What are your game headcanons?

You can't quantify intelligence. It doesn't work like that. Somebody can be smarter at one subject than others but may be completely incapable in a different subject.

Understandable, have a nice day.

Correction: After brief research, IQ is real, but it's a very minor thing and can't be used to predict how successful or unsuccessful somebody might be and having a low IQ is not something to feel bad about not is having a high IQ really something you can brag about.

Some of the smartest and most successful people in the world have had "low" IQ.

 

[Archsage]

Yes.

Chatot originally did not say its name, it picked up the habit from humans giving it the name.

Scarlet and Violet take place after the Apocalypse.

There, now I'm a real Pokemon theorist.

 

[Bolt Strike]

This one's more of a joke headcanon, but kinda makes some plausible sense.

There are multiple models of Lillie in SM's code because Lusamine cloned Lillie. She was so distraught over losing Mohn that she saved Lillie's DNA in the Aether Foundation and made multiple clones of her.

Nothing can beat this

I mean... yeah that seems fairly in character. And also prime fuel for an episode of the anime.

idk if this fits here but, in addition to the Galar energy crisis being more urgent in my verse, Chairman Rose might have this to say if pressed on why it really couldn't wait:

"Why couldn't it wait.... why couldn't it wait... I want you to answer me something yourself, first. If you knew that a crisis was coming, that the children who governed you from thousands of miles away and knew nothing about your culture weren't going to do anything about it, and that you alone had both the knowledge and the means of the solution, would you wait one more day? How many days would you have been willing to inch towards societal collapse so that you didn't seem overzealous? I will not apologize for doing what needed to be done."

 

[Archsage]

I mean this is really more of an anime headcanon, but whatever... the reason Leon is the number 1 Trainer and not Cynthia is because she retired early in the tournament so she automatically placed where she left off.

"Rose" is his surname.

(Although... How many gameverse characters have a surname? The only ones that come to mind are Natural Harmonia Groipus and Stu Deeoh. Japanese children's media does this a lot, but Pokémon feels odd because it has humans and you refer to people by their surnames way more often in Japanese.)

 

[BackSet]

All the professors have surnames and by extent do does Blue. Also there's Cara Liss.

Steven as well. But his last name gets dropped so often it feels as if it's part of his first name.

Sometime between Legends: Arceus and the modern era, pharmacists stopped manufacturing Super Potions. Instead, in a bid to maximize profits, the normal Potion was marketed as the Super Potion, while a diluted version was marketed as the Potion, both with an increase in retail price. Hyper Potions, meanwhile, were actually more densely concentrated and became around fifty percent more effective for a time (along with an appropriate price increase), but this was later deemed too expensive, so the practice was dropped.

Regieleki and Regidrago were created before what we call the original golem trio, and were intended to be part of the real trio. Before Regigigas created a third though (something like Regisych for Psychic), these two went wild due to the "unstable" nature of their elements and were sealed away after causing a crisis in Galar, with the intent to censure them from history. Hence why they're "new". Regigigas then starts fresh with more stable elements and thus we get the first Regirock, Regice, and Registeel.

So basically, Regieleki and Regidrago are Regigigas's dirty little secrets. The proof that it wasn't always a talented sculptor. The experimental designs that proved to be total failures and were subsequently shoved under the rug, never to be uncovered.

If Primarina could talk it would talk like Scooby Doo.

Our two new legendaries represent past and future and were created by Dialga. Why? I dunno. I'm working on it.

 

[FelipePR]

Steven as well. But his last name gets dropped so often it feels as if it's part of his first name.

- Steven surname is dropped in favor of his father, who in the games is often referred to as Mr. Stone, despite him having a full name in games too, Joseph Stone.

The reason you needed HMs or specific Ride Pokemon was so that the government could regulate air and water travel.

Also, yes, that does mean that the bike in SwSh is illegal.
