Hmm, now what if...?

[Ace Trainer 188]

Then he would get a lot of hate.

What if Ash never existed?

 

[Master of Memes]

Then pikachu would'nt be a mascot
What if Exploud became a politician?

 

[Xerslash]

No one would want to argue with him because he is too loud.

What if shinies weren't obtainable in the game but instead should be bought and transferred to the game? (I hope you know what this means. Ugh the grammar.)

 

[Master of Memes]

Then we could not get a shiny kalos Poke'mon
What if Diancie joined the X-Men?

 

[Meadow]

We would probably discover more hidden powers of Diancie!

What if Staraptor got a haircut?

 

[Ace Trainer 188]

Then he'd be too similar to his pre evos.

What if Nintendo saw Nuzlockes and made them canon?

 

[Meadow]

Pokémon games would be a lot more difficult like never before!

What if Gary Oak had a grandson?

 

[Ace Trainer 188]

Then he would also forget his name.

What if Mewtwo's megas were real?

 

[CJoE]

Then I would faint and fell on the floor.
What if Ash got a secret girlfriend other than all his girl companions? ♥

 

[Meadow]

Then that secret girlfriend would have been Serena before X/Y existed! :D *shot*

What if no Pokémon could evolve at all?

 

[Otamajakushi]

Then we'd have the most adorable playthoughs forever!

What if there was a new generation where all of the Pokemon had a common type, such a Dragon or Dark?

 

[Lycanthropy]

They would definitely pick dragon. That speeds up the battles nicely!

What if HMs didn't exist?

 

[Otamajakushi]

I wouldn't mind them being secondary abilities for Pokemon, such as surfing, strength, and fly could be things a Pokemon can naturally do.

What if you got to pick a custom starter (within reason) at the start of a game?

 

[Ace Trainer 188]

Then people would have more diverse favourites.

What if Pikachu wasn't the mascot of the game?

 

[Otamajakushi]

Then there might be more variety in mascots and the franchise would be less successful. Marketing.

What if Pokemon like Mew and other mythical Pokemon weren't purposely made as rare as they are?

 

[Meadow]

Maybe they would no longer be sought after as much!

What if Pokémon originated in America instead of Japan?

 

[Ace Trainer 188]

Then we would get the english versions of the game first, so the series would be more popular.

What if ORAS has no post story?

 

[Meadow]

People probably wouldn't like it as much as X/Y in that case!

What if Pikachu was pink instead of yellow?

 

[Lycanthropy]

Pinkachu! Pinkémon would be a real! c:

What if Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon weren't announced a few days ago?

 

[ジュナイパー]

Then an angry mob would've gathered a GameFreak HQ due to there being no important news in the direct.

What if Barbaracle got a Mega Evolution?
