to Vinnie having a soft side despite his imposing appearance. Rather, I’m convinced that they are actually a hint to his team, as not only were Pancham and Pangoro introduced in Generation 6, but so was Mega Lopunny. I’m probably grasping at straws here, but I think it would be both a neat bit of characterization that shows how much Vinnie cherishes for his Pokémon, while also leaning into what was introduced in the initial foray into Kalos and Mega Evolution.

TLDR/I’m convinced Vinnie is a big enough fan of Pancham and Buneary that he uses them and their evolutions on his team.

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:

Deoxys Is Not A Mutant Minior

So recently I came across a hypothesis that claimed that Deoxys in a Minior that was mutated by the laser from the Ultimate Weapon. It uses the fact they are both associated with meteors as part of the evidence, and it's Omega Ruby dex entry. "The DNA of a space virus underwent a sudden mutation upon exposure to a laser beam and resulted in Deoxys. The crystalline organ on this Pokémon's chest appears to be its brain."

However, there is fundamental flaw with this hypothesis…. Deoxys exists in one of the timelines where the Ultimate Weapon was never fired. Meaning Deoxys couldn't have been created by the blast from the Ultimate Weapon, because it exists in a timeline where the weapon was never created.

Also, if Deoxys owed it's existence to the attack from the Ultimate Weapon, then the energy from it aka Mega Energy should given Deoxys a Mega Evolution.

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

[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.

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.

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.

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)
