Maxie and Archie, I'm genuinely not sure how she'd react. Cyrus probably would have it be on-sight considering how Team Galactic treats Barry, can't imagine she'd feel too good about her friends getting picked on. I would genuinely get a kick out of N and Nemona getting to keep running into each other, I can probably imagine she'd ask if he had fun after their first battle, and he'd likely be confused to some degree.

[@seineevee]

I have a few headcanons! - The Scarlet/Violet protags (Florian/Juliana) see each other in their game counterpart uniforms when they look in the mirror. At one point, they realize they can talk to each other. - The PLA protagonist is the professor’s assistant in DPPT. (Bonus: I see Dawn/Akari as the PLA protag/Professor’s assistant) - The Kalos Queen in the anime acts as a sort of political figure beyond performances and press - After Ash’s run in the anime, he and his mom live in Pallet Town half the year and with Professor Kukui the other half - The BW protag counterpart you meet in the Battle Subway used to live in Nuvema, so which character is the protagonist depends on whether their parents decided to move or not. - The Battle Subway counterpart is also the older sibling of the BW2 protagonist, and occasionally visits them in Aspertia. - Mallow takes a cross-continental journey to explore the variety of regional dishes and it inspires her to learn about the other regions’ cultures. - The Pokespe dexholders (especially the younger ones, ESPECIALLY Sun and Shield) take bets as to which region will have a world-ending catastrophe which needs to be prevented by new Dexholders next. White participated once as a joke and got both the disaster and the region correct. - Megastones and Keystones act as a sort of regulator or conductor for bond energy, making Mega Evolutions generally less painful. - To add to my last one, the reason Ash and Greninja had such a difficult time regulating their Ash-Greninja form was because they didn’t have Mega or key stones. It’s like shooting a hundred bolts of lightning with no direction. - On the same vein of thought, Mega Evolution is only painful if there’s a disconnect in emotions between trainer and Pokémon. Part of the reason it was deemed unsafe/harmful in the gameverse is because the XY games let the protag Mega Evolve their Pokémon regardless of friendship or affection levels. - (Based off Swamp 151’s headcanon in the video) Starters are specially bred, and there’s often not enough for each new trainer, so many will choose to go without. Priority goes to people living nearby a regional professor’s lab. I wrote a lot 😅

[@CaptainObliviousV]

I completely agree with your mega evolution points. Given the info we have, I’ve always viewed the bond and side effects as two sides of the same coin. It’s perfectly demonstrated in the XY anime too with Korrina’s Lucario. It does make me wonder though, did the anime inspire the side effect portion of the lore or was that always intended but they didn’t know how to express/implement it in the games at the time for some reason? Also, I can see Blake trying to stop the betting and by the time Henry and Casey join he places a stack of bills in front of Sun with a note stating whatever will end up happening when SV starts.

[@Ninjacat429]

I think it would definitely be a fun idea for the two protags in S&V to talk to each other through a mirror, knowing that they both live in different worlds. I also think it would be cool if Hikari/Dawn were to be the new assistant in PLA to prof. Laventon. I've had the same idea in that she does since she doesn't find a way home because a certain Space Llama was a jerk and didn't let her go home. I also agree with the mega evolution statement. Q

[@jorgegonzalezavila9376]

Your Legends Arceus headcanon is actually as far from actual canon as it can be, funnily enough. In Masters, it's confirmed that the canon protagonists are Dawn and Rei, and none of the four are related to each other, as far as they know.

[@Grimmjowluver123]

I have a random little headcanon or four: 1) Part of the reason Rose sponsored Leon was because Leon reminded him of, not only himself, but of Peony. And Rose, wanting that connection again, ends up attempting to replace Peony with Leon. Intentional or not. I’m thinking of turning this into a post series, but I think it’s a fun/interesting thought. 2) Not starting off as a headcanon, I can see Lance wanting to take Silver under his wing, not only for his potential, but because he wants to give Silver a stable home. Knowing that Silver is Giovanni’s son and was essentially abandoned by him, Lance wants to help Silver by giving him stability and someone to confide in. I also feel that Lance would feel connected to Silver because Lance and Giovanni had gifts due to them being born in Viridian Forest. And Silver most likely have inherited those gifts, so Lance feels less alone in the world. 3) Raihan raised Goomy because he loves them and will gift his gym trainers with one before they leave. He also always carries one with him and his Goodra is a total helicopter parent. 4) Leon and Cynthia are actually good friends and Leon will visit her when he visits Sinnoh. Cynthia also knows all of the best ice cream parlors and Leon definitely got lost in the Distortion World at least once.

Pokemon works on a sort of synergy. Some people work better with pokemon, and others work better with specific types. That's why there are so many type specialists, because some people can train just one type better. It also explains why most people don't have full teams, they can't use pokemon as well, at least not as many. On the other side, that makes the champions and more specifically the Protagonists, prodigies, because they can train any and all pokemon and do it extremely quickly (exp share).

I think Cogita insinuates the head canon about the Legendaries. She says that humans will die and the legend will move on. I’m inclined to believe that Cogita was saying exactly what that head canon is.

[@kylajensen1957]

I have a headcanon that's a full-on story in the making, revolving around N's mother. 1) N's mother has the ability to speak to Pokemon as well. It's an inherited ability (there's a chance if N had children they could do it too) 2) she was manipulated by Ghetsis too. I once imagined an entire story where it was a whole SpottedleafxThistleclaw scenario (if you know, you know) and hecka toxic but she was too young to realize it until it was too late to back out. That leads directly into theory 3) N's mother tried to escape with N, only being able to hide him in the woods before Ghetsis caught her and got rid of her. Or, alternatively, Ghetsis quietly disposed of her after she'd had a son with her gift, then left N in the woods to ensure he was proficient at using this inherited gift before Ghetsis began training him to be king.

[@tirzahroseroot]

I love this headcanon!

@@OctoAgent3 I am SO glad I'm not the only one who thinks that! I have a couple of Real World AU fanfictions (where Pokemon aren't involved) where Ghetsis is a televangelist and Team Plasma is his fundamentalist cult bc he totally WOULD start a cult if it got him what he wanted.

Also, since you seem interested, a few tiny headcanons I didn't mention attached to the above: N's mother is from Paldea, and her name was Katarina, but Ghetsis pressured her to change it to Catherine bc it was more "Unovan" and it was another way to assert control over her.

[@themoagoddess1820]

three of my headcanons: 1. Ash is perpetually ten years old, because whenever his age is mentioned the timeline was shifted and compressed such that he's ten whenever him being ten years old gets mentioned. and Ash is retiring as the show's main character because Dialga is tired. 2. The time machine in Area Zero really works as a time machine, but the pokemon pulled through it evolve into paradox pokemon like a trade evolution depending on which direction the time machine was set to in that timeline. 3. Tandemaus and Maushold are actually the dust mites of Paldea, the two we see as Tandemaus are just the swarm pooling their strength into two battle ready individuals to get them to normal pokemon size (which is why Tandemaus must level up through battle to evolve, the swarm doesn't see the need to provide reinforcements without battle).

[@rells2311]

Headcanon: Nemona is neurodivergent Not sure how common this thought process is, but her being completely hyperfixated on battling honestly makes me feel seen and like I'm not alone in obsessing over things I really like

[@The_Darke_Lorde]

Also, the headcanon about Pokémon being picky and doing a test fight before being caught could explain why you can't catch Pokémon after they faint, despite the easier way out. They don't like that, explain it away as luck, and escape as soon as they can. This happened so much after PLA that it's now common sense to let a fainted Pokémon lie to be healed by other wild Pokémon and attempt to hurt a Pokémon enough to become low, but not faint.

[@royaloverlord1987]

I have a few headcannons mostly based on Masters. 1. Red and Ethan have a sort of older brother younger brother relationship. I like to imagine that they're so close, many people mistake them for being related, and neither of them correct anyone. 2. Silver, Gladion, and N all occasionally talk to each other about their parental issues, this eventually turned into a club where anyone with parental issues could join. 3. Archie sometimes watches over Tate and Liza, and the twins call him Uncle Archie. that's all

I have a headcanon that wild Pokémon imitate humans, or Pokémon owned by trainers. I can just imagine wild Pokémon all getting together in the middle of a forest, bringing berries of all types, like a festival of some sorts. Just imagine a Gengar talking to his friend Garchomp well roasting a citrus berry over a fire a Delphox made, Or a Haxorus sharpening a log to look like a beer mug, Or perhaps a Gardevoir talking to best bud Hatterene about how the kids are doing. The reason why they do this? To make them look smarter. I mean, humans have pushed their society forward in such a big way, they’re able to capture God. Why wouldn’t Pokémon want to be like them?

Ok the thought of that makes me smile

[@theknightwithabadpictotall7639]

(Don't bother with the username, KZbin decided that now it's too big for some reason) Here are 3 of my own headcanons: - After the stuff that happened with Volo in Legends: Arceus, Giratina realized its mistakes and took off to become a better Pokémon. That's why, in Platinum, it was against Cyrus instead of with him. - When the Pokémon world first became habitable, Arceus created Mew as a sort of Adam and Eve. There were many of them, and then they eventually went on to evolve into different Pokémon (like, irl evolution, not Pokémon) since their DNA is so diverse. But a few of them still remain unevolved today, hence how we can still rarely find them. - In the wild, Pokémon can evolve as needed without being restricted by levels or friendship, explaining the underleveled Pokémon such as the level 25 Volcarona in B2W2 or wild friendship evolutions like Leavanny in rustling grass in some areas of Unova.

[@toriori553]

While not a headcanon, more like something that would be nice to see more often in the games is NPC trainer classes like Lass or Beauty having nicknames on their Pokémon. Even Johto’s gym leader Jasmine nicknamed her Steelix, but only in Performing Contests. Seeing more trainers nicknaming their Pokémon would make the player feel less alone or bizarre in nicknaming their own.

[@DecoyAnimates]

My headcanon is that Red is really a chill guy who was way too good at pokemon, so he just needs a hug

[@dreammareshine]

I have an odd headcanon when it comes to the version exclusive gym leaders of Galar, more specifically Allistor and Bea. Though i did make this concept as more OC Parallels being opposite gender twins when i first made it. ~Unlike Melonie and Gordie there isn't a clear explaination of their existance in the other game. ~ It goes off the idea of each game being a different universe. ~ I headcanon they have a different goal in the other game: ~Allister in the sword universe never got in the position to become the gym leader he is in the Shield universe. Instead Allister has a goal to befriend or catch all ghost types and possibly travels to different regions to obtain that goal. ~Bea has taken more of an interest in training herself and her fighting type pokemon possibly to take on the gym challenge instead of being a gym leader herself or just to be an ultimate fighting type trainer. Training in isolate areas similar to the place she was training in her Twilight Wings episode.

[@sparkyentertainmentstudios2380]

I have 2 head cannons that I think work really well 1. Whenever the main protagonist story ends (aka when you stop playing the games and the story continues) you releases all your captured legendarys back to the wild to continue protecting the region or pokemon. This explains why red doesn't have the mewtwo you caught as he released it and how you can find mewtwo in different places. 2. All trainers in the pokemon anime as well as the games that use a legendary pokemon (not including legendarys that have multiples of each other such as the regi trio as regigigas most likely created multiple for different regions) are all dittos that have seen the legendarys roaming and have forgotten how to transform back explaining why legendarys used by trainers in the anime arnt as powerful as the real ones

My head canon is that Geeta knows she is a weak Champion, which is why she structured the Paldea League to make it so that no one can dethrone her as “Top Champion” and thus devaluing the accomplishment of becoming Champion. Most Champions are perfectly fine with stepping down when they lose, but not her. She spends all of her free time inspecting the gyms to constantly keep tabs on the gym leaders to ensure none of them are strong enough to challenge her so that she can cling to power, and she especially is hard on Larry (making the man work as an Elite 4 member and gym leader in addition to his office job) because Larry is on to her BS as a toxic boss. The gym leaders don’t like her because she treats the Pokémon league like a business, a business that doesn’t pay its employees very well when the Gym Leaders are more committed to their side gigs and hobbies than actually being gym leaders.

My headcanon is Ash is hiding how smart he actually is and openly had terrible performance anxiety. His dad or his parents friends shared stories about their own journeys with Ash. So he feels like he has to compare to those people. In Alola and the WCS none of them were able to do either. So Ash finally didn't have that anxiety pressuring him and was finally able to put his skills to the test. Allowing him to become Alola's first Champion and World Champion since neither his parents or his parents friends ever had to do that. Goh is being watched by Mew. Mew finds Goh's declaration of being caught by Goh amusing. Suicune watched Goh as well and realized how lonely he was but also how kind. Which is why Suicune allowed itself to be captured. Ash and Goh after some time away return to the Cerise Laboratory and resume working as Research Fellows. Paradox Pokemon aren't actual Pokemon. They were what could have been if certain Evil Teams won. Thus the term Paradox. Professor Sada and Professor Turo are married. Both are alive just being kept in a sort of Stasis by an Evil Team who believe they are the source of the Paradox Pokemon when it's the result of the Machine. Legendaries can take on human disguises and walk around among humans. Mew and Celebi are the ones who do this more often. Arceus, is very rare as he does not enjoy leaving the Hall of Origins. Giratina is a fan of Piers' music and begs Arceus to revive him a Legendary after the end of his human lifespan. Ash's Lucario is the reincarnation of Sir Aaron's Lucario as some people speculate the 'Chosen One' is the reincarnation of Sir Aaron.

this started from art i saw a while ago and it's stuck with me ever since: Wes and Volkner are brothers (or are at the very least closely related). making weird mechanical projects runs in the family, whether it's rewiring an entire city or building a hover motorcycle. they would drive each other nuts if they tried to make something as a team at this point though. (also aaaa i didn't expect to be in the video!! i still love the racing idea. additional dumb masters HC, people have mixed up roark and silver before, usually if roark's not wearing his glasses in the mornings. the moment one of them talks it's clear who it really is.)

[@doccavs723]

In pokemon Gold/Silver/HG/SS, we get to see how Silver grow as a trainer and as a person even seeing own a Crobat at one point. In special event Celebi in that game, we get to see what Giovanni was doing during the time he was being contacted by Team Rocket to get him to join again. Even though we, the protagonist ultimately stopped Giovanni into reconsidering to join Team Rocket, I always feel that it was Silver who interacted with his father and finally stopped Giovanni into ever joining back to Team Rocket. So in a sense, Silver was also there when Celebi took the protagonist to the past.

[@TangyNav]

This is a bit embarassing, but ever since I was a kid, I’ve had this head cannon that when Pokémon go inside their pokéballs, the inside of the ball transforms into a home that the Pokémon would consider comfortable. It’s cuz I’d feel bad if it was just a cold metal sphere. Also, because of Pokémon ranch, I have a head cannon that when Pokémon are put into the PC boxes, they get transported to a big lush open farm that they can play on (also because I’d feel bad if they were just completely digitalized and stuck doing nothing, while still being conscious).

My headcannon is that Nemona is depressed. Being a bit dramatic, but i believe there might be more to her bubbly, friendly, battle-crazed personality than we give it credit for. At a young age, she became the student council president, is the top student, and is a champion, this leads to kids kinda fearing getting too close to her, like how the team star grunts in front of the school were afraid when Nemona showed up. Nemona also talks to you and teachers behind closed off areas mostly for adults and rarely interacts with other trainers, inclusing strong ones like Arven and Penny. She's also the rich daughter who's father is on the board of the company that makes the rotom phone. Nemona is intimidating to those who know her, leading to her wanting to make friends with those who don't know her for her accomplishments or her status, rather as a friend on an equal level to her, as to why she decided to restart her journey for the player character.

Alright, its comment time! I got a few headcanons of my own I'd love to share! 1.) Gladion is a HUGE fan of Piers. 2.) All the towns and cities are actually bigger than they appear to be in game like the anime all just for the game's sake of not being too large. 3.) The canon protagonist in Ruby, Saphire, and Emerald is Brendan while in Omega Ruby and Alpha Saphire, its May. This is all because of the mother's hair color. Its lighter in ORAS than RSE like May's hair.

The twin (middle name Gloria) is our lovable drunk we get in fan comics who has a Scottish accent and lives with their dad.

[@anotheranonymousalliterator]

On the topic of the anime’s insane events, I have a headcanon that the anime is a sort of his friends retelling their journeys with him. That’s why Ash has “retcons” because every season is told by a different friends or group of friends. Brock and Misty saw him mature from a newbie trainer trying too hard to be cool, shown by his hat turns and general overconfidence. May and Dawn saw him as a good friend with more experience than them, leading to their perception of Ash sort of mentoring them in battling. Iris saw him as “a kid” and overexaggerates his childlike personality by remembering him as dumber and less capable than he actually is. Serena sees him as a cool, experienced trainer who can do anything, exaggerating his power and skill as a trainer. The Alolan crew remember his talent and skill at battling and food, which is why he becomes more childlike but maintains his battling skills. Gosh remembers Ash in a “first friend” perspective while also being astonished at Ash’s battling capabilities.

[@wintersong2266]

She is prepared for every possible thing, and her bag is always stuffed full to the brim because of it.

[@lipflub]

These two headcannons are based on relationships between pokemon species that are mentioned in dex entries - I like to imagine Hippowdons with Mulitple Dwebbles stop near berry trees and have a family meal (Hippowdon's Sw/Sh entry) - I imagine Snovers enjoy giving it's berries to Galarian Darumakas because it likes to make pokemon happy, and it feels bad for them once the Abomasnows scare them away (Not sure which entry this is but it's most likely Snover's/G. Darumaka's Sw/Sh entry)

[@Sandtperson02]

One head canon I have is that the protagonist of every game is stuck in a time loop that repeats every time they lose a battle. When losing and going to battle again the npc never remembers battling you in the first place. Another headcanon I have is that missing no was Arceus’ first attempt at creating a Pokémon and it failed. Mew, Dialga,Palkia,and Girratina were it’s first SUCCESSFUL attempts. Missingno still lurks in the world without anyone knowing about it.

[@theserpent8667]

Let's see: Leon is a hilariously bad dancer, but Raihan, Steven, Diantha and Lance are excellent. Lance eats red lobster and chips. Cynthia bakes good muffins. There are more Mega Stones out there that we've not found yet. In the anime, atk/sp atk and def/sp def are just attack and defence.

[@dethiamthelaw1353]

Since I’ve begun running back the older titles with more challenging rulesets, I’ve come up with a theory, those who play with Nuzlocke rules are using their Pokémon as a means to an end, like chess pieces in a game. They’re not concerned with completing the dex, they’re not concerned with the side characters, or even their bonds with other Pokémon unless there’s a benefit to increasing friendship. Pokémon that faint in battle get cast aside for failing their trainer. Everyone sees these protagonists as heroes, but in reality, nuzlocke protags are absolute sociopaths who will do anything for the sake of a challenge/thrill, anything for a high stakes game.

[@icecoldkremit]

I have 1 mainly: The reason all the legendaries are spread across multiple regions is because long ago the most ancient ones (those that can create stuff) got into a literal civil war. It stemmed between Groudon and Kyogre getting into a fight and Groudon just losing it. The battle decimated the whole world and the other legendaries began trying to defend their creations resulting in more conflict. In the aftermath, the world would be left in ruin with the legendaries still fighting. Arceus and the creation trio, who would've stayed far away from the war, decide that they need to just start over. In order to do this, Arceus created regigagas. Not one regigigas, but many. The regigigas would basically act as assassins, creating the other regis to aid the in hunting down the other legends. Groudon and kyogre were sealed away as a result of the chaos. Eventually, Giratina would decide to fight back against the regis and though it would succeed in destroying them, Arceus would send Giratina to distortion world as punishment. After all this, Mew would set on a mission to revive the world, resulting in the other legendaries. Mew made many attempts to keep them separated, and soon the legendaries Mew created as well as Mew themself would heal the world.

[@InktheImpassive]

I like that according to Masters, the reason why Elio and Selene would tend to stare off into space and smile is because Elio overthinks so much and Selene is so laid back to the point that they both take time on what's in front of them to sink in to respond.

Also explains why you need to keep being taught how to catch a pokemon every game.

My headcanon is that back when Mustard was a Gym Leader, he was the leader of Stow-On-Side, and not far from retirement, he took Bea/Allister under his wing and helped them become strong, capable trainers. Even if this doesn't work for Al, it's definitely possible for Bea. Now of course Bea doesn't directly mention Mustard in the Isle of Armour, but she could just not know he's the dojo master himself.

Personal headcannons: 1. The Arceus you catch isn't *the* Arceus, but a copy with a fraction of it's power. 2. The creator of Ditto's threw them away because they transformed into trash and were unknowingly thrown out. That's why you can randomly find them in the wild. 3. Ingo and Emmet see pictures of Hisui Emmet, which causes the two to mimic/emulate how he looked and acted. 4. Ditto's derpy face is still present, just hidden. Like under Blaziken's hair or under Decidueyes cloak.

This is a long headcanon so brace yourself, but I headcanon that torterra can get all sorts of plants on their back and the plants they grow depends on the seeds they get on their shells as turtwig!

Torterra keepers are very passionate about how they keep their walking gardens, and torterra beauty contests are very popular.

[@lunar9342]

I have a headcanon that the reason we never find dropped money from lost wild encounters is that it's all digital, and it tries to automatically cash out to the winner, but no winner is found, so the signal bounces around until it scrambles, which is why trainers are incentivised to collect materials to sell. It helps them with saving up extra income in case of an emergency.

[@ryuuronin9852]

My head canon is that Oak was the Champion before Blue, was on his way when he heard Blue beat the E4, but Red beat him first. We've obviously seen Champs and E4 leave the league, so what happens if they're not back yet: do the challengers go ahead and fight who is available, or do they just have to wait? What if Oak got the call and simply conceded the match over the phone, acknowledging he was out his prime to actually win. Oak vs Blue makes for a fun concept for a battle though. If not, it was probably just Lance, or they're a very weird league that never had a Champ before. As for Megas, my head canon is that their dex entries were written by a researcher that lost a fight to a Mega and was bitter. Evolution and Form Changes also extremely transform the pokemon and doesn't end in pain. Heck Dynamax/Gigantimax are far more extreme changes feuled by the power of an evil poison monster. You can't convince Mega is any worse for the pokemon. Edit: Additional new head canon, its never stated in game Lance got the Champion slot BECAUSE Red stepped away. All that's stated is that no one has talked to Red in a while, and Lance is now the acting Champion by the time of GSC. My head canon is that Lance actually doubled down on his training and pulled out an actual win on Red: giving Red some actual motivation to head to Mt Silver and start training to get as strong as we see him in Gold/Silver. The reason I think this is because not only did Blue not reclaim the title once Red was gone, but his levels actually cap out lower than Lance's in the rematches; implying that Lance become the stronger trainer of the two at least by that point. That paired with him being a rather humble character that calls himself "the most powerful trainer" would be pretty strange if he knew someone was out there stronger than him, so he probably actually thought he was stronger after defeating Red for the title. Then when you step into the Hall of Fame, he reminisces about it proudly, like he had earned his own entry into it instead of being handed it. I think it makes a nice little thematic arc: Red is obviously stronger after his training, but he meets the player before he heads back and learns there will always be greater heights to reach. I also like to think something similar happened with Iris and the BW Protagonist. I just prefer if the Champions earned their role, even if it means the previous protag needs to take an L.

[@OfficialAndroid-16]

My head cannon is an alternate to the false god head cannon in your last video. What if Arceus IS the god of Pokémon, but becoming bored, it lets itself lose sometimes to feel a challenge like nimona, or wondered how it’s creations felt in a pokeball so let itself get caught then left

My headcannon is that in most of the games, you record your first encounter with every new Pokemon, so when you go to the Pokedex and see the pokémon's sprite moving, that's not just an animation, that's the movement the Pokemon did when you discovered it.

My head canon is that the real reason you can’t find Zorark in gen 5 is that there hiding as people(evil gen 5 team ). And N’s Zorark is his sibling. Which is why he can talk to Pokémon because he is half Zorark.

My headcanon is one of the more popular headcanons shared among the fandom, but Ingo and Emmet both have autism >They both have a hyperfixation on trains and Pokémon battling, which is how the Battle Subway came into fruition >Ingo is very loud and has trouble controlling his voice when he’s excited. He also has vocal stimming in the form of sprinkling train terminology throughout his speech, something which is carried over into PLA even after he’s lost his memories >Emmet can be very blunt, sometimes coming off as rude without realizing it until Ingo steps in and informs him that what he said wasn’t very nice (which is shown in the manga) >Another little fun fact is that someone is more likely to have autism if their sibling has it, so it’s not that far of a reach for two twins to both be on the spectrum I don’t have autism myself but my brother and a lot of my friends do, so it’s always awesome seeing representation that isn’t “super genius” or god forbid Sheldon Cooper, even if it isn’t technically canon. I just really love these silly little train men and the community surrounding them :)

As someone with autism I relate to the funny train men

[@ShinyRowletGuy]

As a person with autism I never see the funny train men as autistic, but I never actually played black and white 2 so that probably explains it. However to me when playing legends arceus Ingo came off as quitet and mellow, but perhaps it's just his situation Love the haedcannon though

As a autistic person I loves this headcannon

[@PrinceEmeraldMoonstone]

Headcanon idea! After Legends Arceus when Sinnoh was made in the future Enamorus told the Hisui forms and the evolutions to hide somewhere secluded and is basically their mother

[@MysticDojo]

I have a headcannon where ironically even tho Kalos was the region that introduced Mega-Evolution none of their regional pokemon are able to mega evolve themselves (not even their legendries that produce the phenomenon) the reason for this was because the ultimate weapon was used on foreign enemies and their pokemon that Kalos was at war with so it makes sense that their native pokemon weren't exposed and effected by the radiation.

[@anoopkashyap401]

I think that's canon to the games

8:34 This explains why Mesprit asks them to “share his emotions with her”. This is because Mesprit is incredibly sweet and empathetic, and can read the main character’s mind.

One head cannon I have is that in the first 7 generations, the Pokémon league is run by the elite 4 and not the champions.

[@cullenhutchison6528]

One of my headcanons is that Mega Evolution causing Pokémon pain--per the dex entries--is only true if the bond between trainer and Pokémon isn't strong enough. In the games you can Mega Evolve a Pokémon regardless of its friendship stat, so it's likely the character(s) who wrote the dex entries were mostly observing Pokémon who didn't share a strong bond with their trainers; and maybe the Megas with positive dex entries such as Pinsir and Kangaskhan happened to be exceptions. This would match what is seen in the anime as well, including Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel.

[@Zangy_boy491]

My headcanon is that Red was able to survive on Mt. Silver because, his Charizard was able to keep him warm, he may have been able to get his Pokémon to run errands to find food for him and shared it with them to keep them healthy and at full health.

[@Zangy_boy491]

I wouldn't really call it a head Canon, it's more of a logical theory to me

[@teapillarVA]

My headcanon is that in Ultra Sun and Moon Ilima put ALL the Totem Stickers around the region, including the ones in Po Town and Guzma's house. He has no fear of Team Skull, and is not above teasing them and crushing them in battles.
