While the Unown being the building blocks of reality is some sort of a thing them evolving into actual Pokemon under certain conditions is highly speculative, however the black blobs do have a naturally occurring evolution and it's the black sphere with teeth. It's depicted in Shelder when it evolves into Cloyster where the black blob turns into a sphere, develops teeth and hardens to mirror a pearl. We now also know that at one point a baby Tangela was one of these amorphous one eyed spheres with morphed legs and a Tangela evolution or split evolution was going to be a sphere with teeth. There is something going on in Pokemon with the blobs but judging from them evolving sinister smiles it cant be good.

It does makes sense with the first theory, especially since they specialise with defensive stats, either physical defense, hp or both, as well as each being 2 stage evolutions each

To add onto the Galarian bird thing, something is interesting. With a clear past and future theme from the professors and legendaries, it would make sense to consider the Galarian birds as teasers due to Articuno looking futuristic and Zapdos looking prehistoric. Moltres's involvement as a teaser is also present, but that's only the case if the recent wave of leaks is to be believed. (which they more than likely are, but still, don't want to spread the leaks to those who don't want them)

Since PokeBalls are hand made in the game it'd be almost impossible to get that amount of items mass produced in the time period of Legends Arceus.
You are challenged by Fisherman Bob! “Go, Raichu! (Grabs and throws ball) (Good Rod pops out of item ball) “Uh…” “Is…Is this a bribe? You’re offering me this to let you go?” “…If I say yes, will you stop wasting my time by making me do a battle I never wanted or asked for?” “(Looks over fishing pole) Works for me!” “Okay, cool!” Got away safely!
The last theory is actually true, since in Gen 1 there's actually an NPC that talks about an Item Ball when referring to an overworld item near them on the screen.
I don’t know about it being true; since Pokémon shrink to fit a bit, a ball doesn’t shrink the Pokémon to make it fit the ball (canon from PLA). I think item ball from the very early gens was just an easy way to reference an item on the overworld. If they’d have said ‘see that potion over there?’ you’d have been like ‘uh, no. I see a ball.’
@@Bruhkake That is true, but I don't know how reliable Laventon's info is. It could be outdated science, considering the time period. Pokémon could've evolved (Darwinian-wise) to not need that ability, or it could be untrue, even.
@@Lokear that’s true, I feel like since he’s considered the expert it’s at least true in his time frame - they’d know if it was the pokeball or not, as they’d have to at least implement the feature in the ball & could test by removing components. Darwinian evolution is interesting when you come to Pokémon too since it contradicts it so much haha
Dude, did you also forget the Other glaring issue with the Legendary Birds? Namely that their names aren't actually in Spanish, but English.... Freezer, Thunder, and Booster... with Thunder not to be confused with Jolteon (Thunders).
Ok but Articuno Zapdos and Moltres in the Galatians form are completely different, and they got their names because they possess similar traits to the original kanto trio
articuno, zapdos, and moltres are only named with references to spanish numbers in the english translation. There's no connection in the original japanese
I’ve always subscribed to wobbuffet being maybe a pre-evo rework or related to girafarig in some way. What are the odds that two unrelated Pokémon would both have two black faces as tails in the SAME generation. Especially because gen 2 only had 100 new Pokémon. Wasn’t someone at GF able to see the similarities because myself as a 6 year old did 😅
The white hand ghost is a Pokemon that is always following behind you forever behind you, unable to be seen by you but you can always feel it's present behind you.
Different parts of the legendary bird trio theory falls apart under scrutiny. There’s the fact that the Japanese names of the birds have no Spanish motif to them, and the dex entry can’t really be used as evidence since it’s from crystal and is talking about the Kantonian form. The dex entry does mean that Kantonian Moltres would also be found in a region based on the Philippine Islands or Australia though, so that’s neat.
Item ball is just a broken pokeball with an item inside. The “groundbreaking tech” is that pokemon actually shrink, it is canon in PLA at least. So the balls are literally to store them. Yes it doesn’t explain how they all get into a PC but again it could be just a shorthand for a porygon prime same second delivery service.
I REALLY really don’t like the idea that the Galarian birds were the “originals”. I’ve said this before on your channel I’m sure, but I’m pretty certain that it was directly called out either in the game or somewhere canonical that they are NOT related to the original birds; they were just named after them due to the people seeing a resemblance. I don’t think that there’s any reason to suggest that all regional forms must have an “original” version - its more likely convergent (or divergent, I forget which one is which) evolution, which is the real-world name for when two species that seem very similar evolve totally separate from one another but at the same time (roughly). I’m sure it’s fun to try and look and find out which one was “first” but that’s not always how evolution works.
I agree with this, and the likelihood of Scarlet and Violet introducing more of these Convergent Pokémon Species make it seem even more like those birds were added to get people used to this new variant of Pokémon...
I don’t think the item ball theory is correct; as you said, if they can make pokeballs which hold these huge monsters why can’t they adapt it to shrink down items? In PLA, they actually state that Pokémon have the ability to shrink THEMSELVES down into a smaller size in order to fit in the ball, it’s not a feature of the pokeballs itself, just all Pokémon.
@@thephysicsandtheologynerd3112 glad I’m not the only one who picked up on it! It feels like such a weird bit of canon - just to make the reason they have pokeballs in Hisui make sense, as if it was a feature of the pokeball, I doubt they’d be living in basic villages(!) - but still an interesting concept ☺️
@@thephysicsandtheologynerd3112 then again I’ve just thought; the excess poke balls that exceed the 6 Pokémon cap..? They’re teleported and stored in PCs, and items could be stored in PCs too, so maybe item balls were part of canon but at a later date, taking inspiration from Pokémon shrinking down? I dunno, it’s interesting to think about!
The first theory you covered made me think of Jynx as well! Also, I like your angle on the migratory Legendary Birds! It's in the same spirit as SV's supposed take on evolution. I get the impression they're going to revise their Evolution concept, de facto metamorphosis, hence the ancient and future forms, as well Convergent species. Should be fun to see what they came up with!
So I’m pretty sure legends arceus expressly says that the Pokémon itself is what’s shrinking. Poke balls are just kind of a trigger for their inclination to shrink. While I understand it’s pretty nonsensical the ball itself has almost nothing to do with shrinking the Pokémon and everything to do with keeping the Pokémon INSIDE after it shrunk. The first theory doesn’t make a bunch of sense. Because that means the Pokémon can also choose its evolutions freely and also you forget that the evolution of shellder specifically looks like ghastly. Also that the “blob” has only one eye in wobuffets baby evolution. I feel like that’s a VERY broad stretch to say the least. The Galatians bird part had me scratching my head and I say that as someone reads science papers for fun. While you aren’t all together wrong galatian Linoone and zigzagoom also exist and I’m absolutely certain they are not migratory and they also are said to be the originals of their kind. So I can’t say I put too much weight on the idea. Not to mention there is a giant tree SPECIFICALLY for them in galar and they don’t exactly seem like the kind of birds to mate which is normally why that sort of thing would exist which leads me to believe they spend a lot of time there for very different reasons that makes me feel it’s unlikely they spend a whole bunch of time in many other places. (Not to mention america is huge which is probably why the Canadian goose spends so much time there but the Iberian peninsula… isn’t, really.)
hmmmmmmmmmmm is it just me or when I look at Articuno then think about themes or scarlet and violet being past and future I get the feeling Articuno represents future while Zapdos fits the theme of the past and Moltres just got thrown in the bunch.
I think that if we got some Urshifu new forms it would be cool. One could be based on the Roman Empire ( Fighting/Steel) and the other could be based on the rock pillars in England (Fighting/Rock.)
I’ve always disliked that theory. The original Japanese names have no Spanish reference. Plus divergent and convergent evolution are a thing - they could be totally different species who evolved totally separetely, and just named similarly since humans saw similarities.
I can back up the “secret Pokéball” theory with some very critical evidence: PCs in the earlier Pokémon games. You could store items in them. The PCs could take the digitized data of a Pokémon and store it until later… but you can also store items in them in certain games. And you could put an infinite amount of items in there, therefore they aren’t being kept in a little stash hiding under the PC. They are being digitized too, like Pokémon.
The item ball also explains why you sometimes need items like the coin case and tm case. If you put each coin in a poke ball it would take up way more space.
A lot of interesting theories, but that black blob Pokémon one got me thinking on a few things. 1) Another Pokémon that fits into this category might be Mimiku, given that we never see its real form besides shadowy dark limbs, and it is trying to imitate a(n arguably) more loved Pokémon. Another possibility is a symbiotic relationship with whatever became Girafarig given it's two headed nature, which leads to... 2) If Shelder and Cloyster are it, then it fusing with Slowpoke is another example of a symbiotic fusion. 3) Also, it adapts to the world around it to hide and can become various types... actually makes me again think of the Mewtwo Experiments, given the theory that Ditto were born from that, though maybe instead of being like... experiments that were just released/escaped, they are decedents that are still mostly related to Mew, given they are said to be the first Pokémon. It makes sense on the idea of them having a lesser/more permanent/specialized version of Transform. Dumb thoughts yes, but its what I thought of.
Can Attest to Buyee being pretty nice! I managed to win a bid for the limited edition Pokémon Black Japanese Nintendo DS with Japanese carts of Platinum, Heartgold and Black versions, altogether for less than $110! All still had save files with Pokémon I could salvage to complete future dexes, including long gone distribution events. Black even had some Pokémon from the Dream World mechanic still in the Entralink! I implore any number of people to give a shot at Buyee, if only because the Japanese Pokémon carts would allow the player to Masuda Method in any game Gen 4 onward by getting Pokémon of a different language!
Well... Maybe not Gastly since it's just a ghost like something died to become it. But... Voltorb maybe since it's more enigmatic than Gastly in nature.
It personally stopped being convincing the moment it was stated that the Galarian variants are the original when it's not exactly stated as such in the dex when the dex could also be using the Kantonian variants as the original forms as it makes more literal sense due to typing while the Galarian variants could be completely different Pokemon only named that due to similarities in appearance and having those Kantonian forms already in the minds of those who named the Galarian ones.
So about that blob: it has eyes and is completely black, and in the 1997 Gold demo there was a Pokémon called Gemini, which were kinda two ghosts or so, completely black and looked like floating orbs, they could maybe be that Pokémon. And Girafarig has also that blob with a big grin as his tail. I'd really like it if Gemini would have become an official Pokémon, so we could evolve it with evolution stones to Tangela, Shellder and so on, or if it would have been like Castform, so it adapts the type and becomes the respective Pokémon depending on the area around it.
I have similar theories: ▪︎Theory 1: This is like the 1st one in this video, but it involves Mimikyu. I believe Mimikyu & Shedinja are the same Pokémon: both are gjost types hiding under a shell, & if someone accidentally sees their true form, their soul deteriorates. ▪︎ Theory 2: Rockruff is related to Eevee, since it has multiple forms that are affected by the time of day. Zorua & Fennekin are related to Rockruff, because they all have the same cries, & they have an evolution where they become bipedal.
To add to the bird trio theory, scarlet and violet are based of off past and future, zapdos looks more bulky, kinda looks like he’d be from the stoneage, moltres is a dark type, could be the dark ages, while articuno has its visor and psychic type, very futuristic
Maybe this “black blob” is a parasite and attaches itself to: grass, water, and a punching bag, while also possibly attaching itself to a giraffe thus becoming Girafarig?
Why can't the backpack be made with the same technology as a Pokéball? It would explain why houses are missing things like beds and bathrooms. The technology is everywhere.
The reason pokemon fit into pokeballs is bc pokemon have the ability to change sizes. Like they said in PLA and you can see in SV. The items would have to also have the ability to shrink if they were in balls bc the ball is not what gives the ability to shrink. They are just the catalyst for the shrinking that the mon can already do. Don't know if items would have the size change deposition to them. However if the companies that make the items (and balls) they could make the items with them he ability to shrink I guess. Doesn't explain the bike, 3 fishing rods and any other large item bc they aren't all made by the company who makes the pokeballs. Unless there was some sort of standard technology forced into every consumer item to allow for size change
13:30 I love the pokeball idea and ill definitely use it as my own personal headcannon, but in PLA they actually made it cannon that all pokemon have the ability to shrink to go inside of pokeballs! :)
My friend came up with the terrible theory that there’s a secret underground organization that works for arceus that puts eggs in the daycare for your Pokémon because Pokémon is a kid-friendly video game. Neither of us believes it, but it’s fun to think about.
Due to the matter of how they tend to hint at the next gen, it has been weird to me that legendary pokemon gain regional forms, but if these 3 were a hint to the next generations of Spain, it actually makes perfect sense as well, the galatians birds have been a hint all this time
Some fun food for thought. 1. Gen 1-4 seemed some what interconnected and it's own story. Gen 5 was like a reboot of the series that flopped. Gen 6 was them trying to go back to the roots to please the fans while adding a something to be different. Gen 7 added onto that gimmick and brought back old characters and dimensional stuff and what not. Gen 8 seemed to distance itself as much as possible. Crafting its own story with very minor loose ends to other games outside of Sh/SW and it's DLC. Maybe GameFreak is trying to craft another couple of generations with inter connected story lines. Maybe with loose ends into the old one. UsUm has connections to older games than minor references where Sw/Sh doesn't. And Sw/Sh having dynamax being a sort of energy in some way could relate to whatever is in gen 9. If it's true Scarlet and Violet are about time then the power of dynamax energy could fit. And because of legends Arceus, we know there's been those time bubbles, so something in Scarlet and Violet may have happened causing something happening throughout time. (It's late when I'm typing this xD) 2. I think Game Freak hasn't released a true game yet. I think SW/Sh and La have been experiments. Let's go could be too. Sw/Sh could've ended up the way it did because it may have first started being made for the 3DS and not switch. They also we're adding the wild area which was supposed to be the big thing right? Textures weren't that great and the online functions seemed incomplete. The dlc seemed to fix what the main game was lacking in the wild area but not fully. Go to Legends Arceus (which was never said to be open world) it seems like they improved on the whole Pokemon being everywhere in a big open area. This time done better. The graphics still lacking but better. I also believe, if game freak lied about making new Pokemon models instead of porting, they were working on models for Scarlet and Violet. I'll have to rewatch trailers and stuff but I believe they are supposed to be open world and they have poke centers as kiosk things. Like they've had this goal in mind and been experimenting with it since Sw/Sh.
I always thought that’s how it work in the games on the game boy and Ds because when you would go to get on your bike the animation almost seemed like it came out of a pokeball
I heard a similar theory about Wynaut and Wobbuffet, that they are actually the evolved forms of Unown. The part of the theory that gets me is their typing, both Wynaut and Wobbuffet are Psychic types, but since they're based on punching bags, wouldn't the Normal type work better? I mean, I'm pretty sure a Fighting type would have little trouble beating up a punching bag. However, if they were Psychic types because they're pre-evolved form was, aka Unown, it would make more sense. Also, Unown appears right before Wubboffet in the national Dex.
I can't wait for scarlet and violet. I was a huge Pokemon fan in high school when it first came out. I stopped following around the beginning of gen four and just got back into Pokemon. I don't recognize any Pokemon after gen 4.
If there is ever gonna be a Germany region and there will be regional Deino, Zweilous and Hydreigon then the theory about Legendary Birds might be true
Wobbufett, Wynaut, Tangela, Tangrowth, Mimikue, Gastly…. and do we REALLY know if Voltorb and Electrode weren’t originally an experiment gone wrong, fusing mon and ball.
So the translators for Red and Green were like "Listen, I know these birds have completely separate japanese names... BUT - hear me out - what if we connect them with a theme? Here, we'll adapt the elemental names they have in the original and slap the spanish words for one, two and three at the end. You know, in case they make a region based on Spain in around 25 years."
The first theory would probably have some merit if it weren’t for the fact that the tail on wynaut only has one eye, other than that the theory isn’t that bad.
The problem with the item ball theory is that legends arceus actually confirms that shrinking into a tiny size is actually an inherent pokemon ability, not something that a poke ball does itself.
I liked my old theory about how Pokémon time worked in the anime. Basically, it was that the Pokémon series experiences the four seasons three times a year (like in the Unova games) and while they do have regular years, an actual aging year for humans only occurs on a leap year. It was weird and honestly a bit complicated, but it made more sense to me than believing that the Pokémon anime was just Ash in Neverland, especially with all the mentions that a whole year has passed in some of the early Pokémon media. (when they returned to Viridian City the first time for Ash’s eighth badge and the Pokémon Party in the Pichu Brothers short) Sadly, this theory is officially not true, but at least now we know why nothing changes in the games unless outside influence is introduced.
I have a theory that all the dark blob pokemon (shelder, tangla, snorut, etc), voltorb, and wobbufett are all either dead pokemon or people. When something dies, it turns into a gastly. Some gastly go and haunt the places they are buried (lavender town tower), but some go and posses/inhabit certain objects. If said gastly was a human, it will haunt its burial place. If that place is destroyed/they were never given a proper funeral, they turn into Yamask, holding onto the memory of their face in a mask as the last thing remaining of their past selves once they are forgotten. If the Gastly was a pokemon, it will go and find something that reminds them of where they used to live (A shell in the sea, or a tangle of vines). If they had a trainer, they posses a pokeball turning into voltorb. Snorunt is made if something dies of cold or on a snowy mountain.

@@Bruhkake That is true, but I don't know how reliable Laventon's info is. It could be outdated science, considering the time period. Pokémon could've evolved (Darwinian-wise) to not need that ability, or it could be untrue, even.
@@Lokear that’s true, I feel like since he’s considered the expert it’s at least true in his time frame - they’d know if it was the pokeball or not, as they’d have to at least implement the feature in the ball & could test by removing components.
Darwinian evolution is interesting when you come to Pokémon too since it contradicts it so much haha
They can shrink the pokeball they can shrink an item js
@@davidsmith5405 they can fly a Boeing they can fly a lawnmower. Js
Dude, did you also forget the Other glaring issue with the Legendary Birds? Namely that their names aren't actually in Spanish, but English.... Freezer, Thunder, and Booster... with Thunder not to be confused with Jolteon (Thunders).
And if you read the pokedex entry of galarian birds, and change the names to japanesse name, it make sense.
Ok but Articuno Zapdos and Moltres in the Galatians form are completely different, and they got their names because they possess similar traits to the original kanto trio
articuno, zapdos, and moltres are only named with references to spanish numbers in the english translation. There's no connection in the original japanese
I’ve always subscribed to wobbuffet being maybe a pre-evo rework or related to girafarig in some way. What are the odds that two unrelated Pokémon would both have two black faces as tails in the SAME generation. Especially because gen 2 only had 100 new Pokémon. Wasn’t someone at GF able to see the similarities because myself as a 6 year old did 😅
The white hand ghost is a Pokemon that is always following behind you forever behind you, unable to be seen by you but you can always feel it's present behind you.
I heard a crazy rumor that the "Ghost Hand" was actually Master Hand choosing the trainer to participate. 🤭
@@TheOnlyTreasureGuy Or maybe it was Crazy Hand.
I could’ve sworn that somewhere in one of the games it said the bike and/or the fishing rod was foldable
They are indeed! It’s in quite a few of them actually, and I think FRLG the bike seller actually says that when he gives you one.
Different parts of the legendary bird trio theory falls apart under scrutiny. There’s the fact that the Japanese names of the birds have no Spanish motif to them, and the dex entry can’t really be used as evidence since it’s from crystal and is talking about the Kantonian form. The dex entry does mean that Kantonian Moltres would also be found in a region based on the Philippine Islands or Australia though, so that’s neat.
Or maybe the bags have a similar property to pokéballs and can fit almost anything in there
This used to be my theory too!
Item ball is just a broken pokeball with an item inside. The “groundbreaking tech” is that pokemon actually shrink, it is canon in PLA at least. So the balls are literally to store them. Yes it doesn’t explain how they all get into a PC but again it could be just a shorthand for a porygon prime same second delivery service.
i always assumed the pokemon world had a capsule thing (like from dragon ball) going with its items.
I REALLY really don’t like the idea that the Galarian birds were the “originals”. I’ve said this before on your channel I’m sure, but I’m pretty certain that it was directly called out either in the game or somewhere canonical that they are NOT related to the original birds; they were just named after them due to the people seeing a resemblance. I don’t think that there’s any reason to suggest that all regional forms must have an “original” version - its more likely convergent (or divergent, I forget which one is which) evolution, which is the real-world name for when two species that seem very similar evolve totally separate from one another but at the same time (roughly). I’m sure it’s fun to try and look and find out which one was “first” but that’s not always how evolution works.
I agree with this, and the likelihood of Scarlet and Violet introducing more of these Convergent Pokémon Species make it seem even more like those birds were added to get people used to this new variant of Pokémon...
Problem with the blob theory:
Cloyster exists
The fact that in the wobbufett theory all of the adapted wobbufetts are two stage pokemon makes it all the more suspicious
I feel like we all know those pokéballs are getting stored somewhere "outside" of your bag
95 % of the videos on this channel are worthles! Including this one!
I don’t think the item ball theory is correct; as you said, if they can make pokeballs which hold these huge monsters why can’t they adapt it to shrink down items?
In PLA, they actually state that Pokémon have the ability to shrink THEMSELVES down into a smaller size in order to fit in the ball, it’s not a feature of the pokeballs itself, just all Pokémon.
I was about to comment the same thing, but decided to check to see if anyone else had already done so. Thanks Tyler!
@@thephysicsandtheologynerd3112 glad I’m not the only one who picked up on it! It feels like such a weird bit of canon - just to make the reason they have pokeballs in Hisui make sense, as if it was a feature of the pokeball, I doubt they’d be living in basic villages(!) - but still an interesting concept ☺️
@@thephysicsandtheologynerd3112 then again I’ve just thought; the excess poke balls that exceed the 6 Pokémon cap..? They’re teleported and stored in PCs, and items could be stored in PCs too, so maybe item balls were part of canon but at a later date, taking inspiration from Pokémon shrinking down?
I dunno, it’s interesting to think about!
That is a fair conjecture. It makes total sense.
The first theory you covered made me think of Jynx as well!
Also, I like your angle on the migratory Legendary Birds! It's in the same spirit as SV's supposed take on evolution. I get the impression they're going to revise their Evolution concept, de facto metamorphosis, hence the ancient and future forms, as well Convergent species. Should be fun to see what they came up with!
So I’m pretty sure legends arceus expressly says that the Pokémon itself is what’s shrinking. Poke balls are just kind of a trigger for their inclination to shrink. While I understand it’s pretty nonsensical the ball itself has almost nothing to do with shrinking the Pokémon and everything to do with keeping the Pokémon INSIDE after it shrunk.
The first theory doesn’t make a bunch of sense. Because that means the Pokémon can also choose its evolutions freely and also you forget that the evolution of shellder specifically looks like ghastly. Also that the “blob” has only one eye in wobuffets baby evolution. I feel like that’s a VERY broad stretch to say the least.
The Galatians bird part had me scratching my head and I say that as someone reads science papers for fun. While you aren’t all together wrong galatian Linoone and zigzagoom also exist and I’m absolutely certain they are not migratory and they also are said to be the originals of their kind. So I can’t say I put too much weight on the idea. Not to mention there is a giant tree SPECIFICALLY for them in galar and they don’t exactly seem like the kind of birds to mate which is normally why that sort of thing would exist which leads me to believe they spend a lot of time there for very different reasons that makes me feel it’s unlikely they spend a whole bunch of time in many other places. (Not to mention america is huge which is probably why the Canadian goose spends so much time there but the Iberian peninsula… isn’t, really.)
What if the “Black Blobs” are actually just the unknown and these Pokémon are close evolutionary relatives to the unknown?
Shoutout to Lockstin
hmmmmmmmmmmm is it just me or when I look at Articuno then think about themes or scarlet and violet being past and future I get the feeling Articuno represents future while Zapdos fits the theme of the past and Moltres just got thrown in the bunch.
*Spider Sense tingling*
>New HoopsandHipHop video 6 minutes ago
The black blob theory is actually really good!! Also, I love the addition of Unown to this theory!
I think that if we got some Urshifu new forms it would be cool. One could be based on the Roman Empire ( Fighting/Steel) and the other could be based on the rock pillars in England (Fighting/Rock.)
mimikyu colud be an especially mutated form of pokeblob, mutated enough to become a horror.
Cant forget about Mimikyu can link to your black blob theory to as well Hoops! I’ve always enjoyed your content you’re definitely one of my faves
okay but that birds theory is actually perfect!
Hey, I'm subscribed to you!
I’ve always disliked that theory. The original Japanese names have no Spanish reference. Plus divergent and convergent evolution are a thing - they could be totally different species who evolved totally separetely, and just named similarly since humans saw similarities.
13:59 yeah, now we just need Bulma to prove it with her CC Corp Capsule storage.
'Surely we will know more by the time this video comes out' that stings lol. Great vid
Trainers fit so much stuff in their bags like with theory and one box that turns it all into code like with pokemon boxes
*Puts too many items in pokeball. Creates black hole. World ends.*
I can back up the “secret Pokéball” theory with some very critical evidence: PCs in the earlier Pokémon games. You could store items in them. The PCs could take the digitized data of a Pokémon and store it until later… but you can also store items in them in certain games. And you could put an infinite amount of items in there, therefore they aren’t being kept in a little stash hiding under the PC. They are being digitized too, like Pokémon.
The item ball also explains why you sometimes need items like the coin case and tm case. If you put each coin in a poke ball it would take up way more space.
To add onto the wyanot theory what if they are just unknown that became something like shellder tangela seeing as they have hidden power
A lot of interesting theories, but that black blob Pokémon one got me thinking on a few things.
1) Another Pokémon that fits into this category might be Mimiku, given that we never see its real form besides shadowy dark limbs, and it is trying to imitate a(n arguably) more loved Pokémon. Another possibility is a symbiotic relationship with whatever became Girafarig given it's two headed nature, which leads to...
2) If Shelder and Cloyster are it, then it fusing with Slowpoke is another example of a symbiotic fusion.
3) Also, it adapts to the world around it to hide and can become various types... actually makes me again think of the Mewtwo Experiments, given the theory that Ditto were born from that, though maybe instead of being like... experiments that were just released/escaped, they are decedents that are still mostly related to Mew, given they are said to be the first Pokémon. It makes sense on the idea of them having a lesser/more permanent/specialized version of Transform.
Dumb thoughts yes, but its what I thought of.
Me: GO muddy
Oppenent: a fishing rod?
Me:WAIT WHAT
Can Attest to Buyee being pretty nice! I managed to win a bid for the limited edition Pokémon Black Japanese Nintendo DS with Japanese carts of Platinum, Heartgold and Black versions, altogether for less than $110! All still had save files with Pokémon I could salvage to complete future dexes, including long gone distribution events. Black even had some Pokémon from the Dream World mechanic still in the Entralink! I implore any number of people to give a shot at Buyee, if only because the Japanese Pokémon carts would allow the player to Masuda Method in any game Gen 4 onward by getting Pokémon of a different language!
for the first part you could add gastly and voltorb
Well... Maybe not Gastly since it's just a ghost like something died to become it. But... Voltorb maybe since it's more enigmatic than Gastly in nature.
Gastly is when the blob dies.
Your Golarian Bird Theory is very convincing, be interesting to see if they're in Violet and Scarlett
It personally stopped being convincing the moment it was stated that the Galarian variants are the original when it's not exactly stated as such in the dex when the dex could also be using the Kantonian variants as the original forms as it makes more literal sense due to typing while the Galarian variants could be completely different Pokemon only named that due to similarities in appearance and having those Kantonian forms already in the minds of those who named the Galarian ones.
So about that blob: it has eyes and is completely black, and in the 1997 Gold demo there was a Pokémon called Gemini, which were kinda two ghosts or so, completely black and looked like floating orbs, they could maybe be that Pokémon. And Girafarig has also that blob with a big grin as his tail.
I'd really like it if Gemini would have become an official Pokémon, so we could evolve it with evolution stones to Tangela, Shellder and so on, or if it would have been like Castform, so it adapts the type and becomes the respective Pokémon depending on the area around it.
Another theories episode Let's goo!!!
Theory 3: kind of like the capsules of Capsule Corp. from the Dragon Ball franchise
I am moltres, the galarian birds are totaly diffrent, and jus got the same name by cowincadince, also i only migrate through kanto
Heheh... If you can fit a fridge in a pokéball by posessing it with Rotom, a Rotom-posessed bike makes sense too.
The dex entry implies they were named articuno, zapdos, and moltres due to similarities with Kanto versions. I.e. regional fakes
alright that bird trio theory just changed my whole life
To be fair, they're often described as a folding bike and a collapsible fishing rod
I have similar theories:
▪︎Theory 1: This is like the 1st one in this video, but it involves Mimikyu. I believe Mimikyu & Shedinja are the same Pokémon: both are gjost types hiding under a shell, & if someone accidentally sees their true form, their soul deteriorates.
▪︎ Theory 2: Rockruff is related to Eevee, since it has multiple forms that are affected by the time of day. Zorua & Fennekin are related to Rockruff, because they all have the same cries, & they have an evolution where they become bipedal.
To add to the pokeball theory. Voltorb, foogus over world sprites and why they evolved to look like modern day pokeballs(even their shiny forms).
To add to the bird trio theory, scarlet and violet are based of off past and future, zapdos looks more bulky, kinda looks like he’d be from the stoneage, moltres is a dark type, could be the dark ages, while articuno has its visor and psychic type, very futuristic
Maybe this “black blob” is a parasite and attaches itself to: grass, water, and a punching bag, while also possibly attaching itself to a giraffe thus becoming Girafarig?
Pokémon have the ability to shrink
Why can't the backpack be made with the same technology as a Pokéball? It would explain why houses are missing things like beds and bathrooms. The technology is everywhere.
The reason pokemon fit into pokeballs is bc pokemon have the ability to change sizes. Like they said in PLA and you can see in SV. The items would have to also have the ability to shrink if they were in balls bc the ball is not what gives the ability to shrink. They are just the catalyst for the shrinking that the mon can already do. Don't know if items would have the size change deposition to them. However if the companies that make the items (and balls) they could make the items with them he ability to shrink I guess. Doesn't explain the bike, 3 fishing rods and any other large item bc they aren't all made by the company who makes the pokeballs. Unless there was some sort of standard technology forced into every consumer item to allow for size change
13:30 I love the pokeball idea and ill definitely use it as my own personal headcannon, but in PLA they actually made it cannon that all pokemon have the ability to shrink to go inside of pokeballs! :)
Then when the shelder bites the slowpoke, the blob invades the slowpoke's body as its most advanced type of puppet.
My friend came up with the terrible theory that there’s a secret underground organization that works for arceus that puts eggs in the daycare for your Pokémon because Pokémon is a kid-friendly video game. Neither of us believes it, but it’s fun to think about.
For the black blob….it would be nice if they came up with a pokemon that can evolve into them depending on different methods
The Legendary Birds being from Paldea theory falls apart really quickly when you consider the fact Articuno's name in the japan is Freezer.
An addition to the black blob theory is the fact that Arceus's original design was a Black blob.
About the item balls, how your bag doesn’t fill with item balls, is that you put item balls in item balls and then put those in more item balls.
Due to the matter of how they tend to hint at the next gen, it has been weird to me that legendary pokemon gain regional forms, but if these 3 were a hint to the next generations of Spain, it actually makes perfect sense as well, the galatians birds have been a hint all this time
Some fun food for thought.
1. Gen 1-4 seemed some what interconnected and it's own story. Gen 5 was like a reboot of the series that flopped. Gen 6 was them trying to go back to the roots to please the fans while adding a something to be different. Gen 7 added onto that gimmick and brought back old characters and dimensional stuff and what not. Gen 8 seemed to distance itself as much as possible. Crafting its own story with very minor loose ends to other games outside of Sh/SW and it's DLC. Maybe GameFreak is trying to craft another couple of generations with inter connected story lines. Maybe with loose ends into the old one. UsUm has connections to older games than minor references where Sw/Sh doesn't. And Sw/Sh having dynamax being a sort of energy in some way could relate to whatever is in gen 9. If it's true Scarlet and Violet are about time then the power of dynamax energy could fit. And because of legends Arceus, we know there's been those time bubbles, so something in Scarlet and Violet may have happened causing something happening throughout time. (It's late when I'm typing this xD)
2. I think Game Freak hasn't released a true game yet. I think SW/Sh and La have been experiments. Let's go could be too. Sw/Sh could've ended up the way it did because it may have first started being made for the 3DS and not switch. They also we're adding the wild area which was supposed to be the big thing right? Textures weren't that great and the online functions seemed incomplete. The dlc seemed to fix what the main game was lacking in the wild area but not fully. Go to Legends Arceus (which was never said to be open world) it seems like they improved on the whole Pokemon being everywhere in a big open area. This time done better. The graphics still lacking but better. I also believe, if game freak lied about making new Pokemon models instead of porting, they were working on models for Scarlet and Violet. I'll have to rewatch trailers and stuff but I believe they are supposed to be open world and they have poke centers as kiosk things. Like they've had this goal in mind and been experimenting with it since Sw/Sh.
I always thought that’s how it work in the games on the game boy and Ds because when you would go to get on your bike the animation almost seemed like it came out of a pokeball
First rule of the Item Ball: We don’t talk about the Item Ball. Second rule of the Item Ball: We don’t talk about the Item Ball!
With the articuno zapdos and moltres forms you would also need to take into account kalos since theyve appeared in their original forms there
Item balls would explain how in the anime they'll stop in the middle of a forrest for lunch and a table will appear out of nowhere.
In my headcannon, item balls project around the item to protect it from the elements.
the 2nd hurdle with the birds is their names....they only have spanish words in their english names so i dunno
I heard a similar theory about Wynaut and Wobbuffet, that they are actually the evolved forms of Unown. The part of the theory that gets me is their typing, both Wynaut and Wobbuffet are Psychic types, but since they're based on punching bags, wouldn't the Normal type work better? I mean, I'm pretty sure a Fighting type would have little trouble beating up a punching bag. However, if they were Psychic types because they're pre-evolved form was, aka Unown, it would make more sense. Also, Unown appears right before Wubboffet in the national Dex.
I can't wait for scarlet and violet. I was a huge Pokemon fan in high school when it first came out. I stopped following around the beginning of gen four and just got back into Pokemon. I don't recognize any Pokemon after gen 4.
I think that's pretty cool of a backstory lol. I'm pretty sure you'll find new favorite pokemon from gen 9 tho🤔
I love these kinds of videos! They are so interesting! 😁
If there is ever gonna be a Germany region and there will be regional Deino, Zweilous and Hydreigon then the theory about Legendary Birds might be true
Wobbufett, Wynaut, Tangela, Tangrowth, Mimikue, Gastly…. and do we REALLY know if Voltorb and Electrode weren’t originally an experiment gone wrong, fusing mon and ball.
The pokeball theory about being special kinda reminded me of dbz where they have the capsules to store houses and buildings
Maybe the tail has fake eye spots to trick predators coming from behind
So the translators for Red and Green were like "Listen, I know these birds have completely separate japanese names... BUT - hear me out - what if we connect them with a theme? Here, we'll adapt the elemental names they have in the original and slap the spanish words for one, two and three at the end. You know, in case they make a region based on Spain in around 25 years."
The first theory would probably have some merit if it weren’t for the fact that the tail on wynaut only has one eye, other than that the theory isn’t that bad.
The problem with the item ball theory is that legends arceus actually confirms that shrinking into a tiny size is actually an inherent pokemon ability, not something that a poke ball does itself.
* Casually throws a stone across all of France *
I liked my old theory about how Pokémon time worked in the anime. Basically, it was that the Pokémon series experiences the four seasons three times a year (like in the Unova games) and while they do have regular years, an actual aging year for humans only occurs on a leap year. It was weird and honestly a bit complicated, but it made more sense to me than believing that the Pokémon anime was just Ash in Neverland, especially with all the mentions that a whole year has passed in some of the early Pokémon media. (when they returned to Viridian City the first time for Ash’s eighth badge and the Pokémon Party in the Pichu Brothers short)
Sadly, this theory is officially not true, but at least now we know why nothing changes in the games unless outside influence is introduced.
Mimmykyu is another Pokémon that conceals it’s true form specifically because it’s stated people can’t comprehend it.
I have a theory that all the dark blob pokemon (shelder, tangla, snorut, etc), voltorb, and wobbufett are all either dead pokemon or people. When something dies, it turns into a gastly. Some gastly go and haunt the places they are buried (lavender town tower), but some go and posses/inhabit certain objects. If said gastly was a human, it will haunt its burial place. If that place is destroyed/they were never given a proper funeral, they turn into Yamask, holding onto the memory of their face in a mask as the last thing remaining of their past selves once they are forgotten. If the Gastly was a pokemon, it will go and find something that reminds them of where they used to live (A shell in the sea, or a tangle of vines). If they had a trainer, they posses a pokeball turning into voltorb. Snorunt is made if something dies of cold or on a snowy mountain.
