Fun Pokémon Headcanons

My head cannon is that Cynthia is the strongest champion but when she went to fight Leon all the hype and media obsession of Galar made her go “Oh, if I beat this guy there’s 100% going to be way too much attention on me” and decided to go easy cause she didn’t want a bunch of Galarian paparazzi following her to gain information on “The one that bested the invincible champion” and getting in the way of her studies.

My headcannon is that the reason the protagonist is silent in gen 4 specifically is because they grew up with Barry who would never let them get a word in edgewise, and they just stopped bothering after a while. Now they don't talk out of habit and conditioning.

I have a lot of Pokemon headcannons but my favorite one is this: Sometimes a Pokemon is caught to be trained to help someone with a disability (like service animals in our world). For example: a Growlithe or Arcanine that can guide their blind owner around, a Lucario that can sense if their trainer is about to have a seizure, any psychic Pokemon that can telepathically let a deaf trainer hear things, etc.

For some reason, I feel like who ever found out about Z Moves had a great idea of pranking everyone by saying a dance has to be done for the Move to activate. And that whenever they look at one using a Z Move, they just laugh their ass off.

My Headcannon is that Guzma genuinely thinks of every single member of Team Skull as his own children so they can have the father figure that Guzma never had as a kid. Edit: He remembers all of their names too despite them all looking similar

My headcanon is that one day Emmet came across Ingo’s jacket in a museum in Sinnoh and realised he must’ve been sent back in time at some point. Edit: This is after Ingo goes missing

I would say I have two headcanons: 1: Karen, Sidney, and Grimsley are friends and play poker together about once a month and play with their pokemon. Grimsley is too competitive, Karen is normal, and Sidney still doesn't know how to play. 2: The reason Penny has a Umbreon is because of windows being closed and there being no lights in her room. Her Umbreon always thought it was night and evolved.

My head canon is that the Ghost-type specialists get together once a month for a scary movie night where they just watch horror movies. Agatha, Morty, Ryme, and Allister (and Helena when they invite her) just watch the movie like normal and don't have much of a reaction. Fantina loves to look at the costumes and special effects so she can take inspiration from them for her contests (like that one scene in My Dress-Up Darling). Shauntal enjoys the suspense and storytelling and tries to replicate that in her novels. Acerola and Phoebe are the only ones who get scared to some degree.

My headcannon is that the Geeta we battle at the end of scarlet and violet is a shadow of her former self. When she was younger, she was much more like Nemona, and her team was much stronger. But, after years of being the chairman of the league, she's lost her spark. She's made her team (minus a couple of her favorites) weaker on purpose to see if she truly still has it or not.

My head cannon is that missingno is just a mew that tried evolving into a new species but kept changing it's mind halfway through and eventually became unable to evolve due to the amount of alterations it did

HEADCANONS 1. Grusha and Red bond over their love for icy mountains 2. The people of Galar are incredibly coddling towards gym challengers due to the realization that their region wouldn't have a champion if Leon had gotten lost forever along the way 3. Leaf had a third-wheel dynamic with Red and Blue because she was never their main rival which is why in Alola, Red and Blue "leafed" her behind. 4. Opal and Bede have tea parties where Bede is a snooty gossiper about Hop, and Opal just says, "I certainly agree that he would be better in pink!"

I think that the models for the evil team grunts are always the same because the Trainer remembers them by their association and their Uniform

Siebold is the Pokemon equivalent of Gordon Ramsay. Even though he's in the Kalos E4, he's originally from Galar. He swears like a sailor when angry and has popular reality TV shows like Reverse World's Kitchen.

I have 3 pokemon Headcannons: 1. Geeta is actually a bad champion because she pays almost nothing to her workers, thats why all of the gym leaders and hassel resort to have secondary jobs, and she invented the whole "Champion rank" thing because she didn't want to lose her champion status. 2. The reason why Ash's Bulbasaur doesn't evolve in the anime is because it took insperation from Pikachu and he wanted to show that he can be stronger as a bulbasaur. 3. The reason why you can find only seviper in pokemon emerald is because there has been a fight for territory between the 2 species, and seviper won and even made the entire wild Zangoose population to be Extinct, same goes for every pokemon game where they are version exclusives

My headcannon, is that before Gladion ran away from Lusamine, she was actually dressing him up like his father, she was trying to replace Mohl with his son, and Gladion of course got extra creeped out. It never got "too weird", but Gladion kinda got a really bad vibe and that just added to his baggage. Idk, Lusamine in SM just... Seemed to be the type to try to do something like this.

I have a few headcanons spanning a lot of charaters 1. Victor and Gloria (SS protags) are childhood friends and are Posh and Scottish respectively. And I imagine Victor trying to cover up a lot of things about Gloria to make her more graceful, and the reason why they dubbed her off of her Scottish Accent in Master 2. Lance was supposed to be a Birdkeeper and specialized in Flying type but the Indigo League thought that flying isn't a Grand enough type for a Champion and forced him to become a Dragon Tamer, at least in name. 3. Maxie and Archie came from the same highschool/college 4. Blue on Johto took the seat for 8th gym leader and doesn't bother to try the champion again because if he did try, and he definitely could, an hour later Red would inexplicably show up and beat him to the ground again

My headcanon is nemona has a secret box of shinies she keeps to herself because she doesn’t wanna deal with random collectors

That Delphox one sounds like it could be a Pokedex entry

I have a few headcanons about Penny: 1. The bathroom in Penny’s room is completely stuffed with Eevee and Eeveelution merchandise she bought online. 2. The Pokeballs for Espeon and Glaceon hidden somewhere in her room. 3. She has a few shiny Eevees she caught from mass outbreaks in her boxes.

Ghetsis totally had prepared to betray his son right from the get go. His entire team counters N’s final team tit for tat.
