    We all know Pokemon Go, but where IS this game in the Poke-universe? What does it MEAN for the world of Pokemon? Well it turns out that Pokemon Go may just hold the key to answering one of Pokemon's longest held mysteries - one that has lingered since the very first generation...

      Piece of Cake Not really. If ditto are failed experiments, and Mewtwo isn't in the game yet, that still works fine. Just means they've started to try and clone Mew and have failed a few times, hence Dittos starting to appear

      LIE!!!!!! When this next update of ditto being released comes, this may mean the tests have started and a living product came out of like a time period started and if this theory is true, think about (with the evidence it honestly might be!) it just may mean that the first ditto was just created! But that's just a theory........ GAME THEORY (to help matpat not have to covers this for you :D)

    • @devilhunterred
      @devilhunterred 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Mewtwo isn't in the game because it's a legendary pokemon, there's supposed to be only one in the world. It doesn't make sense if multiple people all have mewtwo. Not to mention Mewtwo would single handedly be the strongest pokemon in the game and it wouldn't be fair in gym battles.

    As a die hard Pokémon fan, I LOVE this theory. Even though it didn't age as well with the release of all the new Pokémon and features. From just a basic sense of timeline, it all adds up. It could even explain stuff like why the Game Freak office always breaks the fourth wall, down to why the PokéDex is ordered the way it is, even the origin of all Pokémon. Though it isn't flawless, what Pokémon timeline theory is?

    As someone who has played Pokemon GO daily since getting into the beta in 2016, this video is an absolute TRIP to watch! I am absolutely in love with the idea that GO is canon in the Pokemon universe, especially the bit about Pryce/Willow. Obviously a lot has changed, mostly thanks to updates to the app and the release of Pokemon Legends: Arceus, but this was still a fantastic watch 6 years after this game's release. I wonder if Pokemon GO has any more theories that have developed over the half decade that has passed?

    So if this theory is correct, then the timeline might go as follows:
    -Pokemon enter the Earth dimension
    -Humans begin researching pokemon, Mew possibly captured and experimented on
    -Porygon is created
    -Pokemon trainers begin to battle over how pokemon should be trained/used
    -Ditto is created in a failed experiment
    -Trainers discover the baby variants of pokemon and how to hatch them

      Well, considering game plot and the anime plot are in a different universe, we could just ignore that detail about Ash. And Professor Willow is actually Professor X Willow. Not Willow X. Just like the others. Samuel Oak. Aurea Juniper, etc. This timeline doesn't make any sense because AZ clearly stated that it's been 3000 years since he last saw Floette aka the end of the war. So, it's very unlikely that Mewtwo is completed before the war.

    You may be forgetting something. I would have to say the spark, or whatever his name is, the leader of team instinct, is perhaps the youngest of the team leaders. From appearance and personality, I’d have to say the guy is about 17-19 in the universe of Pokémon go. Lutenant surge is probably in his late 20s. Both share a knack for electric types. That’s all I have, but they could be the same person

    • @witchydragon106
      @witchydragon106 7 ปีที่แล้ว +21

      Alex Lee well those pokemon have been around for a very long time, and there are possibly ancient ones that were since fossilized. they're even somewhat rare pokemon in go, and maybe the already supply of them in go was used up in the war since people usually want more powerful or rare things in life.

    • @adc2422
      @adc2422 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      CallingBlueBird That ties into the pokemon anime, which Mat Pat consider to have too many conflicting canon facts. Basicly, if Ash is loosely involved it doesn't effect the canon of the games, just the show.

    • @RealClassixX
      @RealClassixX 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    • @swatson9582

      Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire Pokedex, "Omanyte is one of the ancient and long-since-extinct Pokémon that have been regenerated from fossils by people. If attacked by an enemy, it withdraws itself inside its hard shell." If this theory were true then Omanyte would need to be regenerated at a lab somewhere without the possibility of it found, even rarely, anywhere since it is "long-since-extinct."

    And Lt. Surge seems to be in his 50's seeing he had been in the great Pokémon war you have to think that since instinct was in that war (as matpat said) and if instinct was in that war and Lt. Surge was in that war doesn't that seem a little obvious.

      They found a piece of Mew's hair/fur. They used the DNA from the hair to clone Mew into Mewtwo. Only Mewtwo and maybe Ditto survived. The ones that didn't make it were CharmanderTwo, SquirtleTwo, BulbasaurTwo, and AmberTwo. Well... That is if we're going by anime logic.

But the ratio is far to small for an adult. Keyword there "Adult". This is a child's room. The child was forced to be here against his/her will.

    I think the fact that Ditto appeared means that the cloning has started. After Porygon's creation and before Mewtwo's cloning. Which means that the war will start soon.

      Or they has the data for Ditto this entire time, and they just wanted someone to find this out and they added Ditto now to simulate the start of the cloning.

      What I think is that there was a final battle in which the team

    in this video, Matpat suggests that this takes place in the past and mentions the fossil pokemon, however it could be the opposite, it is the future, after all the fossil pokemon are revived, safari zones have taken over, gyms are simplized, and more, this is the only option I can come up with noting that mewtwo and ditto were added to the game later on.

      Kidus Yohannes I don't see how a war would make the fossil pokemon extinct, gen 1 fossils are mostly found burrowed on oceans since they're part water type and they're fossils so yknow, they have to be burrowed underground if they are extinct (which they are)

    Ditto coming into the game doesn't change anything about your theory Mat! What if the game is now going through the cloning process and Ditto is the failed attempt you talked about? That would explain why we still don't have mewtwo. Because they are still trying and failing to clone Mew successfully and eventually we will get Mewtwo when they finally figure out how to clone properly. But hey, that's just a theory. A comment theory! Thanks for reading!
