Please support the official franchise.
Wanting new reveals and news for the pokemon diamond and pearl remakes for switch? tough no new pokemon megas for us! but why have pokemon and game freak been keeping quiet? you can see my last video here: The Reason Pokemon Has Been Silent - Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl Newsl • The Reason Pokemon Has...
I never saw the connection between Aron and Sheildon. But when you showed them side by side I totally got the theory.
Yh same
I can see that
You might want to look into them more- the similarities keep growing. Nearly identical height and weight, both of which are justifiable for the slight differences.
I absolutely LOVE the theory that Ash's Pikachu is from Sinnoh. Oak is tied into Sinnoh quite a bit, and it somewhat makes sense that he might bring home a pokemon from the region. My next favourite would have to be the manaphy/phione being just regional variants of each other. I never put much thought in to it, but honestly, it sounds fairly solid to me.
It's already established that it was a Pichu from viridian forest
Yeah but problem is that we have Samson Oak in Alola. He could have easily caught a Pichu in Alola and sent it to Kanto.
This is a bit goofy but hear me out cause the image made me chuckle! The “Hollow Earth” / connected underground theory is possible in my mind because of diglett and dugtrio! They started from the big open caves beneath Sinnoh and made the very impressive but small corridors of the Sinnoh Underground. Eventually they expanded all the way to Galar where they were effected by Dynamax energy which is why the Max Raid Lair is so large! Because the diglett and dugtrio dynamaxed while they were digging! In my mind I see a tunnel gradually getting bigger while a tiny little diglett grew to be fully dynamaxed! Not really likely but a fun image all the same!
I really like the connection between lucario and infinity energy. Having some pokemons, even from older gens, be plot/lore relevant in stuff from more recent gens makes the world feel so much more alive

My thoughts on each: 1. Aura being Infinity Energy makes A LOT of sense. I assume it also has something to do with ghosts. 2. This is a pretty neat theory. Fossil pokemon are clearly supposed to be similar to non fossils. 3. I'm going with Kalos 4. Cynthia's sister is a solid theory. 5. Bertha is clearly supposed to be similar to Agatha. Mostly because that was an E4 trope. That said I don't think this theory works. 6. Drasna being from Celestic town works especially since she's clearly Asian. 7. Manaphy being exclusive to really cold waters makes a lot of sense. That'd be cool to canonize 8. Yup. Pretty likely. 9. I think it's pretty likely that they are at least connected in the sense that the devs made them similar on purpose. 10. Pichu being a transfer makes sense. But honestly there's just not enough evidence for it.
Uhhh dransa is not Asian lol
Personally I feel that Kalos is the better fit, as yes, I know this isn’t in the games per say, but in the anime, Kalos has Pokémon showcases, which share a fair few similarities with Pokémon Contests...and after all, we know Fantina is a contest mega star as well as a gym leader, through both in game lore and with her being an opponent in the Master Rank contests
but what if she's from a region based off canada, it would explain how she speaks both french and english, since those are the main 2 languages spoke in Canada, + her celebrity would make more sense if she was from America being where most Mega Stars and Actors go to make their careers
@@ttgconcepts i agrees she might be from the unouva region since the usa has Hollywood, and she can be a mega star and since there is a lot of language are spoken here.
@@ttgconcepts especially eastern canada
Family resemblances can be pretty strong so I can see that kid being related to Gary. (In my grandfather's/great grandfather's side of the family, all the men look really similar. Like, I've got cousins several times removed and you look at them and you're like, yup, looks like Pappaw.) My hangup is that Bertha seems a little old to be Gary's mom. Especially when put next to Ash's mom, Delia looks like she's low-mid 30's. Bertha's more late 40's/early 50's. She could be Gary's aunt, his mum's older sister.
She could also have gotten Gary late in life. My mother was in her mid 30s when she got me while she'd just turned 20 when she got my brother. People don't get children at a specific age. Besides, some people just look younger/older compared to their peers
You're not wrong, but considering Ash and Gary are supposed to be perpetual 10-11 year olds, even if Bertha was in her 30's when she had Gary, she'd still only be 40-something, and she strikes me as more 50+. Especially with a full head of gray hair. Still it's possible, but I do think older aunt is more likely.
I find the Manaphy and Phione mechanic is interesting. That makes it one of my favourite mythicals! The theory you provided as to how to breed them is interesting! The science nerd in me wishes the franchise would share a canon explanation...
I always thought it was because it was a fake, fione cuz it's the only mythical pokemon that you can breed. So Phione is a fake mythical, but that was just me
I have a theory. What if the Underground Man who dug the Underground tunnels in the Sinnoh region, wanted to find the Dynamax Pokemon of Galar? Like what if one day he heard about the phenomenon of Dynamax Pokemon in another region and how they resided underground but didn't know how to get to them. So he decided to dig tunnels underneath Sinnoh in the hopes of finding these gigantic Pokemon. The reason why you find so many shards and fossils is because the Underground Man was never able to find the Galar Region or Dynamax Pokemon.
No, because galar didn't exist at the time. He was just mining ore like in real life
@@RealAaron317 Yeah but he may have heard of dynamax more recently. The Underground Man is an existing NPC in the games who's probably in his 70's or 80's and most likely heard of the phenomenon at least 20 or 30 years prior to the time frame of the game which sort of lines up with the events of Galar and the introduction of Dynamax to the Pokemon league there. That's if you wanna take it with a grain of salt or whatever.
gen 8 has nothing to do with gen 4
@@RealAaron317 I mean, like I said, it's just a theory. It's just pure speculation, regardless of which generations I compare.
the pokemon regions are like the multiple earths in the DC comics. Look at rainbow rocket in um/us
That underground and crown tundra link, I might have an idea though it's kind of underdeveloped and I'd love to see what you could do with it. It would definitely make sense for the underground to be connected to the crown tundra and the raid dens in some way, I thought that maybe the presence of living fossil pokemon in the crown tundra might be because they managed to survive some sort of massive event that wiped out a majority of them. Maybe some massive worldwide event occured, similar to the theory on what wiped out the dinosaurs, but some fossil pokemon managed to escape and find shelter in caves or such that link to the underground network of tunnels. The pokemon hideaways sort of imply to me that the tunnels are natural to some extent since pokemon live there. Maybe the fossil pokemon that hid down there may have been trapped or unable to survive underground so they died as well leaving behind the fossils we find in the modern day underground, but perhaps a few managed to travel through tunnels and find an out into the galarian system of tunnels. Maybe drawn there by max energy? And perhaps the crown tundra being the only habitable place for those fossil pokemon to escape too may be because even in this apocalyptic event, calyrex could still provide food and safety for them? What I do know is that the presence of fossil pokemon in galar is definitely not thanks to the amazing skill of Cara Liss the fossil researcher XD
I honestly can't believe we're so close to bdsp release date. Pokémon diamond was my first pokémon game and I've playing every main series game ever since. Seeing all the sinnoh related content really warms my heart and makes me feel kinda nostalgic in a way.
Great video, i completely forgot that Byron’s father was the one who dug out the underground, it’d be wild for those tunnels to somehow connect all the way to Galar. And the final one with pikachu makes so much sense, it always felt kinda weird that there would be a single lone pichu in a forest.
Mini theories are always fun to hear about. Interesting idea about Phione being somewhat of a regional variant of Manaphy. Maybe if there was a daycare in a colder area, like snowpoint city, Manaphy could be bred into more Manaphy.
My theory for Fantina is that she's from Unova. Or at the very least, she probably spent a lot of time there. First of all, Unova is a multicultural place when you can encounter people of all around the world. (So it makes sense for all versions of the game that she would be from around here) Secondly, Fantina is found in Hearthome City, where you can also do Super Contest. And what do you find in Unova? The Musical Hall! Which is basically the first part of the Super Contest. And we also now that Cynthia spend a lot of time in Unova, so they may have meet there. I'll admit this part is more reaching. There may be more to confirm or deny this theory honestly. Hopefully we'll learn more soon.
as a fellow neurodivergent, I absolutely love seeing how your mind works. our thoughts are always ping-ponging off so many things that we make connections no one else notices and it's just fantastic. like Aron and Sheildon. my focus is usually on fairy, psychic, and water types, so I never really think about those two. but the moment you put them on the screen next to each other, I know *exactly* where you were going with that and I can't believe I hadn't realized it because it feels so obvious just by looking at them. I can't wait to see more of your thoughts once legends is out and we can really dive into the new lore!
I really hope that they explore this underground lore more. It was always a fun thing to explore and play with but youve pointed out so many connections that it would be such a missed opportunity to not build on the lore
It been a rough past couple of days mentally to the point that I broke but waiting on the Pokemon remakes and just listening to music (especially music) has pulled me through. So dam excited for these games
Oh, I loved how you concluded with Pikachu's Pokeball having a Spark Seal from the Sinnoh region. I had a delightful laugh with that one. I like how clever it sounds. x3
I can see Bertha being Professor Oak's daughter. Plus, you can see the connection since Bertha's ace is Rhyperior and Gary/Blue has a Rhydon.
I do love how Sinnoh has so many cool theories
i already know it will be a great video love them have a good day toby
I absolutely love fossil pokemon. I'm taking evolutionary biology as a class in college, and am learning a whole bunch of stuff that also kinda reveals stuff about Pokemon! Like, did you know that the chambered nautilus is actually a mollusk? And that its "tentacles" are actually the same thing as a snail oot, but it evolved to become elongated in several regions? That means that Omanyte is actually more related to Gastrodon than Octillery!! Very cool stuff.
I have proof against evolution wanna hear
I can actually get behind the whole Aura thing being the driving force behind Mega Evolution. As far as the pokémon world lore is concerned, Aura is Life Energy. And if the whole thing about Mega Stones being irradiated stones from the earth that was in fact irradiated by the energy fired from the Ultimate Weapon is to be true, then it ties together cohesively well imho. Mind you, that it was energy taken from the Lifebending Legends Xerneas and Yveltal which powered up the ancient superweapon. That's what makes that theory so compelling. A lot of pretty good theories here Toby and it's great to see you possibly refining and touching them up to any possible new developments that come up as more games and generations of Pokémon come and go. Excellent as always.
That callout of Fantina's accent caught me off guard. I now want that to be canon.
Garybluegreen oak is now my cannon name for him, and also the pichu theory is my favourite!
This was an awesome video. I freaking love the stuff about lucario he is one of my absolute favorite Pokémon. Also i love that it connects to the energy with the giant flower stuff. I forget what Gen that was but man I had so many questions and ideas for that Gen. It was such theory fodder and I still have tons of questions for it. I wana go back and play it now
I love the connection you made between Aron and Shieldon, I think their both super cool Pokemon and I think the theory is actually really likely.
Personally I liked it more back when Lucario had more of a legendary feel to it, kinda like with Zorua. It made the mythical "aura" aspect of it seem rare, but they just had to makes them wildly available in the games
lol got the discord ping right after clicking on the video! I can't wait for BDSP!
loved the theories haven’t heard any in a while now im even more excited about getting back into sinnoh after it being the first game i ever played
I really like the Pokémon breeding theory behind Manaphy both sound good to me but the water temperature hits home and the relationship between Oak, Agatha and Bertha. Awesome video man
omg ash’s pikachu being from sinnoh makes SO MUCH SENSE. mind blown. the seal on his pokeball makes so much sense because in the one time i can remember of pikachu being released from its pokeball is when oak called it out to show ash and it exploded in a burst of electricity and light, JUST LIKE A LIGHTNING BOLT SEAL from sinnoh :0 i’m literally so shook, i will never recover
I have watched your theories for a few years now and I still like them. keep up the good work
Really like the idea about Manaphy and Phione. The temperature difference being part of the reason makes a lot of sense. Love the 'Hollow Earth' theory too.
I love zoning out to these videos while playing BD. I've learned so much about Pokemon lore and terminology.
adding onto your Underground theory: ever notice how so many evolutions caused by learning Ancient Power were added in gen 4? Mamoswine, Yanmega, and Tangrowth. These evolutions remind me of Kleavor and Wyrdeer, where they're new regional evolutions that don't come from regional variants. Ancient power evolutions being similar to some ancient evolutions of certain pokemon added in LEGENDS ARCEUS, A SINNOH GAME? Maybe this ties back to Arceus, the underground, the fossils, and everything else.
Great observation! That is an interesting point.
Fantina's situation is... complicated XD Lucario's Aura and Infinity Energy makes so much sense now that I think about it I always thought Bertha and Agatha were sisters so I never thought they could be mother and daughter instead
This was a awesome video, I’ve subbed 👍🏼
All of the theories are my favourite, because you tell them to me and I can listen to you all day, my dude
Love your theories Toby, all of these were amazing. Think you saved the best for last
I absolutely love he Manaphy and Phione theory. Never heard of it before, so thanks for sharing Toby!
Something important you missed regarding Fantina was checking how she speaks in the original Japanese. In the Japanese games, Fantina (called Melissa in Japan) is clearly shown as an English speaker. In the Japanese anime, she also sounds like someone putting on an American accent. English speaking foreigners are often depicted as Americans in Japanese media, since America has strong ties to Japan. Considering this, she's most likely from Unova, which came out right after Sinnoh, or some other still unknown American region. So in the end, Japan made her an English speaker, English localizers changed her to French, and European localizers copied that except for France which now had to change her back to English speaking. Also I think some people are misunderstanding what it means on Bulbapedia when it says she has an English accent in the French version. English accent can also refer to an American English accent, not specifically British English. When I checked the French versions, she also doesn't sound specifically British, she just uses a really generic accent that people think all English speakers sound like lol.
so excited for these games!!! and i absolutely love the idea that Aron comes from Shieldon, it makes complete sense and its simply just really really cool
I’ve been checking every day, waiting for the eventual Sinnoh theories vid, CANNOT wait for Sinnoh week and the BDSP/PLA games to come out
Bertha looks more like Agatha's sister. Maybe her younger sister? I can't see her as a daughter, but I do believe they are related! Great video! And plenty of food for thought! I'm super excited for Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl and Legends Arceus! :D
Ash now has a mega lucario and every time they mega evolve there's suspicious blue flames in the animation
Isn't that just Lucario's aura
Some good theories here but I would offer a counter argument to the one with the girl from the movie being Cynthia’s daughter/niece. With Cynthia being the champion of the region and considered by many of the region to be the strongest champion they have ever had (until you come along) you would think that she would have had some affect on the fashion of the region, therefore Cynthia’s hairstyle might be something many people want to copy, so the girls mum is just sporting a ‘Cynthia style’ haircut.
Loving these theories and I'd like to hear some more.
Your team video convinced me to use mime jr, munchlax, and bastiodon on my team
Love the video these theories are amazing
I love the underground Theory. I think the connection to galar is awesome. Thank you for taking the time to make these connections for us all.
For theory 9: maybe the reason there is so much stuff underground all over the pokemon world, not just in 1 place, is because there was a world wide flood. That could also explain any and all underwater caves found in places like Hoenn.
And it could also be linked to the underground ruins in Unova.
Sinnoh is one of two regions I haven't played. Looking forward to it. Keep up the good content!
i was waiting for your kubfu theory. that's one of my faves
As always great theories! I think there’s a lot there with the Bertha theory. Especially because oak has a house in sinnoh
I really like all these theories, especially the ones about connections between different pokemon, I'd love to see some Pokemon with like convergent evolution but the Pokemon version like 2 different pokemon evolving into the same evolution, something with both Nidoran, that'd be interesting... And maybe a common pre evo to Tauros and Miltank, maybe a
Ma boi always makes really good theories! I never thought of most of these
Def makes a lot of sense on Pikachu being from sinnoh originally. Good catch on the ball seals! I always wondered about the ball seals on the pokeballs that oak has. When I was a kid i always thought they were special balls, but after rewatching the first season I was like... wait a minute!😅
I always liked watching theory videos. Also makes you think about your favorite things in a different way.
Loving your theories Bird Keeper Toby
I've never played the original diamond and pearl or know much of anything about sinnoh, so I love this.
I really love the theories you cover and come up with! I love the pikachu/pichu being from Sinnoh theory. I never felt like pikachu fit in with the other pikachu in Kanto
Been busy with work but manage to get the game and got good videos to catch up on while playing
I love the fact that the thumbnail looks like it's from 2012 where most of these theories come from
I love the Shieldon and Aron theory they are some of my favourite pokemon and I've never noticed the similarities but now I can't see it. I also really like the real world explanation for Manaphy and Phione as it would make sense why you can't possibly breed Manaphy. I love your theory videos and I'm really looking forward to what you do for the run up to BDSP keep up the great work ^_^
I like your videos man. Keep it up
excited for your sinnoh week, it’s gonna be bangin even without your videos, but it’s gonna be a great way to build up the hype
I always thought that the aura trio and the aura pokemon were specifically separate phenomenon, given that in Japanese, the aura trio is literally "aura trio", while the aura pokemon is "wave pokemon". But this explanation makes it much more clear that these are all supposed to be at their root meant to be infinity energy. That is very interesting!
OOHHHhhh I can't wait! haha ^-^ I saw your Sword/Shield walkthrough and would very much like to see you do a walkthrough/guide/playthrough of BDSP?!?!? hmmmm maybe haha ^-^
Hey man, I just wanted to let you know truly how much I appreciate your videos taking a deep dive into Pokémon lure. The expansiveness of your mind truly shows in your videos and the sheer passion behind them I truly admire, Pokémon fan aside that aspect alone is so important and I feel blessed to be able to experience it. P.S. If you end up reading this, please leave me out of the Pokémon Legend Arceus giveaway, I have already preordered the game and I hope those copies end up going to anyone that will truly appreciate their experience playing it 🙏
#9 is my favorite. I’m always super intrigued when the hollow earth theory is thrown around, and would love to see it fleshed out some more.
I could believe Ash’s Pikachu wasn’t from the Kanto region. Was always odd for me that Pikachu didn’t see any of it’s kind and go “Oh it’s you!” To them, or Vice virca.
Glad you're making a sinnoh theory video! Super excited for bdsp they look so good
Great video! While I was watching the part about Ash’s Pikachu came to mind. I think the Journey’s episode gives some insight into why Pikachu hates going into his pokeball. There are two explanations: 1. The first explanation is an extension of your theory. The last time Ash’s Pikachu went into a pokeball before Oak kept him in storage up until Ash’s 10th birthday could have been when Oak brought him over from Sinnoh. The trauma of having his entire world changed without any control over it stayed with him and it could be why he was so upset when Ash first brought him out. This trauma is so deep rooted that he won’t even let Ash put him in a pokeball despite the time they’ve spent together. 2. The other explanation could be that Oak was upset with Pikachu after he ran off for a few days and Oak kept him in the pokeball up until Ash’a 10th birthday which would be literal years and THAT’S why he was so upset and refuses to be kept in a ball for even a fraction of a moment.
It blows my mind how people can come up with theories that are so in depth. I always have to go back into my save files and look at the details myself, wondering how on earth I missed them the first time 😭
its natural talent. those pattern spotters have insane natural memory. basically similar to how einstein made break throughs in science spotting patterns that others couldnt.
Gonna be an amazing video, I can already tell
Turns out Fantina lived in the middle of the Galar-Kalos channel. Just floating on top of the ocean. On a more serious note, really like the manaphy-phione theory! Especially because it reminds of how the sex of some reptiles, such as turtles, is decided by the temperature they're exposed to as eggs
One thing I hope is that mega's, dynamax forms and regional varients/timelocked varients do return in some form because their designs are just so sick.
Sadly, leaked footage and datamines for BDSP say that none of those made it in. I was really hoping that we’d at least get regional variants.
@@darkmoon2503 I know none of that'll be in BDSP (sadly) but I just dont want them to be a forgotten thing in pokemon's history.
My favorite is the Pikachu theory. Makes sense and it's simple.
I love the thought that Ash’s Pikachu is originally from Sinnoh, my favourite region! Also the background music in your videos are so beautiful ☺️🎶
The pichu theory makes so much sense, and i think it makes sense from a lore prespective also.
I like the whole pichu is from sinnoh theory I think it’s super interesting and makes a lot of sense! Would have never thought pikachu’s lighting bolt on his pokeball could be a seal. I am super excited too next week can’t come soon enough!
I can't wait for these! My birthday is tomorrow so I'm sad I can't ask this for my birthday. :( However! I'm so hyped! Diamond was my first pokemon game, and back then, I wasn't allowed access to the internet to look things up, so I never got a Shaymin, or a Darkrai, or any other event pokemon. My hope is that this time, I do have a shot at them! I can't wait :D
okay so toby I got to ask after your lets play will you be doing more livestreams around Christmas because I won't be able to get Pokemon brilliant diamond and shining pearl until Christmas so could you do one near new year so I can take part along with many others who have to wait
How come you can’t get it until then mate?
@@harrypatterson7963 I'm 14 alright
Ahaha sorry bro
@@harrypatterson7963 well I'm going to be the one to defeat bird keeper toby in a Pokemon battle if he agrees
Go for it dude
I just wanted to say for at least 3 years I've been watching your videos! Each one til the very end! I'm not the type to leave comments partly because I don't know if huge KZheadrs like yourself even read them and partially because I just don't have much to say. I do want to say I love your content, I love your channel and I can't wait for BDSP and Legends: Arceus and I hope that Arceus is just a beginning of a new series of Pokemon games l. Have a good day and keep doing what you do
I love these theories. To hey give more depth to the Pokémon and the games.
Man this is so exciting. Commenting for an entry lol i have nothing to add on these theories.
Imma real. Around Ultra Sun & Moon, I lost interest in Pokémon. That feeling exponentially grew with Sword & Shield. But with these remakes... I don't know, like, the spark came back? I used to marathon you, TyranitarTube & HoopsAndHipHop because my love for Pokémon is that great forreal. Coincidentally, your videos started popping up in my Recommendations. Now I'm tuning in every video hyping myself up for when I'm able to play the remakes and Legends Arceus. I didnt write this for the game, just hope you see this and know you're leaving an impact. Thank you, stay positive and drink plenty of water ❤ - mystic elder maikis...
Oh man the seals! I wonder how much of this was planned out and how much was just beautiful coincidence.
I’ve always thought of aura as the result of inner focus from inner training. It seems to be a type of energy which travels through waves, so for sure, it seems very likely that it is derived from Infinity Energy. Maybe it is the blue from the multi-colored infinity energy.
I always thought Drasna was from Blackthorn City in Johto, it just fits so much better to me. Firstly, Blackthorn is _the_ dragon trainer's village compared to Celestic which is just the home of Cynthia (who only has one dragon type, she's not a devoted dragon trainer). Secondly, I think Johto is the region that most remembers and respects the past, especially in Ecruteak but also in Blackthorn. In order to get the badge from Claire you have to enter a very old shrine inside a cave and complete a traditional ceremony, to me that seems very much like keeping the past. Idk, those are just my thoughts and I may be completely wrong
That was also what I thought as well.
It’s funny you mention the references to gen 4 in gen 7, there was an entire TCG set at the time that was Sinnoh themed as well, the speculation was running rampant.
Loving the videos!
Gen 5 music makes these videos so nice!
I can get behind the aura=infinity energy theory. The Aaron and Sheldon one is something I never thought about but I think it's brilliant.
the aura theory makes sense with ash and his greninja too ! if ash is naturally gifted with a strong connection to aura (infinity energy) then it makes sense that the bond he shares with his greninja allows it to somewhat mega evolve
Aura is to Pokemon what the Force is to Star Wars. It affects everyone, but some people have a more intimate sensitivity to it.
Fantina theory was my favourite one, imagine if she was really from johto, Morty's sister, keeps his memory close using ghost pokemon, whilst updating her wardrobe with the latest fashion from the other regions before settling in Sinnoh.
I got something else that could support the SInnoh Ash's Pikachu theory. Do you know the first time that we as players could get the pokemon (Ash's pikachu) in our own game? Yup, from a distrubution event at the now defunct Toys R Us to go to You guessed it, Diamond and Peal.
I am so hype for these games!! Pokemon Diamond was myfirst ever game, so can`t wait to see what happens to the remake
