Geography and Geopolitics

  • The regions of the first four generations comprise a political ring / confederation. There are various such region-rings across the world, not necessarily comprised of regions sharing borders, and they act more or less like the concept of "friend" / "brother countries". Unova is part of another ring with other three regions, one of which might be the Angela Region.


Biology

  • From a biodiversity standpoint, Humans Are Aliens. They were brought from somewhere else in the universe, as were some Pokémon species. The humans we see are descendants of a Generation Ship that crash-landed on the planet (or on its moon) way long ago.
    • My fave cross-franchise interpretation is that it was probably the SDF-3, that was rescued from the Neutron-S black hole by Arceus.
  • Extra-planetary mons:
    • Clefable line are adventurers and traders who go around collecting "primeval rocks" for worship, including Moon Stones.
    • Lunatone and Solrock are intra-solar system species of unknown origin.
    • Elgyem line come from very far, from a planet thought to be Mercury-like.
    • Deoxys is a virus originated from somewhere that migrates from mon-world to mon-world siphoning the same types of energy that comprise the Jewel of Life; it is, in a way, a variant on the concept of JENOVA.
    • The Latii were also originally aliens from a world with more water, but have adapted to living in this planet.
  • Arachnids, arthropods, molluscs and fishes from our reality are more or less a thing that exists. Plankton as well, and of course various kinds of vegetation.
  • Nidorina can breed perfectly and do that a lot, thanks. Nidoking is (mostly, in the wild) infertile instead.
  • Espeon and Umbreon are considered "feline" mons.
  • Leafeon and Glaceon are considered "canine" mons.
  • Due to the heavily skewed gender ratio in the wild, female Ninetales actively compete looking for mates, and in case of a dispute longlived females with a lot of stored mystical power usually solve it by what amounts to witchcraft duels to the death.
  • The "head" in a Girafarig's tail is pseudo-sapient (it has enough sensitive capability for the individual to "fake" it being aware).
  • During solstices and equinoxes, Solrock and Lunatone sometimes become comatose or inert for unknown reasons, and wild ones tend to disappear or fly high to the atmosphere.
  • "Breeding moves" are actually a mixture of two concepts -- moves for which genetic disposition is passed down (such as developing a omnisac with better fire handling from a Fire-type's genes) and communal tutoring in areas where Pokémon of different species live together.
  • [Tagg / Pikaninja] Urnagrigus are a thing (of the past, for the most part, but still a thing).
  • Pokémon tend to not mate outside their species, and even in the rare case where they do, they usually stay within their egg group (obviously) and body shape. So, no HSOWA.
  • The Hidden Power type a Pokémon is born with is not exactly random; among others, Latii can predict the HP a Mon will be born with.
  • There are likely only a fixed amount of Golett / Gollurk in existence, with the original procedure to create them lost to time and efforts to produce them artificially ongoing. It is also rumored that a device exists that can control all Golett and Gollurk at a time.
  • Stantler can have the Illusion ability.

Society

  • Alongside their starter, kids starting their Trainer Leave from school tend to receive as well a TM disc as a gift, with all students from the same class getting the same technique (depending on movepool availability for their Starters). Return happens to be the default / easy choice.
  • A region's E4 fulfill functions similar to that of Section 9 in Ghost in the Shell, but more public.
  • The Pokémon verse has more or less a common language, which is probably something constructed and regular like Esperanto or Ido. However in speech regional languages are preferred.
  • [Tracer] Blitzball, the sport from FFX, is a mostly mon-driven sport in the Pokéverse.
  • Under certain conditions, trained Pokémon can earn their own wage and acquire goods by contract of law. Most of those conditions involve service to other Pokémon living in its immediate society / environment, such as housing stray mons or assisting in a Pokémon Center.
    • Psychic Pokémon serving with the police can not scan a subject's mind by themselves - they can only do so under supervision by either another Psychic Pokémon serving to the subject's defendant lawyer, or by a Psychic from the ADA approved by law.
    • Some human-shape or high-thought Pokémon lines such as Abra and Riolu are allowed to own land in a joint contract.
  • The predominant means of medium-mass transportation are train (land), yatches (sea) and zeppelins (air), because trains are nostalgia d'awww and zeppelins make a setting awesome by default; yatches because people tend to stay at ports for long periods at a time.
  • [partially] There's no Dark-type Gym. Anywhere. Probably there hasn't been any for a long time. All potential candidates who attempt to launch an official Gym (anime says unofficial Gyms are a thing) suffer various misadventures that prevent such Gyms from becoming functional. The reason behind this is that someone, probably Annoski, put the concept of Dark-Type Gyms under a curse.
  • The Gold Conference is a tournament between the four regions of the Kanjoh-Hoenn-Sinnoh political ring that takes place once every two years. In fic!verse the last winner before the events of the story was Agatha.
  • Of all the starters, Piplup is the mon that wins the most polls for mass adoption events. Despite this, of the first 4 generations, Totodile and Chimchar are the most common ones in active status.
  • Hoenn was among the first regions to launch campaigns denouncing the discrimination towards male Kirlia. Kanto followed against discrimination against female Machoke.
  • Trainers who beat their own regional Conference receive a one-year-valid invitation to face the corresponding Elite Four and the Champion in a prearranged event. If the Trainer is of at least age 16, has a record of exemplary service to the community and the police and manages to beat the Champion, he / she is offered the position of Regional Joint Champion.
    • Red is the only known exception to that rule, having been offered the position at age 12.
  • Among some Pokémon that no Trainer under the age of 13 is allowed to have unless by a special permit are: Fossil Mons, Scyther, Pinsir, Porygon-2 and Porygon-Z, Flygon, Dusknoir, Absol, Drapion, Golett and Volcarona.
  • Killing a wild one of some rare Pokémon such as Ninetales (in particular if male) is a criminal offense that in some regions defaults to life with parole, with nothing short of a Gym Leader's intervention being able to change the veredict.
  • The Battle Frontiers are in a way counterparts to Gym Leaders and E4 who seek out primarily for their own profit and are not beyond political manipulation or hunting Legendaries to achieve it, but still do some social service and stay far within the law than eg.: Team Rocket. They are closer to what eg.: Enron and PG&E were than to a PMC. One of the reasons why their base is a flying airship is to easily circumvent national jurisdictions.
  • Political borders are usually defined in terms of the borders of large wild populations, preserves, and critical topographical accidents (such as craters, ravines or mountainwalls). This is to prevent Trainers from using their Pokémon to house and move goods across disputed territory, be it by accident or not.


History and Mythology

  • In ancient times, before Humans were brought into the world, Groudon and Kyogre periodically waged wars where they rallied marine and land mons against each other, with results that relatively often led to the extinction of one species or two per war.
  • At the time of the events in Generation I the calendar is rolling around Year 3720. What event marked Year 0 is [REDACTED] however.
  • Up until their adoption as starters in some regions, pyrosacs from the Cyndaquil line were considered a delicacy.
  • PEFE as a thing. Its fic!verse incarnation is not as MegaCorp / Portal -ish as in WAAPT though.
  • PEFE was founded by Tangent, Tagg and Tracer (the "three Ts"). Silent, Anom and Jane were among the first wave of researchers to join.
  • Due to internal disputes over who gets to pet study Espeons, the Eevee article has not been released for 3 years.
  • Kanto was the first region to revivify a Omanyte. Hoenn was the first region to revivify an Anorith. Unova was the first region to revivify an Archen.

Ancient History

  • Umbramatic's Alakagross Civilization was a thing, long ago; though they met their demise by a different (still related) chain of events.
  • Stantler and Manectric were among the first species to be actively domesticated by humans; whereas Growlithe and Glameow came along pretty much on their own accord.

Recent History

  • There was a recent time where Aggron was the most common cause of human deceases in the age range of 12-15.
  • Humans have reached the Moon exactly three times. Half the other attempts have been cut to avoid being shot down by Rayquaza, and the other remaining half have resulted in the establishment of a small, but semipermanent, low-orbit population.

Notable People / Mons

  • The first Pokémon-ex in recorded history were a Luxray, a Salamence and a Gardevoir.
  • Oak was the Kanjoh Champion at some point, being the second or third person to hold the position before Red. Hence why he was available as a battle in Gen 1 by hacking.
  • [Tangent / Rex] Giovanni is not dead. He took a graceful swan dive from Tohjo Falls that earned him a 8.8 from a random wild mon (who was consequently mauled by Nino, his Nidoking).
  • Steven is the actual Champion of the Hoenn League, but Wallace is officially running the position because Steven is too busy running special-ops, with a combat ability that is borderline Jack Bauer.
  • Cilan and the other C-brothers are actually not only members of the Shadow Triad, but they reached that position by "suiciding" the former holders of those roles.
  • No, Silver, Mars and Roark are not siblings, and most likely not cousins either. The imagery is cute enough though~.
  • [Dagzar's Mentor] Oak and Agatha were an item, and it is rumored they had a child.
  • Purple Eyes is one of four figures in the verse for whom the International Police have used both the "kill on sight" and "flee at all costs" flags.

The "player characters":

  • Red (mons include Bulbasaur, Poliwag, Cleffa)
  • Jimmy from Legend of Thunder (mons include Cyndaquil, Sudowoodo, Weedle)
  • Brendan in a portayal closer to the Special manga (mons include Mudkip, Shiftry, Poochyena)
  • Dawn (mons include Chimchar, Bronzor, Shinx)
  •  ????/undecided (mons include Oshawott, Mienfoo)

Technology

  • CDs (or DVDs) are used for distribution of TM techniques as tutorials or... something.
  • For personal / persistent information storage, "infinitapes" using the same concept of the Pokéballs are a thing. Because tapes are awesome.
  • Porygon was a joint development between Silph, an important Kanto university and three other worlwide institutions. The original purpose of the project was to create a easily adaptable, packageable Pokémon entity that could assist in higher-orbit space exploration. Silph owns the patents and copyright of the AI code.
  • Linux distributions are the dominant thing. They tend to have Ubuntu-like names. The following ones are canon in my fic-in-development:
    • Florencian Fraxure.
    • Iridescent Infernape.
    • Solipsist Sandshrew.
    • Uniformed Ursaring.
  • Despite the advanced state of SCIENCE and stuff, predictive models and speculation on areas such as meteorology and economics are as bad, if not worse, as in our real verse. Widespread adoption of Weather moves as TMs doesn't really help matters…

Legendaries's Stuff

  • Various armies do have operational plans in case for example Dialga decides to assist them during a crisis.
  • Legendaries are classified usually in two axis: (apparent) power level and (public) worship.
  • Not all Legendaries are "divine" or anything nearby, not all of them possess power "otherworldly" in a Pokémon context, and not all of them are revered as deities or devils of some sort. All of them have some sort of following though.
  • The power level difference between power tiers is abysmal when considered from a human scale. However, Legendaries rarely have the need to exert such amount of power and in fact seem to be mostly content with a couple of displays for show; it is even rumored that the reason why a Trainer can get extremely lucky and "catch" a Legendary is that the Pokémon in question wants to take a vacation for a week or two or just blast stuff all around for show.
  • Legendaries as deities are not exactly "good" or "evil", they just fulfill a role beyond the scope of human lifetimes. For example, Regigigas sometimes has to move an entire continent, which could cause mass destruction and the end of entire civilizations, but has to be done in order to eg.: release pressure from within the planet core.
    • Arceus is way wicked. If he didn't create the universe, he does still have power in a scale that would be considered divine even after humans's expansion of knowledge. Probably enough power to create a small galaxy or something. So no, he's not going to die from a space pebble to the knee, or from a cup of silverwater / asphalt. These rumors were probably originated from Mewian Zealots.
    • Rayquaza. Low-orbit Atmosphere. Solar Beam. PILLAR OF LIGHT DEATH FROM THE HEAVENS!
    • The equivalent of the Tunguska event in the Pokémon verse was Rayquaza trying his Solar Beam during a solar flare.
    • While Articuno is the most powerful of the three birds (Sheer Cold among other things), Zapdos is the one that wins most of their skirmishes, since unlike its counterparts it doesn't need to actually turn and aim at another Bird.
    • Mew bind their power so that they can use only one or two moves per type giving them full power; in order to access other attacks at full power, they need to Transform into an adequate Pokémon.
    • There is only one Celebi. Any sightings of multiple Celebi are actually the same Celebi travelling from various other timecoordinates.
    • Regigigas and the Regis have a more or less robotic mind, built to follow orders from higher beings written into an element-based code sometimes called the Divine Command. When no such command is active though, they can display small bursts of initiative and they can follow commands or advice from nearby mons or a Trainer.
  • Three Legendaries of the same Trio can summon all their power and unleash it against another whole Trio, which results in an "Arceus Exhalation".
  • For each soul or consciousness that exists or can exist, there is a corresponding Unown. Killing a Unown (in itself an incredibly roundabout task) kills the linked consciousness, turning its wearer into essentially a mere animal.

On Legendary Genders:

  • The Legendary Birds all identify as "female".
  • Dialga and Palkia "are", in a way, female and male respectively.
  • [An-chan & others @ Poké-community] Giratina "is", in the same way, "female" respectively.
  • Mew overall identify themselves as "male".


On the power levels of Legendaries, and how to (not!) battle them:

  • Some trio members such as Articuno or Raikou can be defeated by a team of Elite or Champion level, or even Ace level, if the team is prepared enough and the Legendary in question feels like doing it for the art. If these Legendaries feel the need to be ruthless, it takes careful preparation and multiple teams that can fight for for enough time to tire them out if one wants to defeat them.
    • Attempting to fight any of the three birds in environments convenient for them is grossly recommended against. If feeling like just wanting to end the battle, Articuno can whip out a snow storm or an avalanche with enough reach that it could endanger nearby settlements and Pokémon populations.
    • Attempting to battle any of the three Legendary Beasts in an open space? You will be lucky if the battle lasts more than three or four "turns" before either your team is wiped out or the Legendary in question simply turns tail and disappears.
  • The three Regis can be sensibly held back by synchronized teams of Ace or above level, as these Pokémon are not very smart or cunning; still, it takes a team of Elite level or above to actually knock them down.
  • Regigigas is a different story. When not carrying out a Divine Command and still under the effect of Slow Start, it can be held back easily by a Champion level team making good use of the terrain and status attacks. When Slow Start's effect is over and a Divine Command is activated though, Regigigas is unstoppable by all practical teams usually achievable by man, and it takes military or Legendary intervention to slow it down.
    • If Regigigas were to assist itself by taking control of a Regi Trio, you and your military have two choices: unleash all your fighters onto them and hope that you can disable the Trio and maintain the attack for long enough for the Divine Command to pass, or just stand aside and let them do as they please.
  • It is very unlikely that Pokémon such as Lugia, Cresselia or Reshiram could be sensibly defeated by a single trainer; however, these Pokémon love one-on-one battling more than they like going into wars, and thus they conduct battles very ceremoniously and fairly. Still, it takes an Elite or above level team to sustain persistent damage from their attacks for more than a couple of minutes though.
    • Outright defeating a one of these Legendaries depends completely on whether the Trainer knew in advance the kind of battle they were getting into.
    • Managing to tie or win a battle against one of these Legendaries can be kind of a cursed blessing though - even though they'll reward you greatly, you might also become the focus of each of their counterpart's attentions, who will come to you insisting on a battle.
  • Groudon, Kyogre and Rayquaza have the opposite behaviour - they love all out warring, and they dislike and dismiss challenges (as they existed and handled the world their own ways since primeval times that make The Vow feel like it was in yesterday's newspaper). Because their large-scale terraforming powers are slow to take effect though, it is possible for squads of synchronized Champion level teams to hold them back and defeat them if they act quickly and summarily. If these creatures go all out, nothing short of full-scale military intervention can hold them back, and once their powers are fully activated there's pretty much not stopping them.
    • Challenging, or getting a challenge from, Kyogre is very difficult to handle for humans as this Legendary prefers to battle at open sea and several hundreds of meters underwater.
    • When Rayquaza feels summarily disrespected, he usually issues a warning roar against the offenders, and then proceeds to vaporize one of their towns or cities off the map with a single beam from above.
    • In general terms it usually takes another Legendary to be able to properly subdue any of the members of this Trio.
  • The Triforce Legendaries are theoretically outside the capabilities of any team no matter their level to thoroughly defeat. They also take it badly to be faced by multiple opponents. However, it is possible to challenge them to battles and fare very well (as in, being defeated without any lasting damage) if you can somehow prove to them that you are not doing it for your own purposes.
    • Having assistance from two or more Unown multiplies the chances of defeating a Triforce Legendary about tenfold, because of their ability to interact more directly with reality that any normal Pokémon can and negate the Triforcers's interference on mind and spirit traits.
    • Because of their ability to link directly to emotions and knowledge, they are actually empowered by fighting "balanced" people. It so happens that psychopaths, amnesiacs or Trainers assisting themselves by an AI fare notably better when fighting them than a run-of-the-mill experienced trainer.
  • Latias and Latios are very definitively beatable in single combat, and they can be thoroughly defeated by an Ace or Elite team provided the Legendary does not take you by surprise and does not make use of their more mystical abilities.
    • The fact that it is them challenging Trainers instead of the other way around however means that battles tend not to happen outside of their terms.
    • While they are beatable on their own terms, never under any circumstance let a Soul Dew be a factor in the battle, under your or their possession. If a Latii feels like it has to take a Soul Dew from you, nothing short of intervention from another Legendary will save you from their many tricks - that assuming any Legendary would side with you at all.
  • The members of the Kami Trio can be fought and defeated by Champion level teams, but because of their link to nature any damage done to them is usually not any lasting. In case they need to be halted in a more serious manner, usually intervention at a social scale is needed, such as burning entire crops or leveling entire forests.
  • Single Mew and presumably Mewtwo could be, theoretically, held back and defeated by a Champion level team that had no glaring weaknesses and that had much experience in switching strategies in real time as well as fighting not only against the Pokémon but also against the background / environment. In practice however it takes at least a team including some Pokémon-ex to be able to fight against a Mew properly because of the sheer amount of moves and strategies they can pull off.
  • Celebi, Manaphy and Victini can be fought against and held back by Elite or Champion level teams with proper care not to induce their special abilities. They can also be damaged in roundabout ways just like the Kami Trio can, but given their power you have to pray that they will be weakened enough before they choose to react to your "cheating".
  • Jirachi can not be sensibly harmed directly without extensive preparation. While it is not an exceedingly powerful Pokémon on its own, it does store power for incredibly long periods of time (a thousand years at a time, more or less) and thus requires special treatment in order to battle properly. In general, challenging a Jirachi requires months of preparation and picking the right time and place.
  • Of all the "sprite" Legendaries, Celebi is the one most likely to challenge a Trainer to a battle, if it (she?) does so, don't be any surprised to tie or even win, as the Legendary is probably comparing your battle information against something else across the timeline.
  • Challenging the Creation Trio directly is pretty much out of the question for anything short of entire teams of Pokémon-ex, unless these Legendaries have been tremendously weakened beforehand, and even then if they decide to use their more mystical abilities it's an instant Game Over. Fancy Mercury three minutes before the Sun goes supernova? Because that's where and when they'll banish you if you annoy them enough.

On dealing with Arceus:

Don't make me laugh. Or, let's see, do try.

Even assuming the godly figure decides to scale power down to the level of lesser Legendaries, you are fighting against a creature that has at least twelve times the vitality and stamina of any of the Creation Trio members, can change type at will and near-instantly, can reshape and mutate energy of any time in the ambient, can know any and all of your planned strategies in advance and can, if feeling irked, just take the elemental energy from any moves your Pokémon use or even from the Pokémon themselves and banish it, or them, to the "Lost Zone", the nonplace of uncreation, forever.

When feeling vicious, Arceus can wipe the floor with Mewtwo or the Creation Trio in under a minute.

If you do perform well enough against Arceus in a prearranged battle and you show to be the right kind of person, though, you might just be lucky enough that He lets you keep one of His Elemental Plates for a fairly good amount of time; heck, he will probably even let you choose which one. How long will you get to keep the Plate can easily be your entire lifetime unless He feels the need to retrieve it before (which would probably mean a crisis dire enough that you can consider your life ended if Arceus doesn't intervene anyway).

Because of Arceus's special abilities it is considered that nothing short of a Trainer with a squad of 20-something Unown and deep knowledge of the Divine Command language could be enough of a match at full force, and even then each move would be at a scale of "who gets to build more of a new planet / solar system before the other wipes it out".

Unsorted

  • Splash does do something. And it would do damage. You just don't get hit with it because you see it usually being used on land.
  • Teleportation tiles do not make you do the swirly dance, it's just an optical illusion due to the way they work, as they warp light in various directions and velocities until finding a "dimension-hole" path to the destination. You'll probably still feel nauseaous afterwards anyway.
  • The reason there are no (notable) firearms, no apparent city-leveling weaponry, and that conflicts are solved with card games Pokémon Battles first and foremost (even when it's a Rocket grunt trying to take your mons) is that some traits were removed from the human mindset by the Legendaries when mankind was allowed to roam free across the planet.
    • The net effect is that mankind in the Pokémon planet lacks some neuronal paths such as the "Lowest Common Denominator" / "do only the minimum effort" / "why don't you just shoot him" ones.
    • The myth of the "man of sword" is a tale of how these traits of human thought were removed; the Sword symbolizes the humans's greed and desire to secure their own welfare violently, as well as the knowledge of very advanced weaponry. The mon who appeared before the human and took the Sword away is Giratina, and it was for this reason that it was punished by Arceus.
  • There is an actual effect where, if you stay within a small determined area for an extended period of time (in the order of weeks at a time), you actually start ageing slower until you leave. It might be related to NPC-ness.
  • There are clear spots in cities and towns marked for usage as flying / teleporting hubs, in a similar way how in Golden Sun you can only teleport from / to specially marked locations.
  • [Bulbasaur] Bulbasaur usually find employment / usage for theather effects.
  • Stowaway Entei!
