Not true about the Mew being made 2 weeks before the game's release. Mew was one of the first Pokemon, it was originally made for another Nintendo game and had a license on Mew 2 years before Pokemon was even put into production . Gengar derives from DoppleGanger. Or double/ shadow.
The game creators themselves agreed that only the person who programmed Mew knew about it's existence.
In Iwata Asks Sugimori said that Rhydon was the first Pokemon designed, and if we look in the game code we can find ID's for Pokemon where Rhydon is placed first, which suggest that the ID list shows th worded if how the Pokemon were designed. Sugimori also said that most of the early Pokemon designed were Dinosaur-like, which stays true to the ID list too. This is also why you'd see all those Rhydon statues scattered across the Pokemon League.
Man, where do you guys find out all this information? Is there a site devoted to it or is this just common knowledge? lol
Bulbapedia has a lot of trivia on some pages. Pokemon and moves ID numbers. (This was useful when I was making AR codes for BW, lol) The trivia for Rhydon etc can be found on their respective pages.
The one that Taco posted was really cool, and Gary, Oak, and Bill being apart of Team Rocket is pretty interesting one that was posted by Emac. I don't know too many, but I developed one myself. I believe that Silver = Mars, well they're related. Mars has many ores, and when deposits are made, silver is found inside of some of the liquid that is produced. I thought it was cool, plus they have the same kinda hair. And then Silver is probably Giovanni's son because of how much he wants to win no matter the cost, but for a long time I had a theory of Giovanni being ash's father, because he's a powerful man and please tell me that he wouldn't tear up Ash's mom? I would. Kabutops = Genesect w\out steel. That be all.
This was shown in the HGSS Celebi event (and before that in the manga) The rest of your post is crazy talk though!
Nidorino, along with Gengar, originate from the old manga, Capsule Monsters, which is considered the ancestor to the Pokémon franchise. Proof of that is that in both the anime, the games they can be seen battling each other.
I dunno, I like the theory that Professor Oak is Ash's father. Delia and Oak sure do hang out a lot. Frequently when Ash calls, they're usually with each other. I listened to an audio clip of the "original Lavender Town theme". It did give me a headache, but I'm pretty sure that was just a placebo effect.
Yeah, haha. Probably a placebo effect though, like I said. Especially since who knows if it was even any different from the "fixed" theme?
LONG linking conspiracy theory So, I have a complex and flawed, but interesting theory to propose. It involves four pokemon evolution lines. Shellder, Ghastly, Spoink, and Slowpoke. Now let's start at the the beginning with shellder. Shellder is a baby muscle Pokemon, in which it's hard shell is shown as well as its eyes. And nothing else. Meaning at this point in time, anything could be inside Shellder's shell. At some point in it's lifetime, Shellder's produces a pearl, making it the center of it's body, and it's shell unfolds, evolving into cloyster. Now, going off the basis that at some point in time, all Pokemon must die, Cloyster eventually dies and starts to wither away. Now here's where it get's complicated. From here on out let's suppose that Cloyster's decaying body gets separated into three parts. It's shell, it's pearl and it's spirit. Let's start out with the easiest of three timelines, it's pearl. After having fallen out of it's shell, and having it's spirit abandon it, Cloyster's pearl remains dormant for a long time. Until, that is, it is given to a wandering baby spoink as a keepsake it will keep until it evolves. (On a side note, I think it's possible that Grumpig gets it's psychic abilities from the pearl crystallizing and absorbing into it's head during evolution, but I think that's pushing it a little.) The second timeline has to do with Slowpoke. Have you ever questioned the generic answer that the Pokemon on the end of Slowbro's tail that makes it evolve is a Shellder? That doesn't really quite seem right. Well, what if it was actually the decaying shell of a cloyster that latched onto the tail of a slowpoke during evolution. I personally see that as a more plausible answer. And lastly, the spirit of a Cloyster. On the first page of this forum, someone briefly pointed out that Cloyster's pearl looks a lot like a Ghastly. Well, what if after dying, the spirit inhabiting Cloyster's pearl, (Ghastly, as shown by similar appearance) was forced to roam the Pokemon world, until the rest of it's body parts were returned, and it could rest in peace. Until such a feat could be accomplished, Cloyster's spirit would have to adapt by not only becoming scarier, but by becoming more real and humanoid as well as tangeable. Seeing as the evolutionary line for Ghastly tends to follow adaption rather than big changes, and the matter of fact that haunter is a Pokemon made to scare people, while Ghastly adapted a humanoid shape and an enormous weight increase to that of a human child, (going from haunter's weight of 0.02 lbs to 87.5 lbs) I think it's more than possible that this theory could be canon. Also, for those of you who believe in the whole, 'Gengar is Cleffable's shadow' thing, it's possible that Cloyster's spirit, (or Ghastly, take your pick) could have tried to mimick Cleffable as a means of becoming ore realistic. Also, Gengar has been noted to possibly come from the word 'Doppleganger' supporting either of these theories. Anyway, this was huge. So yeah. Mind Blown. Also, I totally realize this is mostly just speculation, but that's what makes a theory a theory.
I've actually tested it. It works. Partially. The DS can NOT understand WHAT you say. However the more noise it can detect the higher the chances. I tested it a while back.
I like this. Kanghaskan is born with a child, meaning it is actually connected, not an other pokemon. Also, imagine trying to carry a kanghaskan sized egg. But what if arceus made two kanghaskans? And they bred, had children, kept said children in their pouch and when the grew old bred with them? So kanghaskan spread like so. Then game freak removed the male ones, leaving them to breed with dittos. And khanghaskan was started to be hunted, leaving the small child they would then breed with motherless. So hence became cubone, and why they are more common than khanghaskan. When marowak evolves the skull forms into its head. Now, missingno. What if missingno was a lon baby khanghaskan, and if male took bones from dead mother, only accessed in wild. So you find either cubone or missingno, but as the baby. They decided against this, removed missingno, but it had to go somewhere, hence its existence. If the baby was female it would become khanghaskan. Then made marowak a evolution, not split evo. When split maybe male marowak -> male khanghaskan. So female cubone didnt exsist, and Female khanghaskan s did. khanghaskans could breed with themselves. That's my theory but it has holes.
Same with Electric type attacks being non-effective against Rock types, since the anime wrongfully said so, and most of the Rock types in Gen 1 were also ground types.
First thing I ever noticed about gen V was that Sigilyph looks like a mix of Unown and Dusknoir .-. Speaking of Gen V pokes based on other pokes, Gothitelle=Marley??? (My avatar) I think someone mentioned that the gym leaders from B/W 1 in Striation (The 3 elemental dudes) might be the shadow triad, but in an event in B/W2, you can see them in a flashback talking to the shadow triad. It's a shame tho, I've always liked that theory. Some of the gen IV pokes where already planned when gen IV's R/S/E was released, which you can see in the Anime, where May has a Munchlax, and in the PMD series, where you can get Lucario/Bonsly statues, and Alakazam is sometimes talking about the Super Explorer Lucario. Sounds nice <3 It's not true, but I laughed :3 http://www.funnyjunk.com/funny_gifs/1097709/pokemon/ Hmmmm. To me, they like like the same pokemon. Tiny black ball. 2 faces hidden, the other one is... well, dead! More to be posted when I remember ^^

No, originally, the baby in Kangaskhan's pouch was supposed to be its pre-evo. The removal at the last minute causes the glitch of MissingNo
it didn't, they've proved otherwise. I can't remember what it really was, but Nintendo revealed what the glitch was some years ago :)
I'm not sure that this counts as a myth or not but here goes - Broly(Gym leader of Dewford city in Pokemon R/S/E)and Crasher Wake(Gym leader of Pastoria city in Pokemon D/P/PL have supposedly switched gyms.... Crasher Wake is a wrestler but he has a water-type gym,strange don't you think?And Broly who lives right next to the sea and tells us something about a rough ocean when we challenge him has a fighting type gym?It just doesn't make sense,so I came up with the theory that they have switched gyms.:p
Holy crap!is this true story? This scared the hell out of me bro U think its a good idea to try the game out?
It's a creepypasta (ie not true) play the game if you want to see Pokemon's humble beginnings I would recommend it.
No no no! You got it all wrong.silver,mars,or maybe roark are brothers and sister.their parents are giovanni+ariana. This maybe true because roark's dad in canalave is just his step dad.maybe the three of them got separated when they were just kids
How you can tell the information in the url fake Aside from the fact that in 1996 they could not have possibly had the kind of technology required to make the end of the story true, there are a few other dead give aways. The story actually made a believer out of me, right up until the interview with Mr. Sousuke. The easiest way to determine the illegitimacy of the story is the excruciating detail. If it was true, how did someone determine exactly what happened to the detective in the end? It was an interesting read though, well worth the time. Thank for turning me onto it.
