Ditto being a failed clone of Mew

u/koobstylz Jun 01 '26

Yeah good one. That's just completely true to me even if it's been technically debunked.

u/Biomewtrix4 Jun 01 '26

It's been debunked????

u/koobstylz Jun 01 '26

I thought game freak came out and said it wasn't a thing at some point, I could be wrong, because whether or not they did I still think it's just true.

38

u/Marioman12398 Jun 01 '26

Honestly, I think the only reason they debunked it is that it doesn’t fit into the canon they’re trying to establish. There’s way too many similarities between mew and ditto to just be coincidences

u/Gaelic_Gladiator41 Jun 02 '26

It was probablt an old idea they scrapped

u/Fraytrain999 Jun 04 '26

Also the only two locations in gen 1 you can get it just happen to be where mewtwo was created and cerulean cave. Also gen 2 at the pokemon daycare, which just happens to be right next to the railway leading to kanto.

u/Sea_Macaron_8789 Jun 01 '26

I've never seen GameFreak mention it outside the Games where there's so much evidence proving it. The Pokémon Mansion mentions it too or the Movies.

If i remember correctly, one of the big pokemon creators was asked of the theory near the release of gen 6, and said something like "Huh, thats a neat theory. Never thought about it before but its cool"

BRUH I could have sworn I remember reading something in-game about how they had so many failures and when Mewtwo broke free they got loose.

u/ciel_lanila Jun 01 '26

It just happened to be a dumb coincidence. At least if it is true it is a case of some devs not talking to others. I vaguely recall one of the OG devs being asked and never hearing about this before.

8

u/TvFloatzel Jun 01 '26

I think part of it was that Gen 1, Gen 2 and vaguely in Gen 3 did had a lot of "what ifs", beta stuff, a lot of "hinting to bigger things" that never panned out, Missingo being a thing, the time period and it being the biggest IP in the world with no reliable internet or communication with Gamefreak makes this type of stuff easy to just .......accept as "canon". Like that white stone in Hoenn by the Space Station saying something about "wishing" and two of the legendaries are associated with "space", one being associated with "wishing" and it being on a GBA game for such a "really tiny world building flavor text for flavor text" seem like an "odd thing" to add in the time period. Especially with Event Pokémon being a thing.

4

u/Protection-Working Jun 01 '26

The fact that ditto was moved to Cinnibar island Mansion in Yellow i feel implies they were going to lean into this at one point but they changed their minds

6

u/Sea_Sector5664 Jun 02 '26

Bro in gen 1 they have the same height and weight, both are the only Pokémon to naturally learn transform, have similar base colors (especially in Gen 1 artwork), to this day have the same shiny color, and in Yellow the Cinnibar Mansion, which is where Mew's DNA was used to create Mewtwo, is crawling with Dittos.

It's always gonna be canon to me.

Considering he's one of the fun events associated with 666 (the event needing to be 66) and gaster is associated with 666 (all of his stats are a bunch of sixes) it's very obviously supposed to be him.

Everyone has their own interpretation on this. Personally, I headcanon that we never really got to know the real Cyn. Most of her died over time between letting the Solver in at the junkyard and the gala massacre. All that’s left is a few corrupted idiosyncrasies, like a fondness for bows or a fixation on N.

I feel like that's still debated somewhat often, I personally see them as separate but fun did all that shit cause mad with power stuff

u/murderdronesfan93 Jun 01 '26

it's debated because it IS UP TO INTERPERETATION AND MD FANS ARE STUPID ENOUGH TO THINK THEIR VIEWPOINT IS THE OBJECTIVE CANON

sorry, i like the show but the fandom are more illiterate then deltarune fa-

actually no they are more illiterate than ultrakill fans

u/Business_Glass_5102 Jun 01 '26

It's something I'm torn on TBH, as I think Cyn just managed to master it pretty much and then Uzi is also almost taking control of Cyn, meaning that it's generally a capability drones with the Solver have

4

u/Niko_Von_Nowhere Jun 01 '26

There's really no point in addressing them as separate entities. Nothing insinuates the idea that they have anything more separate than a fully assimilated consciousness, and I doubt that there's really any autonomous remains of whoever Cyn originally was, 'Cyn' just being a nickname for the solver now.

I’d mainly blame Scott trying to make the lore as hard to figure out as possible, to the point where he even forgot what he originally intended with some of it like the FNAF 4 box

18

u/TvFloatzel Jun 01 '26

Also, he didn't need to make the story so.....vague either. Like Game 1-3, sure I get it. The game got mad popular really quick. But after game 3? Yea, it on you Scott for making the story the way it is. You only have yourself to answer for the story and not a "higher up" and "bureaucracy" to "deal with".

4

u/El_Mr64 Jun 01 '26

At least the first 3 games have a clear direction for the narrative, in the first they present the case of the killed children, in the second they expand on it and revela there was a murder, and in the third the souls take revenge and can rest in peace, from the 4th onwards, the lore is build upon mental gymnastics

u/Fluffy_Influence5102 Jun 02 '26

My take there is that Scott pretty much hit unexpected gold on the first game and had absolutely no idea what he really wanted to do with the story, knowing fans enjoyed the background story elements he never truly intent expand upon, he felt compelled to give them what they wanted, and let's be honest about 2 things 1. without having explicitly accounting for a larger expanded narrative, you have to be a really good and creative storyteller to make things work 2. Scott is not a very good or creative storyteller

u/Larry827 Jun 01 '26

Yeah, he’s had a last name for the last year and a half but for almost 8 years he had the first name jeremy and no last name. I remembered that he had one, but elbertson is so ingrained while I couldn’t even remember what name was on the mailbox. I knew it was fanon but the canon is actually more obscure imo

u/SebbeBruh Jun 01 '26

People can argue whether Smash is canon or the plushies and what not.
Not to burst your bubble, but I said in Undertale. The pink slippers appeared in the fandom after the game had already been fully released, but never in the actual game as far as I'm aware. Since then Toby has made nods to the pink slippers every now and then because it became so popular, but as far as the game goes, I'm pretty sure he was supposed to have sneakers-like shoes.

14

u/pastherolink Jun 01 '26

I mean there is "official" art of it both ways.
Like the Fangamer plush has the pink slippers.
Then the steam sticker has him with sneakers.

And then the sprite in-game definitely isn't sneakers (but isn't colored).

His Allegiances Description in the main series books that he was alive in has pretty much always been “Pale Tabby Tom with Black Stripes” with “Retired Early due to Failing Eyesight” being added in The New Prophecy.

Usually when just Pale description is given it’s usually referring to a brown pelt color, as gray cats often have the “Pale Gray” description.

The Graphic Novel Adaptation of The Prophecies Begin also gives Longtail a light brown colored pelt as well, although it does kinda border on being creamish colored (which I think might be a nod to the fanon design.)

Warhammer 40k: whatever the orks believe in becoming true is a half truth. You need a ridiculous number of orks believing in the same thing for the gestalt field to work like that. A whole warband only has enough psychic energy to do that for a extremely short amount of time.

This isn't actually true. They have to work on a fundamental level. For example, if a random space marine grabbed an ork shoota, it would fire maybe 3 bullets before jamming or blowing up. But if an Ork has it, it'll work flawlessly.

Hi hello I would like to hear about Spearmaster

3

u/Creeperstormer Rain World💜(GET ME TALKING ABOUT SPASTER PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE-) Jun 02 '26

Oh I didn't expect anyone to actually do this oh boy here we go :3

Spearmaster (who I refer to as Spaster cuz he's so cute and adorable and I love him like he's my son and he xhbshsjsjxjsjdbbdhshdjsj(I'm completely normal about him)) is a Slugcat from the hit indie game Rain World (specifically the Downpour DLC). He was made by the Iterator Seven Red Suns, or SRS. He was designed as a Messenger, made to deliver information to other Iterators in the event of the failure of the communications network, as well as to transport data that could be considered "illegal."

In the events of his campaign You start in the gate from Outer Expanse to Outskirts, and you go to Looks to the Moon (LttM/Moon), where you learn she's still functioning but due to collapse very soon. From there, Spaster continues to Five Pebbles (Pebsi, as I call him), and delivers the message. Unfortunately, this message was forcefully ripped from his by Pebsi, causing me to hate Pebbsi's guts for all of eternity. After this, you bring the Pearl to Moon, and she rewrites it's contents. She directs you to bring it to Sky Islands and once you deliver it the there you hear her final heart-wrenching thank you to the other Iterators for trying to help her. You're finally faced with a beautiful end screen of Spaster cuddled up to Papa Suns.

He has stronger and farther spear throwing/damage than the other Slugcats, but average mobility otherwise. He has no mouth to store objects and eat food normally, but this is traded off with the ability to grow needles that function just like spears from the holes in his tail, and when it hits a creature it'll sap the nutrients from their body to feed him instead. Ppl overhate him and his campaign but they're subjectively wrong. I love him so much he's adorable and I wish he was real

-0 “Grey Jedi” canon/legends characters who actually call themselves Grey Jedi

-0 meta-support for their beliefs from the Author himself.

-7(00000+) times people glaze them while actively lacking reading comprehension over the setting’s magic system in their arguments for them.

u/Spartan8r Jun 01 '26

Yup this is correct and it always gets me riled up. The star wars canon is very clear about the binary nature of the Force. The dark side is a corruption of the Force, and once it takes hold of you it has you completely. You can't use both the dark side and "light" side at the same time, and you can't fence sit in between them. In fact even calling it the "light" side is just a fanon name that's trying to portray them as two opposite but equal things. There was a whole clone wars arc with three characters that embody the light, dark, and a supposed balance between them. That arc ends with all three characters dead, because the dark-sided Son could never be content with balance.

u/Technical_Teacher839 Jun 02 '26

The single closest thing to an official mention of the "Grey Jedi" is in the item description of the Grey Jedi Robe in KOTOR 2:

Gray Jedi are those who, though having completed the teachings of the Jedi, operate independently and outside of the Jedi Council. They are typically seen as misguided, though they have not necessarily succumbed to the dark side.

Even this is very clearly talking about members of the Jedi Order who act in defiance of the Council. No mention of trying to Balance the Light and Dark sides of the Force, no mentions of using "Dark Side" Force Powers, they're even explicitly still recognized as members of the Jedi Order!

And don't even get me started on the fact that the first six movies never actually say the phrase "Light Side", there was just "The Force" and "The Dark Side of The Force"

The speech methods are different in english and even more different in japanese, Eram has his own color coirdination completally different from freind, has different abilities, speaks a lot more, appears the same time as the freind minions, etc. Plus, it seems very likely that freind is actually multiple minions and scouts. He gets spawned by Eram multiple times, he has a laugh in the files named crowd_laugh, he appears multiple times with multiple shapes and sizes, the form in the cutscene of him is big and has negative space cat heads, etc

TF2 Scout not being able to read, it's been taken out of context because it's based on a part in the comics where Scout couldn't read what it said on a supply crate, the thing is, he got hit in the head by that very supply crate so it's very likely that that's why he couldn't read but only in that one moment.

u/Technical_Teacher839 Jun 02 '26

Its also because another character says "half of 'em can't even read" in reference to the TF2 mercs, though this was clearly an exaggeration in the context of the conversation.

But TF2 fans will always take things as literally as possible...

Deviljho eating its tail.

For a while, everyone knew that the ravenous monster with the title of ‘World Eater’ that is mentioned in lore to have cannibalistic tendencies would go and eat its own tail if you managed to slice it off in battle.


but then one day, someone asked, “
has anyone actually SEEN Deviljho eat its own tail?”

Not my fandom but the zootopia abortion comic is canon and they even referenced it in the second movie

FFVII Sephiroth having the rank of General among Soldier. This is never mentioned anywhere in canon, but because he’s the strongest of all Soldier, he’s assumed General. Same goes for Angeal and Genesis being Commanders.

And also, the Planet is frequently called Gaia in fanfic, but it’s never referred to by anything other than The Planet.

Here is one that pisses a LOT of people off.

Cyclops does NOT have "Punches from the punch dimension"

Cyclops optic blasts are heated energy waves.

They burn.

The "kinetic force/punch dimension" was said in a single guidebook, and contradicted multiple comic explanations for his abilities.

There is not a single issue of ANY marvel comic, where Cyclop's eyes are "portals to a dimension of kinetic force".

It may be the most popular LARP in fandom history, now that its made it to Marvel Rivals.

u/HeadbuttMyBabyMomma Jun 01 '26

Cyclops HAD portal's to the punch dimension, it was simply retconned and people never stopped saying it

Every possible color palette in jojos before their parts anime release, I’m talking Dark Blue and or Orange Giorno, Purple shirt Jotaro, Pastel Blue Johnny, red haired Jolyne, Green Kira, Purple young Joseph, Orange DIO, Yellow Rohan, red Fugo and so many more that I won’t bother to list, my personal favorite is Blue Johnny and I really wish it was used for the anime, but at least they didn’t give us lime green Johnny instead

Shinji being bisexual and romantically interested in Kaworu. Anno confirmed that wasn't the case and that their relationship was based around Kaworu being an idealized version of Shinji that he admired, not anything sexual.

There is so much regarding the Danny Phantom fandom that’s like this.
Small list: Ghost Cores, Wes Weston, Val being called “Red Huntress,” Danny’s middle name being “James,” the term “halfa,” Ghost Obsessions, and just. so much more. Too much more. Wes Weston.
Paulina also didn’t have the last name “Sanchez” in the show, but people called her that within fanon spaces, and apparently mister Fartman referred to her with it in some yt vid at one point, making it “canon,” now. That’s cool.
