Welcome to the third Pokemon World General thread! (or /pwg/ for short)
This is the place to discuss the inner workings of the pokemon world and to post your own headcanon and theories. You may also discuss what you would do if you were able to become a pokemon trainer and how life would be for you.
Some examples of previous discussion has been:
What types of pokemon are the easiest and hardest to train?
Where do the classic starter pokemon come from?
Is it ethical to battle and capture pokemon?
Which region and town would you want to live in?
What are artificial pokemon (porygon, golett etc)? Where do they come from?
This is the place to let your autism shine! However, no roleplaying allowed. There are other threads and boards for that.

>What are artificial pokemon (porygon, golett etc)? Where do they come from?
I think artificial pokemon are basically regular items (computer program or statue) that have somehow been given a pokemon "essence." Kind of like a posession.
I imagine that pokemon like Golett and Claydol were probably given a spirit through religious or ceremonial customs many years ago.
Another question for the thread, why do psychics and hex maniacs seem to be the only trainer classes to have mystical powers? What makes them have a closer connection to psychic or ghost pokemon than the average pokemon trainer?
I've always wondered why it's just kind of accepted that some trainer classes just have superpowers for almost no reason.
Another question I've been pondering is the definite of a pokemon trainer. Most NPC's we meet in the pokemon world have a pokemon or two in their house. Are they pokemon trainers? If so do they need licenses? Or are people allowed to have one or two pokemon without a license? Or something else entirely?
Also in-game and in the anime a pokemon trainer can start their adventure/career at age 10. I'm assuming that in our world it would be at the age of 18-21.
Also, does each professor give out starter pokemon to the following towns? So everyone around that area gets to choose from bulbasaur/squirtle/charmander/etc or would you be able to get a hand-me-down or catch your own?

>Also in-game and in the anime a pokemon trainer can start their adventure/career at age 10
Was it actually ever started in-game? I am fairly sure it's just an anime thing.
You're not telling me that these kids are ten.
Alright guys, time for some real, confirmed insider info.

Literally all you have to do is wait two months, faggot. Even if you don't have an event for it in your country, or are too autistic to go to Gamestop yourself, I guarantee people will be giving them out on here.

What will the next big genwun pander be in Sun & Moon?
Kanto starters will be given in the vein of the elemental monkeys from gen 5 before the first gym to round out your team
>>28744743
New post-game megas for our favorite pokemon... Lizardon :^)
>>28744754
So just like in X and Y then
Will Gamefreak ever make a pair of games so rich in content ever again?
>tfw the answer is no.

>>28744741
Yes. Those games are called Sun and Moon.
>Be me
>Female Player
>Not a furfag
>Just love cats and dogs
qué muchacho tu no tiendes a playa con legendary
Your team is great but the t. femanon and the legendary shouldn't be here
>>28744710
Using legendaries is stupid. Also, the new legendaries look like yugioh monsters.
I rate this team as a "post your feet"/10
>>28744710
>be female
Stoped reading
Wanna ride?
Riding is dank
yes
>>28744692

Want some leaks? Or Just wanna discuss your own? Then here's the place C:
>C:
Get out
>>28744671
> <3
> C:
Seriously what are you doing
>>28744700
I just wanna see all those fake leaks lmao
What is this thing supposed to be? Some say it is a cat, which I can definitely see the resemblance, and others say it's a rabbit or hare, which I assume is because of the ears.
But I wonder if we got it all wrong and those are even ears. There are no holes or other openings to actually hear though on them, they seem more like antennae then ears.
Would that then make Umbreon based on an insect?
And before people go "Not a bug type!", Bonsly and Sudowoodo are pure rock type, look just like a tree, and Bonsly is actually based on a real insect.
fox
>>28744489
It's a Pokemon.
>>28744489
Umbreon is an Umbr
Is it ever shown in any way who was the E4 champion prior to Blue?
>>28744479
Lance.
>>28744479
No one. A message in Oak's lab says that the League has just reopened. There is no champion. Later gens kinda forgot this detail.
>>28744565
Cause every other league had a Champion?????
Ok /vp/, explain wtf just happened at the end of Team Flare arc in Y version.
>Lysandre goes berserk and decides to kill the player.
>Despite wanting to kill them, he simply lets player, rival and Shauna run away.
>Fires the weapon.
>Beam flies up and.. falls right back down at the base, destroying it
Wtf was his plan?
but what the fuck are the tiny robots and the visor for
>>28744473
I think that was him using them for mega evolution, since normally you need max happiness with your pokemon

>i want rath in the reboot
Don't worry I'll give them a good home
It's people like you that gives Poppmaid, Heel Tigre and Robinhoot fans a bad reputation.
Why did they go back to loli protagonists? Serena is perfect.

I never noticed before just how many Dragon mons Kalos introduced. Kind of a weird decision for a dex with a limited amount of Pokemon.
It was because dragons were no longer the 'boss/lategame' type due to fairies
>>28744013
>and still no Fire/Dragon Pokemon that isn't legendary
I guess I'll have to wait for the Britain/Wales region in gen 13
