Have you discovered the roots of all pokemon? eg. The three legendary birds are offspring of Lugia (not sure, just provided something random as an example). |

To me, it's a toss-up between Mew, Arceus, and some center of the fictional Pokemon universe that's not a Pokemon at all. Keep in mind that just because Arceus seems godly doesn't mean it's confirmed to be the actual creator of the Pokeverse's universe, unless Game Freak actually says so. (Pokedex entries claim so, but since the Pokedex is supposed to have been made by the fictional people of the Pokemon world... How the heck would they know for sure that's how the world came into existence!? Humanity certainly wasn't there to watch the universe being made, by an Arceus or anything else! >_>) Mew is described as being "believed" to be the "originator" of "all" Pokemon because it's DNA somehow matches all the others. But is it truly? Again, I doubt Game Freak ever made an official statement, so it could just be that Mew, like Arceus, is merely a particularly powerful specie whose powers made the fictional people of the world hold it in legend, the same way ancient peoples of Egypt connected animals like the scarab and cobra with deities. I could go on like this about a lot of legendaries in general, such as how Dialga, which does appear to be a massive and powerful Pokemon with abilities that influence time, is believed in legend only to have somehow "caused time to begin moving". That doesn't guarantee that Dialga actually did that, nor that there's not more than one Dialga out there. :/ Ah, but back to your question: Well, no, I've not discovered the root of all Pokemon, since Game Freak has not given a bona-fide answer as to what exactly IS that root, instead letting the fans interpret for themselves whether seemingly divine Pokemon like Mew and Arceus are the roots or not. My way of interpreting it goes the way of practical skepticism. =) BTW, it's not like Lugia is the "parent" to Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres as far as I can tell in any of the Pokemon continuities. Typically, fans interpret Lugia as the "Trio Master" to the Legendary Birds the same way they interpret Ho-Oh as the Trio Master of the Legendary Beasts. |

I guess, but the only reason fans view Lugia as a Trio Master of the legendary birds was because one Lugia was featured in the second Pokemon movie as the entity that would quell the civil war between one particular set of the legendary birds. (Other Lugia, Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres individuals have appeared in the anime continuity since then, I hear...) It's quite possible that Lugia, ordinarily, doesn't have much to do with the first generation's trio at all. |
