Pokemon Headcanons to Cure Your Boredom

[@Gerardo-is5uo]

(1) The Pokemon school Rose enrolled Bede in was Naranja/Uva Academy in Paldea but he ended up being the ringleader of the students bullying Team Star and dropped out after being confronted. (2) Penny used her 18 months “studying abroad” in Galar to join the Gym Challenge and face Bede but made it all the way to the Pokemon League without knowing he was disqualified. She competed anyway and was actually the unknown trainer Hop beat in the semi finals. Which is why her Pokemon are already Geeta level when we fight her.

Most of my headcanons have to do with the origins of Legendaries: 1. Regirock was the first Regi created by Regigigas, on accident when Regigigas was feeling lonely and started stacking rocks. After realising that it could create life, it got really excited and made the other four. 2. When life first began, Xerneas hated Yveltal, but overtime has grown to recognise that death is an important part of life, and now respects Yveltal as an equal and perhaps a friend. 3. Giratina's original purpose was to fill the new Universe made by Dialga and Palkia with matter and energy. The 'act of violence' that got it banished was the creation of antimatter.

[@AutumnBlaze689]

This feels like it could naturally integrate into any Pokémon legends game for these specific regions. So like the Kalos version is about how Xerneas and Yveltal’s hatred of one another kinda causing chaos around Ancient Kalos

My headcanon is that in Galar, Bea acts like Alisters older sister. She helped motivate him to become a strong trainer so he could defend himself from bullies instead of Bea having to help him every time. Now they're best friends who share a gym and change who leads it twice a year. Its just really inconvenient to swap out all the decorations though.

Here's one I just came up with: You know how some Shinies have changed over the years? For example that Charizard had a Barney colored Shiny back in gen 2. Here in our world it's because GameFreak just wanted to give the most populair Pokémon at the time some more attention. But I think that In-Universe it's the doing of Palkia and Dialga being bored and just betting on who can do the craziest thing with their powers. Like: "Hey Dialga, I bet that I can just change Charizard's Shiny and no one would notice"

A few headcanons: 1. Volkner and Flint play video games and eat pizza while debating whose type is better, before getting angry and eventually both just pass out on the couch. 2. Professor Juniper occasionally checks up on the b/w trio acting as an aunt of some kind. 3. Clemont and Sophocles message each other about machines, games, memes and their experiences being electric type gym leaders. 4. Proffesor Kukui became the masked royal because he thought he would be able to fight pokemon and test their moves, and after figuring it out decided to just keep doing it for fun. 5. If Hau and Hop ever meet they would be the best of friends.

[@eropoke]

My headcannons are: 1. Some trainers record their battle themes with lyrics by juno songs but when a battle starts their normal battle themes play because of copyright. 2. Peacharunt was a peach that had toxins injected into it by scientists and then a now extinct species of pokemon ate it and became peacharunt.

Couple headcannons of mine that are connected: 1) Trainers have their own abilities like pokemon do. And these abilities effect how they raise their pokemon. Nurses and Doctors have an ability to auto-heal pokemon fully (apart of why pokecenters are free to use), Breeders have abilities that make Egg finding easier, or something like flame body that speeds up the process of hatching them, Fishermen have something similar to suction cups that boosts or guarantees that they can always get a pokemon on their fishing line.... and we can probably go on and on for each trainer class, so I'll leave one that here. 2) For most trainers, their pokemon loose exp over time if not getting trained regularly, hence why some trainer's pokemon can be a lower level when you face them at latter points (Like Gehstis, that one Flare scientist, that Pikachu elder from Coloseum and XD, ect.)... why is this not effected in gameplay? well.... 3) For the player characters, they all have the ability to make it so that pokemon their own don't loose exp over time, which is apart of why they can level up faster then normal (less things slowing them down) and why they seem like such prodigies to everyone around them... training pokemon is literally easier for them then it is everyone else.

One of my headcanons is that when Shauntal can’t think of anything to write, she sneaks into Caitlin’s room and uses Dream Eater or something to steal her ideas, because Caitlin is a super wild dreamer. And once the book is done, Caitlin thinks Shauntal is a genius for making a book that “coincidentally” had the same premise as her dream.

[@theangrycolossal]

My personal headcanons for some of the gym leaders: -There never was some 'Pokemon War' and Lt. Surge never saw combat, it's a kayfabe personality he puts on to look cool for challengers. -Volkner accidentally causes blackouts in Sunyshore fairly frequently, but the city gently puts up with him because they remember what happened the last time they were too hard on the weird kid who liked machines -As mining professionals, Clay and Byron are probably business partners and friends.

I also think that before they went to Alola, they traveled to a bunch of other regions so thats why they were also in Unova for the PWC. 2. With enough practice and being around Pokemon, trainers could learn how to understand them. However, it is really difficult. Thats why N understands Pokemon because he was raised by them and learned to communicate with them. 3. Iono frequently receives sponsors so she often give the sponsors out to small creators. She also gets a load of sponsors from Tulip’s Make-up business as she is the easiest to reach out to.

Larry actually likes his jobs as both a Gym Leader and Elite Four member, but HATES Geeta. 3. Team Star has a joint Discord server, and the only ones who're admins aside from the Bosses and Penny are Youssef (Atticus' compadre), Harrington (Ortega's butler) Carmine (Eri's friend). 4. Iono has Pepe-like emotes, but it's Bellibolt instead. 5. Kieran has willingly tried Pecharunt's toxic mochi, and felt nothing. 6. After the events of The Way Home, Arven registered his Mabostiff as an Emotional Support Pokemon for PTSD. 7. Nemona treats her butlers and housemaids like they're family. 8. Penny is EXTREMELY jealous of Chase/Elaine's (Let's GO Protagonist) Partner Eevee, and has bribed them with thousands worth of LP, but doesn't know that Kanto doesn't accept LP as legal currency. 9. Crispin got his frying pan from Lacey, and still hasn't mustered up the courage to ask her out since. 10. Drayton was the one to first discover Duraludon's evolution into Archaludon by showing his then Duralodon a fancy piece of scrap he found.

Headcanon: Some Pokemon trainers have scars / bandaids. Example being Korrina / any fighting type gym leader or Alain (Because of what happened in the anime.) Korrina would have bandaids everywhere on her, because I feel like she'd skate a lot then bump into something / someone. Lisia also has scratches but she hides it under her arm warmers / idol outfit sleeves / whatever its called. She has them from trying out Mega Evolution for the first time, then it backfires. Other headcanon: Trainers who use Mega Evolution have a subtle eye color change. For Steven, it glows a bit yellow like his manga counterpart. And Diantha, it has more of a lilac shade. Its only there after years of using the gimmick, unlike Ash or Cynthia who just started it. (Ash Greninja kind of counts? I mean like continuous use of Mega Evolution, and since Ash stopped using it, he doesn't get the cool eye color change.)

[@Nolongerquiet]

Funny thing is the Brycen retireing got expanded on in masters ex literally today in the Grusha event. Brycen was originally an actor, was injured because of a stunt he did. Becuase of his injury, he gave up on acting and became a gym leader. Working with his mentor and his pokemon as a gym leader he was able to return to acting. After acknowledging his faliures and seeing he still had things to learn and because of the support he got from his gym team and the people around him, he was able to return to acting full time. All of this is from when both Brycen and Pryce talk to Grusha about his path after Malva brings up his snowboarding career which he feels is completely taken from him and now he has to be a gym leader while also simultaniously feeling frustrated after lossing to a couple of different trainers (including the S/V player) and that that dream is completely gone.

My personal headcanon is that Lt. Surge isn't from Kanto. He's from Alola. Here's my reasons why. 1. His sign outside of his gym describes him as "American" and considering the Kanto region is based off of actual Kanto in real life, which is in Japan, this already implies that he isn't from here. 2. The Alolan and Unovan regions are both based on parts of America, so there's already two regions were he originally hail from. I personally believe Alola to be the case due to how popular Pikachu is in that region, what with surfing Pikachu and Alolan Raichu and all and surge uses a Raichu in every on of his teams when you battle him, so he probably really likes the Pikachu line as well. 3. Also he's buff, and the Alola region is full of muscular guys and gals.

[@OtisCluck]

Also there’s the Kantonian Gym in Malie City that’s literally just Lt. Surge’s gym

[@TowerofAvalon1]

I have a few headcannons 1- Hop often uses Wooloo as a pillow, and has done so since he was a child. It’s come to the point where Hop has difficulty sleeping with regular pillows and needs Wooloo to sleep, like a pillow pet. 2- I didn’t come up with this one but I felt it needed to be heard. Kids are taught about Pokémon types and type matchups in school like it’s the periodic table, it would probably be the same as science class. 3- All the Pokemon protagonists have the same ability as N, which is why they know what moves a Pokemon has and the HUD in general, as well as tell when a Pokemon wants to learn a new move. 4- The people in the Pokemon world are built different compared to the ones in our world, they constantly survive because electrocuted, set on fire and bodied by everything, even children have survived this stuff from what we’ve seen from the anime. I like this headcannon especially because it makes the Pokémon world less scary, because people can just casually survive most of the dangerous Pokemon with minor damage. I really hope my headcannons make it to the next video, but if not then that’s fine too, but I’m still hoping.

[@AdrieneTheDarkestHorse]

These are all true and you cannot change my mind

[@lyanbs4770]

My Headcanon might sound a bit grim at first, but I genuinely see it in a wholesome light: Nemona's arm isn't actually braced, but instead it's a prosthetic that her family commissioned for her after some sort of accident that caused her to loose it when she was younger. But! Because Nemona is Nemona, she doesn't think of it as a big deal and even deliberately takes her prosthetic off to show people while being all like "Eh? Eh!? Pretty cool right?!" (Also, that's how I think Arven "met" her, since the professor was probably the one to make the prosthetic)

[@giraffegirl1691]

Thanks so much for making these. They really do bring me joy. To explain that last one, the reason Barry is often associated with honey is because of the dumb honey tree mechanic in gen 4. You can put honey on a tree and if you come back 6 hours later you MIGHT find a sorta rareish pokemon. But Barry has a Heracross AND a Munchlax which can only be found through the honey trees and the chances are SUPER low. So either Barry has a lot more patience than he lets on, he is stupidly lucky, or he really has a thing for honey. Again, I love these videos thank you for making them.

[@GoldLight73]

A somewhat silly headcanon I have is that after the Ultra Beast invasion in Alola, people eventually start making products based on them. I can totally see Buzzwole energy drinks, Nihilego hats and even Xerkitree Christmas trees for the holidays.

A pretty dumb headcanon I just came up with: the switches in Vermilion Gym constantly change their location, because some diglett from diglett's cave right below the city have tunneled themselves all the way through the gym floor and they want to mess with trainers as revenge, because trainers who struggle / fail at the gym keep going down to the cave to catch their friends.

[@VerdantRange]

Here's a few: 1. It takes a lot longer for Pokémon to heal at the center than what we see in the game, and the cut to black is so the trainer can go to the bathroom, shower, etc. 2. PokéStar Studios is the Pokémon World's version of Cannon Films, doing multiple productions simultaneously while being dirt cheap. 3. Cynthia is only allowed in certain parts of Unova because she's considered a threat to the Vanillite line's survival. 4. Smeargle are banned in Galar for painting over the ancient mural in Stow-on-Side. 5. A version of Ash exists in the games timeline, leaving Pallet after Red/Blue/Green, ending up with a spare Pikachu and is much less well known in the games than his anime counterpart. 6. If a Smeargle uses Fly, it does so by spinning its tail like a helicopter.

[@haruhitomaeda4802]

Smeargle would also spin its tail when swimming to propel itself like a motorboat, but doing so would leave a colorful trail of paint behind them.

[@JCardo2502]

Given that about half the trainers most protagonists fight are the evil team grunts, I head-canon this is the reason the protagonists get so strong so quickly - they effectively fight twice as many trainers as other trainers their age do

I have a head canon that when Kieran was younger he used to draw nothing but ogerpon and hang them in his room and he would make other stuff like figures out of stuff he finds such as wood or clay or at least try to and even write stories about meeting ogerpon and he would also get real embarrassed about it if anyone actually saw them especially Carmine. And after you show up and take ogerpon he switches over to drawing his hydrapple instead

[@fnafbendyranger123x]

One head canon for the Tao dragons is that shortly after their separation, reshiram and zekrom were shocked to their predicament, and tried to bring themselves back together in any shape or form, but as time went on and the original brothers passed, they started to see each other as not two fractured halves but newly formed brothers who were able to pursue their own destinies, even hugged after the battle with N. Unfortunately Kyrum didn’t think this way and instead forced the two other dragons back together, eventually managing to fuse with one of them, which left them traumatized by kyrum’s chaotic power, and soon drove Kyrum away into the giant’s chasm, eventually teaming up with Ghestis to get their revenge. Another is that the ultimate weapon works in both ways being able to revive or destroy everything around it, but requires both xerneus and yvelta in order to be at full power otherwise it would become unstable, also while the legendaries prevented the team flare admins from calling for backup but in two different ways, xerneus put them all to sleep while yevelta straight up drained them to the bone of their life force. I also imagine that yevelta behaves like death in puss in boots 2, relishing in the pain and suffering of its victims.

[@zeroknight1311]

A few headcanons; The Fan games are canon to the Pokemon Multiverse. With the ones which introduce new mechanic, regions and pokemon being a bit far from the main game/anime timeline due to how different they are. An example of this is Pokemon Infinite Fusion due to how drastically different the world is thanks to the fusion technology. The events of Pokemon Ranger Shadow of Alima are kept classified and are only known by those who are allowed to know. Such as Champions, Select Gym Leaders and people like Looker. And it makes sense with how a lot of that information would have to be kept secret to avoid criminals from making an attempt to do the same thing on a larger scale. And finally, thanks to a comic, Ingo eventually got sent back to the future due to a time space disortion and reunited with his brother. Soon recounting what he had experienced during his time in the Hisui region. Yes this also does work with the headcanon that Ingo is just repressing everything and everyone just assumes he has amnesia.

[@alpagala7188]

Here are some of my headcanon 1. The reason elio and seline have that blank gaze is because they went through a traumatizing event when they were little and they are always in stress and worried but they put on a blank expression to make everyone feel at ease bot there's a lot more that goes on under that expression 2. The elite 4 member Bruno often gives money to Pokemon shelters and visits them on his holidays to check up on them 3. The reason Giovanni sends Jessie James and Mewoth on dangerous missions is cause he wants to get rid of them

[@BlueSodaFox]

The one about Elio and Selene reminds me of Espurr and how it puts on that blank stare to try and control its psychic powers.

Got a headcanon for ya: After you beat Legends Arceus, Arceus insures that you'll always be reincarnated alongside the Pokémon you've caught and bonded with and that your partner is always destined to meet you as the next starter you pick for your next journey in your new life. This also explains why catching Pokémon comes so easily to us and why some Pokémon can be critically caught. It's simply because these were the new incarnations of our old Pokémon just in another region and at a different time. (Mainly got this 1 from the lady in SV that gives you special Rotom phone cases if you have save data from other games on it.)

[@Cure-Skywalker]

1. My headcanon about why NPCs have less pokemon is unlike the player who has video game rules everyone else has to take care of their Pokemon like we do pets. Feeding and maintaining and the physical, emotional and mental needs of 6 super animals is extremely hard. 2. Elesa and the subway twins are actually triplets. Elesa being fraternal while Ingonand Emmet are identical. 3. There is a Mickey Mouse equivalent in the World of Pokemon. Danny Dedenne. Disney tried to copyright real Dedenne wearing red pants.

When it comes to my player charater, whenever she leaves a region after becoming champion her hall of fame party stays behind and deals with all of the responsibilities of being the champion. Or the previous champion stays and she keeps her entry in the hall of fame. 3. A small thing from some of my Pokemon in SV, my Meowscarada (His name is Scavi) loves acting like a tv host.

[@thedarknight307]

Headcanons 1. All the Champions secretly work with the International Police either investigating teams, befriends the pokemon or investigates the region itself. We see the champions get involved a lot with the main story or have some involvement. Lance keeps watch of evil teams, Steven investigates Hoenn's past, Cythia investigates Sinnoh's past, Alder helps fight team Plasma, Diantha and her close relationship with Lysandre, Leon takes care of rogue pokemon, Geeta is heavily involved with many aspects of Paldea and keeps her eyes on any trainers with great potential. The reason why they don’t say anything is because their involvement is secret. And the reason why the protagonist doesn’t get told this is because they’re too young 2. Carmine and Nemona secretly fight over you. Whenever they meet the two get rivalry vibes and have a intense battle(Nemona always wins obviously). Penny and Kieran just facepalm during the entire battle, and Arven might egg them on(But thinks he is your super best friend) 3. The reason why Penny is in Paldea is to keep her safe from Rose. Peony is shown to be very loving and protective of her based on Penny’s comments. He knows Penny is skilled with computers and hacking and that her uncle would use her for that. Peony sent her to Paldea to keep her away from Rose, even though it pains him to do that. Also when she was being bullied he wanted to square up on everyone who hurt his little girl. But sending her away was mainly done to Keep her away from Rose, and when she came back to Galar he kept a close eye on her again because of Rose

Personally, I think the reason people don't have teams of 6 is because it is difficult to take care of 6 animals at once.

The reason why Minior never fade to dust in game is because wild Minior are so carefree that they barely even perceive their “deaths,” but when they have a trainer, they have a reason to fight against disintegration. They manage this through moves like Psychic and Cosmic Power. 3. Some Minior shatter into star dust mid-battle only to reform later to both get the drop on the opponent, and to do a little trolling on people that don’t know Minior physiology. 4. The Pokémon world has an HP Lovecraft equivalent, and “The Color Out of Space” was based on an encounter with a shiny Minior.
