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

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

Family Guy is really set in Hell! Specifically one of the Hells in the  Culture  novel "Surface Detail". The television programme "American Dad!" is also set in one of these Hells, but different to the one Family Guy is set in. Think about it. The characters never age and most would end up institutionalised if they lived in a normal society. It also, perhaps, makes sense that the creators of these Hells would consider early twentieth century North America, Earth, a suitable place to set these Hells. In Surface Detail the Hells are terrible places where the downloaded  personalities of the dead are maintained. It's denizens are routinely raped by demons (one of whom may be Glen Quagmire ) or forced into arbitrary wars. All rapes result in pregnancy (Hell is a pretty horrible place of course), which is reminiscent of certain Family Guy episodes where unexpected or bizarre pregnancies occur.

A History of the Pokémon W orld/"Earth" (by way of "Watchmen", the "Culture" novels, "2001: A Space Odyssey" and "Warhammer 40,000") c.12,000,000,000 years BCE Sublimation of first civilisations and Minds c.350,000,000-300,000,000 years BCE  Mew culture/civilisation/society develops on Earth and,later, on Venus also They possibly colonise Mars Mew eventually terraform/"Mewform" a variety of planets in other solar systems  The "starter" Pokémon evolve at some point It is possible they were bio-engineered by Mew (singular or plural) to re-terraform the Earth in the case of another die-off  c.4-3,000,000 years BCE Monoliths visit Earth They take various proto-Hominid tribes to other planets around the galaxy to observe their evolution in different environments-I'm tempted to use this as an example/explanation for the prevalence of human/humanoid societies in the Culture galaxy. This doesn't reall...
