Hmm, now what if...?

we'd have MUCH less tiktokers probably

what if games had 12 gyms instead of 8?

Cue people whining that the games are too long...and we probably wouldn't have any postgame, either.

What if the games were translated directly from the Japanese versions through Google Translate?

pokemon vietnamese crystal wouldn't be as funny sadly

what if pokemon could learn more than 4 moves?

Nintendo would sell a separate, $200 screen to be able to see the extra moves.

What if Jigglypuff was a horrible singer?

the listener's ability would turn into Insomnia instead

what if a human drank a Potion?

Their health would go up but they would spend the rest of their life being paranoid about a bad side effect kicking in

What if N used his mind to make origami instead of forming team plasma?

Team Trees would've been a thing way before Mr. Beast did it.

what if Gulpin was a legendary?

Then it would make a pretty insane legendary. What would it's legendary power be, eating everything that's a gazillion times bigger than it? Would Swalot simply never have existed?

What if they remade Hey you Pikachu, but with LGPE mechanics, and have the the title Hey You Pikachu Eevee, hence having the initials of...

nah it'd be named "Pikachu & Eevee's Radical Ventures!" yeah you get it.

what if Double Team raised your evasiveness by 2 stages instead of just one?

There would be a lot of broken game consoles.

What if there were no such thing as shiny pokemon?

there's be way more pokerus hunting streamers

what if the concept of pokemon trading never existed?

We probably would have less problems with hackers, tbh

What if clefairy was Pokemon's mascot instead of pikachu?

Ash would've probably won the Pokemon League sooner

what if Pokeballs were blue?

We would have red balls called pyro balls for catching fire types

What if pokeballs were pink?

Pokemon wouldn't have caught on with the edgy boys in the 90s.

What if you could Surf on lava?

We would probably have a fire type version of surf and the pokemon games would be even less realistic than they already are.

What if shiny colors were randomly generated for every single individual shiny pokemon?

"RAREST SHINY EVER 0.0001% COLOR PATTERN" type videos would litter youtube

What if Fairy type was introduced earlier, like in Gen 4?

The gen 4 ghost gym leader might have been fairy instead! Imagine if drifloon was type swapped as fairy...

What if missingno never existed?

the Pokemon creepypasta community probably would've never been formed :c

what if Meltan had been available in Gen 5?

I feel that we wouldn't have gotten a gigantamax for it

What if there were no such things as pokeballs?
