I keep reading this and I can't understand how or why this is a secret ):

[identity profile] mefistofluffies.livejournal.com 2011-12-18 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe there's no pokemon opinions comm?

[identity profile] leinyan.livejournal.com 2011-12-18 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
this is a place for secrets, not opinions

also for a fandom of that size I think pretty much everything you could want for has probably been catered to

As someone actually in the fandom, I can tell you that you're correct there. There really are hundreds of places to discuss things like this, both on and off LJ. Most of them are literally a five-second Google search away.

thanks!

I was actually guessing in this instance, but having been in and out of hugely popular internet based fandoms for over 10 years, I figured things I'd seen elsewhere would be applicable to this one.

Yeah. This isn't really a secret. :/

Um...how is this a secret and how is Giygas (other than Mewtwo being based on him) related?

Please elaborate.

and how is Giygas (other than Mewtwo being based on him) related?

Wondering this myself. Though I didn't know its name and don't know the source, I'd been shown and had it explained a while back.

[identity profile] insanenoodlyguy.livejournal.com 2011-12-19 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Ummm... you guys just answered the question of why it's related right there...

[identity profile] pgirl1986.livejournal.com 2011-12-18 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Uhm.... Mew? I mean, Mew's kinda known, from what I gathered. That could very well be #150 for the general populace of the Pokémon universe.
I'm also not really getting why this is a secret.

[identity profile] haleysings.livejournal.com 2011-12-18 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's what I was going to say. It's 151 with Mew, so probably Mew's considered the 150th.

(Anonymous) 2011-12-18 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, this was exactly what I was coming here to say. Mew = 150th.

[identity profile] rosehiptea.livejournal.com 2011-12-18 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Chiming in with agreement. I'm almost 100% certain Mew was known outside Team Rocket.

(Anonymous) 2011-12-18 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Mew.

Also, with regards to the anime, it was already known that there was most likely going to be a sequel to the first gen. (See the first episode's Ho-oh cameo.) So on a meta level, whenever someone in the anime mentions that there are over 150 Pokémon, they're really just pulling a subtle Sequel Hook/hinting at the existence of another generation.

In-universe, I like to think that a lot of the characters already know about the fact that there's craploads of Pokémon in the world; they're just not telling Ash for some reason. (Probably because his brain would implode.)

(Anonymous) 2011-12-18 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I get why in terms of ~gameplay~ Mewtwo has to be #150 and Mew has to be #151, but it really should be the other way around. This has probably bothered me for my entire life.

[identity profile] isa-lyxces.livejournal.com 2011-12-19 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
I can just imagine Professor Oak getting on TV (or radio, he has that show in GSC) and saying that there are 150 pokemon. It would probably be picked up by everyone quoting a particular statistic, just like in real life.

(Anonymous) 2011-12-19 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
I like this.

(Anonymous) 2011-12-19 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
150 doesn't include Mewtwo. If anything, you should object to the fact that Mew, not Mewtwo, is the 151st Pokemon.


(Anonymous) 2011-12-22 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
But in the games, Team Rocket is never connected to Mewtwo.

It's amazing how many people miss that.
