A 'mon of Ice and Fire (Type Pokemon)


1. Dragons and Pokémon both allegedly came from the Moon.

2. Hodor can only say his name!

3. Dragons taught the ancient Valyrians* how to speak just as 'mon repeating their designations taught Humans in the Pokemon World how to speak (speculation based on the various anime series).

4. Six "thralls" and six Pokemon: Varamyr Skinchanger controls six beasts via his ability to Warg which, to me , is strikingly similar to the maximum a trainer can carry in the games and anime.

5. Both "worlds" seem to have extensive wilderness areas and disparate populations.

6. The ravens in A Song of Ice and Fire seem particularly sentient (maybe not as much as dragons and Pokémon however) 

7. A particular similarity between the A Song of Ice and Fire novels and Pokémon is the "Lord of Bones" character and Cubone : one wears the skull of a giant as a helm while the other wears the skull of its mother.

8. Another is how Daenerys Targaryen's dragons have a history of disobedience until they (appear to) recognise her as a queen. The games and anime are similar in that Pokémon at a particular level will disobey an inexperienced trainer.

*the dragons in the television adaptation "Game of Thrones" can certainly, and naturally, speak the ancient language

Fan Theories Eight

Q both created and manipulated the Borg. They/He did this in order to prevent the version of the Federation in the Mirror Mirror  universe from coming to power. Without the Borg , the events of Star Trek:First Contact  would never have happened and the United Federation of Planets would become the Terran Empire. The Borg also made an alliance between long-time Federation adversaries the Romulan Star Empire. This allowed the Borg to invade Federation space by passing through Romulan space (the first time round) and is the reason for the Enterprise-E being ordered to the Romulan border  in  Star Trek:First Contact . Elder Romulan politicians and officers who opposed the alliance were ousted (and probably assimilated) in a coup, allowing ambitious officers like Sela to come to the fore. It makes a weird kind of sense for the Romulans to ally with the Borg, if only to keep the Federation on its toes. This means t...

Westeros 2

One thing which bothers me about ASOIAF/GOT  is the height of the Wall and the fact that people have been able to cross over it. Not just stone-age Wildlings but that the (supposedly under-manned and under-funded) Night’s Watch were not only able to get to the top of the Wall but actually place defences on the top!  The Wall is actually so high that people would get blown off by the wind on a regular basis! It is established in the books that the Wall (which is 700 feet high and 300 miles long) protects itself, so perhaps this is more of a plot hole. OK, so let's imagine that the Wall is, actually (more like) 300 feet high and 150 miles long, while some parts of it have fallen down. At these parts the Night's Watch have their fortifications. Specifically Castle Black, Mole's Fort which basically contains a trebuchet and Eastwatch, where the Wall is a consistent 200 feet high and extends 60 feet into the Narrow Sea  There are a number of abandoned castles on the W...

Fan theories 18

Hi there, this is Elench-San and I have more Dragon Ball theories! There is a lot about the franchise that is either contradictory or shouldn't be taken too seriously. For example the anime often shows a realistic globe of the Earth or a view from space with identifiable continents.  But a map of the "Dragon World" is slightly askew.  This perhaps lends to two completely bonkers theories: Dragon World is basically Arda  (as in Middle Earth, Hobbits and shit) or Planetos (as in Wars of the Roses, continent-sized empires, dragons!) OK maybe not, but one can actually connect Toriyama's world with Tolkien's. Both have dragons, gods, werewolves and vampires as well as collectible jewels!  The map often given is reminiscent of that of "Planetos".  The reason a fantasy world maybe set in the distant past of Earth is to do with those titular dragon balls.  This is also why the world is also so apparently depopulated.  ...
