10+ years too old but yeah not sure if people pointed it out already
>>25768327
I never realised people didn't know this. Why did you think you needed certain pokemon to get to the Regis?
>Wailord for deep sea diving
>Relicanth for the map
>>25768327
So what happens when you push the red button on Relicanth?
>>25768405
It's extremely painful.
This is the worst thread ever posted anywhere
>>25768327
My brother always saw the red dot as the fucking eye.
>>25768405
for massive damage
>>25768327
>>25768385
Well fuck, I never realised Relicanth was supposed to be a map
>>25768327
well this new to me. thats cool as hell.
>>25768408
FOR YOU
>>25768532
Well crap. I didn't notice either.
So the spot on the side looks like the mainland, and the spot above looks like the island, right?
but then the red spot would be on the opposite side of Pacifidlog from the Sealed Chamber, cause it's upside down

The dead raticate myth is such bullshit. Now that we have the rereleased red and blue we have all have the ability to read the real dialogue and debunk this myth one person at a time. He never EVER says "do you know what it's like to have your Pokemon die?".
Keep in mind this is just a interpretation, but i think it's the most probable one
>>25768385
Why is Wailord required for deepsea diving? Other Pokémon can do it too. Relicanth brings the map, but what does Wailord bring that any other Diving Pokémon couldn't?
I also made this one
>>25768385
Tbh, I didn't know about the Relicanth thing
>Not realising some people here aren't as autistic as this
>>25769223
The setting of the game must also be after 1979, because the Space Shuttle Columbia wasn't finished until then.
I had no idea Relicanth was a map, but it's super obvious now
>>25769276
Is Space Shuttle columbia also mentioned in the museum?
>>25769437
It is in Red and Blue. In the remakes it was an unnamed space shuttle.
>>25769597
I'll look into it
If you're right, that means the occupation is completely over, even in okinawa, and it would probably be too late for the war to be Korea

It's because they have similar-ish levelup moves in gen 1.
>>25768989
The reason that Kanto is the way it is (people talking about war, really small towns, no entertainment) is because it is based on Tokyo in the 1960s.
>>25769212

Emerald pokedex for Wailird: It breathes through nostrils that it raises above the sea. By inhaling to its maximum capacity, a Wailord can dive close to 10,000 feet beneath the waves.
>>25768385
I always saw it at more of a reference to evolution, real life evolution.
With Wailord being based on a whale which is a mammal that gradually evolved to move from living on the land to dwelling in the sea and Relicanth being a lobed finned fish to show the gradual shift from totally aqueous living to amphibious life on land.

Or, you know, the artists just draw some random cammo they think looks cool.
>>25770512
Or you could just google it, Mr Ace Detective.
>>25774034
Also possible, but seeing as it fits with the wars that are otherwise also most likely, i don't think it's a coincidence
>>25768327
I cant find anything about this online. Where are all these secret hidden? I need to know!
>>25774118
You're putting waaaay more thought into this than GF ever did. Everything isn't deepest lore.
>>25774047
Thats Mr Pet Detective to you pal
>>25774253
I don't think it's that much of an overanalyzation
gen1 is roughly based on satoshi's childhood
If he were to put in soldiers there, it'd be reasonable to assume they'd look like whichever soldiers he remembered (be it in person, or on TV)
Which just so happens to line up with the cammo Surge uses and the time it was used during
I also think this could've happened subconciously from GFs side, so it could make more sense than they intended it to
Even if you think i'm overdoing it, you've got to agree that there is some point to what i'm saying
Besides, this is a question asked so often, that i thought it'd be fine if someone could actually come up with an answer, even if it's wrong.
>>25774047
I was busy, so i just didn't wanna do that stuff right then, but yeah, i see it, thanks.
>>25768327
>Relicanth is just a map, nothing else.
fucking pokedex fillers
>>25774538
>Even if you think i'm overdoing it, you've got to agree that there is some point to what i'm saying
I don't, since you're desperately looking for patterns where there are none. If you really are unable to even consider that others might not agree with that, you probably have problems.

I know it could be wrong, but i do think it works
and as i said, even if it's completely false, this is a question asked so often that someone should actually come up with something, which i did.
If you've been in those discussions before, you'll know that people already say WWII, Korea and Vietnam just as often as they say Kanto was at war with some other region

Just wanna point this out
but did you guys know that the mozart meme has spread to /v/? It's used in nearly all lore threads there
>>25769210
>>25779436
Consider that this is the original and tell me it didn't come from /v/ in the first place
>>25779541
Well, if you search the archive, you'll find mentions of mozart on /vp/ as early as summer 2014
and on /v/ as early as late 2015
>>25779541
So Mozart is black AND alive
Wow *sigh* what have I been learning all my life. Is anything true?
>>25771756
Tbh findings like these make me so happy. Proves that there's still enough mystery in Pokemon to keep us curious for long.
>>25779548
>2014 and 2015
Are you retarded? The Mozart jokes are much older than that.
>>25779620
Welp, fuck me!
I just didn't realize the archives delete the oldest posts eventually, and since /v/ is faster, that's not so far back as it is on /vp/
To answer your question: yes, i am retarded

Taken from bulba's trivia "After defeating School Kid Alberta here in Black 2 and White 2, she relocates to the Mistralton City Pokémon Center, claiming to have felt a little burned out after the battle. This could be interpreted as a reference to how Litwick, her Pokémon of choice, are known to absorb life force from people."
>>25768989
Most of these are retarded but I fucking refuse to believe that the Venomoth/Butterfree thing wasn't a legit mixup. The designs are just too god damn similar.

Not disagreeing, but I think you forgot where birds came from.
>>25780645
also not disagreeing, but (zu)bats aren't birds
>>25768327
I don't see how it correlates to the map.
OK!
Let's get serious a bit
Second post in this thread claims he "never realized people didn't know". He never pointed it out because he thought everyone knew
And last week, i pointed out that PorygonZ's head was upside down, and was surprised to learn most people didn't know that
So, if there are things you've realized, and you think everyone already knows, please point it out, you may be surprised to learn that you're the first
This thread was potentially awesome until>>25768989 ruined it.
In FRLG, Red and Leaf's clothes are a reference to the games themselves. The pants may look blue, but it's actually a light shade of green, borderlining between cyan.
>>25771104
No? Am I retarded for thinking so or does no one really give a shit?
>>25780982
Leaf for comparison.
>>25768385
It's not that obvious. Recognizing a map on the gen III sprites is not easy, since the red dot isn't really visible that well and sort of blends in with the brown.
>>25781036
Yeah sorry I didn't mean to be patronising. Plenty of things I didn't see til they were pointed out online.
>>25781099
You don't have to apologize man. I was just pointing something out too.
>>25780982
I can guarantee that the designer never, ever thought about this super deep symbolism.
>>25780645
Bats are not birds, retard.
Although pterodactyls aren't dinosaurs either.
>>25780997
>>25771104
No one replied to you because it's clear that Relicanth is exactly that
you're not wrong, but we all knew
But none of that disregards it being a map, it could easily be both of them, and for all we know, even a third thing
>>25770532
>>25772013
I guess my brother is not as retarded as I thought then.
>>25781134
Believe what you want, that IS a shade of green.
>>25781225
And? What does that prove?
You're the same idiot going on about the camouflage, aren't you?

Bite and Supersonic is really it. Every Flying type got Wing Attack I think

My illiterate friend, I meant that both theories were equally farfetched, and his writing style was very similar, especially the "you don't have to believe me, but..." bullshit.
>>25781149
>>25780675
Le sigh.
Missed the point, but yeah. My point, Birds = Age of Dinos. Not Birds = Fucking Bats, dipshits. Anon here made a comment that
>avian dinosaur evolves into flying mammal
Implying that "can't" happen, yet birds, and even gators and sharks came from said era, that was what I meant there. I didn't say a damn bat IS the evo line of a damn Pterodactyl, hence my "Not disagreeing" part.

I guess you're colorblind, or you're fucking trolling me.
>>25782828
Not sure if i improved it or not
>>25768327
I don't see a correlation. They look vaguely similar, I guess, but it's far from being so identical that it must have been intentional.
>>25782828
>>25783357
the red dot is supposed to be pacifidlog
>>25783540
I originally thought that, but why else would Relicanth be needed to get to the Regis?
>>25783739
But it doesn't fit
>>25783752
Why is Wailord needed to get them?
>>25768989
this is cool, why do people hate this?
>>25783274 #
I am not denying the colours, you dense, dyslexic motherfucker, I'm saying that it's stupid to assume that there is some deep symbolic meaning behind the colour of their pants.
>>25768989
This theory is shit
>Flapjack is Barry
Ok you got me there family
>>25783752
Because, like the Regis, it's ancient.
>>25780856
I haven't felt this way since the day I learned that Slowking doesn't evolve from Slowbro
>>25784118
So then why don't you need a fossil Pokemon in your party?
>>25784250
Relicanth is already ancient though, why would you need more than one ancient pokemon?
>>25783357
Still not seeing it. And if you need to change it so much, the theory seems a lot weaker.
>>25784348
>change it so much
It's just rotated
>>25783739
it's supposed to be the regi chamber west of pacifidlog. I doubt a pokemon thousands of years old would have a recently-built town etched into its biology.
>>25784444
And yet not even the basic shapes line up. I'm dissapointed, it seemed like a cool find until you tried to prove it.
>>25784471
It's nowhere near the Regi chamber. It fits with the island near Sootopolis
