Thread: Dumbest. Things. Ever.

I have no idea where to put this thread, so move it if necessary.


What are some of the strangest fan theories you've ever heard?

I once heard of something that insists that Dragonair was intended to evolve into Gyarados, and Magikarp was supposed to evolve into Dragonite. I see no similarity besides the colors, and the types make no sense.


Anything else?

Ash's father is Ho-Oh according to some fan-theories.

My, my...

While I was still a kid, my friend insisted that Ash's Pikachu died after fighting in the first Pokemon League in the anime.

"Pi... Ka... Chu." *dies*
"NOOOOOO-"

Mew under the truck could be plausible and isn't dumb at all. But Mew DRIVING that truck is.

The idea that Butterfree was Venonat's original evolved form... I can't even begin to describe the contempt I feel for it.

*giggles* Mew drives a truck?

Anyway, Gengar is not Clefairy's shadow. Granted, they do look somewhat similar, but Gengar has two prevos which completely ruin this theory. But I suppose if they were both one stage Pokémon this would be plausible.

Talking to Professor Oak in his lab for 100/500/1000/any number of times forces him to give you a Pikablu.

YOU EVIL BASTARD, YOU KILLED YOUR RIVAL'S RATICATE. BURN IN HELL.
If I see that stupid paragraph "explaining" that you killed Blue's Raticate that somebody copy-pastes every time a discussion about it crops up one more time, I will explode.

Why? Look at the two of them, the similarities are undeniable. They look more like evolutionary relatives than Mareep and Flaaffy.

I don't know about that, but the game does seem to suggest that the Raticate died. I mean, think about it. After he uses Raticate against you for the final time, your next battle is in Pokemon Tower, a Pokemon cemetery. Plus, he says he just caught a Cubone, but he doesn't use one... ever. And he only has five Pokemon on hand during the battle, so it's not like he could have sent it to the PC. Plus, he gives you the Cubone excuse even if you fight him before getting the Silph Scope, in which case any Cubone in the tower would be unidentifiable and uncatchable.

The famous Ash in a coma theory although I don't really know much about it.

I do think it's possible that Raticate died, but I didn't see anything in the game that suggested that Red was responsible for its death.

Every time a new Pokemon game comes out, I hear everywhere that it's the last one ever.

EVERY. TIME.
