Curiosity on the Original Dragon and Kyurem

Hello, Just a big pokemon fan but was not actively following from Gen 6 onwards. I started to get back on, ( watching some of the newer episodes, and playing the new games) and then I remembered about Kyurem and how cool it looked. I was just curious, where do you guys think Kyurem lands in comprarison of strength of legendaries and mythical pokemon upto the current generation?

I Heard a bit about the Original Dragon and wanted to hear the perspective of people in this subreddit, as in, how it compares now in terms of power to the other other legends upto the current generation and if theres any news or update of the original dragon showing up in any future pokemon games.

Why exactly is Gengar a Poison type?

I was at Target one day and saw a passing cart with a Pokemon product featuring Gengar and Toxitricity. This was a rare instance of Gengar being treated as a Poison type, as most merchandise portrays it as a Ghost type more than it is a Poison type, which is strange considering that more recent TCG cards have featured Gengar as a Dark type due to Poison types being reclassified as Dark types in the TCG, even having the weakness to Fighting types to show it.

The choice to make Gengar a Poison type is also strange because it's learn set has historically been lacking in Poison types. Back in the first 2 games, the only Poison move it knew was Toxic, before the amount of Poison type moves went up slowly with each passing game. For reference, Gengar can learn 11 Ghost type moves in Legends Z-A, while only being able to learn 7 Poison type moves. In FRLG, it could learn 10 Ghost type moves and learn a measly 2 Poison type moves in Toxic and Sludge Bomb. You could teach it more Psychic and Fighting type moves than that.

I'm also aware that Gengar was on the very first sprite sheet back when Tajiri and Sugimori were first working on Pokémon. It's even the got the hexadecimal number of 0E, which is higher than every starter Pokémon other than Ivysaur, all 4 Legendaries, and even Pikachu itself. They also didn't conceive the idea of types until later on, with Poison types making up roughly 1/5 of the original 151 (33 Poison Mon total) although Gengar was conceived before Gastly, meaning that the gaseous aspect wasn't taken into account yet. What motivated Tajiri, Sugimori, and the others to make Gengar a Poison type?

The Galar Heroes transformed.

when I came up with this one I had assumed it was already kind of implied in the games if so if you agreee consider this more of a deep read between the lines.

I firmly believe that the two human heroes in the tale of the original darkest day didn't just summon Zacian and Zamazenta they became them. They somehow imbued their sword and shield with Eternatus' power to use against it but had to become Pokémon to use that power.

Here are our clues:

#1 If (z&z) already existed at the point of the 1st darkest day there would be no need for human intervention in the first place they could have just stopped it and the legends would only refer to them.

#2 At the point of the game where you fight Eternatus you're Pokémons' moves don't work just like when you face (z&z) and only start having some effect when (z&z) show up and really their moves are the only thing that can make significant impact.

#3 the two heroes kind of mysteriously dissappear "sail off" and all of their statues and history gets shrouded and buried some depictions shoe only humans some with the beasts and some just (z&z) alone. Yes we meet their descendants later but that doesn't mean their exactly direct descendants my sister's kids could count as descendants.

#4 any other Pokémon that wields a weapon or tool like that carries it in their hand if (z&z) where naturally occurring they wouldn't have likely evolved to carry a sword or shield in their teeth.

In conclusion, I believe two humans attempted to stop the darkest day when they where unsuccessful they imbued their weapons with wishing stars in another attempt to harnes that same power, but humans can't wield Pokémon powers so by either devine intervention or their own self sacrifice they transformed into the legendary Pokémon and won. Unfortunately they where unable to transform back to humans. Unable to return home as beasts they retired to the Slumbering Weild waiting for the day they'd be needed again. After hundreds of years legend and myth get intertwined families stop talking about the two relatives that became dogs and there you go.

Oleana is autistic

Out of all Pokemon characters, I think Oleana is the one who has the most likely chance of being autistic. Canonically, it's unspecified. But she fits many traits to a T.

Taking her Twilight Wings episode as the main source of reference:

  • Stoic expression and limited nonverbal expressiveness
  • Issues socializing with others
  • Struggles understanding and maintaining relationships
  • Rigid routines
  • Intense specific interest (science)
  • Infodumps about a specific interest (namely, Pokemon biology and science)

Guzzlord’s mouth isn't a biological stomach or a black hole, it's an active, open Ultra Wormhole. Think about it, the Pokédex explicitly states that despite devouring entire mountains and buildings, Guzzlord produces absolutely no droppings. It’s being teleported across dimensions. This completely changes the tragedy of the untrained female Faller from 10 years ago. When Looker froze and Guzzlord 'consumed' her, it didn't end her life. She was actually pulled directly through the wormhole inside its jaws and safely deposited onto a completely different, peaceful parallel world in the multiverse. Looker and Nanu assumed the worst because they didn't understand Ultra Space science yet, but she’s actually out there right now, alive, whole, and safe in an unknown timeline.
