Pokémon Headcanons That Bring Me Joy

[@JoeFanik]

I have two headcanons about Larry 1) Whenever Larry is passing by, all of the academy students wave and shout “HI LARRY!” in order to lighten his mood. 2) The students once pretended to act like Larry and it became viral from Iono and was thus called the “Living Like Larry” challenge

[@Gordonjamesheneryproductions]

[@valleyard8674]

Ngl, since I saw the comic of him being from the human world and being Isekai"ed" to the pokemon world by a Pikachu bus, that's just the truth for me Then Geeta somehow got to know his situation and found it interesting, so she offered him a gym leader job, and later also made him part of e4 since he was good at battles

[@thegoldengeek8057]

My headcanon is that Maxie and Archie were roomates in college, had an argument one day, and it eventually just escalated to the formation of team Magma and Aqua.

[@ScxiiUnova]

LOL that's a good one

[@DystopianOverture]

When I was a kid I thought they were siblings because the way they beef give off sibling rivalry vibes.

[@WolfoSammy]

This is the best headcanon, I feel they know exactly what gets on the others nerves due to this and also their favorite food. Archie has probably stolen a meal or two from Maxie despite Maxie labeling them

[@gilliancastle5106]

A couple headcanons I picked up: 1. A group of Zorua is called a bamboozle 2. Penny is the friend you stay up late playing video games and watching anime with, Arven is the friend you stay up late eating pop tarts and questioning the meaning of life with, and Nemona is the friend you stay up late doing stupid stuff and making each other laugh with

[@Sammy_The_Umbreon]

honestly my headcanon on how Penny got so many Eevees is that: She used to put food out for a wild Eevee she keeps seeing outside her home, until realising months later, oh no, that wasnt just one Eevee but a whole group.

My headcanon is that geeta was in a middle of a meeting when you first fought her, was scrambling to make a team and just randomly throwing pokemon since she doesn't know what she brought.

[@InsertFunnyThingHere]

I don't know about randomly making a team last minute but I like the interpretation that she didn't lead with Glimmora and end with kingambit by complete accident because she just forgot what was in each pokeball

[@kratosorokai1546]

nah she is just incapable basically a diversity hire

[@jackaboi1331]

That would explain her new team in the dlc

[@steampunk9722]

My headcanon: The Pikachu clones are actually examples of convergent evolution. Rodents are often the targets of birds of prey, and where flying types are weak to electricity, a rodent that could deliver an electric shock would have a better chance of surviving in the wild, hence why a Pikachu equivalent exists in each region.

[@pokefan006]

That weirdly makes a lot of sense, although then again if defense from flying types were the reason then you'd think there would also be more ice type rodent pokemon

[@zandermclane4868]

​@@pokefan006 true, although given that pika clones live in plains and forests and often next to cities as well, it makes sense. It helps them to cook food and steal from humans! Ice however isn't very great for birds. So the environments ice types can live in have no birds anyways. And the small rodent build is also generally bad for snow and ice.

[@dm_katy2263]

Ah, the crab effect

[@airplanes_aren.t_real]

Would be cool to see a rock type first route bird on the next generation to further the idea, although an electric type that's immune to paralysis is also good

[@thevenomspino]

Besides Mimikyu, of course. They just want friends and hate Pikachu

[@matthewfoley7872]

My headcanon is that Primarina makes little rythmic whistles when it sleeps. After one trainer documented their Primarina's snoring, they decided to speed up the audio. It's revealed that Primarina's whistles are actually notes that make up a tune that they sing for their next battle. Primarina tries to come up with a new tune in each sleep session to give variety to their performance.

[@matthewkuscienko4616]

The S/V protagonist is completely driven by whatever Koraidon/Miraidon want to do. When you mount them, they’re the ones deciding where to go. They go to fight Team Star cuz they affectionate to Penny The take you to battle Titans cuz they get to have sandwiches with Arven afterwards They take you to battle Gyms cuz of all the fun puzzles they get to take part in, or because Nemona told you to and they like her

[@michaelverde-io8hl]

I love headcanons so here are a few: 1) The reason emmet says "I am Emmet" is because he and Ingo got confused a lot growing up so he introduced himself so many times that it became a habit. 2} Larry has been operating on an average of 5 hours of sleep a day for years and he is too vital to the league because of his various jobs that he can't sleep for too long or the government will collapse like a house of cards. He also somehow dominates the popularity poles no matter how hard anyone tries to surpass him, no one knows how, especially not himself. 3) N calls himself N because no one believes his real name is Natural. 4) Gloria curses like a sailor. 5) Koraidon is cold-blooded and their rider helps warm up their body temperature. 6) Pokemon: Legends Arceus happens in the anime timeline. The only reason Akari/Dawn is so calm is because she has traveled with Ash and nothing fazes her anymore. 7) Ash has spawned multiple conspiracy theories because that kid has seen some stuff and says the craziest things at random. People have overheard him mention that he encountered legendaries before, and eventually when enough people talk online about the weird kid and his pet rat that claimed to have fought god and knows way too many famous people they try to put together a timeline of his journey, and get increasingly concerned that he may be telling the truth. Ash is unaware of the theories surrounding his life.

My headcanon is that Clay is always overworking himself in expanding the Clay Tunnel yet the moment he finds out his daughter Lacey has a big Pokémon battle upcoming he drops everything to come and cheer her on like a madman. Lacey gets incredibly embarrassed about this so she stopped telling him about most of her bigger battles which is why Clay doesn’t show up during the player and her’s battle in Indigo Disk.

[@TreeckoBro]

Clay is absolutely the dad who would have those imaginative tea parties with Lacey growing up. Dude's already a chad, I imagine he's a great father.

[@bi-lynejackson1845]

He’s definitely a workaholic but I believe it’s because he loves working, too the point that he gets slightly uncomfortable when not. Even on family vacations but he loves his family more than work that he does his best to try and distract himself from thinking about it.

[@tristanalain9239]

I still wanna know who her mother is.

[@LuckySketches]

[@cultofmel]

My headcanon is that "Sprigatito Fur" is a common scent name for laundry detergents, air fresheners, and such. These products always carry the outdoor-like fresh smell of cut grass and flowers... despite the fact that Sprigatito does not have a floral scent. Many other Grass types such as Petilil and Gossifleur are noticeably fragrant, but Sprigatito really only smells like most feline Pokemon. So nobody is quite sure why the name persists or where it originated.

[@antonio_but_really]

I like to think that Larry doesn't just have a normal and flying type team, but he has a team for every type. Like he needed to try everyone to make the best decision on which to primarily use.

A personal headcanon about Iono: The reason why she has two magnemites on her head is because when she was little, a Magneton got seperated from it's third member and Iono agreed to replace that third member and when she started streaming, the Magnemites offered to be painted into different colors in order to dazzle up Iono's appearance.

I also have a few headcanons 1. Penny had named all of her eeveelutions and before they evolved she could tell them apart perfectly 2. Cynthia composed her own battle theme (in one event in Masters EX she mentions that she likes playing piano) 3. Gladion is a big fan of Piers' music 4. Wally uses a garchomp in omega Ruby and Alpha saphire postgame because he watched competetive pokemon matches and saw how popular it is

[@runedoom]

2nd one is canon. In platinum, she comes to your villa after you buy a piano to teach you her pre-battle theme, which she mentioned as having composed herself.

[@kedharswaminathan7571]

My latest headcanon is that Lacey and Drayton are actually childhood friends due to Lacey’s dad and Drayton’s grandpa often leaving them alone to play together during gym leader meetings. I think that it further adds to the dynamic they have in Indigo Disk.

[@DestronGaming]

[@AstaoftheEclipse]

Random headcanons (I might update this occasionally): -Archie has a vast collection of swimsuits. Speedos, wetsuits, etc. He just really likes them. -Legendary Pokémon will occasionally just pick someone they like (usually the protagonists) and randomly appear to them so they can be best friends. It works about 50% of the time. -Laventon has kept a scrapbook of everything ever since cameras were invented. He just loves his little camera so much. He’s also the king of dad jokes. -Volo doesn’t know algebra. You will have absolutely no context.

[@the_artist_sylveon]

I have a really cute one: the Paldea quartet have a weekly get together in one persons room with it switching each week. Like one night Arven would cook dinner for everyone. Another would be Nemona forcing everyone to battle each other but with the wildest rules possible to make it fun. Penny would refuse to do it in her room but then Nemona forced herself in and they all watched anime together. And the player just does whatever since they’re, well, you.

[@insertcreativename802]

Team Star totally does the same after their storyline ends. They’d specifically make sure that it doesn’t conflict with anyone’s schedules, so nobody gets left out. Even if it’s to hang out with other friends like Penny & the quartet.

[@CraftingGummi]

I love this idea so much. I actually wrote a dumb Christmas one-shot a while back of the squad having breakfast together in Arven’s dorm and it made me so happy to imagine.

[@the_goosinator]

My headcanon is that a pokémon's speed stat isn't how fast the pokémon is, but their reaction time. This would make sense because the pokémon with the better reaction time would be able to process what their trainer is telling them to do faster and move faster. This would explain how purugly is so fast despite how morbidly obese it is and how vikavolt and escalavier are so slow despite their pokédex entries saying they fly around at high speed. Also, this has nothing to do with the headcanon, but I hate it when people say the pokédex entries are written by the protagonists/children. They are written by the professors and the protagonists and other trainers just fill their specific ones out.

My head canon is that Red canonically doesn't speak because he truly believe that action speak more than words. He grew up with Green who is very pride of himself and likes to shove into the face of Red how awesome and ahead he is but in the end, through actions, Red shows how good he can be and even became the champion of Kanto. Another headcanon of mine is about Brock, since he have to spent a lot of time, just sitting down and waiting for a trainer to show up, he uses this free time to carve little pokemon sculptuures on rocks to give as a gift for they brothers and people he likes, also, his gym badge is also carved by himself.

[@lelouch7315]

One month late but man that red's headcanon makes so much sense. Like it's just shows how confident red is to sticking with his ideology of not talking and let his actions/battles to speak for him. Also it feels like that people give red more respect because of that attitude.

[@professorgreenbeans8275]

I dunno if you already covered this one, but I like to imagine that whenever Nemona finds you in a new city, she just ran across the entire region because she was training her Pokémon like five minutes ago and also mispredicted which city you’d go to next lol

here's a small head-canon or too, mostly related to my favorite Pokémon: - the reason Pachirisu is found in the Crimson Mirelands on the west side of Sinnoh in Legends: Arceus instead of in the east in the original games is because they're a somewhat nomadic species and migrated after the Valley Windworks were built, being attracted by the electricity. - speaking of Pachirisu, the reason we see so many in Mesagoza (despite it being somewhat rare in the wild in Paldea) is because it became a popular choice to have as a pet, and thus some were imported from Sinnoh. - trainers who own a Tinkaton or any of their pre-evos help them repair and maintain their hammers, which solidifies their bond even more.

Geeta, Rika, Hassel and Larry saw that the little girl was surprisingly talented at handling Pokemon for her age, and her affinity for comedically large hammers was also impressive. Hassel was so moved by her skill and excitement that he burst into tears and adopted her as his granddaughter, naming her Poppy. Geeta strong-armed Rika into mentoring Poppy, and pulled a "I AM the Senate" when Rika mentions child labor laws. And Larry just wanted to go home.

Here's a few I've come up with ever since getting back into Scarlet: *At some point while testing out his Clive disguise, Clavell unironically used the phrase "How do you do, fellow kids?" To this day, he still doesn't know why people started laughing when he said it. *Penny is a huge astronomy nerd, and all of her VeeVees are nicknamed after constellations. The Sylveon she uses as her ace is nicknamed Cassiopeia. *Arven nicknamed most of his Pokémon after cooking terminology. The only exception is his Mabosstiff, which he named Bud. *While at the fourth research station in Area Zero, Arven found a fragment of the Professor's outfit in the wreckage (in Scarlet, one of the arrowheads from Sada's necklace, and in Violet, a piece of Turo's sci-fi bodysuit).

I’ve always head cannoned that certain trainers/NPCs had their first journey’s at the same time and were rivals, and you can somewhat split them by generation, for example: Cynthia, Palmer and Crasher Wake (I also think Cyrus began training around the same time, but wasn’t a rival) Roark, Gardenia and Riley I think it’s interesting to think about the dynamics these characters could have when younger

As an artist, I really like the headcanon of pokemon being able to occasionally have distinct patterns and markings/very minor subspecies that other animals do in real life (i.e. Piebald, Albino, having Spots/Stripes when they usually don’t, that one coat every domesticated mammal seems to have where they’re black with some orange points, Chimera pattern, Soft Shell Squirtles, etc.) and stuff like that not being common, but not as rare as pokemon being shiny is.

At some point Guzma has also somehow convinced Giacomo to go for a joyride with the Starmobile only to get pulled over by Nanu who then grounded them for a month (which is hilarious considering Guzma is a grown man but knows better than to cross Nanu).

Here’s some of my headcanons: 1. The actual reason Wallace turned down the title as champion is to be able to hang out with Steven more since they’re really good friends (referring to the manga) 2. Silver and Ruby (Brendan) are good friends. I don’t know what caused this but they probably talk about bad moments in their childhood together (referring to the Manga) 3. Will likes to pull pranks on people and sometimes gets carried away. He probably throws a fake bomb at Karen and when it explodes it’s just glitter 4. Professor Sycamore is like a father to Alain. In my opinion, they have a father-son dynamic and i find it funny (Also, Alain has a biting problem) 5. Falkner has a fear of heights despite him being a flying type trainer. Only reason he’s not scared if he’s on Pidgeot is because he has it as comfort

[@nova.scosha36639]

Idk if anyone has said this, but one of my headcannons is that Mallow just knows all her friends' favourite foods, and whenever they're sad, she will make them it to cheer them up

I don't really have many pokémon headcannons, but for some reason, I've always imagined Falkner, Whitney, and Bugsy as a friend group. Falkner being the overly serious one, Whitney being the eccentric one and Bugsy being the chill one who just wants to look for cool bugs.

[@LocalGinger8128]

My head cannon is that all food-based Pokémon live in fear of being found by a munchlax or snorlax.

[@sj1productions68]

I have some headcanons I could share - Celebi and Hoopa could one day be successors to Dialga and Palkia, primarily because they have similar powers - The Kanto Pokemon League used to secretly be on Team Rocket's payroll (specifically Sabrina, Lt. Surge and Koga, like in the manga), but being beat by Red and Blue helped them see the error of their ways - Volo has a cowboy-like accent when he's happy, but when he slowly goes crazy during his boss battle, he sounds like Ren from Ren and Stimpy

[@PixelBasgolova]

I love 3.😂

[@itsyeetorbeyeeted936]

Here's some of mine! (mostly Gen 9 because I really like Scarlet and Violet) - I've seen this one floating around in a few places (it might actually be real canon idk) but some people have said that the reason Arven is such a good cook is that his dad/mom was never around to make him proper meals so he had to learn himself and got really good at it over time - Speaking of Arven, I like to think the reason he makes sandwiches during the Path of Legends cutscenes (as opposed to something else) is because he likes how "efficient" they are. I kinda feel that way too. All that tasty food, ergonomically packed in between two slices of bread...truly fascinating - My reason that Amarys seems so "robotic" isn't because she's a robot herself, but because she acts that way to bond with Steel-type Pokemon, most of which are robots themselves - Before she went on her villainous spiral in Sun/Moon, Lusamine was VERY much aware of her...physical attractiveness. She would often flirt with people to get them to do things for her. Lillie was not a fan of this - The Scarlet/Violet gang (Nemona, Arven, Penny, and Florian/Julianna) sometimes meet up and have sandwiches on the roof of the academy while they watch the sunset together (I got the inspiration for this one from Kingdom Hearts, if you know you know)

[@RandompersonJ3892]

Headcanon for red: red only talks to just mess around with people, blue and leaf knows red can talk (well in masters at least) but they join in by gaslighting people that they were just “hearing things” or something like that 😅

[@fishsticksoup5714]

I got one: On a trip to visit Peony and Peonia in the Tundra before the events of Scarlet and Violet, Penny went up to main Galar to see Chairman Rose and told him about the other students bullying her and he said something like, “Oh just start an evil team and overthrow the natural order of things! It’s worked so far for me.”

[@CHOTCNUTRL]

I have three main headcanons. -Mega Evolution is less painful the stronger the bond between trainer and pokemon is, but Mega Evolution can also be forced if the bond isn't strong enough like when pushed hard enough in battle, under the influence of powerful emotions, and under the influence of something to force a Mega Evolution this is where the pokedex entries for the painful Mega Evolution comes from. -I believe that Garchomp influenced the development of fighter jets and that there is a military jet named after the garchomp line. -I also believe that the anime isn't what its really like in the pokemon world, I mean that the pokemon are more animalistic and deadly but the ability to shrink them and shove them into small balls has removed a lot of the fear training pokemon use to have, Legends Arceus has reinforced this belief along with the mini series that are released every now and then.

She would probably always find a way to make people happy, whether it's going to a restaurant, helping people with jobs, or taking care of Pokémon. She seems like the type of person who never really becomes mad, unless it's towards villains. Even the manga states that she sees Pokémon as "friends".

[@Keydicken]

Here are a few of my headcanons I came up with the other night while mildly sleep deprived: Kieran doesn’t have a cell phone because he would rather stay away from technology since he’s afraid he would rely on it too much. Carmine has a vintage record player in her room because she’s oddly fascinated by old technology (and because her grandparents let her keep their old one). Since they live with their grandparents and have their influence, Carmine and Kieran really like classic rock and 50s/60s/early 70s music. Penny really likes hyperpop (110 gecs, Charli XCX, etc) Not only is he good at cooking, but Arven likes to knit/crochet/sew as well. Nemona’s favourite drink is horchata, and her favourite flavour of anything is cinnamon, but she also loves sour foods. Eri loves relaxing and resting when she’s done training. She winds down by running a hot bath and having a cup of hot chocolate (but the thick French kind, not the North American kind). Atticus’ native language is not the language spoken in Paldea, which is partially why his speech is so formal. Grusha is really shy which is why he’s awkward around his fans/the player, but why he converses confidently with other gym leaders. Iono was inspired to become a live streamer since she was in student council in middle school and high school and would host assemblies. Sophocles and Molayne are distantly related to Melony and Gordie. Ilima’s mom is from Kalos, but his dad is from Alola. He lived in Kalos during his early childhood but later moved to Alola (I believe it’s either implied or outright said in the games that Ilima is from Kalos). Hop runs a Leon fan account that posts photos and updates on social media and has loads of followers from all around the world. N is a giant history nerd, especially for medieval (Pokemon equivalent of) Europe. (Admittedly this one was inspired by my older brother) Blue is the only one in his family with that hair colour. Barry has ADHD which is why he’s impatient and twitchy (I’ve thought this ever since I was a kid. Also he just like me fr). Dawn isn’t self-conscious about her stature since she wins protagonist and rival hide and seek every time. Marnie and Piers have natural curly hair but they get straight perms because they find it’s easier to maintain. Raihan is a surprisingly good chef. His grandparents moved to Galar from another region (I HC him as middle eastern or southeast Asian) as young adults. Lance and Clair are 8 days apart, with Lance being slightly older. (Inspired by me and my own cousin, who were born 8 days apart from each other). Larry was a runner as a young adult, but because of his heavy workload, he had to give up his hobby. Wally wears cardigans and warmer clothes because most of his clothes are hand-me-downs from older family members, particularly his great uncles and his grandpa. Leon is not a picky eater at all. He loves all kinds of foods and will try anything at least once, however, he does not like coffee. Klara is a big fan of drag since their makeup is always extravagant, and partially wants to become a famous gym leader so she can create her own makeup/beauty brand. Avery’s hat is a family heirloom.

[@theorigamimaster5511]

Here’s a few about the galar crew When hop first starts losing to victor or gloria he goes to sonia for advice since she went through the same thing with leon which is why he eventually decides to do Pokémon research When Leon first became champion he would take his little brother to meet all the gym leaders and hop’s wooloo was a gift from Milo When they were younger, Sonia and Leon would go on road trips together but they would always go terribly because of Sonia’s bad driving and Leon’s bad navigation skills so they’d have to be rescued by raihan

[@spartancrusader449]

After the interaction at Malie Garden, Professor Kukui must have made the entire Alolan elite four have some advantage to bug types to make sure Guzma could never become the Alolan Champion.

[@Oshawotttttt]

I’ve got a few headcanons of my own! Brassius and Larry both have a bit of a caffeine addiction, Larry for helping him stay awake while on the job, and Brassius while trying to come up with new ideas for his art Nemona is a sleep talker, and occasionally sleep walks as well. She talks about battles in her sleep and when sleepwalking, she sometimes finds herself out near a battle court in Mesagoza or something. The Team Star Crew bosses and Penny have game nights with each other every so often. Most times what happens is Mela and Ortega get into an argument with each other over something, Penny and Eri are trying to get them to stop fighting, Giacomo is listening to music and is zoned out, and Atticus is just sitting there debating on whether or not he should help Penny and Eri Similar to the last one, Geeta will sometimes call the Gym Leaders/Elite 4 of Paldea to a get together type thing. Arven and Crispin would become great friends over their shared love of cooking, with Crispin taking a strong liking to Arvens Scovillain, as it’s based on spicy peppers, and Crispin loves spicy foods

[@saltyfangz17]

I recently came up with a headcanon that when a trainer reaches champion rank in the paldea region, they can apply to be apprenticed to an elite four member or gym leader and take their place after their mentor steps down or be able to establish their own gym. To add onto this, I like to think that Rika mentors Nemona and acts like a parental figure to her, for no specific reason other than that they're my favorite characters from paldea and it makes me happy to imagine them interacting.

[@nerdynicholas]

My headcanon, even though it’s proven wrong, is that each region ash travels through takes place over the course of a year (plus an extra year for the combination of the orange islands and battle frontier). So by the end of the series Ash will have been 19, which makes a lot more sense than a 10 year old DUNKING on champions.

[@jorvach9874]

Same!

[@sablestormbreak3541]

my theory is something similar the anime only mentions him being ten in Kanto and Unova (maybe Johto it has been a while since I have seen that) But I think a year in the Pokémon world is actually 16 months and it takes about 8 months for ash to do a region.

[@Omori201X]

KIERAN HEADCANONS :D The reason he's so strong in the Indigo disk dlc is because he researched every champion to ever exist, studied their strategies and even would challenge upcoming Challengers to friendly battles to know what pokemon they use ALSO Kieran after the indigo disk has his furret from the previous half of the dlc train to be a service animal for his very apparent anxiety

[@itskdog]

Now the epilogue is out and we can go to Kieran's room, this isn't far off. There's lots of battle research and an entire battle court diagram that's labelled with strategies.

[@thenagito]

I love these so much. I'm a little new to Pokemon and haven't played Gold or Silver (or the remakes) yet, so I don't know whether this'll make much sense, but I just have this cute image in my head of Lance just adopting Gold after the games like "This child. This is mine now." And Lance teaches him how to take care of Dragon Type Pokemon. Additionally, Silver is basically their on-call therapist, and they can just wander into the woods and he'll be there and let them vent their problems. Silver started doing it for Gold, but does it for Lance too because Gold mentioned once how tense Lance seems. Neither Gold nor Lance knows how Silver always finds them but never has the courage to ask.

[@stopppicouldvedroppedmycro2224]

Got a few! Mostly biased to my favorite characters :) - N has major trust issues after going out into the world, although he tries to be nice and make friends, he can’t shake the feeling that they’ll betray him. He also feels that he is “tethered” to Ghetsis and will always be a “freak with a human heart” - On the brightside, Alder takes him, Anthea, and Concordia in! - Lillie likes to dress up in pastel colors and often goes to Olivia for advice on how to style her hair and outfits, and sees Olivia as a mentor figure - The URS (Ultra Recon Squad) is a much bigger organization in their home universe, having more members that deal with all kinds of threats to Ultra Space - On a similar note, Phyco and Soliera are father and daughter and Dulse and Zossie are brother and sister (although potentially in a found family/ adopted way), they simply use formalities in their universe - Zossie, Acerola, and Sophocles are a chaos trio and often run around Ula’Ula doing science experiments and going on ghost hunts - Mai was taken in by Adaman’s grandfather after she had lost her parents sometime before Adaman was born. - Irida lost her mother, the former clan leader, a bit before Legends Arceus to an illness. - Adaman was attacked by an Alpha Pokemon at some point, leading to the bandages all over him that he uses to hide his scars (also the claw like gold markings on his haori) - Iono is a massive fan of Elesa, and fangirls uncontrollably over her

I have a headcanon that the reason potions heal more in PLA is because they contained an ingredient that was harmful to the Pokémon, so at some point that ingredient was removed, but the removal of it made the Pokémon heal less hp

[@insertcreativename802]

My headcannon is that Giritina has greatly mellowed out over the years, and is now really nice, & I even have a timeline to go with it. We know from Dex entries that it was originally able to move between the distortion & real worlds at will, but was banished to the distortion world due to a violent crime. I personally headcannon this was trying to destroy the world with Volo, & he was banished after being released when the protagonist died of old age. Over the years, he slowly mellowed out & became less violent, watching our world from the distortion world & growing to appreciate the lives of the people & Pokémon living in it. This eventually leads to him stopping Cyrus in platinum to protect not only his home in the distortion world, but also our world, which he has grown attached to. This explains his flip from helping Volo make a new one to protecting the current one. After which, his banishment by Arceus was undone as thanks. This ends with him deciding to let the protagonist (Lucas/Dawn) catch him & travel with them to fully experience our world, instead of just watching it now that he’s no longer banished. *TL;DR* : Giritina was mean & got banished, he mellowed out & became nice, then protected our world & was un-banished for it. Edit: Spelling mistakes

[@MxCalamari]

[@neelwu6061]

The reason that so many Pika-Clones exist throughout the pokemon regions is because in the real world, mouse like creatures are often hunted by birds. Birds in the pokemon world are often flying type.
