[@TheUnusualSuspect]

Here's my theory about this. Now because Gary's Raticate is at level 16 in its final battle that leaves Mat to believe that it wasn't the same Ratata 'cos Ratata doesn't evolve until level 20. But here's the thing, the absolute lowest level you can catch a Raticate in Red/Blue in the wild is level 23 in Route 16. So Gary couldn't have caught it in the wild either (unless you're playing Yellow as a Raticate can be caught Level 15 there). So that leaves me to believe that Gary forced his Ratata to evolve early. Now it sounds impossible but remember that Gary doesn't exactly treat his Pokemon with love and respect. My thought is that Gary pushed his Ratata so hard that it evolved faster than it should have. And this strain that this put Ratata/Raticate under is what causes it to die when you make it faint in the battle at the SS Anne.

[@tomek6132]

I've never liked the "You Killed Blue's Raticate" theory. My main evidence against it is when you beat him before Nugget Bridge, he says "I went to Bill's and got him to show me his rare Pokémon! . . . He invented the Pokémon Storage System on PC! Since you're using his system, go thank him!" This strongly implies that thanking Bill is what Blue was just doing, further implying that Blue uses the storage system. The simplest explanation: Blue stored his Raticate.

[@BryanX64]

Not nearly as interesting.

[@BoraCM]

I think the reason why he switches out his Raticate is to say that you can store your pokemon. I think the pokemon company did it as an example, saying that since he did it, you can do it too.

Well, Raticate, with the right moveset, was actually able to be a powerful ally to beat the game. I played a "Gary Run" where I used only Gary-owned Pokemon through the game. Keeping Raticate would have helped him out if he kept it leveled with his team. Raticate eRaticated Lorelei (only being Lv. 57), wasn't used vs Bruno Mars, destroyed Agatha's Golbat and Arbok and was useful against her other Pokemon, then only fainted when I got to Lance. If trained well, it's quite powerful, especially with Alakazam to make up for its weaknesses.

[@justaregulartoaster]

I think gamefreak doesn't give a damn about logic. I mean, you play a 10 year old who goes out into the world to live alone, to capture wild animals, and to battle criminal organisations where police failed. You can fit a whole bicycle into your backpack, and running is absolutely impossible without wearing the right shoes. The professor next door asks you what gender you are, and he forgets the name of his own grandson. There are other trainers who are standing in the exact same spot 24/7, and they immediately want to battle if they see you in front of them. If you're next to them, they can't see you. A bottle of water from a vending machine heals more HP than a potion designed for it, and medical animal care is completely free of cost. If your team faints, you run to the last pokemon center you were in, even if it's 5 cities away. If you are in the middle of a cave, you can use a rope to get out. You are not allowed to even exist outside of your town without pokemon to protect you. Except for the safari zone, where there's gigantic, wild pokemon, that's not dangerous at all. And driving your bike in closed buildings is prohibited, professor oak will tell you that, he always knows where you are. There are ledges where it's impossible to climb up, but at the same time completely safe to jump down. There are gold nuggets scattered all over the place, and they are coincidentally ALL found by the same person. Which is you. A sleeping pokemon can break out of a ball if you try to catch it, then it continues sleeping. A poisoned pokemon only takes damage if you move. Random strangers give you their money and phone number if you defeat them. If you catch a water pokemon, you have to teach it how to surf. Throughout your whole journey, you never need to go to toilet, and you never eat or drink anything, and you never sleep. Once you defeated the top 4, you can come back and the guy who was master is still master, even though you clearly are now better. You (still 10 years old) can go into a casino without a problem, and pokemon battles with high amounts of money betting are legal in your age. The police consists entirely of identical looking policewomen, and all nurses look identical too. That pokemon whose name i can't remember, the bird with two heads, can fly. Even though it doesn't have wings. It can even carry you, to a city you've been before (only to cities, and only if you've been there before). So can pidgey, a bird the size of a pigeon. In battle, you can use your attacks regardless of your environment: flying up high while being inside of a small cave at the same time is entirely possible. But what isn't possible is using the splash attack, which magikarp performs, to do any damage. Though, according to the pokedex, magikarp can use it to jump over the top of mountains. If inventory is full with a bicycle, a fishing rod, 44 pokeballs, 23 repels, 30 potions, 2 antidotes, 8 gold nuggets, a big load of money, a pokedex, a phone, a radio, your badges and loads of hms and tms, and you happen to find a candy on the floor, you can't carry it. You are still able to throw a pokeball, but you cannot transport this candy. There is a city where the only way out or in leads through a family's home. But that's no problem, because if you enter a stranger's house, without ringing the doorbell or knocking, they will still welcome you, give you a gift and tell you their life story. There are not toilets anywhere. Or sinks, or barhtubs. There are pokemon centers everywhere, but not a single human hospital. Or fire station. And only one or two police stations. There are fences in the middle of hiking paths which are arranged like mazes. If there's a sleeping relaxo blocking our path, we can't catch it, or squeeze past it, or climb over, no, we need to wake it up. That is only possible using the pokemon flute. See, i could go on forever.

Like the Gyarados by James and the Red Gyarados by Team Rocket. Then the fact that Team Rocket let him come and go in Silph Company freely with no resistance at all... Gary is from Team Rocket confirmed.

[@Zexonyte]

I think that Pokémon can evolve earlier when they're trained by NPCs. This is evidence from a different game, but if MatPat can use questionable canon then so can I. In Pokémon GSC, Lance fights you at the Indigo Plateau with two level 47 and a level 50 Dragonite. When _you_ train Dragonair, however, it doesn't evolve until level 55. So I think it's entirely plausible that Gary's Raticate is the same Pokémon as his level 15 Rattata at Nugget Bridge. As an NPC, he's able to make his Pokémon evolve at a different level than you.

[@humberto62835]

yeah lastly matpat theories have been stretched a litte bit...

[@lechengli3204]

see,video games tend to be assholes when it comes to NPC levels and items,from early leveling to not having enough strenght to being overwieght

[@Wylade]

so we're going to accept that NPCs are magic and can make pokemon evolve faster, but not that Garys team is only 5 pokemon for balance reasons?

[@Remiyia]

But then again, at the nugget bridge battle, his starter is Level 17 and it still hasn't evolved yet. There is also the chance that he could've cancelled the evolution, but I doubt he would for whatever reason, since if he was waiting to get a move earlier which would be Scary Face/Rapid Spin/Razor Leaf (Charmander/Squirtle/Bulbasaur, all learned at Level 19), they still get that move, just 1 or 2 levels later after evolving. They're also in my opinion not that good/helpful since this isn't really including competitive play. His starter doesn't evolve till the next time you see him on the S.S. Anne, which is then Level 20, which then if he chose Bulbasaur OR Squirtle, then they would have Rapid Spin or Razor Leaf since those are learned at level 20 after evolving into Ivysaur/Wartortle, but not Scary Face if he picked Charmander, since Charmeleon learns that at level 21.

[@rockwitharms7455]

+Wylade I believe he set Raticate free/abandoned it because in the anime he abandons a Caterpie because it's too weak. And because Raticate is weaker than Exeggutor, he abandoned Raticate.

[@cyanrose0712]

Let me disprove this theory real quick: The level 16 Raticate that can’t be the same actually can be. We have seen under leveled Pokémon before; most famous being Lance and his 3 under leveled Dragonites. The next thing I want to say is: why is Blue in a cemetery, saying you didn’t bury your Pokémon when he challenges you there? The next piece of evidence I want to provide is that the Trainers don’t know they are in a game, meaning they don’t see levels like we do, at least that we know of. Another I want you to check is if it’s nature and ability are the same, it’s 90% that they are the same Pokémon. All my evidence disproving this theory.

Plus him being bad in the beginning was kind of the point, so he could idk... IMPROVE AND GET BETTER! From the Indigo League to Diamond and Pearl, Ash progressively got better. Then B&W happened.

you answered everything except for the most important question; why is gary in the lavender town tower? when he sees you, he even says "what are you doing here? YOUR pokemon arent dead!" this puts some heavy implication that he's there because of a dead pokemon. i stand by the theory that gary's raticate died. he doesnt treat his pokemon with as much love and respect as red, so maybe he forced rattatta to evolve early somehow, to try to make him stronger. but the early evolution put too much stress on him and in the end, it couldnt hold out. instead of feinting, like a healthy pokemon would've done, gary's rattatta dies

Considering that Gary comments how he has 40 Pokemon at this point in the game, its possible that one of any of his other 35 that weren't used in battle had died and he was bringing it to the cemetery.
