Mews are ‘un-differentiated’ Pokémon
Ok so this is a pretty nifty theory on everyone’s favourite cute pink cat/mouse hybrid… thing. So the theory suggests that Arceus is the God Pokémon and, after he created time and space, with Dialga and Palkia to govern it, he wanted to populate said planet.
So what does he do? Sends a plague of Mews… sure as hell makes a plague of Locusts look a bit shit! The theory argues that over time, the Mews started to differentiate depending on the environment they found themselves in. Tada! You have Pokémon with different elements and different characteristics to help them adapt to their particular surroundings.
Ah! You say, but Mew has the DNA for all Pokémon. Correct! But the theory argues that once it differentiates to suit its environment, it loses everything it doesn’t need and so you end up with Pokémon remaining the same, not flicking and switching between different Pokémon.
Unless you’re talking about Ditto of course, but the whole ‘Mew= Ditto’ theory is discussed in the comments for the theory. You can check out the theory and the developments forming in the comments here.
The Construction Site in Vermilion City
Did you ever wonder what that guy was actually building at the construction site in Vemilion City? Well it turns out that someone over on Reddit has quite an interesting theory.
Maybe it was supposed to be a hotel! After all, Vermilion is one of the main ‘hub’ cities of the Kanto region; you can get to Lavendar Town, Fuschia City, Saffron City and Cerulean City from one of the many different routes linking it to the rest of the region.
The theory even points out that all of these towns have attractions for all those Poké tourists! Fancy having a wander around a haunted tower? Head to Lavendar Town’s Pokémon Tower. What about seeing some less common, wild Pokémon? Then Fuschia City is where you should head.
Not to mention Vermilion City is home to the one and only Pokémon Fan Club, for all those super fans! Diglett’s Cave provides a natural tourist attraction, and of course the Pokémon gym is a must for all those trainers out there.
The theory makes a pretty valid argument too, as the port would bring many different people in and out of Vermilion on a daily basis. Long day of travelling on a boat from a different region? To the hotel you go! After all there aren’t any other hotels in the Kanto region, are there?
Check out the Construction Site conspiracy theory here, for a few more of the arguments. Oh and the comments even hilariously suggest why the ‘struggling Machop’ still hasn’t started construction!
Mt. Pyre Is Made out of Dead Pokémon Bodies
So Mt. Pyre, a creepy-ass place where people go to bury their dead Pokémon and spend hours on end staring at the tombstone.
This theory takes the creepness level Mt. Pyre is currently at and throws it out the fucking window. The theory argues that in Pokémon X/Y, we’re told of a Pokémon war that occurred and caused many deaths. We’re told of the ultimate weapon using the powers of Xerneas/ Yveltal to bring the Flabébé back to life, and these powers required the life energy from all surrounding Pokémon. Boom – shit ton of dead Pokémon are lying around.
Now, vast fields of Pokémon corpses is likely going to be a negative, so people towered them up and cremated the bodies, creating a tower of ash. Now mix this with rain and dust, and (now I’m no geologist here so I’m going off the words of the theorist) you get sedimentary rocks. I suppose it’s kind of fitting to have a tower of dead Pokémon with a cemetery inside to memorialize as many Pokémon as possible.
The theory goes on to note that the place is so smashed up because grave robbers frequently attempt to steal from the temple. Whilst it’s definitely not a completely solid theory, it sure is one of the darker ones to stumble upon. If you want to read up on the potential flaws, check out the theory here.
Arceus Is Manmade
Ok so hear this one out… so Arceus is known as the god Pokémon, as we mentioned before. So why would what is essentially a god Pokémon allow you to catch it? Why would it let its own species be used as a tool of battle for the human species? The Pokédex doesn’t call it a god, only a creator, or a point of origin. So is Arceus really the god of the world?
Well, the theory provides us with alternative answer: that Arceus is actually artificial. The arc on its back looks mechanical, yet the rest of it looks, to an extent, organic. The theory believes that Arceus is a biosynthetic construct, from which the Pokémon world originated. This would, according to the theory, mean the entire Pokémon universe is mandmade.
So who made Arceus? Well the theory believes that Arceus was put together by a civilization nearing the end of their universe, created as the final hope of a surviving population. Arceus was designed specifically to survive past the end of said doomed universe in egg-form. Upon hatching, it was designed to recreate the laws of physics, matter, and energy. Boom! Palkia and Dialga formed to govern these, as previously mentioned.
The theory also gives reasons as to why Arceus allows himself to be captured. It was created so humans could ensure the new universe replicated the one they had known, and is therefore, ultimately, a servant to humans, who did all they could to ensure that Arceus would always answer to its original creators.

Pokémon Are Beings of Pure Energy
Ok, so I’m sure this may upset some Pokémon fans, but just hear out the theory. It argues that Pokémon are beings of pure Infinity Energy.
The theory first links in some way to the Pokémon war we discussed back in the Mt. Pyre theory, where the ultimate machine required the energy of Pokémon in order to power it. Now you could argue that this was a somewhat darker kind of energy, like a life force… or it could mean that the energy that IS a Pokémon was used by the Xerneas/ Yveltal and the ultimate machine.
It does give a lot of explanation to many of the things you always wondered about when playing the games. After all, how can you catch an animal in a Pokéball without it being incredibly inhumane? The theory argues that in a far-future with advanced technology, the Infinity Energy can be rewritten into computer code, and so Pokéballs do this, storing your Pokémon as programming until you click and throw.
Makes sense of the ‘storing a living creature inside a computer’ thing too, doesn’t it? And TMs, pictured as discs in the games, are used to rewrite or modify a small bit of the Pokémon’s code.
The theory answers a lot of your unanswered questions, and the author has said he’ll keep updating in the comments when he thinks of more. This is definitely a must, so visit the theory here.
So there we have it, 5 incredible Pokémon conspiracy theories which are sure to get you thinking more and more about the Pokémon universe. What did you think? Have you had any Pokémon Conspiracies of your own? Let us know in the comments below.
