^To me, Banette is even scarier: a living doll holding a grudge on the unknown child who abandoned it.
So when exactly did Pokemon become a horror franchise?

Haha, it always was! Some Pokedex entries have always been horror like, from generation 1. Those of Paras and Parasect, and Alakazam, for instance... I've seen plenty of cool videos of that. Gotta admit, I never really thought of it until it was pointed out in those.... I like it of course, as horror is my favorite genre.

^Um...isn't that a bit too much nightmare fuel? 8O Yikes.
I think I'll stick to Gardevoir and Gallade cosplay.

Not for me, I find it entertaining, but then again I don't mind a bit of darkness like that.

Are you interested in Pokemon theories and mysteries? Do you watch those kinds of Pokemon videos on YouTube? I do, as i find them very entertaining and interesting. It's fun to see what other fans speculate about in regards to my favorite fictional world.

Two of my favorites are the Kanto war theory and the one about Gary’s Ratata.
One of the first I heard and also one that is fascinating as it shows darker sides to the world of Pokemon is the Kanto war theory. It goes as follows:
Quote:
You have no father, and your best friend is an orphan.

Children are going on journies around the world.

Your mother accepts you as the man on the house, making your own decisions.

Old man warns you of dangers around the corner.

Most people you meet are children and/ or gym leaders.

Most adult men are either very old, or have a job related to the military or organized crime.

Hospitals and gyms are everywhere, but no forms of entertainment such as movie theaters.

LT. Surge:

"Hey kid! What do you think your doing here? You won't live long in combat!

That's for sure! I tell you what kid, electric Pokemon saved me during the war!"

You now realize that there was a war in Kanto.

Your father died, and your rival lost his parents.

You are amongst the first generation of people to live in peace at post-war time


Another good one and very sad, is the one about Gary’s Ratata, that says his Ratata died after the battle onboard SS Anne. In the Pokepasta Poor rival the loss of his Ratata is one of several things the main character put him through.
Quote:
In the original Pokémon Red/Blue, when you encounter your rival in Lavender Town, he asks whether or not you know what it's like to have one of your Pokémon die. At this point in the game, he no longer has his Raticate that he used in previous battles. Your rival battle before this took place aboard the S.S. Anne. Your rival's Raticate sustained serious injuries from the battle…but, because of crowding and confusion on the luxury liner, he was unable to make it to a Pokémon Center in time and the Raticate passed away. The real reason your rival is in Lavender Town to begin with is to lay his deceased friend to rest.
Despite all of this, your rival never outwardly tells you that you're responsible for the death of his Pokémon. He hides his grief and instead channels that energy into the motivation he needed to continue his quest to become Indigo League Champion. The death of his Raticate effectively destroys your rival's impish, childhood innocence. Although he tells himself that he doesn't hold you responsible, he subconsciously holds a great deal of resentment towards you which further fuels his ambitions.
Tearfully swearing upon his Raticate's grave to not fail in what he set out to do, he trains hard in hopes of becoming better than you…defeating you…and to eventually make it to the Pokémon League. Mere moments after he became Indigo League champion, he was defeated…by you. Although he fulfilled his promise to his fallen Pokémon, it was only for a painfully brief instant.
In the end, your rival is scolded by his grandfather while you receive the professor's praise. During the course of the game, you steal your rival's innocence, crush his dreams, and ultimately snatch away the love of his own grandfather. Oh, and by the way, your rival doesn't have any parents. He's an orphan.


Another interesting theory deals with origin of Raiko, Entei and Suicune, saying they are eeveelutions.


There are so many more as well, but I don’t wanna create a text wall!

What is your favorite theory?

Hmm...I like the mysterious places, like the Old Chateau, the Distortion World, the Sinnoh Lakes, underwater places...The Honest Trailer theories about the mechanics of the Pokemon world are intriguing.

I think they did trailers for the older movies better.

I've never really thought of that.


I have to say, I find the final types of some of the new starters perplexing.
Popplio is fine, and it makes sense that its final evolution is water/fairy.

It makes sense for me that Litten and Torracat are fire and that it could be either fire/poison or fire/dark, as Incineroar indeed is. But why does Incineroar look like a wrestler when it's not fire/fighting?

And how come Rowlet and Dartrix are Grass/flying, and then evolves into Decidueye, which is Grass/ghost? I really like that we have a starter that evolves to be a ghost, but it's so strange that it loses flying to become ghost.

^Maybe it evolves into a mysterious forest spirit; Decidueye really reminds me of the spirits in Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke.

Decidueye has always made me think of Robin Hood.

Apparently these are the moves they will learn. Obviously don't watch if you don't wanna know.
