1st Gen Withheld's theories: Pokemon world is an Inception type dream

    To make things clear, this theory regards the game only and it does
    not have anything to do neither with my theory about the anime
    world being the afterlife nor with the popular 'Ashes coma' theory.
    For those who haven't watched the movie Inception, there is a
    machine that induces dreams. In those dreams, the mind perceives
    the passage of time differently and, depending on how deep the
    sleep is, one can live a dream that lasts months or years while
    sleeping only for a few hours in real time.
    Now think of the pokemon game. The main character (let's call him
    Red) does stuff that should logically take months or years. How
    long does it take for one to finish a game? Like 20 hours? Yet, when
    you win the pokemon league, Prof Oak acts like it's been a long
    time, being like ''Red, you've grown so much since you left Pallet'.
    It would make no sense for him to say that if it hadn't even been
    one full day (24 hours) since Red left Pallet.
    So, here is my explanation. Red is in an Inception type dream. Maybe
    he took place in a scientific experiment or maybe someone tricked
    him into this induced dream. Alas, all that stuff that happens during
    a game (from the moment Red stops playing the NES till the moment
    he beats his rival at Indigo Plateau) takes months or years from Red's
    perspective. What we see in the game time meter is the time passing
    in real life in the meantime.
    This also explains why, during his whole journey, Red deosn't have to
    eat, rest, bath, change clothes etc, why most people around him act
    like robots (walking in circles indefinitely and always saying the same
    stuff no matter how many times you talk to them) etc
    Hell pokemon don't even have to be a thing in Red's real life. Maybe
    all those monsters are only in his imagination. Maybe, before falling
    asleep, he saw an animal or the picture of a monster drawing and
    that caused him to dream a whole world with imaginary creatures.
