A startling revelation

[Nexev]

So I was just chillin with my rad self like usual and you know what I realized, their allot of catching animal games out.

I was like whoa, I mean, way to start a genre.

But you know whats funny? What do the pokemon get in return?

I believe I have a theory on that.

Pokemon are very aggresive beings, fighting is within their nature as they get skill and actual physical growth really fast.

I mean You have a little red guy who has his tail on fire, he kills a rat. BOOM!

He's a dragon.

That's sooo crazy and radical my mans.

So obviously the pokemon world is probbaly like Da Hood. Lots of violence and fighting.

But no one seems to die. Course there is a graveyard but when has a pokemon eaten another pokemon? Very rarely.

Assuming there is actual animals in the pokeverse, but we are too busy eating them to notice.

That or we are all vegetarians.

So the pokemon have a very clever and violent way to force self evolution. They constantly fight and leave prey alive so that they can fight it later.

As such when they meet a human they attack, even though we have such massive balls. Because they are trying to practice on us.

When a pokemon is captured it accepts you as a superior and forms a minor symbiosis, it fights for you and you in turn provides it fights.

I assume that if you actual went inside a pokemon box you will find it stained in blood.

This is why pokemon can disobey you, if they grow to strong they will assume that you are infact inferior.

Likely because you are infact inferior.

I mean, can YOU breathe fire?

I can, but that's cause my Blaziken would keep holding it over me until I learned how to. DX


So when you have a badge, it isn't magical, it is just recognized by the pokemon world (Since pokemon are in fact quite intelligent) to be a sign of your competence among the pokemon world. If anyone can fight a strong pokemon it would be the guy with the earth badge right? So by having it you are guaranteeing the pokemon you wield the oppurtunity to rip a new one into some of the strongest fighters in the world.


Pokemon sure is scary isn't it. O:

Discuss your own theories on how pokemon works.

I have to admit, I like your theory on pokemon.
And to be honest, I think I can agree to it. (Y)

 

[Sollux Captor]

Mind=Blown.

But honestly, awesome theory. It's actually realistic, although you didn't really explain Lavender Town and Mount Pyre and the likes well enough, it's still interesting. I can somewhat agree with it bro.

 

[Aquacorde]

I can agree with some of this though it could have been worded better, although Pokemon deaths are not really explained.

 

[Nexev]

Natural causes.

Pokemon can die from those.

Ampharos was so sick that Jasmine couldn't leave the lighthouse in order to tend to the thing right?

Obviously the diesease was very deadly. Enough to be fatal even, that is atleast the assumption of the game attempts to give you.

But we are talking about an ecosystem where pokemon can repair wounds and cure themselves of poisons, burns, and lagging muscles thought the use of a few berries.


So obviously pokemon are a very hard target to kill, they are too adapted for survival in wild for one to kill another without a big level gap, a gap that would be unconventianally large for leveling, especially when you consider how most pokemon seem to be in large groups.

But this hardly means pokemon are immortal. I swear to god I think a few pokemon even died in the anime.

Lavitar's mother for example.

Pokemon can die, but they only seem to be killed by disease, hunger, or human intervention. Pokemon are safe enough to let kids fight, if a pokemon fought to kill this assumption would be ludicrous.

You'd get eaten alive each time your party got wiped.

 

[Sollux Captor]

Decent explanation. That makes up for your lacking point in the theory. Well, in my point of view at least.

Care to come up with a theory that has to do with the origin of Pokemon or whatever? I'm interested to see with what you'd come up with.

 

[Nexev]

I'm pretty sure it boils down to a japense guy being like: "You know what kids like?

Electric mouses that can kill people."

Then he puked on his secretary cause that guy was soooooo drunk you have no idea.

....

Oh wait, you mean the creation myth, sure.

 

[PlatinumDude]

That's an...interesting theory you got there. I don't know how to explain it, but I agree with a few aspects of it.

 

[miltankRancher]

I agree in your theories, and rather, most made point. Espeially the one with the badges and the trainers being "infact inferior." Yes, if pokemon could recognize badges, then they would see that any person wielding the Earth, Rising, Rain, or Beacon, and the badge from Iris and Shaga would be competitive enough, and they would be subdued. But when it is only the Boulder, or Zephyr, or Stone, or Cobble, then the trainer would be "infact inferior." Nice theories.

 

[Fever]

I dont know whether it has slipped everyones mind or not, but if I recall the only "dead" pokemon from any generation that I can think of, is the Marowak/Ghost of the cubones dead mother, that stops you before you can go upstairs in Pokemon Tower in gen 1.
After you defeat it, it goes on to say that it can now be at peace and whatnot.

Pokemon can die theory = 100% proved.
