#Q! Theory

[mikaikaika]

Phil had a theory today that the code is a federation experiment gone wrong. He said that the code was originally supposed to be part of the eggs but the Federation screwed up while creating him which led him to being the code and the reason it majorly attacks eggs is because it is mourning the life that could have been and is envious of the others who succeeded. Same reason why it hates Federation or its allies because it holds them responsible for it's failed existence .

I kinda genuinely don't understand this fandom tendency of interpreting things a Certain Way and believing that all else is incorrect

You guys really need to get into some 500 year old theatre play, watch 50 different performances and understand that even the "set in stone 100% acknowledged by scholars" interpretations can be disputed

B: It's pretty nice.

P: Yeah, It helps me think cuz I don't get distracted with anything.

B: No, I feel ya. This remains me a lot of what I see inside of my head all the time.

P: Nothing?

B: Yeah, it's just empty.

I translated and analyzed the leaked Pokemon Theogony diagram!

Here's the non-spoiler version from the Sinjoh ruins Arceus event! The leaked spoiler version with specific and leaked names is below the cut!

Things to note:

1) Tex is Regigigas maybe because it sounds like "Tectonic" + "Rex"? Since it moves the continents? (Dumb joke about how the Regi family can be found below Clay's Driftveil City in B2W2)

2) Despite appearences, the notes say the pink circle is for the god of time, and the blue one is for the god of space- could be cool to see Dialga and Palkia with swapped colors! Also note that Giratina isn't in the original version, but has a circle for it awkwardly added in the final version.

3) Pseudos have their own section- weird that Latias, Latios, and Gyarados are Pseudos but Salamence isn't. They're all bunched up in a section called "Supporting Legendaries". The three gen 4 placeholders for "Dahabu", "Saan", and "Gordon" could be for Garchomp and two other lesser legendaries like Cresselia and Darkrai or something. Or since they omitted Salamence, they could also not include Garchomp and the circle could be for something like Heatran instead.

4) Note that "Supporting Legendaries" are different from the birds, beasts, and regis, which are called "Servant Legendaries".

5) Also "Smilay" (Smile>Gratitude>Shaymin) and "Birthly" (Egg/Phione>Manaphy) are my speculations on the mythicals, but no confirmation, obviously.

6) Also there's a decent chance most of this is now moot since this diagram is from 2005 and we've had over 5 generations since then.

A Tribe Called Quest released their second album The Low End Theory September 24, 1991

[dnalt-d2]

So we all know Pomme and Richas disappeared before the testing started, and I remember seeing someone say that they went to Purgatory for the rescue without Phil

But I raise you one better

They went to GET Phil

They are currently dragging his unconscious ass to a boat and leaving as we speak

He's gonna wake up and it'll basically be like

It would be SO fuckin funny

[herrmit]

most ridiculous takes i've seen thus far have been the "ohhhh mark doesn't deserrrveee gemma so its actually a good thing that he walked away" type shit. 😐 its like. hey you care about this character? you care about her agency in the narrative? you care about her happiness? then maybe its time to fucking listen to her when she says she wants her husband back!!!!!! she wants her dead wife!!!!! some of y'all acting like gemma is a plot device that mark does or does not get to have when she is a fully fleshed-out character in her own right! a character who has routinely expressed a desire to a) get out of hell, b) take back the life she was ripped away from, and c) be with her husband!! desires she just so happens to share with outie mark! and its messy of course it's messy this show is messy and thats the point. but some people are all-too-eager to ignore the established character she is in favour of what they wish she was. take the loose thread of "mark dead wife" that doesn't fit into the desired narrative and tie it all off into a neat bow....... absurd.

Dash active look at my Brainrot actually

Explanation of how I got here! ✨ So in deltarune the person who talks to us in the beginning in the game might be two people

This is because the Japanese translation in the game the person who speaks to us is using the two alphabets of Kanji and Katakana

Which is really weird!!! katakana is only used for loan words so writing like this is really strange

The only other person who speaks like this is in Undertale is W.D Gaster (and queen but that's emphasis that she's a robot... Unless. 😳)

Then suddenly when the vessel gets yeeted the text turns back into Kanji and Hiragana, and refers to you as the player as Omae (which is kind of a distant way to say you)

The only other person in the Undertale who speaks like this is Chara (dun dun dunn) since the rest of Undertale avoids Kanji Chara stands out as using it extremely frequently and uses Omae for the player

Which is why people believe there is two people in the intro and the second person is Chara

HOWEVER I HAVE OPEN MY EYES TO A BIGGER POSSIBILITY .

ITS NOT CHARA!

The reason I don't believe it's Chara simply cause Chara is like.. dead

Lmao ik they can probably access supernatural dead powers and is technically the one you actually play in Undertale, but it seems strange for Undertale to be a game about keeping goodness in your heart and the power of friendship just for the other game to prioritize the geno route like that

but Yk who does have extremely similar quirks to Chara and would make the most sense to talk like them? Kris dreemurr

I think it would be a crazy crazy parallel of the games where in Undertale you get to name the fallen child, in Deltarune your protagonist names you

And frankly I think it just be cool if our protags first dialogue is telling the player that theyre not playing as the vessel but as them

[ghostatrandom]

I am not inmune to silly minecraft roleplay I am so sorry for the person I am about to become-

Sooo q!Jaiden is my favorite character ( q!cellbit is a close second-) and that theory about Jaiden being a federation experiment made my brain go "oh yeah I need to draw this there's no other way" so uh yeah, hello qsmp fandom take this humble headcanon of mine

Guys do you think the QSMP is pulling a Truman Show and we are all part of the official audience narrative

Like simulation theory is still my best bet because Cucurucho had no reason to tell the truth to Cellbit. It could have easily lied to him and we wouldn't have known the difference. So taking that, the trailers, and the update account all into consideration it can be theorised that this is all a social experiment except instead of being a simulation it is being conducted infront of a live performance.

Wait, I just realized something! Someone may already have talked about this. But what if !Bad, every time he dies, he eats his own body because it is the only way that he can get back his memories. When Chip's pig died, tr!Bad ate it and said he transferred the dead pig's mind to the new pig.

He can get his memories back this way, but I wonder if he can see or feel the memories of the living things he eats.

(This is why he says he would eat Foolish or his friends if they die? Because he wants to see/feel the mind of his friends?)

Thoughts and Theories on Pokemon Legends Z-A

With Pokemon Legends Z-A being very different from Legends Arceus, I wanted to figure out what all the differences we know so far are, and what similarities there were to connect the two as "Legends" games.

So here are all the big similarities and differences with a pinch of speculation and a dash of slight TeraLeak info!

Differences between PLA and PLZA:

Pokemon may no longer be able to kill you.

It’s a modern world- you can actually fight trainers, and many different kinds! With this extra source of Exp and gameplay, will there be less focus on mass catching and research tasks?

To build on this, the “boss fights” will likely no longer be noble Pokemon, or not even singular Pokemon at all. Instead, they will likely take the form of trainer battles. Not Gym Leaders, as that would undermine Clemont’s job. Instead, they may be major city figures who use Megas, whom you must recruit to give you access in developing the rest of the city.

Less focus on crafting, maybe more focus on money and business-building? Dex completion will likely still contribute to earning funds in some way, though.

The cast can’t be ancestors anymore- instead we get timeskip designs to show off. Most likely the residents of Lumiose. Clemont, Bonnie, Emma. Maybe other Kalos residents like Xerosic, Sycamore, Sina, and Dexio. Hopefully even Calem and Serena!

Maybe the Fallers subplot will continue, maybe not. Maybe depressed Emmet will be here.

While regional variants may still be around, there will likely be less focus on them thanks to the return of Megas.

To help us estimate how many new Megas there may be, there were 28 Megas in XY. 18 Megas in ORAS. 18 Alolan Forms. 20 Galarian Forms. 16 Hisuian Forms. 4 Paldean Forms. 22 Paradoxes (Counting Koraidon & Miraidon)

With less focus on the wilderness, Ride Pokemon may have a reduced role (Cabs and Gogoat could return) and parkour combined with Rotom Phone upgrades will likely further replace Ride Pokemon.

With Megas returning, this could mean the potential return of abilities and held items. This is not a guarantee, though. Megas have appeared in many other games that lacked either abilities or held Mega Stones, including Let’s Go, Pokemon Go, Mystery Dungeon DX, Shuffle, Smash Bros, MastersEX, and more.

Most notably, you are bound to one city instead of a whole region.

The urban environment means we could get complex new indoor areas for the first time since USUM in 2017 (If you don’t count Let’s Go and BDSP as remakes)

So, what IS a Legends game?

Similarities between PLA and PLZA:

You return to an older Pokemon region at a different point in time compared to the original games (Past/Future). As opposed to remakes, which re-tell the events of the original games.

The starters are a mixed assortment of previous starters (likely) with new forms for their final stages.

You are not taking the Pokemon League challenge in any way. Instead, you are building up a civilisation (Jubilife Village/Lumiose City)

Heavy theming on the balance between humanity and nature. PLA is about urbanizing and colonizing a wilderness, and PLZA is about re-introducing nature to a developed city.

“Drive by” catching is a thing, where you can throw Pokeballs at Pokemon without engaging in a battle screen to fight them.

The battles themselves diverge from the typical turn-based format of the mainline games.

While you are not able to explore the whole region (Floaroma, Eterna, Canalave, and its islands aren’t in PLA), what you can explore is divided into five different roamable areas, unlocked as you progress through the story.

A marketable appeal in seeing a region and its characters in a different time (Ancestors in PLA and timeskip designs in PLZA)

A marketable appeal in introducing new forms for existing Pokemon and (likely) even a small handful of new Pokemon!

Sidequests given to you by townsfolk help flesh out the world and its people.

No version exclusives, and story focus on a Trio master legendary/mythical which didn’t have its own game before.
