Did you know they messed up dragonite and garados?
Magikarp was supposed to evolve into dragonite
And dragonair into garados.

[Crystallyn Whisper]

Wha...? O_O Dragonair to Gyarados I can see, but Magikarp to Dragonite? wat

[Asami]

According to the legends. Research your pokemon stuffs.
Its a true fact man

[Ultima]

I think you mean true conspiracy. A lot of conspiracies like that are often presented as truth. Unless you read it on a legitimate pokemon site, I think it's just conspiracy/rumor =/

[Crystallyn Whisper]

Kind of like the Cubone and Kangaskhan thing?

[Ultima]

And the "ditto is a failed mew" and the "you killed your rival's raticate" and
"venonat->butterfree, caterpie->metapod->venomoth" and "gengar is clefairy's shadow" ... I don't think any of these are legitimately supposed to be true. Just conspiracies/rumors fans made.

[Crystallyn Whisper]

Those are just silly. > w< Trying to make sense of the Ditto being a failed Mew is not a good thing for my think braining. DX

[Ultima]

Heh, I found a whole list of them somewhere explaining each one. It was interesting, but I doubt any are actually true.

[Crystallyn Whisper]

I think I figured out the Mew-Ditto thing. Mew is actually ice cream that melted into Ditto. My brain is happy now. :3

[Ultima]

That is exactly what must have happened XD

[Crystallyn Whisper]

Oh goodness, I'm already spouting sleepy nonsense and it's only 7PM. D:

[Asami]

I think some of them are true just not all. -.

[Gallagher]

I don't buy any of it. They're neat ideas, yeah, but... No. Yeah, no. It doesn't make sense, not if you know where Magikarp->Gyarados theme comes from in the first place. It's based on what, more of a color similarity? ... I don't buy it. Def not tru fax.

[Crystallyn Whisper]

What is the Magikarp -> Gyarados thing? o 3o

[Gallagher]

It's something along the lines of if a carp is able to swim up the river and over a waterfall on a legendary mountain, they'll be transformed into a dragon... It's a Chinese myth, so of course it would look like a Chinese dragon like gyarados is. It's called Dragon's Gate, I believe. And for that matter, dratini and dragonair are, I think, some sort of imoogi, so their evolution makes sense as well, when you know the myth.

[Crystallyn Whisper]

That's so cool. I had no idea. I have a new found respect for Magikarp. ; w;
