Oooh
>>59013105That's gonna be in Winds and Waves, isn't it.
I for one welcome our new Yellos overlords
The racism between the two types of Shellos just got more intense
The humans were also planning to store all the Pokemon in cyberspace while they flee to space
>>59013142>CyberspaceWe Digimon now?
>>59013142Pokemon-aren't-digitizedfags BTFO
>>59013142Shrinksisters...
>>59013142This kind of take on a story is actually insane for Game Freak standards, let alone on a spin off game
>>59013105CMYK Shellos, cool. Or probably it's a joke on Red, Blue, Yellow versions of Shellos.
>>59013142What? You can't just post something like this without context! WTF happened to force humans to literally leave the planet?!
>>59013272All this means is the game was made by retards that don't even understand the series lore
>>59013388You LOST.
>>59013299shrinking is still canon... capturing via pokeball and sending to the PC utilize two completely different mechanisms...
>>59013371the rage wars
>>59013371Natural disasters caused humans to run low on food and other resources, so they had to leave to the planet to survive
>>59013371Team Rocket fucked the world up biosphere allegedly and we got a preview of it in USUM. Its not all doom and gloom considering the world can still be restored.
Team Rocket were just low level thugs who stole Pokemon and shit stop making them world threatening villains or whatever, it doesn't make them cool it does the opposite
>>59013454They probably did it for KAAAANTOOO points really, seeing how the weather-changing villain teams were RIGHT THERE. That or they're making Team Rocket Saturday Morning Cartoon villains with over the top schemes and this one just happened to actually work.You know, the type of shit Megatron would do.
>>59013272I don't know who ever argued that. We know they were digitized so they could be transferred by a the box system.They also shrink to be caught in the first place.Both have been the way it worked since Gen 1.
>>59013142Maybe the twist is that the game world is that cyberspace
>>59013507Where do I get Megatronite to mega evolve Tron?
Whn ds ts sh unlock
>>59013546Sentinel has it.
>>59013393I didn't lose, if their digitized it doesn't even make sense why they couldn't just take the pokemon with themBy their own rules it makes no sense
>>59013627Your question doesn't even make sense because under that context what's to stop you from bringing 8 Pokemon with you at once? 10? 20? All of them? Pokemon not being digitized doesn't change this factor.
YELLOW SHELLOS?
>>59013627I imagine they took some that would help them out and stored the rest on the planet in case the Pokemon could not adapt to the new spacy environment. Rather than 'doesn't make sense', they considered multiple possibilities including one that would lead them to do this.
>>59013105>it's happeningI welcome the upcoming North and South forms
>>59013142>the next Pokemon Legends is going to involve bringing pokemom back from cyber space and in to the real world
>>59013142KILL ALL NU-POKEMON SHIT!!
>>59013142So the Pokémon were Xenoblade 3'd while the Humans Wall-e'd?
>>59013105They dex literally says their color and shapes differ from region to region yet 6 regions later and no difference.
>>59013710Kantonians are also canonical retards who literally didn't think to love their Pokemon or conduct field research at night to realize they've had Dark Types in their region until Red became Champion
>>59013740CDeez nuts lmao
>>59013627They're presumably worried that there's no room whatsoever for their galactic travels for the Pokemon, and the environments may not be suitable for their safety and survival until they've made absolutely sure there's a world that's identical to earth.
>>59013142>start of the series>Pokémon are from space>timeline end of the series>humans go to space and stay gowtf
does this apply to all of the pokemon world now in space? how can they even be in space to begin with? just what did team rocket do to fuck up the biosphere without Giovanni?
Let me guess, all this shit about space and there's either zero mention of the Porygon project or they mention they just completely gave up on it, right?
>>59013142How many years into the future are we talking? Less than a hundred?
>>59013740Ironic because this game is the first one to not have a physical version
>>59013634Carrying only 6 pokemon with you at a time is a regulation for licensed trainersIn SV you carry 7 with you, but only 6 at a time are eligible for battle>>59013656But if they're digital they don't need to do this is the pointIts just people that have no idea about the canon of the games writing fan fictionBill explicitly invented a teleportation system and the PC gives you access to it
>>59013797Bill also invented a human/Pokemon fusion machine and a time machine, but his fucking god-like achievements went unrecognized and other people took more prominent credit for similar accomplishments.
>>59013811>time machineOnly canon to the GB timeline, such a thing is never mentioned outside of GSC.>fusion machineHis experience of being fused with a Clefairy actually became noteworthy enough for people in Alola to know about it, which is why Lillie in SM decides she's going to Kanto to see Bill in the event he can help Lusamine recover from the Motherbeast incident.
>>59013821There is no GB timeline. You're thinking of the GSC universal cluster, a set of universes that are quite similar but not quite the same.
>>59013831Semantics. The point is the Time Machine only exists to continuities where the events of Johto played out in the way GSC presents them.
>>59013835But those universes are now referenced by the fact that Kris and GB Red are in Masters, alongside FRLG Red and Ash, the anime's version of Red. All they need is Pokespe's Red and the Redgularity will be complete.
>>59013843>MastersWhich is self-contained with its own unique sphere of universes that have on bearing impact on the rest of the franchise, as no game outside of Masters references Masters.Comparatively, the real world is canonical to mainline Pokemon, as ORAS makes direct mention of the Pokemon World Championships, a real life event, and alludes to it being the ultimate proof of being the greatest trainer of them all.
>>59013850ORAS also references the Mega Evolution Specials, where Steven Stone battled alongside Alain and his Mega Charizard X. Additionally, ORAS also features a map made by Serebii detailing the Pokemon world, meaning Serebii is canon to the Pokemon multi-universal reality system as well.Also, I'd like to point out that in Pokemon the Series: Gold and Silver the Whirl Islands were vast and populous, with an entire family of Lugia living in the islands.
>>59013873However in Pokemon Horizons the Whirl Islands have since shrunk and can no longer support human habitation, identifying either rapid evacuation from a natural disaster or alternate timelines rather than a contiguous chronology.
>>59013272>it's a plan to digitize pokemon, which i'm not sure is possible>which i'm not sure is possible>SEE THEY WERE DIGITIZED THE WHOLE TIME
>trying to make a timeline out of pokemonYou guys are insane.
>>59013899its referring to digitalizing ALL Pokemon, anon. It's already possible on smaller scales.
imagine coming back from space and the only pokemon species that didn't survive is your favourite
>>59013899ALL Pokémon on the planet in a massive computer system, that's why they were not sure if it wasn't possible. Mentions of Pokémon living in cyberspace happened in Core games before, for once, Super Training was described as a virtual space.
>>59013371For some reason, Rose was right.
>>59013906Computer =/= digital
>>59013142>
>>59013912Yeah lemme just whip out my analog computer and crunch the numbersOne moment, gotta rev the engine up on this bad boy
>>59013873ORAS isn't written by the usual writer of the games, so the canon there is slightly dubious and I wouldn't take most of the lore from that game at face value (and even then it never specifically says there's alternate timelines so I dunno where people are getting that). BW and the Gen 7 titles explain just about everything you need to know about the Pokemon multiverse. It's no Let's Go where I cannot even begin to decipher what the fuck it even is.
>>59013928If you actually want to read about that you can do so herehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_computerAll I can think of is this stupid image, it's not even an abacus it's some dipshit chlidren's toy, but when I think of analog computing I always go back to the good old abacus.
>>59013142>Official Pokéworld Post-Apocalypse Theme.https://soundcloud.com/benridgemusic/sheltered-ost-scenario-stasis
if you think about it, Ghetis won.
>>59014057Won a free trip to the Asylum maybe
>>59013993And the truth of the matter is an analog computer is a much better choice for long term post apocalyptic storage because it could function without electricityMechanical energy could keep it running indefinitely
>>59013404so it's Jasmine's fault the entire world is shit right now?She ate all the food and got really fat which causes a global food shortage and apocalypse
>>59013142>"being parted from our Pokémon will be terribly painful"Does that imply humans use guns again?>>59013371What would be the most probable apocalyptic scenarios in Pokémon?
>>59013388
>>59013873>>59013880Jesus fucking Christ, even the environments in nu-pokemon got chibified.
>>59013539100%
>>59013371If you ever saw the movie 2012, it sounds like a similar disaster befall the pokemon world. The weather went to shit everywhere.
>>59013142They fused both plotlines from DQB, didn't they?
>>59013299One of the NPCs during a side quest in Z-A brings up that storing Pokemon into the PC digitizes them as well, shrinking is still canon, but it involves how the pokeballs catch Pokemon, and digitizing them involves how the PC stores Pokemon
Ashnime might not have been canon but didn't they send you the physical pokeballs stored wherever if you needed them? It was never like Ash could access them instantly. In the games the waiting process is skipped for obvious reasons. If not, why would they stay in the same Ball and not get transferred? That would also imply that you always carry all the Balls of your boxed mons instead of having them stored and being sent. I'm not sold on this Digishit
feels very thematically like what happened to guzzlord's world in USUM
>>59013454They absolutely did this because you fags kept sucking them off, and it lead to having to make them a bigger threat then all the other antagonist teams to make them feel more importantAlso Kanto>>59013507Z-A actually confirms that Giovanni was aware of shit going on in Hoenn, meaning he was likely planning to cuck Team Aqua and Magma in the long run anyway
>>59014294>Does that imply humans use guns again?how does that imply humans use guns again, it just means they're sad they're not gonna have their pokemon. I don't really understand why they wouldn't take some pokemon with them into space though.
>>59013388This game is literally made by Game Freak, retard-kun
>>59014783I think it's just a bunch of different factors (the anime and manga made them more high-concept/supervillain-ish, they're the default "evil team" and one of the few to not be in the "we think we're the good guys" camp yet the ones after them raised the stakes way higher).That said, it really should have been Magma and Aqua, their plan already backfires anyway.
>>59013142It's weird they never did a team of hackers that could steal pokemon from PC boxes and edit their stats and moves to make them into boss pokemon
There's also a reference to Giovanni disbanding Team Rocket and Archer bringing it back
>>59014792"parted from our pokemon", "store all pokemon on the planet" and "people and Pokémon will be able to live together again" sound like they've left earth without any pokemon. If that's the case, they won't have their traditional means of protection, hence my comment on guns.
>>59014848I assume the warehouse they're talking about is the location in the Sevii Islands you battle them, which makes this one of the only references to the Sevii Islands in the series in general, even if extremely indirectly
>>59014825The closest you'd get is nearing the climax of BW some Team Plasma members bring up having managed to hack into the PC, but this is more justification to allow you to go into your PC without having to leave the Pokemon League at the end of the main story
>>59014875theres a rocket hideout thing under the lighthouse near where you see that message, might be talking about that especially if its talking about getting sand in it since its under all the sand
>>59013142Everyone you knew is dead.
>>59014897If Pokopia is set in the distant future, they'd all likely be dead regardless
I think this is the first time it's been stated that Koga and Janine are actual ninjas from a clan
do you need to have played the kanto games to understand pokopia's story?
>>59014915Any references to Lt. Surge and the war he fought in?
>>59013740Winampbros...
>>59014934The game is set in post-apocalyptic Kanto and references people, events and locations from those games, so you tell me.
The hacker known as 4chan
>>59014935the note that you get before getting his outfit just talks about him being the gym leader
>>59014875It was actually a rocket they were building to take Team Rocket into space
>>59014951Surprised they'd make a hacker character after all the hacks.
>>59014984>Archer was building contingencies for Team Rocket while Giovanni was sulking in a caveWTF I LOVE ARCHER NOW?!
>>59013105so you're saying it's some kind of shelpis?
>>59014984>Team Rocket building a rocket
>>59015023bit on the nose, innit
>>59014914If your favorite mon didn't make it in, they went extinct as well
>>59015074how horrible
Any complications of the wild new Team Rocket lore yet?
>>59015074Stantlerbros........
>>59013880Or just standard retcons for series that exist for over half a decade... like it's pretty obvious that starting in Journeys they wanted to make the anime world match the game world whenever there were parallels, so much so that they even introduced the Battle Frontier in Hoenn as an actual place as opposed to it being established that the Hoenn Battle Frontier facilities were all scattered across Kanto.Of course there are exceptions primarily when it is an anime-specific location for the purpose of plot, but I mean Journeys alone went out of its way in some regard to not even bring back the Orange Islands, presumably because that creates conflict with the Sevii Islands, not to mention the fact that the Sevii Islands weren't referenced either.
>>59015074Fuck
>>59015074So basically Dexit.
Is Pokopia the future of the Pokemon world timeline as a whole? Everything just gets destroyed some time after the games?
>>59015214As of now, only one timeline.
>>59015214>>59015228>only one timelineIsn't ORAS confirmed to be set in a different timeline than the rest of the series?
>>59015214I look at it as the equivalent of shit that happened 3000 years ago when multiple events were going on at once which in the potential future leads to the world getting fucked. Like you know its bad when Kyogre read the situation and decide to pull a Lugia and sleep deep in the sea a to not add to the chaos.
>>59015214Alternate continuity, most likely, seeing as how Team Rocket either reformed AGAIN after Gold mogged them, or Gold's journey never happened, thus Team Rocket was allowed to recuperate in Johto and resume operations in Kanto, leading to the long term progression of environmental manipulation that then proceeded to ruin the world.
>>59015247Is it possible that Team Rocket just reformed again some time after the events of HGSS?
>>59015030Every other villain team is on the nose, never really made sense why Team Rocket was called such when they didn't do anything with rockets.
>>59015255Neither Plasma nor Flare are really on the nose when looking at their goals.Actually Plasma may be a quite clever name - plasma is when atoms (trainers) are detached from their electrons (pokémon)Flare is what, the boss' hair?
Imagine the turmoil when the rockets launched and billions were left for dead.
>>59013527yes, but poketuberfags need a contradiction.
>>59014384>>59014795Insofar as the engine and assets were made for let's go None of their developers actually touched this game per se
People acting like this storyline is shocking when they already did it in USUM
>>59013454>suddenly, Team Rocket can have bad writing>>59015236to the original RSE only, and multiple timelines were introduced in BW.Pokopia is probably another one
>>59013420Damn it, I missed USUM. It seems like I missed out on a lot of lore. I only played sun and moon
>>59013371They caused the world's Climate to Collapse, simple as that.
>>59015074D:
>>59015391Masuda said global warming doesn't exist in the Pokémon world though
>>59015255I just assumed it was yet another space reference - RBGY were full of 'em, with the implication that Pokemon were literal aliens that only recently showed up on the planet (which led to some mystery concerning the existence of Aerodactyl, Omanyte and Kabuto, which presumably arrived on Earth much earlier than the rest). Given all the space stuff has been more or less retconned out and Pokemon have now always been here (which now creates plot holes concerning why scientists like Oak were only just now trying to catalog and study them, among other things), the reference in TR's name has no real meaning anymore.
Imagine a future Pokemon game set on an O'neal cylinder space colony. With expeditions down to the inhospitable planet surface.
I can't believe pokemon was a prequel to pikmin this whole time!
>>59015401Not the one we have here anyways: possible that Team Rocket created a weather tower and fucked up the world by accident.
It'd be really neat if they were to do a XD/Colosseum style Pokemon game in this setting. Sad that they'll never do neat things like that.
>>59015417More like hibernating in cryochambers on the moon.
So is the starting town fuchsia city or pallet town? I'm getting conflicting reports
>>59013105Pink and blue don't make yellow...................
>>59015425Or Splatoon.>Humanity nukes themselves to near extinction in WW5>They take refuge underground to escape the fallout>Most of the underground shelters fail and the colonies die>The largest surviving colony was able to survive one generation, who then ignored warnings to not venture above and built a rocket underground (lol) to break through their shelter's roof so they could go back to the surface>Said rocket didn't break through and instead caused a cave collapse, killing the last colony and driving humans completely extinct>Meanwhile human memories trapped within chromatophore crystals, combined with the fallout, induced mutations in sealife that progressed through generations into humanoid forms>The humanoid sealife began terrestrial lives and moved into humanity's abandoned cities in the few non-irradiated regions of the planet left, adopting the culture humanity left behind>The rest of the world is either submerged from global warming and nuclear hell and/or owned by voracious and omnicidal mutant fish species that see their feeding frenzies as sacred>Also another colony of humans launched a zoo rocket containing animals in hibernation to survive and repopulate the world when the rocket returned, but by the time it did all the hibernation pods except for one brown bear's failed, leaving that bear the only surviving mammal on board
>>59015467RBY
>Pokopia is a Pokémon Mystery Dungeon prequel
It must have been Rayquaza.It got tired of solving humanity's problems and decided to do funny things with the weather until the planet became uninhabitable for them.
>>59014511second part of this?
>>59015409>he implication that Pokemon were literal aliens that only recently showed up on the planet (which led to some mystery concerning the existence of Aerodactyl, Omanyte and Kabuto, which presumably arrived on Earth much earlier than the rest)Only in the pokemon fanbase.
>>59015074IF Pokopia gets sequels they can have the other Pokemon come back, so it's fine, they might not be gone
>>59015555Not really. No idea if anything was changed in FR/LG and HGSS, as I never played those, but the original RGBY and GS both made it clear that Pokemon were a new phenomena, and that the game was taking place in the real world circa 96' (as evident by the Space Shuttle Colombia display in the Pewter Museum). There were frequent references to real-world locations, events, and animals, and Professor Oak literally has you make the first ever Pokedex to help him catalog and study all the known species - the Pokedexes are literally just paper-and-pencil notebooks that you fill in as you catch things.From the third game onward, everything changed - real-world animals never existed and Pokemon are literally their analogues now, the Regions are still loosely based on real-world locations, but have been heavily modified, and Pokemon in general are treated as less of an unknown threat (and are inherently much friendlier).
>>59015214As of Gen 6, they went really hard into the concept of multiverse, so Pokopia is likely just a possible universe, and not the actual way the Pokemon universe is going to end upIf they ever explore what actually happened to lead to Pokopia, I imagine whoever the current protagonist is would prevent it, and Pokopia itself is just a timeline where they didn't exist/failed
>>59013150Always have been.
>>59013782Game Key Cards are physical versions faggot.
>>59015253The only thing realistically holding them back from reforming is they really want Giovanni to be their leader, but Giovanni sees himself as unfit to lead them anymore, they could easily reform again if they got over needing Giovanni, that or Rainbow Rocket Giovanni leads them instead
>>59015214>Is Pokopia the future of the Pokemon world timeline as a whole?No, it seems to just be a possible future of one timeline. Incidentally, this seems to be a perfect lead-in to the Mystery Dungeon series. Humans fucked up the world and abandoned the planet. Pokemon are still around, have taken up residence in former human settlements, and are actively trying to rebuild things and mimic human civilization in an attempt to lure them back. Assuming this doesn't work and humans never return, a few timeskips later could very easily see the world become the way we see it in PMD, with Pokemon now acting civilized and having taken mankind's place in the world, yet having humans still be a known thing and explaining all the human-made ruins left scattered about everywhere.
>>59013105I fucking love blue shellos/gastrodon. I wonder if yellow could top it.
