When i was catching the 3 psyhic pokemon in sinnoh, it was striking to me how much a like they looked to mew. I thought there was a connection since the four of them are all psyhic type and have cat-like apperances. I find it even stranger that Arecus created the world but cant learn every TM or HM while mew can, since if arecus created pokemon would'nt it of also created there abilitys/unqiuness?
I really like how this discussion is going its really intresting to read all the respones and different views/theories ^_^ - NA |
I've always thought Mew was something like a fetus...

Isn't it safe to catergorize the Pokemon in categories? You don't have to believe me. Lugia - guardian of the sea -- Articuno - Frost, the ANKA -- Zapdos - Lightning, the WAKINYAN -- Moltres - Flame, Rebirth (?), the PHOENIX Lugia is the "guardian of the sea" which we learn from Pokemon 2000, and then there was that corny thing about how ice + fire = water and then the electricity from Zapdos creates an underwater current and all of them have to be in equilibrium or else the sea becomes chaotic and all horror is ensued upon human and Pokemon-kind alike. Rebirth is added to Moltres because we learn in Pokemon Chronicles that it can rejuvenate itself by immersing in lava - perhaps it is the "healing" quality of fire (And Naruto too if you understand ;)). I read somewhere when I was learning about Absaroka Native Americans on Wikipedia about the "thunderbird" Wakinyan. It might have to do with that. I also read somewhere that Articuno was based on the Anka, which would save mountaineers in peril - it happened in one of those episodes with the Sunflora. Ho-oh - guardian of the sky, marking a Hero's path, reincarnation -- Entei - Flame, Courage / Loyalty (?), Heat, KIRIN (?) -- Raikou - Thunder -- Suicune - Cold, Purity, BOREAS Raikou is Thunder, not Lightning. It said so in Pokemon Chronicles. Suicune is the embodiment of the North Wind, or in Greek, Boreas - the cold. It has also demonstrated its powers to purify water and such. Entei, not sure, but I think in Spell of the Unown, that's what Entei was all about. Being courageous and loyal. Being GREEK! Y'know. Also, maybe the reason why it runs around the world is to give off heat to the world, like Kirin, that Chinese thing. Ho-oh is a rainbow Pokemon, it reincarnated the three legendary dogs. I would connect it with Iris, but you've had enough Greek for one day. Latios and Latias - Balance (?) No explanation for this one. They kind of have their own story. Yin-Yang? Rayquaza - protector of the atmosphere Kyogre and Groudon - LEVIATHAN AND BEHEMOTH I think it has something to do with Hebrew religion, but I wouldn't know. Kyogre and Groudon are opposites of land and sea, which kind of leads to thinking that they resemble Leviathan and Behemoth. Adding onto this, they also have a fight which would end the world, much like Leviathan and Behemoth do. Arceus - Creator -- Dialga - Time -- Palkia - Space -- Giratina - EVIL! Well, the Sinnoh story made it pretty clear which was what. I noticed this and then double checked on Bulbapedia. Giratina has 6 of everything. It's probably a reference on Christianity - God creates time and space and then the Devil betrays him. Darkrai and Cresselia Darkrai = sleep, Cresselia = awakening. I think this is a pretty simple parallel. Regigigas - Creator of Continents -- Regice -- Registeel -- Regirock Golems, anyone? Continents. They're all parts of the Earth. Regice resembles tundras, glaciers, and the like. Regirock resembles deserts, wastelands, plainlands, etc. Registeel represents mineral mines... Or something. I'm making this up as I go along. Maybe it has something to do with the Ice Age. If I really wanted to finish this long post, I would, but unfortunately I don't want to. Maybe later. |
Rayquaza = Ziz It is considered a giant animal/monster corresponding to the archetypal creatures Behemoth and Leviathan
There ya go with that one, even though in Jewish Mythology Ziz is a bird... |

Azelf Mesprit Uxie = more angels mew= jesus Cresselia= angel the others ones have to do with other lengends and religons latios, latias = ying yang raquaza= chiense dragon etc |
The Arceus myth also seems similar to this old creation myth I found on Wikipedia.
It tells of a giant called "Pangu" that emerged from an egg into chaotic nothingness. Pangu created the Earth and Sky, and was tasked with keeping them apart. Soon after he had succeeded in his task, his body parts became the sun, moon, mountains, etc... The story of Arceus is similar to this one. Arceus hatched from an egg into nothingness. Arceus created Time and Space, while the giant created the Earth and Sky. The giant was tasked with keeping the two apart, something that Arceus, as the trio leader of the Legendary Dragons also presumably does. And while Arceus doesn't break up into bits, he too retires after creating the essentials for life. |

I dunno why they gave Legendaries such importance in this game... I can almost see a twisted pokemon religion being born... |

Same with the religion, Nintendo ran out of legendary ideas. |
