Theories Section on Bulbapedia

[Instrutilus]

Yo. May I suggest, similar to other wikis, that Bulbapedia has a page containing the more grounded theories. Theories like my own Ditto being formless Mews, which has several bits of evidence toward it, and the possible connection between Cinnabar Volcano and Entei, while ignoring the more Groundless ones. I'd also suggest having a ranking below the theory with how believable they are, 1 being 'rather unbelievable' and 5 being 'Very well might be right!'

Feel free to delete if it's "This topic again".

I think the reason we don't do this is because we're a canon wiki.

I don't think Bubapedia should endorse any fan made theories. While your Ditto and Mew relation does have "evidence"* its just wild mass guessing that is best suited to the forums.

Its only evidence if that's actually what was intended, otherwise they are just random connections made. For one example, nearly all Pokemon that are the same colour wind up the same colour as shinies, namely blue water Pokemon.

For another, while Ryuu's theory had evidence behind it, it was easily shot down by the fact that there was a solid timeframe (much narrower than 3 years) mentioned in the game. It's discussed in that thread itself.

Missingno itself could have a proper argument towards it that it is the result of the experiments to clone Mew. A lot of these theories can be found online, they have as much basis as your Mew theory. The only difference is that Missingno isn't meant to be in there while there isn't meant to be a relation between Mew and Ditto.

Besides, part of the fun of these theories is that you get to discuss them, posting it on a wiki rather than a forum makes the theories seem more concrete and accepted by the community. In fact, I'm sure that even if it didn't start out that way, more people would come to accept it as a truth if posted on a site that's supposed to be posting facts.

By the way, they're making RS remakes. And evolving Dunsparce.
