I think there's a stronger argument for Togepi being a Sinnoh Pokemon thanks to it being found in the wild in Legends Arceus, that said it's likely either near extinct or so critically endangered that its population is only kept up through controlled breeding efforts, which would explain why cynthia has an egg to give you in platinum, and why its so rare in Galar, it's possible that their evolutions used to lay their eggs around these areas, but that their populations have been for whatever reason devastated.

The evolutions of the kantonain pokemon didn’t exist because the catalyst that fostered their evolution did not exist in Kanto. Just like animals evolve in the real world based on the reason they live, so do pokemon…

Yes play there now you don't have to watch the video

cool video and really interesting! with regards to exeggecute being from alola, it could spread seeds like coconuts do across the ocean. just float or hitch a ride with humans.

The mewtwo video sounds great

Togepi and all its evolutions are found in legends arceus, someone could have taken the egg to kanto for anime and johto in game

Now that I think about it wouldn't the place where you can find said Pokemon in abundance be the native region, surly finding a pokemon in low quantities would imply that they aren't native rather migratory, invasive or even imported

I think Togepi and togetic are sinnoh pokemon because they can be found in hisui in the wild and are still catchable in sinnoh, altough it is through pokeradar. (sorry if my english is bad I am german)

A more boring but logical reason for Houndour, the Murkrow, and Slugma line being Johto Pokémon despite not being found in the region in GSC/HGSS (the latter only normally) is simply because they migrated to Kanto from Johto between Gen I/III and Gen II/IV like the Johto Pokémon encountered in both regions and the formerly Kanto Pokémon now only found in Johto in those games likely did and. Could also have come from the Sevii Islands - Houndour being meant to appear in the Altering Cave before the e-Reader cards that'd unlock it were scrapped. Team Rocket took control of Silph Co. for, like, a day tops - not nearly long enough to have seriously messed with their production schedule let alone the Poké Balls they produced. That having been said, Team Rocket also doesn't need to be involved since a defect in the Poké Balls Silph Co. produced and sold in Kanto was unintentionally preventing held-item trade and friendship evolutions from working in the Kanto games - a defect that is fixed by a firmware update in FRLG after obtaining the National Dex. Sudowoodo, Johto Starters, Tyrogue and Togepi lines go into the "that monster Baba drove them into hiding/near-extinction with his attempt to create a Johto Safari Zone" theory. Darn old man is a fake Pokémon conservationist who schemes were thankfully put to a premature end in Let's Go! Pikachu/Eevee, and many dumps will be taken on his grave by his former victims in Johto remakes.

I don't want to rain on your parade or anything considering that Porygon can travel through cyberspace it doesn't really matter where on Earth you find it.

If you're sticking to game canon, it needs to be said that Team Rocket doesn't seem to have had anything to do with Mewtwo's creation in the games proper: that was Dr. Fuji before he became Mr. Fuji to atone for his sins. Team Rocket likely had nothing to do with Porygon's creation, either, because Giovanni would not still be pressing the company's president for the secrets of the Master Ball if they'd taken control of Saffron City any sooner than after you defeat Giovanni the first time. The Rocket Game Corner likely had Porygon as a prize because while it was ultimately a front for Team Rocket, it was still presented as a legitimate business; albeit it was probably a arrangement that Silph Co. regretted. Regarding the starters, they seem to be as rare as the games want them to be. The Sinnoh starters in Legends Arceus and all the non-Paldea starters in The Indigo Disk can be found in the wild (with an asterisk in the latter example) because they aren't the starter Pokémon of those games - and in the former example and X & Y, even the starters of those games can be caught via Space-Time Distortions and Friend Safari respectively. The Let's Go! games are an interesting case because while the Kanto starters being catchable in the wild tracks with them being treated as rare Pokémon rather than starters, the Partner Pikachu and Partner Eevee remain exclusive as starters being their appearances and stats differ from the wild Pikachu and Eevee you can catch. Is it really wise to include the Kangaskhan = Cubone's mom fan theory when one need only look to the games to see that from Day 1, the ghost of Cubone's mother has always been a Marowak? If we're throwing crazy theories around, here's mine: the Safari Zone doesn't conserve shit. The Pokémon available in limited quantities in Gen I and Gen III are limited because they ran fled the region to avoid capture by the Kanto Safari Zone's vile poachers, or were brought to near-extinction in order to artificially increase the value of the species they did capture. The ecology of both Kanto and Johto are still recovering by the time of Gen II and Gen IV even after the Safari Zone was shut down by law enforcement and Safari Warden Baba hiding in Johto ready to start his business all over again. In the Let's Go! continuity, however, Baba was caught earlier before his culling could begin - leading to the Kanto starters, Eevee line, Tyrogue line (or rather, Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan), Mr. Mime, Snorlax, and others being free to roam the wild (albeit still pretty rare) after they finished teabagging Baba's corpse after he got the chair.

Let's be honest: you can't find the Kanto starters, Eevee, Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, Lapras, Mr. Mime, Jynx and Farfetch'd (with some exceptions), and the Pokémon that can only be found in the Kanto Safari Zone in Gens I and III can't normally be caught in the wild by the player gameplay purposes; and besides the starters (and version-exclusive Pokémon), these mechanics have been downplayed or non-existent in recent titles. Despite being an alternate continuity, one could make the case for the Let's Go! games being an honest reflection of how rare the Pokémon are in the wild in modern terms as besides it being possible to capture multiple legendary birds, Pokémon availability reflects more modern trends.

I know you're overthinking it for fun, but it feels like some major 'GAME THEORY' stuff

Interesting to note Totodile is catchable in Alola.

I feel like Slugma is from Hoenn

Do you really believe there was a volcano on Cinnabar? We’ve literally never seen it. What we _have_ seen, however, is Mewtwo completely obliterating an island laboratory. Makes a bit more sense with that context.

But Togepi is avaible in Hisuhi

Maybe Team Rocket was hording Dark Types to try and beat/capture Mewtwo

hey guys. i just want to leave a message and say that your channel is my comfort for when i’m going through tough times. i’ve probably watched your Pokemon Gen 1 play through around 3 times now, and am only now finding this playthrough. thank you for the calming presence of your videos :]

except togetic flies around Hisui marshlands? And since that game is prior to gen 8 in the timeline would make togepi a hisui native then taken to other regions like galas THEN Kanto?

19:51 call Kamala Harris

20 minutes to explain that evolutions and pre evolutions of kanto Pokémon, and Johto Pokémon found in Kanto are, in fact, from Kanto. Great

Horsea/Seadra could be doing seasonal migration. Kanto is where they breed, Johto is where the better food is?

Bellosom should be Johtonian Vileplume, Slowking should be the Johtonian slowbro, Cleavor should be the hissuian Scizor, and Politoed should be the Johtonian Poliwrath.

I just assumed Celadon/Saffron are the dangerous cities with Team Rocket/gang activity and the locals know to stay inside at night.

5:08 It's still wild to me that Slugma and Skarmory are gen 2. It just feels wrong.

You could address Ash's Pikachu. It was a Pichu. Was it kantonian? Or from Johto?

The flaw I see in the idea that Rocket messed with Pokeballs, keeping friendship locked below the threshold is that at the end of the game Oak points out that Red treated his Pokemon well, it's this bond that they shared that allowed them to overcome Blue and his team. That feels very cheapened if it turns out that Red's Pokemon were only... Moderately happy with Red.

I disagree with the slugma thing. The idea that they'd be BLOWN all the way there is ludicrous. What I think happened is that the tectonic fault line that was connected to Cinnabar's volcano ran through the Cycling Road. Since the main pressure release was through the volcano itself it didn't cause too much trouble along Cycling Road, but it DID disturb the slugma enough to come to the surface. You might remember that Cycling Road is where you find ponyta which, according to Pokémon Snap are also attracted to volcanic areas. So you probably had some seismic activity in the area just along the coast, but it veered off into the ocean rather than more inland.

I would like to clarify that the fossil Pokemon do not appear in Legends: Arceus naturally... They appear _exclusively_ in Space-Time Distortions, implying that they lived a lot farther in the past than the games take place (that said, Aerodactyl still doesn't appear in Space-Time Distortions).

My biggest take away from this is that they should add some kind of ancient mosquito Pokemon at some point, possibly as a small chance to be revived from old amber _instead_ of Aerodactyl... Or heck, make things interesting, have the DNA from the mosquito get mixed up with Aerodactyl's DNA and make a weird dinosaur mosquito hybrid Pokemon, like the fossil Pokemon in Galar. :3

this premise makes zero sense but hey the algorithm doesnt care so why should we

As for the baby Pokémon you could easily argue that there are a lot of places we can see as the players and can't get to in gen 1. So it would be the most logical thing that the babies were hidden there. It is common for animals to hide their young where predators would have a hard time getting to or finding. So they were always there, but like the woods around Pallet we just couldn't reach it and that's where they hide.

Eevee is from alola, they are abundant there. And evolved forms show up as well

the radio tower forced pokemon to evolve; so would team rocket potentially used it to stop pokemon from evolving?

Lapras is also native to the Sevii Islands in South Kanto.

Personally, I'd count Cyndaquill as a Sinnoh pokemon, since in BDSP, they're everywhere in the underground.

I thought this came out from when Sw/Sh were the newest games cause in Legends: Arceus you can catch wild Togepi and the starters are implied to be originally from their home region but now only exist in captivity for whatever reason

I have a theory for Aerodactyl. What if Aerodactyl is native to Kalos? Accroding to the ganes Aerodactyl’s mega evolution is how it actually looked like before going extinct. So, that means that there’s some DNA/energy lost from the original pokemon when reviving it, but somehow that DNA/energy is preserved through the mega-stone, which can only be found in Kalos. Hoenn just happens to be close to Kalos and mega stones are imported into Alola

I always just assumed team rocket was having a poor impact on kanto's environment (implied by more than a fifth of gen 1's dex being poison type and grimers spawning in the pool just above rockets hideout in celedon) and that hinders pokemon's mental health enough to prevent happiness based evolutions. your theory does sound just as plausible though!

Worth noting: eevee was a pretty rare pokemon until recently.

I thought the whole Murkrow and Houndour thing may have something to do with their habitats being disturbed by the construction of the Maglev Train.... My head cannon for Houndour though is that the contruction workers employed Houndour as guard dogs during the construction of the train line, however when the construction was completed and some of the workers left for other projects, some Houndours decieded to stay behind.

There's nothing selling me on any of team rocket stuff. Slugma appearing after the eruption is solid. Murkrow could have migrated from the sinnoh region where it evolved. Hold item evolved pokemon are simple no one thought to try it. They were probably were accidentally discovered, especially the trade ones. Houndour could've just very rare and and hard to notice or approach. Even in game they have a very low encounter rate. Happiness pokemon excluding Golbat were all very rare pokemon. Golbat could have been hard to bond with and were possibly stigmatized because team rocket liked using them. I do wonder if team rocket engineered dark type specifically to counter Mewtwo.

The only flaw i see with the happiness thing is that pokemon transferred from gen 1 to gen 2 (thus, pokemon caught with the happiness "restrictive" balls) can still gain happiness and evolve. Very cool ideas though, I love explorations like this!

Thanks for thinking of me as good but that in it's own doesn't get us to HEAVEN

Gen2 takes place 3 years after Gen1. More Pokemon would have either evolved or migrated in that time

Pokemon Rocket Red is mostly cannon in my opinion.

Gen 2 Pokemon is one of the best sequals of the 90's. Not the best, that is almost certainly Sonic 2 or AoE2, but one of the best.

i going to agree the player character didn't go out at night but it was bc of a myth that there was something scary at night time, and if you want to link team rocket to it you could say giovanni made propaganda saying its dangerous to be out at night time and so people just went to sleep at night and people completely trusted in this info and after team rocket went away ppl started finding its safe
