This is a pretty cool theory actually. Gen 4 is my personal favorite gen, mostly because of the lore and how everything started there. Plus it came right after one of my favorite Gen 3 games, Emerald.
Since Eternatus came out of an egg and Arceus came out of an egg, what if there’s a connection between them? Arceus as a force for creation and Eternatus as a force for destruction?
Unless Yveltal is created by Eternatus, it makes no sense that Yveltal is called the Destruction Pokemon if Eternatus is already a thing. If Yveltal is created by Eternatus, Xerneas is created by Arceus to combat Yveltals destruction force, since its the Life Pokemon. But here's the thing: If Eternatus is the Destruction Pokemon, where does it need Yveltal for.
Oh, c'mon, just stop. Don't make Galar out to be more important than it is. I have enough of it. And enough of Alola. A new Region OR Sinnoh Remake, that's the way to go. Either way, with much more Focus on the existing Pokemon, not more and more new Stuff. And the way for that is mostly Regional Forms and Alternate Evolution Lines.
@@liekkianimaatio3652 The Kanto birds also not from Galar, and cannot be obtained til the DLC, then they will be native because you can probably catch them.
@@smb-c3po i dont know alot of new pokemon from the last couple games, so sometimes ill be like, "thats a pokemon?" and i dont necessarily care to learn new ones but at the same time im not opposed to addition of new pokemon at all but from a gameplay perspective i see how that could be an issue.
That's a interesting idea. Especially with the legendary birds are on the Isle of Armour much like in Pokémon 2000 when the legendary birds lived on a different island🤔
Besides Legendary and Mythical Pokémon, there's also the fact that Regional Variants are older than their Counterparts- Galarian Corsola are long dead Johtovian Corsola, a cold ice age wiped them out. (Regice?) Galarian Darmanitan have lived in Galar since before Unova was discovered- and their Dormant Organs prove this. An ancient tremor set the ice age in motion that frosted the Tundra. (Regice) Etc., etc. (G Zigzagoon is the original, A Exeggutor is the original, etc.!) And while the Crown Tundra 'tree' looks like the Lucario and the Mystery of Mew tree, I think the ghostly silver branches point to an ancient G Corsola/Cursola being kept within that old fortress looking building. (Also, I believe we're getting more Ice and/or Fire Type Variants in Crown Tundra and Gen. 4 Remakes.)
What if stuff was made in Sinnoh but Mew was just everywhere just like it says in-game. Mew can also be found in the wild in Hoenn and its also an event everywhere. Fossil Pokemon are probably millions of years old just like real-life prehistoric creatures.
This video really put perspective on how old this region is. Though I must say, I don't believe that the Galar region is where life began. I do believe that it is where the first or earliest civilizations came into being though. Most of the ancient places, structures and Pokémon you mentioned were more or less created people. The Regi Pokémon kinda prove this as well, because they weren't only created to look cool and represent the ages. From what I understand/remember about them they where also created to teach people. Of course, strong, old and rooted civilizations will preserve and have a record of their history. This is why unlike the Sinnoh region who mainly lived to the whims of their Pokégods, we can still see this history in Galar. I do strongly agree when you say it's possible that the Galar and Sinnoh regions are really close or even connected at one point. I can't wait for the new remakes to see if they revamp the creation stories. All in all, I do believe that Galar is old, definitely the birthplace of human civilization, just not the start of life, for Pokémon at least. Also... The fossils look really developed in terms of there biological structure. I mean comparing the halves that you can see to the Kabuto line, Lileep line and the great ancient one, our Lord Helix you can tell that the Pokémon that the Galar fossils are supposed to be are far more developed/evolved.
The fossil pokemon being miss matched is a reference to real life when Brits first found the fossils and put the bones together in the wrong order or in the wrong set. "Cara Liss" or carelessly putting bones together. So by that logic, in the pokeverse, fossil pokemon were first discovered in Galar.

Mini Theory that may be popular, but I do t think I’ve heard of it. Everyone says that ditto is a failed mew clone but what if ditto is just the cells that have fallen off mew. It explains why they have the same color normally and shiny, and why ditto only knows transform because it’s a part of a whole Pokémon, it’s only job was to keep making new Pokémon, this could also explain Pokémon that look like objects, they were they less creative ditto to say. Also why ditto is in every region because now the family tree they are every Pokémon. (Also why they can breed with ever Pokémon, because they are them). Just what I like to believe, love your content!!!!
What if every Pokemon Generation is a progressively older region. Kanto being the youngest region, Johto being a little older, Hoenn being even older, and so on?
The hybrid fossil Pokémon are a historical reference. British paleontologists were notorious for accidentally assembling fossils incorrectly. Mistakenly mixing different animals or putting the head on the tail instead of the head
The main problem I have with your theory is the idea that creation started in Galar? The Lake Trio have to originate from Sinnoh because the Lakes are in Sinnoh. Maybe Mew migrated to Galar or evolved in migration but Pokémon Life had to have begun in Sinnoh
You talking about how Legendary Pokémon might just be living underground and how Galar might be the origins of the Pokémon world is also interesting when you look at the info of Calyrex. A small bodied, large headed psychic type Pokémon said to have ruled over and ancient empire, if I remember correctly. I wonder if that is a reference to either a time of Pokémon having their own rulers, humans following the rule of a Pokémon, or potentially the time when humans and Pokémon were still one or similar in nature.
Bird keeper was right, Sinnoh was next and he predicted it in a logical string of history more a good year before hand even more accurately then he though. Pokemon Legends Areceus is literally a jump into history so this will be fun. Funny how that works lol
Maybe Sinnoh and Galar were part of the same landmass so they will probably share a lot of Pokémon. I’ve noticed with remakes they always tie in with the new regions lore, Johto had the sinjoh ruins, Hoenn had great ties to kalos with mega evolution, so maybe when the sinnoh comes out, they’ll say that sinnoh and Galar used to be the same landmass but then Regigigas split it apart?
for me Mew always was a symbol for DNA as it's name already hints towards "Mewtation" and it can basically become any Pokemon and use any attack. Just like Ditto which is theorized to be the "leftovers" of failed attempts of cloning Mew.
I think that galar is probably the most ancient civilization, but sinnoh was the origin of life. I think that what may have happened is that Arceus is born, then uses the unown to create the majority of legendary and mythical Pokémon, including mew. Due to how regigigas is obviously much older and more powerful than the other regis, I think it is fair to assume that the other regis were modeled after regigigas, and I think that the ancient galarians were the first humans to stop being nomadic and the original creators of the regis, which they enshrined in the mountain for whatever reason. And to tie up the loose ends, I think that mew is probably a wandering Pokémon, and the fossils can't be reconstructed properly because the scientist is either too bad at their job, or they can just be found because an ancienter civilization probably has dug more land and gone deeper into the earth
You’re videos are always so awesome. I hardly ever take the time to research my beliefs about Pokémon lore, but you always put in so much work to make your videos, and I love it. Keep up the great work!
There is a possibility that Galarians intentionally brought them in having gathered them from other regions out of sheet fascination and interest. It mirrors reality, even if the Pokemon version doesn't share the violent history of our world.
I know I've theorised about Eternatus or atleast it's predecessor in the darkest day being the living embodiment of Necrozma's missing light it's searching for but thinking about it during this video both Arceus aka God and it's Thousand hands aka Unown are unable to enter the apparently heathen lands of Galar and we do see Eternatus hatch from an egg, could there be a greater plot here perhaps Eternatus is Arceus's parallel? The opposing force?
If you go by the way Toby is wording it, he technically ignored Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, and Mewtwo, which can all be found in Kalos natively AND are part of the Kalos Pokedex. And by his own standard, Toby shouldn't have included Mew because it is not part of the Galar dex (yes it's in the code but so are Mewtwo, Jirachi, etc. but they aren't actually part of the dex). So Galar still only has 5 native legendary Pokémon until the DLC is released (if you can even call Type Null and Silvally native, but they are part of the dex so they count).
Since Galar is base off the UK could not most of the golem like Pokémon be imported from other regions. We have Copperajaj which is said to came from another nation Eiscue as well is not from Galar. Galar just has a lot of imported Pokémon. The regi though have there own temple or shrines in Galar and Unova where as Sinnoh and Hoenn they are sealed. Maybe when the Regis were sealed in Hoenn and Sinnoh legends of them spread across the world.
I mean, things like regional variants and the variations between different bird Pokemon based on their habitats and stuff would more or less disprove the theory that real world evolution doesn't exist in the Pokemon world. Pokemon Evolution is more or less similar to metamorphosis, the best example of which is a caterpillar becoming a butterfly, whereas real world evolution is more like what Charles Darwin talks about, which as I said is shown in things like the regional variants and the different ways the birds are different from each other (which is better explained in a video by Game Theory that they did with the Dex), if that makes any sense. In other words, both happen in the Pokemon world.
How is there two regi shrines cause when the Regis first came into the games they were in shrines right. Then how r they in t galar and in the first region they came from plz do a theory on this I really want answers to this
I understand where you are coming from with your research but there some explanations to some of your claims. The some of the dates explain in the games don’t signify the age Pokémon have been around, but the age of humans in the Pokémon world. To say that Pokémon originated from Galar because of a Pokémon that was coded into the game (without backstory) is far fetched. Mew has been coded in all games so the argument could go that it could be found in all regions. That can be a solid argument as to why there are special kinds of Pokémon in certain regions. Therefore, Mew could be originally from all regions. Unless they make a new region and say that’s where it originates from or the Pokémon Company actually publicly announces it themselves. As for the Fossil Pokémon from Galar.... were you not paying attention to how the scientist Cara Liss was? Quite frankly I think she shouldn’t be trusted in fossil restoration. Imagine if you gave her a Dome Fossil and a Helix Fossil. She wouldn’t give you Omanyte and Kabuto fossil, it would probably be a fusion of the two. Anyways good video, you show effort and determination. That I truly respect!
Not that anyone will actually see this comment. But Dialga can literally manipulate time, so maybe Sinnoh is actually WAY older than we realize. With Dialga’s time manipulation, Sinnoh could potentially look thousands of years younger than it actually is. On top of that. When Groudon and Kyogre battle it dramatically changes the water/earth ratio. So maybe when they fight in Gen 3 stuff got moved around (supporting the idea of Galar being close to Sinnoh) Finally, we can’t base the size of a city off the games, as they change depending on art and play style. I think looking at how the cities are done in the anime or manga tells us a more realistic size.
Man I just love how Toby can bring out the theorist in me and have me thinking into the depths of the Pokémon world. I can't wait for your next theory.
Video idea for my favorite pokemon historian: saying legendary pokemon were the first pokemon, of which most are psychic type, does this mean psychic was the first type? If so, how and in which order were the other types developed? Just a topic that came to me while watching this and would love to see you cover it.
Galar might have just had more civilizations survive than Sinnoh did. Since they regularly dealt with dynamax pokemon rampages, they built to last, unlike the others who might have just gotten crushed and had to rebuilt. We know Hoenn doesn't have a lot when it comes to ancient civilizations, but the lore from the Draconids talks about them being around from super ancient times, likely when Regigigas was moving continents since groudon and kyogre where the ones making them and the seas. Yes, I'm a hoenn fanboy lol. We might have had multiple ancient civilizations scattered about the world, and just as many mew living in various 'World Trees' across a multitude of regions, with the nascent pokemon and human populations mixing and mingling whenever the actions of the legendaries and mythicals allowed. We can also propose that it wasn't until the recent few thousands of years, with things like the super weapon in kalos, the ancient pokeballs from Pokelopolis and Pokelantis and the mastery of creating golem-pokemon like claydol and sigilyph, that humans could really 'stand against' the forces the world could turn on them.
Maybe the reason that some pokedex entries have DNA mentioned in them(scorpi and sizzlipide) is to tie in to the crown tundra and show that galar is very old or the oldest region
I like the theory overall, but the thing about the fossils being older in galar than other regions doesn't really add up to me. Some of the galar fossils are dinosaur like much like other fossils we've had in past generations and they've been 'perfectly' restored. I think it's more likely that the galar fossils simply are in worse condition than fossils in other regions - meaning that they have deteriorated more than other fossils in other regions that are from the same age.
You might be on to something, since most other fossils are found in caves, where the climate usually stays the same, while the Galar Fossils can only be found in the Wild Area, with its ever changing climate and weather conditions.
A very interesting theory, though I'm not so sure about the fossil element. Obviously the history of life is different in the Pokemon world, but in the real world the inspirations for the Kanto and Hoenn fossils (except Aerodactyl) are much older than those from Galar.
I thought maybe mew might of been a left over cell of arseus that was creating pokemon and fell onto a divine tree multiplied over the years but changed due to different places like in caves diging and changed and now mew became the last of it's kind but I might be completely rong
the crown tundra is the south most part of galar. and the north most part of sinnoh is super snowy too so the two regions may have been connected there and then regigigas split the one continent into two and towed sinnoh away to a different location. at least that is what i think.
I would like to point out some further evidence towards the tree in Crown Tundra being the Tree of Beginning that you didn’t bring up: The region the movie Lucario and the Mystery of Mew took place in was never stated, but it primarily took place on either the tree or in a castle. What is Galar littered with? Castles. Also, with Lucario being fairly easy to find in Galar and Riolu only being available during snowstorms (like the Tundra is prone to having), Lucario’s debut in that movie could be another tie to the trees.
I think Arceus was first, and he simply made a “source code Pokemon” aka Mew, truly I believe you could call mew the “DNA” Pokémon or the “source code” Pokémon interchangeably. Arceus simply moved the genetics section of its godliness to mew as to focus on other things
I think the point of what the pokedex says about it being the ancestor of all pokemon means it's the ancestor of all pokemon on earth that weren't directly created by Arceus, such as Dialga, Palkia and Giratina and the lake trio and ones made elsewhere not on earth such as the ultra beasts
@@RoxieRoad exactly! All non legendary Pokémon were sourced by mews code, for it is the ancestor of all ORGANIC life, arceus created mew on the same level of the ones you just named in my opinion
it might be more that as you said that sinnoh region is where everything is created, it might have been that the planet was more of a pangea at its creation and that life/mew was made on one of the sides which broke off when regigigas pushed it apart like in his lore
my theory is that there were multiple regions a series of them such as alola with it's theme of life and beginnings, hoenn because of the continent movers, weather trio and draconids, galar because of how old it is also the ancient civilisations, kalos because of life and death being the main theme of the game and sinnoh because of the mythology involving life and infinity
Jotoh also has the unknown and the ruins of ralph which are ancient ruins, which are connected to arceus. Unknown being the fabric of thr universe and arceus arms.
I need to point out that the Galarian scientist we see, other than Magnolia, is Cara Liss. So we can’t assume they’re that in the dark about the fossils.
I always had this idea that arceus creates the mews and everything began as a bunch of mews who slowly evolved to become the Pokémon we know today, some mews stayed mews and most others started to change
It makes sense that Galar is one of the older Pokemon regions since it was based on the UK which has a long history. I think this is defininatly the oldest region so far, but it’s still possible there will be older ones in the future. When you think about it humans have been around for a lot longer than 200000 years in our world and I can only assume they’ve been around longer in the Pokemon world as well, we just haven’t gotten to see those regions yet. Also I think the fossil Pokemon are just the result of the incompetence of Cara Lee, she doesn’t really seem like she knows what she’s doing.
This is a good theory, it's fitting to what I think game freak is planning for the future of Pokemon. It wouldn't surprise me if instead of creating a remake/new game that they'll just create dlc that will expand this current game.
My own opinion is that arceus came first created time space and anti matter, then created wisdom, willpower and emotion then created Life to contain all of those aforementioned wisdom willpower and emotion aka mew and then life branched off from there
Something that will really tie galar and shinnoh together is that sinnoh might be the place that most kubfu migrated since it is said that they live in mountainous areas far away from the galar region TODAY, sinnoh is a pretty mountainous place but this is only what I've heard.
When you talked about the new regis having an x and y figure I was also thinking that the yellow regi is thunder type like Zekrom and the reddish regi could be a fire type like Reshiram. That means maybe they also have a connection with the Unova region.
@@alucard8433 I know that but I was making another reference to the Unova region. Since the Galar region has a lot of more of Unova and Kalos region pokemon than any other region.
For a game which had not much of a story this game has good lore cause we still don’t know a lot about eternatus (Sorry if I spelled it wrong) but then the Crown Tundra (Isle of Armor didn’t really had much lore but it had character lore) is around it will probably have lore.
This theory has made me way more excited for the dlc, I didn't even consider the lore we could learn. I'm very much excited for your videos on what will be the greatest dlc of all time - cos it's Scotland. Side note - not once in 12 years did I realise the lake guardians look like Mew so I'm an idiot.

Bird Keeper Toby if you want you can put my theory in a future video!
Unless Yveltal is created by Eternatus, it makes no sense that Yveltal is called the Destruction Pokemon if Eternatus is already a thing. If Yveltal is created by Eternatus, Xerneas is created by Arceus to combat Yveltals destruction force, since its the Life Pokemon.

Hmmmm. Now I'm even more hyped for The DLCs. Can't wait to see if you're right :)
I hope that the fossils in the crown tundra are preserved enough so we can finally see the fossil Pokemon in their full glory
Yeah, but part of me wants to see mor amalgamations
The main problem I have with your theory is the idea that creation started in Galar? The Lake Trio have to originate from Sinnoh because the Lakes are in Sinnoh. Maybe Mew migrated to Galar or evolved in migration but Pokémon Life had to have begun in Sinnoh
So for sure again I’m really talking about Mew onwards. Totally possibly Mew was born and migrated to Galar from Sinnoh
Bird Keeper Toby Ah! Okay that makes more sense then!
This is a rarely good question... Where does Pokémon life begin in the Pokémon world?
Dracone1024 human life originates from Africa as for life in general it started in an unknown point in the sea and spread from there
@Dracone1024 Now Im wondering where the next Pokemon movie is taking place.
Do you think we’re going backwards in the Pokémon games? If you think about we’re looking at older stuff and mythology from gen 1 to now.
You talking about how Legendary Pokémon might just be living underground and how Galar might be the origins of the Pokémon world is also interesting when you look at the info of Calyrex. A small bodied, large headed psychic type Pokémon said to have ruled over and ancient empire, if I remember correctly. I wonder if that is a reference to either a time of Pokémon having their own rulers, humans following the rule of a Pokémon, or potentially the time when humans and Pokémon were still one or similar in nature.
I'm still surprised Oak dosnt have Celebi
He couldn't open the GS ball.
So apparently the entire fourth movie is no longer cannon.
Nice, you called the diamond and pearl remakes AND legends arceus.
You're forgetting Sendoff spring exists Toby. It's literally a pre-history burial ground with a backdoor to the otherworld.
There is no doubt Sinnoh is as old as Galar, but I don;t know that Civiliseation and possibly Biological Pokemon life started there is all
Bird keeper was right, Sinnoh was next and he predicted it in a logical string of history more a good year before hand even more accurately then he though. Pokemon Legends Areceus is literally a jump into history so this will be fun.
Funny how that works lol
Maybe Sinnoh and Galar were part of the same landmass so they will probably share a lot of Pokémon. I’ve noticed with remakes they always tie in with the new regions lore, Johto had the sinjoh ruins, Hoenn had great ties to kalos with mega evolution, so maybe when the sinnoh comes out, they’ll say that sinnoh and Galar used to be the same landmass but then Regigigas split it apart?
for me Mew always was a symbol for DNA as it's name already hints towards "Mewtation" and it can basically become any Pokemon and use any attack. Just like Ditto which is theorized to be the "leftovers" of failed attempts of cloning Mew.
I think that galar is probably the most ancient civilization, but sinnoh was the origin of life. I think that what may have happened is that Arceus is born, then uses the unown to create the majority of legendary and mythical Pokémon, including mew. Due to how regigigas is obviously much older and more powerful than the other regis, I think it is fair to assume that the other regis were modeled after regigigas, and I think that the ancient galarians were the first humans to stop being nomadic and the original creators of the regis, which they enshrined in the mountain for whatever reason. And to tie up the loose ends, I think that mew is probably a wandering Pokémon, and the fossils can't be reconstructed properly because the scientist is either too bad at their job, or they can just be found because an ancienter civilization probably has dug more land and gone deeper into the earth
You’re videos are always so awesome. I hardly ever take the time to research my beliefs about Pokémon lore, but you always put in so much work to make your videos, and I love it. Keep up the great work!
There is a possibility that Galarians intentionally brought them in having gathered them from other regions out of sheet fascination and interest. It mirrors reality, even if the Pokemon version doesn't share the violent history of our world.
I wonder why the place you catch arceus in the unused event is called the “Hall of Origin”?
I love you toby. Does anyone know a good seed checker for pokemon swsh?
Perry Sanders leanny.github.io/seedchecker/index.html this is the one I use
I know I've theorised about Eternatus or atleast it's predecessor in the darkest day being the living embodiment of Necrozma's missing light it's searching for but thinking about it during this video both Arceus aka God and it's Thousand hands aka Unown are unable to enter the apparently heathen lands of Galar and we do see Eternatus hatch from an egg, could there be a greater plot here perhaps Eternatus is Arceus's parallel? The opposing force?
Interesting idea. I loved exploring the crown tundra, Beautiful and fun. Seeing fossil pokemon walking around, catching a Keldeo!
If you go by the way Toby is wording it, he technically ignored Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, and Mewtwo, which can all be found in Kalos natively AND are part of the Kalos Pokedex. And by his own standard, Toby shouldn't have included Mew because it is not part of the Galar dex (yes it's in the code but so are Mewtwo, Jirachi, etc. but they aren't actually part of the dex). So Galar still only has 5 native legendary Pokémon until the DLC is released (if you can even call Type Null and Silvally native, but they are part of the dex so they count).
This is the second vid of yours I’ve and I enjoy it a lot more than any other poketuber. Appreciate you 😉
Keep up the great work Toby!! Absolutely love your videos especially the theories and involving the tree of evolutionary life is always amazing!
Since Galar is base off the UK could not most of the golem like Pokémon be imported from other regions. We have Copperajaj which is said to came from another nation Eiscue as well is not from Galar. Galar just has a lot of imported Pokémon. The regi though have there own temple or shrines in Galar and Unova where as Sinnoh and Hoenn they are sealed. Maybe when the Regis were sealed in Hoenn and Sinnoh legends of them spread across the world.
Here is the thing though, Pokemon can evolve in different ways, so I doubt they fully evolved like our world...
I mean, things like regional variants and the variations between different bird Pokemon based on their habitats and stuff would more or less disprove the theory that real world evolution doesn't exist in the Pokemon world. Pokemon Evolution is more or less similar to metamorphosis, the best example of which is a caterpillar becoming a butterfly, whereas real world evolution is more like what Charles Darwin talks about, which as I said is shown in things like the regional variants and the different ways the birds are different from each other (which is better explained in a video by Game Theory that they did with the Dex), if that makes any sense. In other words, both happen in the Pokemon world.
How is there two regi shrines cause when the Regis first came into the games they were in shrines right. Then how r they in t galar and in the first region they came from plz do a theory on this I really want answers to this
Every body start taking a shot every time he mentions diomand and pearl remakes
Hoping for some Sinnoh references in the DLC
I understand where you are coming from with your research but there some explanations to some of your claims. The some of the dates explain in the games don’t signify the age Pokémon have been around, but the age of humans in the Pokémon world. To say that Pokémon originated from Galar because of a Pokémon that was coded into the game (without backstory) is far fetched. Mew has been coded in all games so the argument could go that it could be found in all regions. That can be a solid argument as to why there are special kinds of Pokémon in certain regions. Therefore, Mew could be originally from all regions. Unless they make a new region and say that’s where it originates from or the Pokémon Company actually publicly announces it themselves.
As for the Fossil Pokémon from Galar.... were you not paying attention to how the scientist Cara Liss was? Quite frankly I think she shouldn’t be trusted in fossil restoration. Imagine if you gave her a Dome Fossil and a Helix Fossil. She wouldn’t give you Omanyte and Kabuto fossil, it would probably be a fusion of the two.
Anyways good video, you show effort and determination. That I truly respect!
So many theories in one video and I love how you weave them all together!!
It's all just my headcannon for the games tbh ^_^
Not that anyone will actually see this comment. But Dialga can literally manipulate time, so maybe Sinnoh is actually WAY older than we realize. With Dialga’s time manipulation, Sinnoh could potentially look thousands of years younger than it actually is.
On top of that. When Groudon and Kyogre battle it dramatically changes the water/earth ratio. So maybe when they fight in Gen 3 stuff got moved around (supporting the idea of Galar being close to Sinnoh)
Finally, we can’t base the size of a city off the games, as they change depending on art and play style. I think looking at how the cities are done in the anime or manga tells us a more realistic size.
Man I just love how Toby can bring out the theorist in me and have me thinking into the depths of the Pokémon world. I can't wait for your next theory.
Video idea for my favorite pokemon historian: saying legendary pokemon were the first pokemon, of which most are psychic type, does this mean psychic was the first type? If so, how and in which order were the other types developed? Just a topic that came to me while watching this and would love to see you cover it.
Thanks very informative, love to learn all the knowledge and hear your thoughts from your videos
Galar might have just had more civilizations survive than Sinnoh did. Since they regularly dealt with dynamax pokemon rampages, they built to last, unlike the others who might have just gotten crushed and had to rebuilt. We know Hoenn doesn't have a lot when it comes to ancient civilizations, but the lore from the Draconids talks about them being around from super ancient times, likely when Regigigas was moving continents since groudon and kyogre where the ones making them and the seas.
Yes, I'm a hoenn fanboy lol. We might have had multiple ancient civilizations scattered about the world, and just as many mew living in various 'World Trees' across a multitude of regions, with the nascent pokemon and human populations mixing and mingling whenever the actions of the legendaries and mythicals allowed. We can also propose that it wasn't until the recent few thousands of years, with things like the super weapon in kalos, the ancient pokeballs from Pokelopolis and Pokelantis and the mastery of creating golem-pokemon like claydol and sigilyph, that humans could really 'stand against' the forces the world could turn on them.
Well done on the sponsor! you deserve it!
I'd love it if there were Sinnohan forms of Pokémon for the remake
I’m certain there will be ^_^
Maybe the reason that some pokedex entries have DNA mentioned in them(scorpi and sizzlipide) is to tie in to the crown tundra and show that galar is very old or the oldest region
Meltan and Melmetal are Mythicals lmao, so Kalos still has the lowest amount
Ye but not available normally
Neither was any of the gen 6 mythicals, Mew comes from events or gifts in the latest games
Do you think Calyrex fits in anyway with the connections you made between Mew, lake guardians, Espurr, etc. in an evolutionary way?
3:54 If we're including already-existing Pokemon, why not mention the legendary bird trio for Kalos?
What if the crown tundra, is the conecting point betwen wyndon and snowpoint city?
I like the theory overall, but the thing about the fossils being older in galar than other regions doesn't really add up to me. Some of the galar fossils are dinosaur like much like other fossils we've had in past generations and they've been 'perfectly' restored.
I think it's more likely that the galar fossils simply are in worse condition than fossils in other regions - meaning that they have deteriorated more than other fossils in other regions that are from the same age.
You might be on to something, since most other fossils are found in caves, where the climate usually stays the same, while the Galar Fossils can only be found in the Wild Area, with its ever changing climate and weather conditions.
I always thought Mew came from a South American region, or at least that was implied sometime in the 90s/early 2000s when the first movie came out.
That tree reminds me of the white tree of Gondor
A very interesting theory, though I'm not so sure about the fossil element. Obviously the history of life is different in the Pokemon world, but in the real world the inspirations for the Kanto and Hoenn fossils (except Aerodactyl) are much older than those from Galar.
When you mentioned egg and Sinnoh, you know what other legendaries can be born from an egg? the CREATION trio in HGSS
I thought maybe mew might of been a left over cell of arseus that was creating pokemon and fell onto a divine tree multiplied over the years but changed due to different places like in caves diging and changed and now mew became the last of it's kind but I might be completely rong
the crown tundra is the south most part of galar.
and the north most part of sinnoh is super snowy too so the two regions may have been connected there and then regigigas split the one continent into two and towed sinnoh away to a different location. at least that is what i think.
I would like to point out some further evidence towards the tree in Crown Tundra being the Tree of Beginning that you didn’t bring up: The region the movie Lucario and the Mystery of Mew took place in was never stated, but it primarily took place on either the tree or in a castle. What is Galar littered with? Castles. Also, with Lucario being fairly easy to find in Galar and Riolu only being available during snowstorms (like the Tundra is prone to having), Lucario’s debut in that movie could be another tie to the trees.
I think Arceus was first, and he simply made a “source code Pokemon” aka Mew, truly I believe you could call mew the “DNA” Pokémon or the “source code” Pokémon interchangeably. Arceus simply moved the genetics section of its godliness to mew as to focus on other things
I think the point of what the pokedex says about it being the ancestor of all pokemon means it's the ancestor of all pokemon on earth that weren't directly created by Arceus, such as Dialga, Palkia and Giratina and the lake trio and ones made elsewhere not on earth such as the ultra beasts
@@RoxieRoad exactly! All non legendary Pokémon were sourced by mews code, for it is the ancestor of all ORGANIC life, arceus created mew on the same level of the ones you just named in my opinion
Did Galar come first? Did Sinnoh? I guess only Time (and Space?!) will tell! 😂
I have a feeling Galar might have come before Sinnoh.
it might be more that as you said that sinnoh region is where everything is created, it might have been that the planet was more of a pangea at its creation and that life/mew was made on one of the sides which broke off when regigigas pushed it apart like in his lore
😥 my device isnt compatible with pokemon masters
That is the best "mustache" I have ever seen
It would be cool if the fossil pokemons True forms come in the DLC
1:52 I don't have a 64-bit phone, so both pokemon masters and your breath are lost on me.
Never thought about the similarities between the Crown Tundra and the Lucario/Mew movie. Interesting.
Great theory toby. More tangents please.
I think this is a really solid theory! I feel like I say this every time but you've convinced me 😁👍
my theory is that there were multiple regions a series of them such as alola with it's theme of life and beginnings, hoenn because of the continent movers, weather trio and draconids, galar because of how old it is also the ancient civilisations, kalos because of life and death being the main theme of the game and sinnoh because of the mythology involving life and infinity
Jotoh also has the unknown and the ruins of ralph which are ancient ruins, which are connected to arceus. Unknown being the fabric of thr universe and arceus arms.
also crown tundra has a few of the last living fossil pokemon who haven't went extinct yet.
so that also supports your theory
I need to point out that the Galarian scientist we see, other than Magnolia, is Cara Liss. So we can’t assume they’re that in the dark about the fossils.
I always had this idea that arceus creates the mews and everything began as a bunch of mews who slowly evolved to become the Pokémon we know today, some mews stayed mews and most others started to change
My favourite mew entry: Apparently, it appears only to those people who are pure of heart and have a strong desire to see it.
It makes sense that Galar is one of the older Pokemon regions since it was based on the UK which has a long history. I think this is defininatly the oldest region so far, but it’s still possible there will be older ones in the future. When you think about it humans have been around for a lot longer than 200000 years in our world and I can only assume they’ve been around longer in the Pokemon world as well, we just haven’t gotten to see those regions yet. Also I think the fossil Pokemon are just the result of the incompetence of Cara Lee, she doesn’t really seem like she knows what she’s doing.
Where can mew be found?
It can't be.
Alucard
That’s the point. Rewatch the beginning of the video
Good theory, although I think a lot of this is kind of a stretch
Hah yeah that’s fair :’)
Deteriorating fossils makes more sense than “eh let’s just slap these bad boys together and see what happens”
Where do you find Mew in Galar?
You can't it has no connection to Galar.
This is a good theory, it's fitting to what I think game freak is planning for the future of Pokemon. It wouldn't surprise me if instead of creating a remake/new game that they'll just create dlc that will expand this current game.
My own opinion is that arceus came first created time space and anti matter, then created wisdom, willpower and emotion then created Life to contain all of those aforementioned wisdom willpower and emotion aka mew and then life branched off from there
Something that will really tie galar and shinnoh together is that sinnoh might be the place that most kubfu migrated since it is said that they live in mountainous areas far away from the galar region TODAY, sinnoh is a pretty mountainous place but this is only what I've heard.
When you talked about the new regis having an x and y figure I was also thinking that the yellow regi is thunder type like Zekrom and the reddish regi could be a fire type like Reshiram. That means maybe they also have a connection with the Unova region.
You mean Kalos region? Where X and Y take place?
@@alucard8433 I know that but I was making another reference to the Unova region. Since the Galar region has a lot of more of Unova and Kalos region pokemon than any other region.
Got an Oak and Mew ad courtesy of Pokemon Masters
Theory confirmed
For a game which had not much of a story this game has good lore cause we still don’t know a lot about eternatus (Sorry if I spelled it wrong) but then the Crown Tundra (Isle of Armor didn’t really had much lore but it had character lore) is around it will probably have lore.
This theory has made me way more excited for the dlc, I didn't even consider the lore we could learn. I'm very much excited for your videos on what will be the greatest dlc of all time - cos it's Scotland. Side note - not once in 12 years did I realise the lake guardians look like Mew so I'm an idiot.
