They consume Milktank's milk, but it's possible that they also have plant milk. Slowpoke tails are considered delicious and that's a plot point in Generation 2. There's actually a lot of references to Pokémon as food throughout the main canon games in Pokédex entries, random dialogue and...

It's suggested several times, especially in Generation 4, that humans evolved from Pokémon and that Darwin evolution makes all Pokémon related to different extents with Mew as a common ancestor to most modern Pokémon and one ancient bird Pokémon from Generation 5 as the as the ancestor to all...

I'm vegan, meaning I don't even eat any animal by-product whatsoever. I would suggest that humans in the Pokémon world are vegans were it not for this: "Pick clean the bones of Pokémon caught in the sea or stream. Thank them for the meals they provide, and pick their bones clean. When the bones...

The various different mythologies in the Pokémon world. How are they all connected? We know Kanto's Legendary Birds seem to be linked to Johto's lugia and Ho-Oh, who are linked to the Legendary Beasts. Johto's Unown are linked to Sinnoh's Arceus, who is linked to the Creation Trio, the Lake...

Deoxys is one of my favourite Pokémon because, well, it's the only one so far that we know is truly and completely alien, and we know it's strange origin story. The whole DNA appearance and space virus nature, I love. It's so different to all other Pokémon, legendaries in particular. It's outer...

Pokémon has always had a lot of fantasy, hasn't it? Not as much as the science fiction elements, but even now the fantasy elements are rooted in pseudo science, what with world destruction being caused by "natural energy" in the Earth, not true magic. AZ being over 3,000 years old is also put...

Professor Cozmo implies that the events of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire jump-started the events of X and Y. He says that he has an "old friend" in the Kalos region whois researching Mega Evolution and the incidents that occurred in Hoenn will further his research, and that one day he will task...

I would like to see the end of HMs. What is the point in making it so that you can't overwrite particular Pokémon moves unless you eventually find a Move Delete? There are TMs which affect the overworld, and one of those is a former HM. The whole HM system just seems stupid and pointless now...

I like more story because it adds substance and depth to the fictional world itself. It's the direction of the main games lately, baring Pokémon X and Y, but even they had a notable focus on a dark backstory. Seeing the difference between the original Ruby and Sapphire and their Omega Ruby and...

Definitely not. There's far too much potential for world-building with regions based on the many real world countries the franchise has yet to adapt, entire types that have yet to be introduced (Light, Wood, Sound, even Celestial for the likes of Deoxys), and there's been some fantastic...

The Kalos wars are tied to the Unova wars (note Kalos' Parfum Palace), AZ and his brother from the Kalos war are the same brothers from the Unova war, so while Lysrande is stated to be descended from ZA's brother, N is descended from AZ. While one of the brothers would inherit Kalos, the other...

You didn't mention in the opening thread that with the remakes, Team Magma and Aqua's true goals are to cleanse the planet of the continued pollution caused by humans, returning it to a clean state. Anyway, it's a tie between Team Galactic and Team Plasma for me since I can actually understand...

I love Pokémon X and Y in general, but I agree that the story felt oddly short. Is it just me, or does the story seem to start halfway through the game? What I mean is, there's hints of it early on but only latter do you get all the dramatics. It's the opposite of Black and White where from the...

Pokémon Black and White featured a very random ghost girl appearance on one of Unova's bridges, and this turned out to part of an event side story in the sequels Black and White 2. If Pokémon X and Y do get a sequel, I have no doubt the ghost girl Hex Maniac will play a notable role. She even...

The main Pokémon anime quite a lot of the time is my biggest pet peeve. It completely ignores plot, story and even mythology elements from the games despite how increasingly prominent they've become. Some of the movies are great are actually follow those things from the games but they don't tie...
