Fan Theories 15

Pokémon Fan Theories:

Sooooooo, big essay or just notes and hopes that people can understand my inane ramblings?
Well, I'll try and do both.
I think the reason is that a brief comparison requires too many outside references and a large article just seems like rambling on to make one look more intelligent than one actually is. 

So, really a comment on society. 

Which is what all good (science) fiction really is. 
And you can really learn something from it.
Honestly.



 Pokémon bears comparisons with the work of Arthur C. Clarke and Joe Haldeman, particularly the novels "Childhood's End" and "Forever Free".

 Forever Free is a direct sequel to Haldeman's war novel The Forever War.

At the end of  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Forever_War a group entity called "Man" is in charge of Earth. 

Forever Free introduces beings who could, conceivably, actually be Pokémon: a hitherto hidden race of shape-shifters. The apparent clone nature of the Jennies and Joys is also conveniently explained here: Joys and Jennies are simply female "Man".




 Childhood's End is even more straightforward in identifying just who and what Pokémon really are.
Because:

 (First Scenario- ) Pokémon are Overlords, Humans are humans 

 (Second Scenario-) Humans are the Overlords
In either case, "You teach me and I'll teach you".



 Another theory of mine states that the Pokémon anime represents an advanced version of the role-playing game.

This means that the (levelled-down hand-held version of the Pokémon) RPG is the real story of Pokémon.

Pokémon live in reserves and always hide from humans.

They do appear to prospective trainers, however, in order to battle their Pokémon.

Other Pokémon in the RPG are wild Pokémon who come from other regions and battle either for territorial reasons or to increase their experience.

There are also Pokémon who were abandoned by their trainers.

The anime is representative of a video game because the central character, Ash, never ages and the nurses/policewomen are each identical. The player is always behind The Rival-Gary Oak-in terms of progress. In turn, Jesse, James and Meowth (Team Rocket) are always behind (and following) the player.



Pokémon is set in the same Galaxy as the Culture and Warhammer 40,000. Pokémon trainers are recruits/initiates/cadets hoping to gain admittance into the military-bureaucracy-priesthood of the revived "Neo-Azadian" Empire. In other words Pokémon is an updated version of the Azad game which chooses the Azadian emperor. 
See https://legalsmeagolandzeteticelench.blogspot.com/2019/06/fan-theories-14.html



Pokémon is set in a world similar to that portrayed in Philip K. Dick's novel "The Man in the High Castle". The United States either never existed or was (partially) conquered by Japan. Hence the cross-over of cultures in the games and anime.



Ash is really transgendered.



Ash is a Culture agent.



Pikachu is a Culture agent.



Team Rocket (Jesse, James and Meowth) are Culture agents. Their incompetence is a deliberate plot to impede the efforts of the Team Rocket organisation.

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 2

Just as Childhood's End (first theory) could be viewed as a prelude or explanation of many SF fictional universes (the "Overmind" is the Force in Star Wars, among others) the film AI could be a seen as a mythological version of the founding of The Culture -in particular the "panhumans" described as being abundant in the (well "our") galaxy and beyond.  At the film's epilogue, all the humans had been killed as a result of a new Ice Age but the descendants (so to speak) of the film's "mechas" (intelligent androids) remain. It could be conceivable that a similar event actually happened in Earth's distant past. A race of hominids, perhaps unknown in the fossil record, invented and heavily utilised, artificial intelligence just before their civilisation was destroyed in an ice age. Of course, a few survivors could have left Earth in spaceships before this happened, but the main point is that the AIs which survived were able to crea...

Manifesto Two

Maybe this election result will be good thing: Brexit will be over and done with soon enough, they'll be a voluntary purge of Blairite scum from labour,  Brexit failures will be blamed entirely on the Tories.  They'll be unelectable for a generation.  By that time the people who tended to be male, uneducated and older will have died off and the young people today can take over and do something about the climate.  I seriously think things could have gone really wrong, as in violence in the streets and a military coup wrong. If there was a hung parliament we'd never hear the end of parliamentary obstructionism and conspiracy theories from Farage and Johnson.  C orbyn should have offered everyone a job or an equivalent wage if they can't work.  The papers would have called him a communist regardless of how radical or not the Labour manifesto was, I hate to say this, but he should be like Tom Zarek and been totally ruthless. This is the only way to ...
