Most Mysterious Pokémon?
 
Alot of people would say Mew, But I don't. I may not know much about mysterious Pokémon. IMO I think the most mysterious would have to be Lugia. But thats in my opinion.

Whats the most mysterious Pokémon?

Legobricks October 23rd, 2008 3:54 AM

I'd say Unown. It's known that Mew is the ancestor of all Pokemon, but not who started to make writing that comes to life and exerts strange powers, nor why or how they did it.

♣Gawain♣ October 23rd, 2008 4:33 AM

Yah. Unown, Rotom and his "gang", and finally Diglet. 'Cause we keep wondering what's beneath his head?

Are you sure you want to find out? :D


I think that Xatu deserves a mention too. Did it leap out of a totem? Who knows..

I agree, Unown has always been a big mystery to me and I am sure others too.

What came first? Unown or writing?

I think that Unown came first and the English language (in Pokemon) was based off of the Unown.

Bleuhorn October 23rd, 2008 9:56 AM

I think just about any pokemon is mysterious. They came from outer space? Mew created all pokemon? Maybe. We've still yet to see a proper back story to answer everything.

DonRoyale October 23rd, 2008 10:01 AM

Unown, definitely. It's treated like a legendary in the anime, because it's synonomous with ancient powers and secrets.

The Instant Classic October 23rd, 2008 10:48 AM

Well to me the most mysterious pokemon are either suicune...lol... or the pokemon of the 3 lakes...lol...
I mean all of them just keep appearing out of nowhere!

Ruphire October 23rd, 2008 10:56 AM

I think that Giratina is pretty mysterious. I mean I just wonder what he guards in Wayward cave...

Lynnx October 23rd, 2008 11:43 AM

I'd say Unown, for sure. And probably Mew ... maybe Rotom too, I've always wondered where it came from. :S

Oh well you see.. it was just an animated raindrop, just chilling out, when all of a sudden, it got struck by lightning!

Such is the story of Rotom.

Bear in mind of course that the regions depicted in Pokemon have thus far been areas of Japan and its surrounding islands...
Pokemon has got to be the most inconsistent work of fiction ever.

Xenart October 23rd, 2008 1:54 PM

I'd say Unown and Mew are the most mysterious pokemon.

Azonic October 23rd, 2008 2:39 PM

Nintendo has always labeled Mew as the most mysterious Pokemon of all, but it never strikes me as mysterious anymore. The anime shows have released so much information about Mew already, and we know a lot about it. It was our ancestor, it dwells in the Tree of Beginnings, it contains all the DNA of every Pokemon, etc. What Pokemon really strikes me as mysterious is Darkrai. Well, we all know it induces deep sleep and nightmares that the victim can't awake himself from, nor can he be awakened from someone else. I mean, Darkrai does appear to have only good intentions in the Dialga / Palkia movie. But my only question is, why does Darkrai give out nightmares? The child in the motel in Canalave City was obviously an innocent victim that Darkrai only chose to terrify without a significant reason. He appears to be both the good guy and the bad guy.

Another Pokemon that definitely deserves to get a mention in this thread is the Unown. I mean, not many people know the true story behind the Unown. Even just the very concept of the Unown can be quite interesting and mysterious to think about. I mean, they are Pokemon based on the alphabet of the English language. Their concept is so diverse; they can paint pictures, make sentences and words, and a lot more things. And to think that there are so many of them, each representing one of the alphabet's letters. To me, that's what I find quite mysterious. Also, did Mew / Arceus create them too?

What the heck is that?

It's not like what I'm thinking... that's looks like a giant... LOL:pirate:

How about Shedinja? What's inside it's shell? How did it came alive?

suicidesal October 23rd, 2008 5:55 PM

Before reading this I was thinking like Ghost pokemon - need the silph scope to see them, sometimes. And ghost's are kinda creepy and mysterious in general...
but now that I've read posts, I think Mew is pretty mysterious

Bear in mind that Nintendo doesn't make the movies, only the video games. They sell the movie rights and have no say-so in what goes into it. Nintendo meant for Darkrai to be the bad guy, as he is in the games. But the movie producers needed a good guy, so goodbye mean and evil Darkrai and hello good Darkrai, keeper of peace who gives out nightmares. Fantastic idea..

dialgaX149 October 24th, 2008 2:16 AM

I think ALL the Pokemon are mysterious, like "Where did they come from?", "What are they?", "When did they arrive?", "Who ate my cookie?". ...Well, maybe not the last one, but you get the point.

coolcatkim22 October 24th, 2008 4:44 AM

I'm surprised no one said ditto.
I mean it's a pink blob hat can transform into any pokemon and can breed with almost any Pokemon meaning it can change it's gender 0_0.
I've always wondered how this Pokemon came into existence.

jammi567 October 24th, 2008 5:04 AM

What came first: Mew or Arceus? They're both claimed to have created Pokemon...

Please don't start these again...
You might change the topic of the OP...

IMHO, it would be the Electric-Ghost Rotom and its other forms.

Mitchman October 24th, 2008 5:37 AM

Uh that red eyed thing in the 2nd hoenn teme. You know that thing inbetween the 2 buildings. Aha i have vid
super wierd thing at 27-28 seconds
That there has never been revealed to be a human or pokemon but looks like a pokemon. Could that by a mysterious hint to generation 5?!

Serrah October 24th, 2008 6:41 AM

I mostly agree with most people....Unknown, we know nothing what they do...they're just letters who introduced the move "hidden power" They live up to their name.... "Unknown"

Graceful October 24th, 2008 7:44 AM

I'll have to be Lugia,Mew,Entei or the unown
Ditto is just wierd!!

Post Office Buddy October 24th, 2008 8:37 AM

I think Magikarp is the most mysterious Pokemon of all. How does something so weak manage to survive for thousands of years? Why hasn't it gained the ability to fend for itself in the wild? We may never know the answer...

Yeah haha, I'd like to know how Ditto were formed. Probably the same type of lab-thing that happened to Grimer, but in a positive way. Grimer was made from radioactive sludge XD. Or at least sludge that when hit by moonlight, created a Pokemon (or something like that, I forget what it was.)

Next I'd say Unown. I mean...it's unknown for a reason. It'd be pretty sweet to see a giant lineage of all Pokemon with their origins and time periods (for the ancient ones).

The bigger question is how something like that evolves into something so big and terrifying and strong?

Mitchman October 24th, 2008 11:10 AM

I think its all the broccoli it eats. And that red eyed thing in 27-28 of that vid i posted. Is it revealed or no? If not then thats it.

Aurafire October 24th, 2008 11:57 AM

I've always thought Mew was the most mysterious...Just because when I was younger I could never find one >.<

NoBel_ToKYo ™ October 24th, 2008 12:06 PM

umm..i'd say mew, cause i'm right old school :P

almost every legendary is mysterious to an extent

1. Because it can survive in all kinds of water and multiplies faster then Azumarills with a sea incense.
2. If you never learn mythology you'll never know.

flareonmaster October 24th, 2008 12:57 PM

I think unown is the most mysterious because they come from anoyher dimension.
But they say all the pokemon come from space so i think they all mysterious =)

Kai Lee Reddtail October 24th, 2008 4:56 PM

Cubone and cloyster are mysterious. Maybe not the most mysterious, but still mysterious.

What does cloyster look like?

What does cubone's face look like? It says it wears the skull of it's dead mother, does that mean every time a cubone is born, it's mother dies and then the baby cubone like... removes his mother's skull? Isn't that kind of creepy?

aaronburnsyou October 24th, 2008 5:33 PM

I'd say Smeargle is quite mysterious. Sure, it looks like an ordinary artist dog to the untrained eye, but it contains endless abilities and powers in just the tip of its tail.

Saltare. October 24th, 2008 5:33 PM

For some reason, Ho-Oh. Cause like, in the very first ep, Ho-OH was there. And they haven;t talked bout him much in anime in my opinion

I Laugh at your Misfortune! October 25th, 2008 4:02 AM

i reckon seviper and zangoose. Why eexaactly do they hate each other so much?

Pikazard October 25th, 2008 4:30 AM

unknown,cubone,marowack and mew don't ask why

Mew is somehow the ancestor of Pokemon, it didn't create any.
So really, Arceus created Mew (presumably many Mews), which evolved into many different forms to cope with varying environments.

You might not agree with me but this does patch up the lack of consistency in the Pokemon canon.

That was Mewtwo. Mewtwo wearing a long, black coat for some reason.

[strike]I would say the most mysterious Pokemon would have to be...Heatran, perhaps? It hasn't even been mentioned in the anime.[/strike]

Wait, no!! Cubone!! I mean, what da heck happened to it's mother?!! I would hate to be a girl Cubone...or is it Marowak that has the...err, egg?

RYOUKI November 2nd, 2008 12:41 AM

Giratina, and almost all of the ghost Pokemon. Did they die? Or live as a Pokemon before?
