what is and what is not pokemon canon.

>>33307645
The games are the main source of canon where the anime and manga take their content from but they follow different continuities (meaning they can take liberties)

>>33307678
i thought the manga was canon too.

It's canon to itself, but not to the games. Like how the anime is canon to itself, but not the games, or how the anime isn't canon in the manga.

Each medium is its own canon. The anime still slightly ties together all the way back to season 1 but appears on the verge of wanting to create a new universe a la Yu-Gi-Oh.

Team Rocket was not involved in the creation of Mewtwo in the game canon.

was getting trips part of your plan?

Alternate universes mean everything's canon.

Why do you people only call the manga fanfiction? Like why don't you call the anime or spin off games fanfiction too

>>33311160
Calling it fanfiction is the go to insult to trigger mangafags, like how calling the anime the ashnime triggers animefags.

False.
In alternative universe stories, characters' known motivations may vary considerably from their decisions in the canonical universe. The author of an alternative universe story thus can use the same characters, but send them down different paths to achieve a completely different plot.

The image posted with this comment is a good Example of that.

>>33311273
Nothing about your post says that the alternate universes aren't canon. In fact, the quote in your pic canonizes them

Everything is not canon.

Is Cubone hatching from an Egg with It's mother skull on canon?


No.

>>33311312
I'm with you, but to me there's no difference between everything being canon and nothing being canon. The games themselves obviously aren't that precise with their canon so why should we be?

>>33311342

Because, being accurate is important.

Does it matter?

Better question, do we really have to get into it?
