  • Paradoxes have been some of the biggest mind twisters we can think about. So I’ve made a list of 5 paradoxes that very well could be a thing in the Pokémon universe.

    Just want to clear some things up about people saying the shiny paradox isn't a paradox. It's based on the lottery paradox, and tbh I kind of felt confused by it as well when I first researched it. Sorry if I didn't explain it too well

      Halt TAG (no, not the game), if 1 patch is having a shiny then :
      first=1/8192
      second=1/8191 because it is less with 1 patch.
      So on until one of them either is the last or has the shiny before the last.

      So, if you caught a bunch of slowpoke, you could make them bug a bunch of trainers' shellders until they bit all the slowpokes' tails, and then you could take other peoples' shellders and not technically be stealing?
      I just want to see an episode where Jessie and James figure out this loophole, then catch a bunch of slowpokes to abuse the hell out of it. Maybe steal all the magikarp salesman's shellders and rub it in his face. It'd be hilarious.

I learned this cause I was trying to catch a Nidoran forgetting that it was a trainer battle cause I got distracted by a video I was watching at the same time. So it seems at least in that game that a pokeball can catch an already caught pokemon.

    The shiny paradox is just basic statistics.
    Yes, individually the chances of finding a shiny in a patch of grass are very low, but overall the chance of all the patches having a non shiny is:
    (8191/8192)^8192 = 0.368 or 37%
    This means that the actual probability of at least one patch of grass having a shiny is 63%, so it is actually quite likely to happen.

  • @MegaBebb
    @MegaBebb 5 років тому +48

    For the last one, I assume it the trading machine works by switching the the trainer the pokeball is registered to so the traded pokemon will technically belong to the trainer as it's registered to that trainer.
    Though now that I think about it, it's a great way to get around the pokeball registration thing. Catch a common pokemon like a pidgey or a rattata and trade a stolen pokemon with it and now the stolen pokemon is technically legal.
    ...This is pretty much pokemon laundering

    • @minhoshin7269
      @minhoshin7269 5 років тому +5

      AND if you break the pokeball containing the pokemon , the popkemon is released , so , they steal a pokemon , give another pokemon to the other trainer , and then the pokemon they gave to the trainer by trading , they break the pokeball and the pokemon is released. But if they didn't break it , the pokemon would belong to the trainer.

    • @etou1146
      @etou1146 2 роки тому +1

      Since only the trainer that is the legal owner of the original pokemon is allowed to trade it, the trade itself is invalid too. I assume the pokemon would disobey their new master anyway. So before you trade your pokemon for a stolen pokemon, you better make sure it's really theirs (let them proof that they have known the pokemon for some time). In worst case you lose both.
      But yeah, it's one of many aspects about the pokemon universe neither the games nor the anime are particularly clear about.

      If it is how it works in the games, it’s true. In the description of the pokémon there is the original trainer name which will be always the trainer who catches it, and if someone steals the pokemon it doesn’t matter. The thief didn’t catch the pokemon, so it is not the OT. If the thief trades the pokémon with another person, it is still part of the trainer who catched it

  • @FerralVideo
    @FerralVideo 5 років тому +58

    Simple solution to the Pokeball paradox:
    There's likely a specific component in the capture module that "imprints" on the Pokemon it caught, that defines what Pokemon, if any, "belongs" in it.
    Replacing that part would be impossible without help from a means to change the "imprint" data in it, most likely requiring a Pokecenter, and thus marking the exact point at which the ball ceases being Pidgey's ball.
    *Ninja edit: Obviously you can't repair a ball that has the Pokemon actively in it!
    I'm assuming that the trainer is replacing parts as they become worn, but before they break, just to maintain believability.

    2:50 the pidgey either died or got its energy released because the pokeball would break in the process of replacing it, and the pokeball isn't the original pokeball when he replaces the part the first time because it is no longer as a whole the original pokeball. :P

    • @benjaminwertz2379
      @benjaminwertz2379 6 років тому +20

      Pancake butter Actually, it's probable that there is a single piece that has the regestration of the pokemon for anti theft purpose. This piece will most likely have a factory reset security feature upon removal to prevent the paradox (and so some employee doesn't take the old regestration chips and steal people's pokemon with it.)
      And there is probable a single piece that contains the pokemon data in so the only issue is if it was wired incorrectly.
      Edit: spelling corrections

    • @16Pains
      @16Pains 6 років тому +18

      Id assume as soon as a piece breaks off, then Pidgey is auto released from pokeball needs to be recaptured. So whatever pokeball it was captured, so long as it isn't broken, it will stay in

      @ninjahombrepalito1721 6 років тому +1

      Box-O-Cookies but it is still mostly the oeiginal pokeball... at that point, I guess then when more than 50% of the pokeball is replaced, it is no longer the original.
      .
      And I thought any pokeball worked on any pokemon as long as it doesn't have another pokemon.

      See, the problem here is that the pokeball either has a memory card that keeps the pokemon's data inside it, at which point when you replace that it would be a different pokeball (You could still have the same pokemon inside, it'd basically have to be traded), or the pokeball contains a pocket dimension (more likely given the name), in which case no part could be replaced without breaking said pocket dimension and releasing or sending out the pokemon.
      its a lot easier to come down on any given side with pokemon than the original paradox (a boat with its parts being replaced), because a pokeball actually stores something tangible that will most definitely let you know if it is no longer the original.

    For the last one, the Pokemon would still belong to the original trainer. I'm basing this answer off of the mechanics in the games.
    Each Pokemon caught in the wild is assigned a trainer ID (a numerical ID that belongs to the trainer), by the trainer who caught that Pokemon. No matter how you transfer that Pokemon, that Pokemon will have that same ID (unless you release it, in which case you may have well deleted that Pokemon's data).
    So even if a thief stole someone's Pokemon, it would still have the original owner's ID attached to it, and therefore still be treated as if it were the original owner's Pokemon. Same would go for if it were traded by the thief: no matter who the Pokemon is transferred to, it will always have the original owner's ID.

    The pokeball paradox is in a way not a paradox because: pokeballs are used to store pokemon in them, so if you replaced every part one by one, it would've still kept the pokemon inside, which means that the original pokeball would work because it's empty. If I'm wrong, please inform me!

  • @cooldude56g
    @cooldude56g 7 років тому +24

    I'd like to take a crack at some of these. I'm not saying I'm right, but these are the most logical conclusions that I can come up with.
    1.) It's reasonable to think that humans are what name pokemon, beings as pokemon have proven to be able to learn language to at least some extent (I.E. Chatot, Meowth, and various other legendaries capable of telepathic speech). When a pokemon learns a certain word or sound, that sound can be encoded into their DNA over the course of several generations similarly to how an instinct is encoded. This can also account for language differentiations based on where that pokemon is found. Of course, this can also mean you can discover a new species of pokemon, separate it from all other human kind, keep calling it "Dumbass" until it's encoded into it's DNA over the course of a few generations, and then you've got one great, dick move.
    2.) This argument in particular is VERY opinionated based on how you view originality. My personal take on the "broom argument" is that the Pokeball is still the exact same pokeball as long as it has at least ONE of it's original parts, no matter how small (this can include the Pidgey to a certain extent, but not entirely). Once all it's original parts are replaced, it is no longer the same pokeball, but that's not to say it cannot still be considered Pidgey's Pokeball. If you reconstruct a new pokeball based on the original components of the original pokeball, you have effectively transferred Pidgey into a new pokeball.
    3.) Legally speaking, the original settlement becomes void once it is in mutual dispute by both parties (and yes, the battle itself can be considered a "mutual dispute" regardless of their own individual views of the agreement). The new settlement takes into effect once the Student and the Teacher enter battle. If the teacher wins, the teacher most be paid because the rule stating that "The teacher cannot be paid until he wins a battle" is now void under the new settlement. If the student wins, the student does not have to pay because the rule stating that "The teacher must be paid after the student wins the first battle" is now void under the new settlement.
    5.) I feel like there was a major misunderstanding here. When the canon states "once you catch a pokemon, it is yours", what it really means is that the owner of the pokemon is whomever threw the ball to capture it, and was successful. You don't own a pokemon simply by possessing it, you own it by being the one to capture it. You cannot legally transfer ownership of someone else's property unless the original owner transfers ownership to you first. Now the pokeball itself is an individual property inevitably intertwined with that of the pokemon. If you were to say, find an empty pokeball abandoned by someone and you capture a pokemon with it, then the owner of that pokeball comes over and says "Hey man, I lost that pokeball, it's actually mine, give it back", I would say that would be a special circumstance, since the pokeball is not yours until the original owner gives it to you, but the pokemon is irreversibly yours until you trade it (you could really just release the pokemon and then capture it again with a pokeball that is yours).

    • @ebtea1229

      If you calculate (8191/8192)^8192 , you'll calculate the probability of all the patches to contain non-shiny pokemons.
      The chance of all the patches to contain shinies is (1/8192)^8192.
      So, all is possible since the probabilities of encountering a shiny isn't 0 and the probability of encountering a non-shiny pokemon isn't 0 either or 1.
      Even if the probability of meeting a non-shiny pokemon out of 8192 patches is pretty small (0.36785698645) and that the probability of meeting at least one shiny in 8192 patches is higher, all is possible and you could meet between 0 to 8192 shinies out of 8192 encounters.

    I think for the last one, it’s all dependent on where the Pokémon’s loyalty lies. You can’t catch someone else’s Pokémon unless that Pokémon wants to be caught. This is how Ash originally caught his Charmander. It belonged to another trainer who abandoned it, but the pokemon was still loyal to its old trainer despite being abandoned, and therefore could not be caught. Only once Charmander consented to being caught by Ash did the poke ball work and the Charmander become his. So basically the Pokémon is the one who decides whether it is owned by the original trainer, the thief, or the person who received it in trade from the thief.

    Some pokemons don't like to stay in their pokeballs, and they can freely leave it if they want, just like Misty's Psyduck. So, if team rocket steals a pokeball and trades it with someone, all the pokemons in the trade are free to escape their new owner if they realize something is wrong here. Pikachu does that all the time, escapes from team rocket. He would do the same if team rocked happened to have Pikachu's original lightning pokeball and traded it to Giovanni.

      thats wrong.
      each tile has a 1/8192 chance every time. thats why you can get a shiny after 20 trys or after 1 million.

  • @darcraven01
    @darcraven01 7 років тому +287

    the first one isn't a paradox at all... deciding on the names of pokemon... first point of them only saying their name, but some don't.. its obvious that if they say a recognizable "word", than its named after said word.. but if they simply growl/roar, than they are given a name of the scientist's choosing. the second point about different languages: different translations in the show doesnt equal differnet names in the pokemon world.... it works the same as it does in normal language translations if you actually listened to your greninja example, the english greninja says "greninja", whereas the japanese greninja (gekkouga) it says "gekkouga".. this is like an american saying "human" and a japanese person saying "ningen" which is the japanese word for human. same word, just different language. same rules apply to "greninja" and "gekkouga"... same word, different language.
    the "replacing pokeball parts" one.. it'd function like any computer would. since (its assumed that) pokemon are stored as data within the pokeball, when you replace the memory stick within said pokeball, you must transfer the pokemon to the new memory stick.. with that in mind, it doesn't matter which is the original ball, as the pokemon itself has changed locations. (its like replacing parts on a normal computer, if you want to keep the data on your computer you must transfer it to the replacement harddrive when you go to replace the old harddrive..) and since we are looking at it like a computer, we identify that each part of the pokeball/computer is new, not that it is a new computer (unless we buy the whole computer at once)...
    i understand its a take on the ship of theseus paradox... but the answer is actually the same as the original. when replacing parts, you don't get to a point where the whole item is "new" rather its "upgraded" or "repaired".. with each part being new, not the whole thing. (in short: the original entity would have new parts, and the old parts would create a new entity... )
    the third one: neither are correct as the "settlement" is simply to prove whether the teacher's teaching is good or bad and has no payment involved. if the student loses, then he proves the teacher's methods of training aren't working for the student and thus does not have to pay. if the student wins, the teacher proves his methods work and thus the student must pay. no paradox there.
    adding money into it would have to be an equal bet on both sides, in which, if the student wins the teacher would have to pay the student the money for the bet but the student would have to pay money for the original agreement (assuming the bet doesn't cancel out the original agreement). if the teacher wins, the student would have to pay the teacher for the bet, and then later on for the first win (if the student is still with the teacher, and the bet didn't cancel the original agreement)
    the shiny paradox... well.. +RonnyTime already explained that one with.. so to quote him:
    "The shiny paradox is just basic statistics.
    Yes, individually the chances of finding a shiny in a patch of grass are very low, but overall the chance of all the patches having a non shiny is:
    (8191/8192)^8192 = 0.368 or 37%
    This means that the actual probability of at least one patch of grass having a shiny is 63%, so it is actually quite likely to happen."
    as for the stolen pokemon one.... i see several answers for this. most noticeably is that the pokemon belongs to whoever it decides is his trainer... but also, im not sure you can actually trade a pokemon that is not your own... further more, since the professors can give you a pokemon without a trading machine, im pretty sure the trading machine isn't the only way to transfer ownership.. i think its just for legality purposes (like, it does paperwork for or registering it for gym battles and stuff like that.)
    however, if it is as it is described, and the machine is the only way of transfer... the pokemon would still belong to the original trainer and the whole ordeal would be a crime of theft... its just like if my dog is stolen and sold/traded to someone else, when its discovered the dog would be returned to me and whatever was given for it in return by the one who received it from the trade/purchase would get their original stuff back (money or traded item)...
    so really... none of these are actually paradoxes... just thinking puzzles. ┐(┘-└)┌

    • @Predated2
      @Predated2 6 років тому +11

      Well, no 1 I can understand. Its like having a japanese cat being transferred to america and ask what noise they make. It's portrayed differently between shows to apply our naming to the sound they make. So lets say we name a cow betsie, but the japanese name her bettusu instead, we're still talking about the same thing, we just pronounce it differently. The shows just portray how certain regions hear the sound. You actually have to look at the games to fully understand this one as pikachu is one of the very few pokemon who's cry in text was ALWAYS pika-pika or chuuuu. But for some pokemon, you see stuff like fwufwufuw, rwaaaa and gruuu. Later on this started to be region specific text more and more, but the key thing is that the text would represent the sound they produce and the name would be on how they would name that sound.
      Even if you look at it as the same computer when you replace old parts, its technically still a newer part of YOUR pc. The question isnt if its still YOUR pc, just upgraded over time, but if all the old parts gathered(same software that just got outdated) and rebuild into the pc you bought is authentically yours. And actually, you do get to a part where the entire thing is new. Even though you kept upgrading it over and over again, from bottom to top, back to front, the ENTIRE thing consists of entirely different information and atoms than the first. If you'd regather the old parts and make the old boat, you'd have the original boat. But because its property mixed with concepts, where is the line where something original gets replaced and upgraded to be an entirely new whole object? That is the paradox. We dont tend to think about it, because we like to stick with concepts in society rather than objects. But just because we like it doesnt mean we're right.
      The third paradox hinges on pokemon battle laws and the agreement they made. The thing is, they are both right.
      One fital detail tho: this is assumed that the amount paid to the teacher is the amount won in battle, since there has been no number given to money being won and money needed to be paid
      The paradox here is that to the student, even though its a settlement, its still a lesson untill he wins his first battle. But the teacher sees them seperate. Both are right. Under law, if the student loses, he still has to pay, but under contract he doesnt need to pay. The contract is the paradox. This sometimes still happens in real life in very specific cases and can end up in massive court fights as even though its against the law, you still signed a contract and depending on the law it can take a long time of debating and arguing with both sides and the supreme court of the country to figure out which one will be more important. Its basically the question "if violence is wrong, but the only way to stop an attacker is by attacking him, is it still wrong?" It is a grey area and grey area's are where a lot of paradoxes originate.
      The shiny one never was about the eventual outcome. There was already 100% chance that there was a shiny in the entire patch of grass as said in the start. The question is that if 8192 people went into 8192 patches gives them each a near 100% chance of encountering a non-shiny. But there is garantueed to be a shiny, then how can be deducted where the shiny is roughly located to get your best pick? They never talked about the chances of 1 patch being a shiny one, we KNOW one is, for certain, 100% shiny patch. But each patch has practically 100% chance of having a non-shiny. Its a quantum state(yay, quantum mechanics) and it wont go away untill you start checking.
      In case you, reading this, still dont get it. Remember schrödingers cat? Imagine 10000 boxes and only 1 cat alive, but you dont know where it is. This leaves each single box with a 99.99% chance of holding a dead cat. To put it more "adult", this is as certain as using both a condom and the pill(double dutch) preventing pregnancy during intercourse. Sure, it still happens, but its so freakishly rare that its practically impossible to get pregnant while having a double dutch. But its garantueed that 1 cat is alive. This means that one box has a 100% chance of having a living cat where 9999 boxes have a 100% chance of having a dead cat. These paradoxes are paradoxes because they are intertwined with special relativity. Since its just the probability, the key part of the entire thing of why its a paradox is because no one checks. If you look at that grasspatch in general, none of the patches holds a shiny, but the entire patch is garantueed to have a shiny. Meaning the entirety of the patch is in a quantum state where it both has and hasnt got a shiny(because its garantueed to have one).
      Yeah, statistics and mathematics is weird when there are 100% garantuees. They still work, but its because we check. If we stop checking for given garantuees, we'll never find them.
      Now that tricky one is out of the way. The final one.
      It is a paradox since tradingsystems dont check who the person is who sends it, just what is registered with the pokeball(as the information stays the same after the transfer), it never registers who secondary or following owners are. And considering the tradingsystem traded the pokemon was a legal one(even though the pokemon was gotten in an illegal way), the one leaving with the pokemon is the rightful owner to the traded one because both sides were willingly trading pokemon with each other. This problem, like the previous one, is based on a lottery, but has nothing to do with special relativity, so dont worry. Now lets imagine if someone steals 10$ to buy a lottery ticket and win the jackpot. Does that mean the jackpot is yours because he bought the ticket with it? Or does it belong to him since he bought the ticket, even though it was stolen money?
      This one is more similar to the third one actually, since its a grey area. Because in reality, he owes you what was stolen, not what he aquired with what was stolen. If what was stolen has been unretrievably lost, we hit a grey area which again requires a debate with tons of arguments and a jury. Some will end up giving the original owner the retrieved pokemon, others will end up requiring the thief to either refund and otherwise compensating with interest(which in case of the jackpot means the original owner always at least gets 10$ back because what thief is idiotic enough to trade back the jackpot?), but since pokemon are more specific and the question is just about the pokemon in question, I'd say that legally it belongs to the thief due to the trading machine regulations, but that doesnt mean the thief isnt required to get the pokemon back that he stole.
      You can slap an answer on them after looking for details, but that doesnt mean the answers are correct. I agree the first one does have an answer(its based on a parallel universe where there is a parallel earth, but what they call water is a substance of XyZ instead of H2O). But instead of calling different substances the same name its a bit easier since they call the same thing different names based on what they say, which already happens in the real world, sort off. But the others dont have a definite answer, just a conclusion in a grey area based on laws and regulations. Since everything luckily takes place in 1 pokemon world where the laws are pretty much universal no matter what, its a bit easier to conclude what they most likely end up with:
      1- just lingual difference in hearing what an animal says, I hear miauw, others hear meow or nyan. Its just a silly thing to call animals to what they say anyway. Imagine calling different dog species bark, woof, arf or roof.
      2- surprisingly, we dont have to look very far for this one, as in generation 4 we get a palpark and recatch pokemon that already have been caught in gen 3, meaning that the old pokeball isnt usable on the pokemon after its replaced(in contrary to pc's).
      3- Since I already talked about the legality, as soon as the battle ended, the contract would be declared void since the battle regulations are a stronger regulation than a freelance teacher and a student with a vocal contract. Meaning whoever loses has to pay the winner of the battle and are not bound to the student-teacher contract.
      4- another easy one, the shiny was garantueed to be in there. The rest doesnt matter much. Probablistically seen, its in a quantum state because one is garantueed, meaning there is no way to tell if its there(which sounds weird, but trust me, the entire reason why shinies work in the game is because they arent pre-programmed to appear in wild encounters).
      5- The recieved pokemon belongs to the thief, legally seen. I think I already explained why.

    1. Pokemon are named after what they say, because there's never been a undiscovered Pokemon who hasn't been named. The only exception are Pokemon who don't speak their names, such as legendaries.
    As for languages, real world regions are separated in their own dimensions as explained in US/UM.
    2. Pokeballs are merely the outer shell, its the core inside them that contains the Pokemon, so it would be the same Pokeball. If the old parts were put together, the ball would not function, so it would not be the same.
    3. The teacher is right, as it was made explicitly clear he would pay after winning the first battle. The student didn't opt out of the agreement, if he did, then he wouldn't pay.
    4. Game mechanic wise, this is correct, none of the patches of grass are guaranteed to have the shiny. It's the percentage that counts, not the number of grass.
    5. Using game mechanics, the Pokemon would belong to the original trainer. Because even if the thief stole it, it would still count as a traded Pokemon, because the Pokemon belonged to the original trainer first.

    MY TRAINER PARADOX ANSWER: When the thief takes the pokeball it is still the trainer's pokemon so when it is traded away the trainer is technically trading it away, it is just being handled by another person. So it is now in possession of the person who did the trade. Also, in the game you can only trade but in the anime you can give it away, that person gave Brock a vulpix but did not get anything in return.

      My prediction is that Pokémon is in da future because humans decided that animals would go extinct if they didn't act soon so they decided to create a way to capture animals and use them to battle and the animals evolved to new forms to adapt and then they were able to evolve and wow this just sounds stupid now but maybe Pokémon will be our future
      If it was then that would be so cool

      Well, as we know, for example, the Pokemon Pidgey is a bird in our world. But they are also called birds in the Pokemon world. I think, as an example, "bird" is simply what they categorize pidgey and spearow and the rest as.Like we do.

    the first paradox is the reason i'd rather have pokemon using their in-game cries rather than saying their name
