hello matpat I am available to analyze
your balls if you wish whoa that's the
tiniest balls I've ever seen hey man
that you want me to check out your mom's
butt over all your mom's butt is pretty
decent fine matpat let's take a look at
your ego shall we
your ego is gigantic the largest I've
ever seen I really got to take my
Pokemon naming more seriously
hello Internet welcome to game theory
where I just be back from Japan and boy
are my arms tired get it because I had
to carry my luggage and it was all
really heavy basically I was there for
about two weeks working on a top-secret
project that's gonna be on this channel
for all you guys so I'm really excited
to share that one with you that's coming
up in December though so more on that
later but while I was there I also made
sure to work on one other thing my
pokedex yup after months of lying
dormant I fired up Pokemon go again
remember the four weeks earlier this
year with NAT was still a thing anyway
between me wandering around Shibuya
looking for region-specific
far-fetched the announcement that gen 2
will be added to the game in December
and the fact that two new Pokemon games
literally just released I figured it was
a great time to revisit the small little
mobile app that caused the u.s. to walk
an extra one hundred and forty four
billion stats this summer and while the
game continues to do good work around
the world literally spawning Lapras and
tsunami damage Japanese communities in
order to jumpstart their economies today
we're covering the lore of this game
that's right I said the Lord because
when you look at the evidence pokemon go
whether intentionally or not they just
hold the key to answering one of
pokemons longest held mysteries one that
has lingered in chat rooms reddit posts
and many a YouTube Theory video since
the very first game no Joe warm up those
polka thumbs cuz today we're going back
into the world of Pokemon go so
obviously Pokemon go is a bit
rudimentary you can't weaken Pokemon to
catch them you can't battle to level up
back there isn't even a complete batch
of 150 Pokemon in the game but what if I
told you that all of that is intentional
that it's because go is the first game
in the Pokemon timeline this is actually
an idea that was first created by a
Japanese Twitter user named at ink
underscore virtue who as I started to
dig a bit deeper puzzle pieces all
started to fit together first although
there may not be 150 available right now
let's look at the Pokemon that you can
in the game the ones that are alive and
well and walking about the world around
you you can see all the usual suspects
your typical Rattata x' P cheese and so
many so many damn meat iran's hovering
around awkwardly in augmented reality
land just waiting around for your
capture bald
they have pokemon like oh man it--and
omastar Kabuto and Kabutops Pokemon that
my generation won are all extinct only
able to be added to your pokedex by
reviving ancient fossils and yet in go
they're just wandering around alive and
well if we assume that go does possess a
lore that ties in with a larger polka
verse that would mean that go is set
before gen 1 so that's pretty weird but
it gets even better who isn't in the
game from the original set of 151
Articuno Zapdos molt rez Mew and Mewtwo
obviously but they're all legendary so
no big surprises there that still leaves
one curious gap in the Pokedex ditto
because I looked into it and for all the
recent rumors that he's region specific
to Africa and all that it simply isn't
true based on the evidence that I can
tell all the images that have been
posted online have been largely debunked
as photoshopped so then that begs the
question why out of all the Pokemon is
ditto missing from the roster he's the
only one the only one who's not a
legendary well a popular theory
circulating the internet a few years ago
was that the Pokemon ditto was created
in attempts to clone Mew don't think of
it why did I never cover that one first
you missed opportunities well since I've
never fully covered it let me just run
through some of the major evidence right
now in a quick mini theory let's call it
a theory light no no better diet theory
supposed into a new way eight point
eight pounds or four kilograms
it's an odd coincidence right well odder
still is that they're both genderless
and the fact that they have the same
ability learning transform naturally at
level 0 people around that time also
said that their coloring is similar but
it's definitely not one of the stronger
points to the theory what is a strong
point of evidence know is that in
Pokemon yellow there are two places
where ditto can be caught the pokémon
mansion and cerulean cave the first is
the location where Mewtwo was cloned
from you
the second is where Mewtwo actually
lives so obviously we see that ditto and
Mewtwo share an unconnected something
that takes on even greater meaning when
noting that Mewtwo is always described
as quote the only successful clone of MU
ie that there were several other failed
attempts could those failed attempts be
Dido
well honestly if I were to assess this
theory yeah probably just think about
their abilities ditto can copy any
Pokemon and perform their moves Mew just
so happens to have the DNA of all
Pokemon within it and can learn any move
but hey that's just a theory a diet
theory thanks for listening to that
brief summary of the evidence so now
let's go back to the main theory about
Pokemon go think that ditto isn't in the
game points the idea that this is a game
happening before the cloning experiment
goes awry in fact Mewtwo being absent
from the game supports it as well he's
not in the game because he doesn't exist
yet just like the OMA Knights and Kabuto
not being extinct yet go takes place at
a time before Mew was attempted to be
cloned hence the reason both Mewtwo and
ditto are absent mind blown alright so
the available roster of Pokemon seems to
line up but that's not all the
rudimentary gameplay also factors in
quite nicely you hurl balls to catch
Pokemon that you stumble across in the
wild just happen to hope that your skill
and tossing is enough to lock in that
poliwag you've been eager for there's no
battling to weaken up maybe you use a
raspberry to help your odds but that's
about it
does that remind you of anything I don't
know about you but to me I immediately
think of the safari zones
parks built as nature preserves
protecting the earlier days of Pokemon
catching where again trainers are
restricted to just throwing balls and
not actually engaging in battle they
even have step limits
could they be a potential call back to a
simpler time when learning to be a
trainer wasn't so formalized ie the
period of Pokemon go and speaking of
training all of this would also explain
why you can't teach your Pokemon new
moves GM's and HMS just aren't a thing
they haven't been created yet the lack
of formal trainers is also why the gym
structure is so rudimentary and why
there are no badges it's still a new
concept in development but perhaps most
interestingly of all is the leveling
system in the game you don't battle to
gain levels you do it by feeding your
Pokemon candy shove enough bit-o-honey
is down your score
turtles gullet and you're gonna get a
Wartortle come hell or high water sounds
a lot like rare candy from the main
games no we're giving your pokemon a
candy causes them to level up but one
thing we've never stopped to consider is
the actual name of that item rare candy
it's a very specific word choice what
made them rare in the first place if
it's such a useful thing for trainers
why not mass-produce the stuff well
thing about what the Candy's made out of
other Pokemon it's a joke everyone's
made when you transfer your 100th
Rattata to create candy I mean let's
face it that Rattata is going to the
professor's meat grinder I mean the
candies are species-specific and
everything so what if what made them
rare was a movement among the people of
the Pokemon world protesting the
inhumanity of this practice sure it was
a fast way to gain levels but it was
deemed too cruel and so Candy's started
to disappear leading them to become it
with me now rare that would also explain
why rare candy isn't sold in stores in
the main series games it always has to
be found lying on the ground somewhere
you know that someone would want to make
a profit off of those things and some
market somewhere would sell them but
nope no store owner touches them meaning
that there must be some sort of ban
against selling these sorts of things
that's why I don't think it's a more
common explanation like overuse causing
the supply to plummet even if they were
overused they would still be sold in
stores so anyway if Pokemon go were the
origin story we see the beginnings of
candy and then by the time the main
series rolls around it's become outlawed
and is thus rare and if you think me
analyzing the declining supply of an
in-game item is thinking too far into
all this we'll think again we can
actually see it happen with the other
major item from Pokemon go raspberries
so in Pokemon go once you cross level
eight you get access to this special
item in poker stops and they drop fairly
regularly they're not rare by any means
across gem three and Gen four they're
still around but now fast-forward to
generation five and six which are
confirmed as the latest dates in the
Pokemon timeline now all of a sudden the
item descriptions talk about how rare
these items are interesting though even
the items in these games maintain a
sense of lore and that lore points to
Pokemon go being the predecessor to
everything that we've played since but
if the list of pokemon available
evolutions and gameplay and decline of
items isn't enough to convince the
here's the kicker the first person that
we meet in Pokemon go is Professor
Willow our guide through all things
Pokemon if this is indeed the first game
in the series with serious ties to the
main franchise then presumably we should
see this guy again right well what if I
told you that we do in pokemon gold
silver and crystal he's none other than
gym leader price now that may initially
seem like a stretch but stay with me
here first look at their posture and
hair color both are holding their
pokeballs in a very similar way and both
have white hair but price is old and has
gray hair I hear you saying and yeah
you're right that's absolutely correct
that could very well be the explanation
but also someone with white hair who
grows old would also keep his white hair
into old age you can't just rule it out
they also both have a fondness for an
outer coat with a popped collar so the
design shares similarities sure but
obviously that's all circumstantial
evidence we need something more solid
well in HeartGold and SoulSilver when
his last Pokemon is in critical
condition
price will say the following quote
willow is my middle name
willow is flexible and not easily broken
I'm not giving up yet end quotes what a
weird detail if you call him later in
the game he also brings it up again in
phone calls is it a coincidence that
these two share not only a similar pose
but also the same name and it's not just
any name mind you it's a tree name which
means a whole heck of a lot when you
consider that to my knowledge anyone
with a tree name in the Polka verse is
or at least has been a professor it's
kinda like the expectation that anyone
named Jeeves is eventually gonna become
a butler
obviously the exception to this rule is
ash but that's the anime and the anime
has questionable canonicity and it's not
like he grows older anyway who knows he
might grow up to become a professor etc
etc etc to me at least I like the story
that this theory creates but at the
beginning of the episode I mentioned
that if this is indeed true then go
might answer one of pokemons
longest-held mysteries and that my
friends is the origin of the great
Pokemon war ever since generation 1 the
Internet has speculated about a
mysterious Pokemon war alluded to by
lieutenant surge during your gym battle
with him I propose to you that this war
is one caused by disagreements between
team mystic team valor and
instinct about the proper role and use
of Pokemon get this we know that the
board has to take place in lieutenant
surges lifetime so it's within 40 years
of generation 1
this guy is no easy living for 3,000
years or anything that also means it has
to come after the creation of the first
pokeballs as according to the game's
lore modern pokeballs were first
developed back in 1925 by Professor
Westwood and what do we have in Pokemon
go well for all the rudimentary game
mechanics we do have one modern idea and
that is balls modern balls and yet by
the start of generation 1 team mystic
valour and instinct are no more no one
even mentions them also we see and go
that willow is in his late twenties
early thirties ish which would place him
around prices age by the time the events
of silver and gold would roll around
price even mentions having to go through
hardships in his life in anime that's
losing his piloswine but in the games
he's older than Serge meeting he must
have gone through the same war that
Serge did but most of all look at the
pokemon created prior to the start of
generation 1 first porygon and then
Mewtwo it's actually confirmed by the
official Bulba PD at Oregon came first
and then years later Mewtwo showed up
both our artificial pokemon created via
programming in poor Egan's case or
cloning in mutants
decisions that I guarantee are gonna be
pretty controversial to people
artificially creating life nah that's
gonna make some people very very upset
and in Pokemon go we have a porygon but
not a ditto or a Mewtwo meeting that
this slots right in that sweet spot from
the timeline where one exists and the
other one doesn't
thus I propose that Pokemon go not only
connects to the main franchise games but
tells the story of the start of
lieutenant surges mysterious Pokemon war
one fought between valor mystic and
instinct over the creation and use of
man-made pokemon a war that was either
prompted by the creation of Mewtwo or
ended by the creation of Mewtwo in the
end mystic and instinct to team up to
win against valor hence having a society
dominated by professor studying Pokemon
in the wild and battling being relegated
to formal competitions regulated by the
Pokemon League by the time Gen 1
around is it a stretch am i overthinking
a really simple mobile app that was
created by people who didn't fully
understand the mechanics of the game
yeah probably but personally I like this
one a lot because it fits together a lot
of pieces for a mystery I think the
creators of the Polka verse forgot a
long time ago but hey that's just a
theory a game theory thanks for watching
and thus we bring in the age of a new
war a war in the comments debating the
validity of this theory I look forward
to seeing who the winner is so now that
you know the hidden lore within Pokemon
go I have one more question what are you
gonna do while playing Pokemon go let's
face it the game doesn't have the most
compelling of soundtracks well how about
listening to an audio book instead
perhaps the Pokemon Go gamer tips guide
now available on audible.com yeah that's
right audible has Pokemon go related
books already that is called being
relevant so now while you're standing in
the middle of targets parking lot at 3
a.m. blindly wandering in circles hoping
for a Dragon Knight to spawn you could
be rocking out to the ultimate history
of gaming from pong to Pokemon while
you're burning through the last of your
free pokeballs and security is asking
you to leave the premises
tell him you're catching them all all
the audio books original audio shows
news and comedy and audibles unmatched
library of contents that is and when it
keeps bugging you to leave tell them to
back off since you're exercising your
rights as a private US citizen facts
that you'll have learned from listening
to rogue justice the making of the
security state another of audibles great
titles and after Pokemon go blindly
sends you tumbling off a cliff in
pursuit of that rogue pincer you can see
if you were included in this latest
report about the craziest Pokemon go
injuries also available for you to

then you'll be able to sleep tight in

one final note in case you were
wondering the results of the super
amazing and card tournaments for fern
aft the overall number one favorite
animatronic of all time is the duo
combination of foxy and mangle with an
overwhelming majority twice that of the
next most popular animatronic baby
