These are my headcanons/lore dumps about the Pokemon Universe. Basically stuff about the way that universe works + maybe some other things.
All my theories tend to change over time so I may end up contradicting myself as I edit these. It's all mostly for fun, I used to latch onto a theory to worldbuild off of for my stories, and many of my current OCs used to be characters from stories I based off of some random Pokemon lore.

Species Theory
Summary
The humans of the Pokemon Universe are not the same species as humans in this world. They are much more adapted to life with Pokemon, and in fact have a symbiotic relationship with Pokemon. It may even be possible that they are a branch species of Pokemon themselves.

Imagination/Yokai Theory
Summary
Pokemon are not a completely biological species, they are created through the imagination of humans and other Pokemon. The Pokemon Universe has a strong connection between technology, spirituality, and creation that has great impacts on the physical world.

Data and Pokeball Theory
Summary:
Pokemon, and to some extent humans, in the Pokemon Universe have the capacity to transform into what I like to call "data" but is more of a spiritual energy that the Pokemon Universe's technology can harness and transport. This is how Pokemon can be traded long distances and how humans are able to use warp tiles/short distance teleportation. This may be a similar (albeit less voluntary) mechanism to how Pokemon can shrink themselves to fit into Pokeballs.
