Do you have any Pokemon Anime headcanons?

[Nicolas721]

-The Rotom Phone has Rotomi functions, but only with Pokemon it has registered. That's why Goh sometimes has teams with more than 6 Pokemon and why Ash doesn't call out his reserves.
-The Dragonite island is in the Orange Islands. When Ash and Goh head there they go south, so it's the most logical conclusion. Additionally, it's close to Shamouti Island so they with their climate changing powers act as some kind of guardians to Lugia & the birds. Those Dragonite were the ones who called all those Pokemon in Movie 2.

I could've sworn this was canon... At the very least, I've seen this idea before.

I saw it in Ashes of the Past, a very good fanfic.

Here are three of mine:

1. The reason why Ash is still 10 despite all those series is because of a spell cast on him by Ho-Oh to have him indefinitely remain 10 at the beginning of his journey (which might explain why Ho-Oh appeared near the end of the anime's first episode).
2. Mohn is currently living on Almia's Hia Valley.
3. Chloe and Lillie are cousins.

 

[Adelon]

Chloe and Lillie are cousins.

I am doubt

 

[Bulbabrain]

There is a lot more time travel going on in the background. Ash has collected baby pictures of all his friends, Pokémon, & rivals over the years. Specifically, Ash has a somewhat embarrassing one of Paul smiling and chasing a after a shinx

Satoshi calls all his friends often to know how they are.

Based on its voice actor being a woman and it liking pink clothes in episode 55, my personal headcanon is that Goh's Cinderace is female.

Wouldnt be surprised

I believe that Kojiro wears glasses to read. The basis for this is the cover art for the Rocket drama CDs:

Hear me out, it's not just because I think he'd make a super cute megane character (yes, guilty as charged, that too...) but also that that art's supposed to just be the characters chilling in their studio to record, so he's not wearing a disguise... I don't think he'd wear non-prescription glasses as a fashion statement to make a radio appearance!

Your anime headcanon about the gender of Goh's Cinderace being female (which I do agree with) made me think of some anime headcanons myself:

1. Ash's Lucario is male because, to me, he serves as the male counterpart of Goh's Cinderace.
2. Ash's father separated with Delia when his son (Ash) was only 5 months old; Delia hasn't married another man ever since.
3. Speaking of Ash's father, my headcanon about his whereabouts is that he currently lives in the Galarian village of Freezington.

I have one more Kojiro one, which someone on Twitter reminded me of recently:




I always thought he was left handed, and then in DP we saw him writing with his right hand...

But he is definitely from the kind of family which would abhor a left-handed child, and force him to learn to write with his right. So why not be a bit ambidextrous? We've seen him use both hands for dominant hand type tasks with equal preference, except writing (which on the 2 occasions I can remember he has held the pen in his right hand). But anyway

I raise you one better: Goh's Cinderace is male and Ash's Lucario is female.

I have another one: in the anime, Flying-types and Pokemon with Levitate aren't actually immune to Ground-type attacks, it's just that most Ground attacks have extremely poor aerial reach for obvious reasons, meaning Flying and levitating Pokemon avoid damage simply by moving upwards and out of the way. There are actually a number of Ground-type attacks that technically bypass the poor aerial reach problem and could theoretically hit a flying Pokemon (namely the Bone attacks, Drill Run, High Horsepower, among others), but in the games those still do nothing to flying Pokemon to make gameplay simpler, which isn't something that would apply to the anime. Heck, even poor aerial reach Ground attacks like Earthquake could hit a flying Pokemon if that Pokemon doesn't lift off fast enough, such as was the case in Ash's League battle against Gary, where the former's Charizard took damage from the latter's Golem's Magnitude because Charizard inexplicably didn't take off into the sky.

I raise you one better: Goh's Cinderace is male and Ash's Lucario is female.

I'd freaking love for this to be true if only because it'd give the fandom one heck of a whiplash. Also, female Lucarios aren't very common anyway, so it'd actually be really nice for the main character of all people to have one. Sadly, I know the writers wouldn't do it.

This is how I view it. I 100% agree with you.

The fandom if the writers had the guts to do that:

This something I have always thought about. And the best example is that one battle against Skyla and Cilan. His Stunfisk used Mud Bomb and hit her Swanna, and I even remember people being confused about that. But like,,, it makes sense tho. It's a literal ball of mud being shot right in the air, so there's nothing stopping it from htting the Swanna, even thought it probably doesn't has enough force to go very high in the air. The same logic goes for Mud Slap and Mud Shot. Or like Drill Run: the mon just spins REALLY fast and hits the target. High Horsepower: the user is charged with ''ground energy'' and smashes into the target. None of that would just ''phase'' throught a Flying type the way a Ghost move would on a Normal type, or a Dragon move on a Fairy.

I even think they stopped doing stuff like that after BW so people wouldn't get confused when they used Mud Bomb on a Flying type in the games and it wouldn't have any effect lol

@Ghost Diplocaulus It's worth mentioning that there are some moves that don't work in Sky Battles. Earthquake, Magnitude, and Fissure are obvious ones, but it also includes ground-sweeping moves like Surf.

When creating Tracey as a replacement, showrunners based him on the Electric Tale of Pikachu's version of Bill.
