Pokémon just celebrated its 20th anniversary of the Western launch. If you can't do the math, Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue released for the Game Boy on September 28, 1998. It began a revolution and is an integral part of my childhood in more ways than one. So I tried to come up with a good idea fo🦂r a celebratory article. Should I rank the games, list some facts, or showcase some fan art? I've done all those to an extent before so I instead turned to another big fan-supported community in the Pokémon universe: game theories. Specificallღy, I wanted to focus on these two games.

In my research I came across a bunch I already knew, some I didn't, and then I even created some of my own. It turns out that creating a theory based on the Pokémon universe is pretty easy. Why? Because these games don't make sense, which is another 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:topic I covered in an earlier article. A sound theory may be plausible, but they 🉐can also be debunked because the rule set Nintendo and Game Freak established is just bonkers. They built a solid foundation, but one on a cliff that could give way at any moment. That said it doesn't bother me, because I love this franchise for better, or worse. I just thought that I should state that clarification before we begin. Hopefully, that will deter anyone from popping up in comments with an "um, actually" remark. Good? Good. Let's get to the theories!

25 Charizard Is Cubone’s Mother

There's a popular theory that suggests Cubone’s mother is Kangaskhan. Theorisꦕts point to the baby Kangaskhan carries in its pouch. The anatomy is also pretty close. Here's an alternative theory. I found one that saysꦛ Charizard is actually the mother of a Cubone. Why? Look at the horns on the skull. It matches that of a Charizard more closely, yes? So then what is a Cubone? What about a Charmander that wears its mother's skull? In sadness the flame on its tail extinguishes and it evolves into a ground-type Pokémon aka Cubone.

24 The Great Snorlax And Farfetch’d Extinction

In Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue there is one Snorlax and one Farfetch’d. Let's start with the bird. It's said to be quite tasty. That's why it became extincꩵt because humans couldn't get enough. What if that wasn't true? What if the meat is so tasty it caused Snorlax to turn on each other until there was only one left. Filled with the meat of both kin and Farfetch’d, it fell asleep, blocking your path. Now is that dark♏, or what?

23 Shellder Is An Evolutionary Gold Mine

Okay, so we all know Shellder helps Slow🐭poke evolve into a Slowbro by biting its tail right? That's canonical. What isn't are these next two.

What other secrets does Shellder hide?

I don't think Cloyster is a natural evolution. My theory is that whe🎃n a Shellder is combined with Ghastly, it becomes a Cloyster. On that same level if a Shellder makes it onto land, I think the dry air will help it evolve into a Machop. A Shellder is a clam and has muscles inside and a Machop is just a big muscle. Sound reasonable?

22 Mr. Mime And Jinx Are Mutated Humans

Jinx and Mr. Mime feel out of place, right? There's a bunch of theories that think the Pokémon universe is just our own and is an effect of nuclear fallout. That is to say, Pokémon were mutated from other animals due to radiation. This is a secondary theory to that, but not on a global level. For example, Porygon and Mewtwo were created in a lab. That's🐓 a fact. So then is it so weird to imagine a human trying to splice himself with Pokémon DNA?

21 Fearow Can Become A Legendary Bird

Spearow and Fearow are pretty lame Pokémon. They were exclusive to Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue got Pidgey and his two evolutions, which are just cooler. So ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚwhat's the deal? Maybe they're not so lame after all. Let's look at the design of Fearow, Zapdos, and Moltres. Look at their beaks. See the connection? I think Fearow can evolve based on elemental exposure. What's an Articuno? A chilled Spearow of course. I know it's a stretch to base this theory on beaks, but isn't it fun to think about?

20 Magmar Is A Psyduck Evolution

It's not very apparent in Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue as it is in the anime, but the Pokédex indicates that Psyduck gets massive headaches. Even though it's a water Pokémon, these headaches🔴 help give Psyduck psychic abilities. When it evolves into Golduck the headaches disappear. Why?

Well, what if Psyduck has 🍬an Id that's trying to break out? It heats up the brain and causes mental duress. When it evolves, a sort of psychic wave shoots out, transporting Magmar from brain to land. Hey, how else do you explain the duckbill on Magmar?

19 Your Backpack Is A Pokéball

Gamers often wonder what Pokémon do inside their Pokéballs. Is it like a refreshing spa in a vort♐ex, or is it devoid of all existence? I'm not going to answer that now. What I will get into is the technology. Is it just for Pokéballs? I think not. Here's another question to answer that. How does your backpack work? How can you fit all that stuff like a bike in there? Simple. 🔯It's a Pokéball; or rather it uses the same subspace technology.

18 TMs Are Instructional Videos

Have you ever wonder why TMs look like discs in the Pokémon games? They stand for Technical Machines, which doesn't help it narrow down any. What am I doing to my Pokémon, shoving these discs into their bodies? I don't think that's go🍒od for them. Here's a widespread theory that is painfully obvious now. Those discs are actually DVDs and so they are instructional videos. That makes a lot more sense. Where's the TV and DVD player? Maybe they're holograms. That's my contr🍸ibution to this theory.

17 Bulbasaur’s Missing Evolution

Does Bulbasaur's evolutionary chain seem off to you? That is to say, do his flowers look familiar? Well, ꧃there's a theory for that.

The story goes that the bulb on Bulbasaur's back is from an Oddish that has fused with it. The same goes for his next two evolutions and Oddish's. That is plausible, but what does a Bulbasaur look like before it gets an Oddish? Are we missing a link? I think𒉰 so. What does it look like? That I don’t know.

16 The Game Corner Makes The World Go Round

Why do you win money in battles? Simple. Yo✅u’re gambling. They just don’t show it because it’s a kid’s game and that would make parents go crazy. My theory is that behind the scenes you and your♔ rival battler make a deal. I bet this much I win, and so forth. I mean these games have casinos in them for crying out loud. I bet it was a mechanic Game Freak planned on before Nintendo told them to keep it behind the scenes. How did they keep in casinos then? I’m not sure.
