It's one of the oldest and most infamous creepypastas out there -- that you killed your Rival's Raticate in Pokemon Red and Blue. But are you truly an eleven-year-old with blood on your hands? Unlike most other creepypasta, this Pokemon theory actually HAS evidence that gives us a definitive answer one way or the other, evidence that has gone largely unnoticed for the better part of the last decade. So today's Pokemon Theory is putting this question to rest...pun intended. Should Red be renamed as "Murderer Red?" Let's find out!

I didn't kill Raticate. He killed himself because he was confused.
Hyper Fang'd his own wrists. Who can blame him? He's a slave to Gary after all...

>talks about how scary raticate would be
>doesn't mention that beedrill is a three foot tall hornet with spears for arms
In the anime the bee drills would attack unprovoked (sometimes) tho
Also doesn’t talk about the Pokémon that’s 18,000 degrees Fahrenheit and the sun is only 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit
What about a dragon
What about drifloon, the Pokemon that kidnaps children
>talks about how scary beedrill is
>Doesn't mention the one that makes blacks holes
An alternative theory is that Gary fought a different Pokémon trainer who killed Ratticate, thus explaining its absence and removing the blood from your hands.
yeah how does EVERYONE skip the fact that Team Rocket could've done that?
I prefer to think of it like that so I feel less bad
Huh.

Red didn't kill Blue's Raticate, Blue was actually smart and said "if this thing is on my team when I challenge the Elite 4, I won't be the Champion"

THANK YOU
You forget the fact that Blue claims that he has caught 40 pokemon in the battle before the one on S.S Anne. He actively choses to not use 6 pokemon, supposedly because he wants to level up the strongest ones

Maybe Gary didn't want to use Raticate because he's garbage.
Wow that's actually the conclusion Mat came to. Well.
+RenegadeGamer HAHAHA well there's no reason for me to watch the rest of this video cause someone didnt post the SPOILER ALERT
congrats on that prediction.
Well, Raticate, with the right moveset, was actually able to be a powerful ally to beat the game. I played a "Gary Run" where I used only Gary-owned Pokemon through the game. Keeping Raticate would have helped him out if he kept it leveled with his team. Raticate eRaticated Lorelei (only being Lv. 57), wasn't used vs Bruno Mars, destroyed Agatha's Golbat and Arbok and was useful against her other Pokemon, then only fainted when I got to Lance. If trained well, it's quite powerful, especially with Alakazam to make up for its weaknesses.
A fully evovled raticate is pretty strong tbh. doesnt mean he looks like a rat that you can judge him by apperance.
Matpat let me introduce you to the ability lighting rod, an ability that helps ash’s case for throwing pikachu into an electric gauntlet
Except pikachu does get harmed but other lightning attacks which implies he doesn’t have that skill. (Pikachu does do something similar at the very end of the Lt. Surge battle by standing on his tail)
Yes that sounds great
Gary: Ok Raticate I am 90 percent sure you woulnd't die, just dont hit your self in confusion, If you do hit your self the next hit from ash will be fatal
Gary: Alright Raticate use hyper fang!!
Ash: If it isnt 100 percentaccurate it is 50 percent accurate
*1 second later*
Game: Raticate fainted
It is I: grunty boi
Here's a genius idea: Red isn't the only one who fights Blue.
No, that would make too much sense.
GG
plot twist prof.oak has battled him
I know, right?! That's what I always think when I hear this theory.
But obviously only the player is badass enough to kill off another trainers Pokemon :P
Here's my theory about this. Now because Gary's Raticate is at level 16 in its final battle that leaves Mat to believe that it wasn't the same Ratata 'cos Ratata doesn't evolve until level 20.
But here's the thing, the absolute lowest level you can catch a Raticate in Red/Blue in the wild is level 23 in Route 16. So Gary couldn't have caught it in the wild either (unless you're playing Yellow as a Raticate can be caught Level 15 there).
So that leaves me to believe that Gary forced his Ratata to evolve early. Now it sounds impossible but remember that Gary doesn't exactly treat his Pokemon with love and respect.
My thought is that Gary pushed his Ratata so hard that it evolved faster than it should have. And this strain that this put Ratata/Raticate under is what causes it to die when you make it faint in the battle at the SS Anne.
That makes more sense actually
yeah, blue/garry is not the only one, lance has underleved dragonites in the end of the game, and theres alot more examples in the other games too.
I swear Falkner had like a level 9 Pidgeotto in GSC and level 13 in HGSS.
You, my sir, are a legend
That's definitely something worth rolling around in the brain.
Right there with you matt, that latios scene is one heck of a tear jerker. Bo matter how many times i see that seen i will always cry a little for it. They did really good with tugging at the heart strings
4:29
MatPat: It seems like a stupid question.
Me: *Can't sleep and search everywhere to find out how Pokémon dies*
I'm serious, this was like my biggest question of all the time.
I tortured my younger brother with this question XD
Only after some months I remembered MatPat and his Channel because I was searching for scary things in Minecraft and Pokémon and then found this, and I knew from the start that I could sleep peacefully and guilty after this video.
How the hell do you bury something on the top floor of a building?
I've always wondered this. When did you ever see a graveyard building?
maybe those tombstones are actually tombs to contain the remains of the pokemon's ASHes
_GLXC So if it's a Cryogonal it'd be a jar of water? #sorrynotsorry
Could be that while they have grave markers only ashes, are stored (or even just sprinkled when the marker is erected).
I'm guessing the Pokemon Tower was a mausoleum, and those gravestones are actually tombs that hold the dead Pokemon.
"The weird palm tree is better in every category than the giant rat"
Exeggutor's Speed: 55
Raticate's Speed: 97
:P
XD
speed is in every case the most important stat. there is no arguing against that.
@@WalleFails I prefer defenses than speed
@@smd0512 I mean in a game where your pokemon can get one shot from a strong attack, even neutral, defense really doesn’t matter.
pokemon is about who can 1 shot the other person first
That raticate evolved because of BOND OF FRIENDSHIP!!!
In the S.S Anne there is no pokemon center but the town near it does, and also there is a girl in the ship who offers you to sleep, and since sleeping heal health instantly and It is a feature of using "rest" out of battle, that should count.
He forgot Spoink. It would die of heart failure if it stopped bouncing.

I just want to point out that just because it might have died doesn't mean YOU killed it. I mean when Blue was getting off the boat Ratacate could have fell into the water.

Its GARY.......
true but if it did was it in its pokeball
@@turtleboi3236 And in the anime we know Pokemon literally cannot die of age as long as they're in a pokeball. Or starvation/dehydration, I suppose. I'm thinking to that D/P episode with the Sandshrew that was underwater and was *completely fine, immediately upon release.* And also in D/P with James' Carnivine he literally stashed away.
Man, D/P has a lot to say about this theory, huh?

Man, rewatching these is an experience. No wonder I used to headcanon every theory video as true as a child, you just put it in a way that it makes sense to me.
I mean, I may not know much about the older generations of Pokemon, but I do know Garry... Isn't exactly the best. Garry probably was wandering at some point and found an already-evolved Raticate, caught it, and switched Ratata out for it because he thought it was stronger, and did the same when he found Exeggcute.
Or, you could notice some of the comments below as I saw one that said he possibly could have forced the Ratata to evolve (Which I know is possible because I very much remember an Pokemon Anime episode where this one guy was forcing his Pokemon to work unreasonably hard) and because of that and the battle on the S.S Anne it died.
Either way, even if this video was released about 4 years ago, I gotta appreciate it.
oh man that episode was season 1 episode 8, ash pointed out that it was wrong but they just let it slide because that trainer beat team rocket
Blue also talks about how many different pokemon he has caught, saying on the S.S Anne (I believe) he has caught 40 different types of pokemon, but only has 4 on his team. Proving more that he just boxed both his original rattata and his raticate.
What's funny is last year I actually found a giant rat chewing on my ramen packets... Shrimp.

Its basically a giant mausoleum; those small stone buildings you see in cemeteries. Instead of the bodies being buried in the ground, they are instead stored in the floors and walls of a building.

I think it's in their Pokeballs, I've always believed that there's a little cupboard thing in the bottom of the gravestones that trainers can place their deceased Pokemon's Pokeball in.

0:31 YOU MISSED THE CHANCE TO JUMPSCARE US WITH A RATICATE
I love this video because this is the first video i watched from game theory
Also this has nothing to do with the video but I’ll say it anyway: if ur rival chose squirtle, he will have a arcanine and exeggutor. If ur rival chose bulbasaur, he will have a gyrados and a arcanine. If ur rival chose charmander, he will have a gyrados and a exeggutor.
Just to let u know matpat,
I never noticed that.
That's cool.
Mike Henderson yeah. He also did that in Yellow with Gyrados/Arcanine/Raichu, if I remember properly.
Gary even says in the game before one battle that he’s caught 40 kinds of Pokémon so unless he has a mass amount of dead Pokémon, the answer is obvious.
Bro would have to be filling up The Lavender Tower himself
yea
And uf iirc it was imposible to be 40 entries
@@mariox204 Nah that was assuming a bunch of stuff. He could easily have had more than 40.
Can we just stop for a moment and admire how beautiful his singing was
Even more proof you did not kill the radicate is during the champion battle. Blue/gary says he went around collecting pokemon everywhere and he only chose the strongest for the final battle.
I've never liked the "You Killed Blue's Raticate" theory. My main evidence against it is when you beat him before Nugget Bridge, he says "I went to Bill's and got him to show me his rare Pokémon! . . . He invented the Pokémon Storage System on PC! Since you're using his system, go thank him!" This strongly implies that thanking Bill is what Blue was just doing, further implying that Blue uses the storage system. The simplest explanation: Blue stored his Raticate.
Not nearly as interesting.
I think the reason why he switches out his Raticate is to say that you can store your pokemon. I think the pokemon company did it as an example, saying that since he did it, you can do it too.
That is a good theory actually
Yea that battle was before you got on s.s Anne where u "killed" Raticate
But he said that in the theory
I switched my giant rat for a palm tree.
Let that sink in.
Ducky McSaggy I thought this comment was mine
Jonathan Evan nice
haha
Dr. Ducklesworth the II lemme switch that 🌴 with a bag of trash
I switch my butterfly into a useless fish
Bro that sponser transition is just perfection
7 years late but maybe he forced it to evolve early, and the pressure killed it
That could be applied to any trainer at that point
Also you could literally find multiple under level 20 raticate in wild you kinda accusing him for nothing
I guess you could say raticate got E"raticate"d
River Ward you read my mind
*ba dum tss*

froakie frubbles hall of ******shame
River Ward AYeeeee.............:/
The first time I ever heard this “You killed raticate ” theory, I thought of course he uses his box. He says on the ss Anne I caught 40 Kinds of Pokemon. In case you don’t know Once a Pokemon is caught, it’s stored in The pc.

idk why but mat's voice is really calming
Arent there a lot of illegal level pokemon that npcs have?
Yep
Maybe wild pokemon have different evolution rules than trained pokemon and then those trainers caught them after the fact.
One example without looking up Bulbapedia: Team Rocket Trio's Arbok and Weezing in Yellow
Look up and you'll find more
So... Does that mean Team Rocket Trio also changed (not evolved) Ekans into Arbok, and Koffing to Weezing?
Ghetsis's Hydreigon in Black and White anyone?
Lance had a level 40 Dragonite. LEVEL 40.
After all these years I still find it funny matt doesnt mention rattata can die If its teeth grow too long
Me: ready for a story
Matpat: I'm sponsored!!
Me: gotta do me like that
If i remember, he was looking for a cubone in the tower or he was also looking for a ghastly. So that just explain why he was there. Not to mention, he also said "I looked for every pokemon that can beat and types!" before we fight him in the pokemon league, normal cant counter anything other than ghost types which they cant even hit. So the logical thing to do is to box it, since he already have a alakazam.
1:53 funny thing is, I actually called him assface.
I feel like a lot of people name him AAAAAAAAAAAAA
Asshat?
@@janemckee4534
Of course!
I called him MRSASS
you answered everything except for the most important question; why is gary in the lavender town tower? when he sees you, he even says "what are you doing here? YOUR pokemon arent dead!" this puts some heavy implication that he's there because of a dead pokemon.
i stand by the theory that gary's raticate died. he doesnt treat his pokemon with as much love and respect as red, so maybe he forced rattatta to evolve early somehow, to try to make him stronger. but the early evolution put too much stress on him and in the end, it couldnt hold out. instead of feinting, like a healthy pokemon would've done, gary's rattatta dies
But if the player killed it, as the theory says, why does he call you "pal"?
gary's there to catch cubone
he doesn't put any emphasis on the word 'your'
he just doesn't consider that you're there to fill up the pokedex too
also unless you can make that 'maybe' a 'certainly' then that's just a baseless straw-grab
+CoolGamer4161 Sarcasm. Trying to make you feel horrible about yourself.
Good point man
Cathy Box whatever... Blue is just a competitive player, and he wanted a good team. Raticate was just an HM user, and everyone boxes those eventually.
This is why I need to wait til the end of the episodes, because I was going to say “this is depressing” but right before I did, Mat said “absolutely not”
The Lavender Town beat is such fire, dude. Especially when it’s remixed.
I think that Pokémon can evolve earlier when they're trained by NPCs. This is evidence from a different game, but if MatPat can use questionable canon then so can I. In Pokémon GSC, Lance fights you at the Indigo Plateau with two level 47 and a level 50 Dragonite. When _you_ train Dragonair, however, it doesn't evolve until level 55. So I think it's entirely plausible that Gary's Raticate is the same Pokémon as his level 15 Rattata at Nugget Bridge. As an NPC, he's able to make his Pokémon evolve at a different level than you.
yeah lastly matpat theories have been stretched a litte bit...
see,video games tend to be assholes when it comes to NPC levels and items,from early leveling to not having enough strenght to being overwieght
so we're going to accept that NPCs are magic and can make pokemon evolve faster, but not that Garys team is only 5 pokemon for balance reasons?
But then again, at the nugget bridge battle, his starter is Level 17 and it still hasn't evolved yet. There is also the chance that he could've cancelled the evolution, but I doubt he would for whatever reason, since if he was waiting to get a move earlier which would be Scary Face/Rapid Spin/Razor Leaf (Charmander/Squirtle/Bulbasaur, all learned at Level 19), they still get that move, just 1 or 2 levels later after evolving. They're also in my opinion not that good/helpful since this isn't really including competitive play. His starter doesn't evolve till the next time you see him on the S.S. Anne, which is then Level 20, which then if he chose Bulbasaur OR Squirtle, then they would have Rapid Spin or Razor Leaf since those are learned at level 20 after evolving into Ivysaur/Wartortle, but not Scary Face if he picked Charmander, since Charmeleon learns that at level 21.
+Wylade I believe he set Raticate free/abandoned it because in the anime he abandons a Caterpie because it's too weak. And because Raticate is weaker than Exeggutor, he abandoned Raticate.
11:49 *cough cough* Except Speed *cough cough*
lkr lol
But come on, one is a rat and the other is a tree with a few faces on it
grkmk
speed don't mean anything in the end if that is all it got going for it.
Butterfree & Beedrill are hell of a lot faster than the rat and can do more as well.
the rat is weak to more or less everything other than ghost attacks. having a Magikcarp in the team would be over all better as it will evo into something far better.. but then again I think Gary lacks the attention span to wait that long.
+Dizzy Tackson It should still do that. Then having decent speed would be important to have.
Matpad:*talking about stuff* me: the only thing I want to know now, is why there is two more minutes left, the mystery is solved
*scared modern Pokemon noises as I snuggle close to galar region and my Alolan Raticate from Pokemon lets go Pikachu.*
He probably just put it in his PC. He stated in a previous battle that he's already caught like 30-40 Pokemon, even though he doesn't have a full party during the battles afterwards.
A fate worse than death
Fr
Yeah, that's what the video is saying
You can have 40 pokemon, but only 5 viable ones and unless you're doing a nuzlocke, it doesn't matter if you have that 6th pokemon or not.
It's funny how he posted this the same day Papa Franku posted his
Collab?
AnImAl RiGhTs
Coincidence I think not
Blo bo bo bu bu ble ble ble ble ble ble
That's just a theory a TH-cam theory
lol
I don't know who Papa Franku is but it must either be a coincidence or a collab because there is no way this video was done in a single day.
Matpat: blue’s raticate can’t be dead bc its not the level it would evolve
Lance with under levelled dragonite that shouldn’t be able to exist: *sweating nervously*
I honestly have no idea how humans are even alive in the Pokémon world anymore
Guys, KD signed with the Warriors, there is no more loyalty, Gary just swapped Pokémon.

😂😂😂
wtf are you talking about....
Lavender town's music is so catchy.
O sweet Jesus no
Yep
Yes.
It is the same tune as ghaster's theme. Compare them.
Yeah, I like it too :3
The battle in Pokemon Tower is actually the 4th rival battle. The first rival battle on Route 22 is optional, and is normally referred to as Rival 1A
4:04 pokemon killer not animal killer
