    I actually think that the reason shiny pokemon are so rare is the idea of naturał selection, since they sparkle they are seen easier by predators and prey thus dying off

      would just make sense if shinies were the same as albinos. It's a rare thing that any animal can have since you're concidered an albino due to lack of pigment, which causes white hair and red eyes. this could effect pokemon different due to them also having abilities like breathing fire. Would explain why each shiny looks different since they have different abilities and typing.

    Or maybe the shinies were born from genetic mutations. Like, maybe a clan of... Oddishs interbred so much their genes mutated and a shiny Oddish was born. Like an albino or something.
    Also, have you noticed how Magikarp is red and shiny Gyarados is red? Maybe Magikarp was force evolved by the radio waves, but something went wrong and it kept it's color scheme... or something... what am I even talking about anymore...

      ProtoMario, if you read my comment, you should do a theory on the pink Butterfree that Ash's Butterfree set off to be with. That is the only pink Butterfree in existence, and it's not even Butterfree's shiny sprite. And this happened before Team Rocketset off those radio signals, so what could have possibly made this Butterfree become pink?

I'm not sure what colour varients there were for Butterfree, however, I read somewhere that you could get a pink Rattata this way, so that's a similar colour change :)

    There's a huge hole in your theory. The reason that the Gyrados is red is because of the radio waves from Team Rocket, but that's only part of the reason. Gyrados was forced to evolve from a magikarp. Because it was forced, it took the form, moves, and ferociousness of a Gyrados, but kept a Magikarp's red color. In other words, no pre-evolved form of Charizard was black, no pre-evolved form of Ninetails was a ghostly grey, and no pre-evolved Wailord was purple. Just a means for Game Freak to cash in on a cool easter egg for promotional value, (get your free shiny whatever at Game Stop today!) and for the fans to find and keep playing their product.

    Wrong. Official timeline states that the Kanto and Hoenn games take place at the same time. This means that not only do FrLg and RSE take place simultaneously, but so does RBGY. How can Team Rocket have affected Pokemon with radio waves they weren't using yet?
    What's *more* likely is that shiny Pokemon are subject to whatever the Pokemon world's equivalent of albinism/leucism/melanism is. Because those colorations are, for whatever reason, less conducive to the Pokemon's survival than their normal colors, they are rare- a recessive gene, more or less... but that gene still exists.
    There's another issue with your theory. Despite being the right color, and counted by the game as a shiny Pokemon, the Gyarados at the Lake of Rage is not shiny. It was stated that the radio waves forced the Magikarp to evolve, while it in the process kept its orange-red color. Shiny Magikarp are gold, not red, and a Pokemon can't just become shiny upon evolution. Most shiny Pokemon don't use the colors of whatever Pokemon they evolved from, either- Dragonair, shiny or not, are not green.

    I disagree shiny Pokémon are way more likely just natural mutations just like we see in real live fore example 2 black people can get a white kid du to lack of pigment this is a genetic defect and really rare but it happens this means some were in the genetics material of the kid there is a defectwe also see this wit all adder kinds of live on the planet fore ensample take albino rats snakes cats dogs and so on in the wild how ever these mutations often make a animal stand out more wits is way if there a predator hunting becomes more difficult and if there a prey animal day often are spot essayer this is way day often die very fast and don't give on there genetic mutations to the next generationthis is way evolution in real live takes so long fore ensample the dna of a grisly bear and a ijs bear are 99.99% the same in short its very likely a part of them midgrade to the polar aria and mutated white looking hair sins in the snow white hair are working day did prosper but wen a grisly bear gets born wit this mutation it severally limits it sins theirs no white background so it only a dis advance and there fore it wont reproduce and therefore the biggest part of grisly bear s population will stay brownps don't get me wrong I sure some shiny Pokémon were made to be shiny but most no most are just a spin at the weal of evolutiondid you by the way know if you let 2 shiny Pokémon of the same kind bread aka the same Pokémon your chains of getting a shiny Pokémon from their egg is way way hire

    Again, I think you can go better in-depth if you was just to watch a pokemon episode where a 1st shiny appeared. I think they went over it on Ash's Noctowl but I'm not 100% certain. All I can say is it's all based on the genetics of the pokemon. The pokemon being born differently is most likely the main source and not from Team Rocket. Its possible the signal might have something to do with altering the genetics of the magikarp or maybe the Magikarp was already shiny but all I can say is unless there is proof that a normal pokemon can evolve shiny, there is no solid proof that the radio waves caused any significant change to a pokemon. Its possible the waves altered the genetics of the pokemon due to force evolution but there is no proof that a pokemon can evolve into a shiny, new form

    • @SupremeKai24
      @SupremeKai24 10 років тому

      There is the possibility of using unnatural methods to make a pokemon evolve into a shiny by altering its genetics, so I still consider this theory plausable...if only not for the fact that the anime stated that it was only the Magikarp the waves had a significance on it. Pre-evolving before its scales could turn blue meaning the waves only has a high chance of working on a magikarp

    • @itsjustbrian3712
      @itsjustbrian3712 10 років тому

      SupremeKai24 And I see what you mean, but what if the improper evolution and coloration was caused by the radio waves affecting deep down to a cellular level? Genetic mutation can be caused by prolonged and intense exposure to environmental factors such as radiation. The waves being transmitted from that rudimentary "radio tower" may not have all been radio waves. Imagine, a cheap set-up like that could have been built from parts of appliances that Team Rocket either legitimately bought or had stolen. If they used a microwave in part of the building of it, or for that extra "oomph" used a microwave transmitter, they could have been striking those poor Magikarp, and God-knows what or who else with enough radiation to impact their genetics, spawning off (at best) a whole new color palette for the species for when the genes in one matches up with another's for the recessive pattern to appear. Another result of this radiation would also be any Pokemon, plant, or animal life in the area could mutate creating new Pokemon sub-species as well as the possibility of causing another form of divergent evolution within the species which over time could result in some completely new species altogether.
      The people in Mohagany Town, however, may want to consult with their doctors on if they should be screened for cancer as well as have Nurse Joy screen their Pokemon.

    • @SupremeKai24
      @SupremeKai24 10 років тому

      ItsJust Brian If the radio tower did use radiation or some other methods to alter genetics, then this theory could make a lot of sense. Another that you could have added was that Team Rocket was using a signal to cause a pokemon to prematurely evolve and THAT could also cause genetic mutation to happen as well. Since the pokemon is not evolving naturally, that is bound to cause some genetic issues.

    Here's a question: What if the Red Gyarados was already shiny? The radio waves only made it evolve. Shinies are probably genetic mutations or something like that, because I doubt that Team Rocket could have actually caused a Pokemon the evolve AND become shiny at the same time. Also, isn't it weird that the red Gyarados was the ONLY Magikarp/Gyarados to become shiny? If the radio wave made shinies, wouldn't the other Magikarp or Gyarados have become shiny too? Sorry, I'm just not buying it.

    this is by far the worst of your Pokémon Theories, at least that I've seen.
    Team Rocket only made 1 shiny, and that was by forcing a Magikarp to evolve prematurely. other shinies are like that because of DNA. there's actual similar things in real life where, because of DNA, humans and animals end up with different skin/fur/hair colours than normal. albinos are probably the most well known case of this. for similar reasons, some Pokémon end up being shiny.
    on top of that, it is proven IN THE GAMES that generation 2 takes place AFTER generation 1. if you played the games, you would know that. where other games appear on the timeline can only be speculated since it is never directly stated (B/W being before B2/W2 is the only other part guaranteed about the timeline)
    you should really try checking your facts first

      Pavan Patel most of the ones I have seen are his own theories. he seems to typically come up with theories to answer various questions people ask. those questions tend to go with various existing theories. odds are, while he looks up facts to help come up with a theory or prove one, he finds others. sometimes he agrees with them and talks about them, sometimes he doesn't and makes his own theory, sometimes he adds on to existing theories. majority I've seen are either his own or ones he's expanded on. I have only seen 1 that was good, and that was only based on the title, as in his theory itself he completely screwed up evidence and missed important evidence, ruining the entire theory. as for this one specifically, I'm pretty sure he said something around the lines of "I believe" or "I think", proving that this theory is one of the ones he came up with on his own, with more facts against it than for it (and the only one for it is actually taken incorrectly)

    Well in one of the first episodes, Jessie and James do say "We seek only rare and valuable Pokemon." Think about it, their whole MO is to try to steal or capture Pokemon that can be sold at a high price or used as destructive weapons. If they concocted the secret to making Pokemon shinies, it would be a way for them to sell Shiny Pokemon to wealthy Trainers or Pokemon pet-owners. I mean, people pay a lot of money for designer dog breeds in the real world, kind of the same principle.

    • @TheRachaelLefler

      +Rachael Lefler The only problem with this theory is, they're never shown trying to make money by selling a shiny Pokemon. Maybe it backfired and all their lab-stored shinies escaped into the wild, making that impossible for them to actually profit off of, even if it was originally their intention.

  • @thecasualnerd7380
    @thecasualnerd7380 8 років тому +4

    Couple of major flaws in the theory
    - Shiny pokemon actually did exist in gen 1, but the gameboy back then didn't have color, so you couldn't tell if they were shiny or not until you ported them
    - If the theory is that forcing pokemon to evolve via the radio waves is what makes them shiny, then there would be no shiny versions of basic pokemon, but there are
    - The chances of a pokemon being shiny are equal in all the games/regions. If we go by the radio waves decreasing in power over distance, then the shiny rates would be different in different regions unless Team Rocket set up their radio waves in every region, which they don't
    So this theory is quite easily proven false. Shiny pokemon are widely regarded to simply be the pokemon version of albinos, a theory which makes a lot more sense.

      I addressed that actually, based on that theory the shiny spawn rates would vary depending on how far away the pokemon was from the original broadcast. But the shiny rate is identical everywhere. Since the signal would be stronger closer to the radio tower there should be variance unless every region is somehow the exact same distance away from the broadcast.
      There's also the fact that the broadcast was shut down, and shininess isn't hereditary, so at this point in the pokemon universe all pokemon should be normal, the shiny trait having died out long ago. Radio waves don't have that long of a lifespan, so they couldn't be continuing to cause the mutations required.

    Generations 1,3, and 6 all take place at the same time in their respective regions.
    Generations 2 and 4 also take place at the same time, after the events of 1, 3, and 6.
    Generation 5 takes place the furthest ahead in time, after the events of all previous generations.
    We know this because of 1 thing- The remakes.
    You fight the champion of the Protagonist of gen 1 in gen 2, after his adventure is over, meaning 2 definitely takes place after 1.
    Generation 3 had the recreations of generation 1's games, meaning, as you can freely trade pokemon between them, they logically must take place at the same time.
    The same logic can theoretically be applied to generation 6, as with the gen 3 remakes, and the ability to trade pokemon between X&Y, and Alpha and Omega, they must have to occur during the same time period.
    And the logic follows with the introduction of heartgold and soulsilver in gen 4, that generations & 4 take place concurrently, after the events of 1, 3 and 6. There's also the appearance of Sabrina in gen 4 that indicates a connection to gen 2.
    Generation 5's games take place furthest in the future due to the appearance of Cynthia. Cynthia, dethroned as champion of Sinnoh by Gen 4's protagonist, was free to travel the world to meet new people, untethered by the Champion's responsibilities. Using the appearance of another character, a certain speech impaired rocket grunt (Who had left that life behind, and went to unova and started a family, with a wife and son in the same house as him, we can estimate using his son's age that black and white take place approximately 6-10 years after the events of Gen 2, depending on how old his son is. )The final chronological games in the series are pokemon Black 2 & White 2, which take place 2 years after black and white, (Which take place approximately 5-9 years after gen 2, a stated above.)

    @RHODEY37 10 років тому +1

    In the anime, the Red Gyarados is supposedly a Magikarp that kept its coloring because it is forced to evolve. the only problem with this is that shiny and non-shiny Pokémon always keep that respective status when they evolve. This means that the Red Gyarados would have evolved from a shiny Magikarp, which has a golden coloring, invalidating that entire theory since the Magikarp it evolved from couldn't have been red in the first place. This does raise the interesting point, though, that because if this principle of shiny evolution, the first shiny Pokémon would have to have been an unevolved Pokémon.

    • @sangajin100
      @sangajin100 10 років тому

      maybe i didn't explain this very well, here it goes again.
      The mewtwo from the first movie and mewtwo returns, is the first mewtwo, then, the mewtwo from the genesect movie is the second mewtwo.
      The mewtwo from r/b/y and pokemon origins is the first mewtwo. the mewtwo you capture in the game pokemon x&y, is the second mewtwo. two different universes, both of those mewtwo, if you think about it, are counterparts. so, overall, in each universe, there are 2 known mewtwo.

    Actually, Shiny pokemon make lots of sense biology wise, it's kinda similar to albinos, they're just a mutation, it's very easily explainable. They're actually a lot more common then they should be. But that also can make sense since pokemon don't really seem to hunt and kill eachother. and just because gen 1 doesn't have them, doesn't mean anything, because it was Greyscale.

  • @KamalpreetKable

    My theory is in Gen2 after TR realeased the radiowave it caused some sort of new cell to appear in every pokemons blood stream. After that since the cell was so little it didn't cause much harm. But some pokemon offsprings could appear in differnt colors resulting of the genetic mutation from birth because of the cell. Again: Sinec the cell was small it was really rare to breed a shiny and that's why evry pokemon has a shiny and if your wondering why there are like Gen4,5,6 ETC have shinys even if there are new pokemom well maybe since dittos also got the cell and then when the dittos breeded with the newer pokemon that made the cell spread through breeding and that is the ORIGINS OF SHINYS.

  • @themagicalracoons1
    @themagicalracoons1 10 років тому

    Shiny Pokemon are genetic mutations.
    The Red Gyarados was just a shiny Magikarp that Team Rocket forced to evolve.
    Ho-oh in the first episode wasn't a shiny Ho-oh. Really, it wasn't even a Ho-oh at the time. It was an unknown Pokemon that Ash saw in the sky. Also, the whole "shiny Pokemon" thing wasn't even a thing at that time. Even if that was supposed to be a shiny Pokemon, you theory instantly falls though. Team Rocket, at that point never took over the radio tower, and they never broadcasted these radio waves, forcing Pokemon to evolve, as the events in Gold/Silver/Crystal take place three years after the events of Red/Blue/Yellow.. Not to mention the fact that the events in the games are not connected to the events in the anime, as those are two different versions of the Pokemon world. Using that little bit of information, and your poorly crafted theory, shiny Pokemon wouldn't be in existence in the anime world of Pokemon. But they are, so there's another hit to your theory.
    If you want to make more accurate and believable Pokemon theories, I strongly suggest you spend more time gathering solid evidence, and make your videos more than seven minutes long, so you can have more time to explain the facts. Also, watch some Game Theory episodes here on UA-cam. They're great examples of good theory videos, and possibly a nice way to learn how to more properly construct a theory video.

But only certain Pokemon were cloned so then again it doesn't explain the other regions. It could be a camouflage skin colour changing deal or it could be considered just a difference in DNA passed down though the generations.

    This video was probably made before the timeline was provided showing gen 1 and 3 happen at the same time. Both have shiny Pokemon. However, it could be said that Team Rocket saw the potential for cashing in on shiny Pokemon but due to the rarity of getting one, they set out to force the Pokemon to be shiny. That is why they developed the radio waves. It could also be how encounter rates changed too. Team Rocket or someone else could have also created the shiny charm which attracts the shiny Pokemon that are shiny, which explains why there is a higher chance of finding one.

  • @SirWeibrot

    My theory: If we go by the theory that arceus created the universe and then created mews (yes mewS because there r not only pokemon on earth) to have a DNA that can "create" other pokemon, what if Arceus didnt only create the "our" universe with "our" mews but also other dimensions with other universes and other mews and one of the other mews came in our universe and "created" some pokemon too, the new created pokemon had other colors because they werent made by a mew from our dimension. (and the reason why shinys are so rare is because theres 1 Mew that created shinys but like 1000000000000000 that created regular colored pokemon)

    This theory, even though people have pointed out a few flaws, would also explain why shinies are becoming less rare as the games come out. Due to natural selection, more and more shinies are being born into the wild when there was very few to begin with. Since Pokemon enjoys itself some evolution, this would make even more sense. A genetic mutation and the process of elimination is what causes a species to evolve.

    I almost caught a shiny Azurill but I accidentally knocked it out trying to lower it's HP in Pokemon white 2 without knocking it out.
