The only reason nobody's ever seen a pokemon lay an egg is that the only place they ever actually lay eggs is in a secluded den in the wild (if the pokemon is wild), or (if the pokemon has been caught) all the 'Day-Care' people are near blind and completely brain-dead.



Ooh, Luxray Village! Make an article about how great green umbreons are! Or you could write an article about how the pokemon in the legendary trio in GSC are obviously FISH.

And don't forget to add a guestbook! A page with all the sprites you made, or one telling the secret on how to pet Regice without your hand having to be amputated afterward due to extreme frostbite! And a page about the benefits of using live mice instead of those plastic ones for you computer! And why cube shaped watermelons are great!



Suicune for the spammifier.

K. So this is really random. I'm in the middle of making a website called Luxray Village. Does anyone have any ideas?

Yay, new theory :) You should add a bit about why certain pokemon evolve based on gender though (for Instance, why female Burmy become Wormadam while males become Mothim, or why only female snorunt become froslass, etc.)

I'm sorry, but I really can't see what is so terribly wrong with assuming that Pokémon reproduce sexually for the purposes of theorizing about their genetics, particularly since we do know that two sexes exist (why would they otherwise?).



You know nothing about whether Pokémon have genitals. It is quite an obvious fact that if they have genitals, they would not be drawn on in the official art, so saying you can't see them there proves nothing. You're welcome to just think of Pokémon as reproducing through some mystical phenomenon or whatever if you feel like it, but the thing is that that view isn't very open to intelligent theorizing about anything. Since I'm creating a theory to begin with, I must assume they reproduce by some sensible and scientifically explainable means.



(Also, I know a lot of nice people who look at Pokémon hentai who would not appreciate being called sick fucks.)

Pokémon don't have genitals. In fact, nobody has ever seen a pokémon lay an egg, so you can also assume that nobody has seen pokémon having sex. Therefore, the purpose of genders is unknown, ja? Whilst pokémon can breed, nobody knows how. Unless you look at pokémon hentai, you sick fuck.

Typhloise…. I couldn't make any sense out of that :D But anyway….



I see Dittos reproducing in similar fashion to amoebas. Like, growing huge and dividing into more Dittos.

Porygon were probably programed with the same cells as other Pokemon



My theory on Ditto is that, when a Pokemon in the wild breeds, it has a small chance of producing a molecularly unstable Pokemon. Just as there is a small chance of a child having autism. The Pokemon being molecularly unstable, it assumes the shape of a "blob". It's DNA is unstable, so it can mold it to any shape or form, preferably another species of Pokemon. Almost how if you put water in a cup, it will go into a cylindrical shape (providing your cup is cylindrical).



I read a lot, don't I?

Pikachu Goddess

Wow. I could read through the whole theory and understand everything said. You did a good job, Butterfree. Well done.



Maybe the Porygon were programmed to have cells very similar to a Pokémon so that they could breed. By the way, don't they have no gender?



Speaking of genders, do the spammifier Pokémon have male or female sprites? (Except for the just male/female ones, of course.)

Greenumbreon

That theory was compliated, but made sense.



How do porygon breed? They're just computer programming but can reproduce with 'real' pokemon. Like nosepass. Or snorunt!

And where do all the dittos come from? If they can only breed with other species…

I don't really see physical gender differences as being anything worth explaining specifically, to be honest. We already know how the sex is determined; the physical gender differences are just part of what the ruling sex strands do, just like the formation of genitals would be.



And why would more options to keep them up be needed? o_O If you want to keep them, having one option to express that will work just as well as having multiple options.

It doesn't explain physical gender differences, which would be nice.



How come there weren't more options to keep them up?

I think the new theory is really interesting(though I had to read it again to understand it more fully). Good job^.^



Also, I agree that it's better to take down the old theories.

Typhloise

I understood every word of it, unfortunately. It did make perfect sense, though.

*head explodes* That was confusing. Well, I'm taking Biology next year, maybe that will clear it up. And welcome back, Butterfree!

Iceland did as one would expect for a country of 300,000. :P It is statistically impossible for Iceland to place very high in something like this. I think we came in 76th or something like that. China, of course, won, again thanks to statistics.

Typhloise

Yay! I'm finally back at my regular computer! I was just wondering Butterfree, how did Iceland do in the International Mathematical Olympiad? And who came first!



And if I recall, didn't the poll have the most votes for "Your site, your call"?



Electivire for spammifier! I uploaded one to my Pearl from Battle Revolution about a month ago!

(Also note that there are three options which basically amount to "Yes, you might as well take the fan theories down (perhaps with some reservations)" while there is only one for "No, don't take them down", so naturally the votes against are more concentrated in the latter; all three "for" options taken together are more than the naysayers, even discounting everybody who voted "Your site, your call".)

As it happens, I was watching the poll results from the beginning. At the start, overwhelmingly more people believed it made sense to remove them; later, after the update explaining why I wanted to take the fan theories down disappeared from the front page, the ratios were distorted by the fact that new voters didn't know why I wanted to take them down anymore. I made a list of carefully-explained reasons to take them down and thus obviously felt previously inclined to want to take them down (which, by the way, is what all those voters saying "Your call" were voting for, so it is extremely unfair of you to dismiss all those people as "lame"). The poll was for seeing if people generally wanted to keep the fan theories anyway, which they didn't. You can still access the theories at the same URLs that they used to be; I'm just not going to consider them sections of my site anymore.

Charizard Morph

Yay! something new to read!!
