A couple years ago, a friend and I got to talking about pokemon, specifically, if pokemon were in the real world, where the legendaries would be. We managed to work out the locations of quite a few, but I'm curious to see what other people would think.
Here is what we were decided on (that I could remember):
Articuno: Mt. McKinley
Zapdos: Mt. Washington
Moltres: Mt. Vesuvius
Raikou, Entei and Suicune would be traveling around the world like in the games, but where they were traveling would be specific to their elements. Raikou would be found wherever there is a large storm (like a hurricane), Suicune would never be found in the desert, and Entei would be running around the Ring of Fire in the Pacific.
Lugia: Bermuda Triangle
Ho-oh: Mt. Fuji
Celebi: Amazon Rainforest
Regirock: Sahara
Regice: Antarctica
Kyogre: Mariana Trench
Groudon: Yellowstone super volcano
Rayquaza: Upper Atmosphere
Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf would be in one of the North American Great Lakes, Loch Ness, and the Dead Sea (which one in which didn't really matter to us).
Arceus: Mt. Everest
As you can see, we weren't able to figure out where everyone would go, and we had this discussion before Black and White was announced. Does anyone else have any ideas relating to this? A good place for the ones not mentioned, or a better place for the ones already listed?
-
that is interesting.
-
Did you arbitrarily choose the mountains of the birds?
Also, if Arceus is supposed to be the Omnipotent Creator of Everything, then wouldn't it also have Omnipresence?
Crystal Dragon Jesus laws apply, of course.
-
Registeel would probably be somewhere in middle Europe since thats where the iron age started. Maybe in a temple below the Eifle Tower in France.
-
Did you arbitrarily choose the mountains of the birds?
I'm not quite sure what you mean by that, but I can try to explain the logic behind our choices:
Mt. McKinley was chosen for Articuno because of its location, being just 3 latitudinal degrees south of the Arctic Circle.
Mt. Washington, in New Hampshire, is infamous for its unpredictable weather. It could be completely sunny and calm at one point, and literally an hour later it would be in the middle of a raging storm.
And lastly, we chose Mt. Vesuvius for Moltres due to it being a volcano (though, admittedly, any large volcano would work for the fire bird).
Did you have any other locations in mind for the birds? If so, I would be interested to hear them. :)
Also, if Arceus is supposed to be the Omnipotent Creator of Everything, then wouldn't it also have Omnipresence?
Crystal Dragon Jesus laws apply, of course.
When it came to Arceus, we mostly went with the game mechanics, which had placed him in the highest point in Sinnoh. So we just put him in the highest point on Earth.
This discussion mostly came up between us out of boredom, so we didn't really try all that hard or do much research. :-\

Huh, that's a pretty good idea. :)
-
Mewtwo - Area 51. I know it's supposed to be aliens but its the only "secret" sinister sort-of lab I could think of.
-
Going with what Charlie said, I think Deoxys would be found at Area 51, not Mewtwo.
-
Going with what Charlie said, I think Deoxys would be found at Area 51, not Mewtwo.
I was just thinking that.
-
Also... Shaymin in Holland? Famous for its tulips...

That clears up the mountain thing for me, then.
But yeah, even though Arceus doesn't really make sense, being combined with other 'gods' and 'goddesses', since it's supposed to be the god of everything, it would probably have some kind of holy ghost business going on.
-
Mew could be on a bridge somewhere.
-
I can hear you all typing. Your giving me a headache.
-
*Types as loudly as he can*
-
STOP THE LOUD NOISES!

-
NO!*makes more loud noises*

Mewtwo-Area 51. I know it's supposed to be aliens but its the only "secret" sinister sort-of lab I could think of.
Going with what Charlie said, I think Deoxys would be found at Area 51, not Mewtwo.
I have to agree with Roko, Deoxys makes a bit more sense. Perhaps Mewtwo can be found in that cave with the gigantic crystals in Middle/South America (the name escapes me at the moment). In the Kanto games, it could be found in Celadon Cave, and the crystal cave has such high temperature extremes that it can be assured that only the hardiest trainers with the best pokemon (and at least one ice type) would even try to go down there.
Mew could be on a bridge somewhere.
What, you mean like the Brooklyn Bridge or something?
-
I can see Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina in their own dimension that connects to our world through 3 special places.
Dialga's portal or link to our world could be located at Big Ben in London since they both are so well known for time.
Palkia's link could be somewhere in Tokyo since they are so dense in space--something that represents the legendary space pokemon.
Giratina's link would probably just be anywhere since I can see him choosing where he wants to open up his portal (and I can't think of a good place in the world xD)
I can see Jirachi's home being on Haley's Commet itself and it only comes to earth when the commet is close to earth.
Heatran would probably be living in the earths core.
-
I like the Jirachi idea. Hayley's commet can only be seen once every 77 (I think) years, and Jirachi supposedly appears once every 1000 years. So it's linked... not closely, but hey!
-
Yeah true but maybe in our world Jirachi could visit ever 75 years instead of every 1000 lol. Its easier than finding a commet that comes every 1000 years xD
-
Mew could be at Akashi Kaykio bridge.
-
I thought Mew never really stood still. Plus its pokedex info in gen 1 said that it was last seen in South America....I think.
-
Yeah, but the only way to get Mew in the old games was the Mew glitch, and it was found on the Cerulian Bridge, which is why they're going for bridge ideas.
Also, I remember that Mew could be found in jungles in Pokémon Ranger.
-
The South American thing could work. Maybe in the amazon?
-
We originally had Celebi in the Amazon, but I think Mew might indeed work better. Perhaps Celebi could be in the Black Forest. Or how about a bamboo forest in China?

Now that's an awesome idea. ;D Thinking of where Giratina's portal would be, the first place I can think of would be...Chernobyl? ???
-
Maybe Giratina could be held at Alcatraz! Since its an "evil" pokemon, and we humans needed a way to seal it, maybe we locked it up in one of the most famous prisons ever! I can picture a chained up Giratina in an enourmous holding cell.
-
I like the Alcatraz idea. An abandoned jail is the perfect setting for a portal to another dimmension!
-
Alcatraz could work. Or maybe he could be in this one place where this guy claims to have traveled through time. He believes he went through some kind of portal, which led to half an hour in the future. I don't remember where it was though.
-
Wouldn't a place like that be more of Dialga's kinda habitat?
-
But he claims he went through a portal, and was in a another dimension where time flows faster, so that's why I thought Giritina could be there.
-
Ohhh I get it. What about Zekrom and Reshiram? I can see Reshiram residing in Mt. St. Helan while Zekrom hangs around Mt. Rushmore.
And then what about Terrakion, Virizion, and Colbalion (and to some extent, Keldeo)? Since they are based of the 3 musketeers maybe they would reside in Paris. Since they are sworn to fight humans for the sake of pokemon I can see them roaming the streets secretly in central Paris because they are wanted for hurting people. :P
-
Well, Zekrom could be somewhere in Japan, since Japan has more technology than most other countries. Reshiram could be in a country that doesn't have much technology.
-
Yeah but they're still technically one pokemon so they have to stay somewhat close to each other. I just put them in America to go along with the whole legendary brother war thay made them.
-

Love that idea.
I also like the idea of Paris for the musketeer Pokémon, but maybe not all 3(or 4) of them. I think maybe they should be in the rich, cultural Europeon cities. One in Paris, one in Rome, one in Madrid, maybe? And as for the fourth one... how about Moscow?
It would seem a little odd to have them all living in one city, is all, in my opinion.
-
Thats what I was thinking. In the games they are all from diffrernt parts of the region but said region is also only the size of New York. My reasoning for putting them all in Paris is going past the pokemon and into the story of the 3 Musketeers for which they were based on. Since the 3 (or 4) knights were always together (at least until they retired from their fighting career) I thought that maybe the 3 (or 4) pokemon should be in close range of each other. I do like the idea of spreading them thoughout the more culutred countries of Europe though.
-
Maniphy would live in the Great Barrier Reef.
And the new Ice/Dragon one would live in Antarctica.
-
Yes, Alcatraz would be perfect for Giratina. Much better than Chernobyl (what exactly was I thinking?).
Manaphy would do just fine in the GBR. Perhaps Phione could be somewhere in the Caribbean.
Unfortunately, I don't know anything about the fifth-gen legendaries, so I can't provide any suggestions with them. :(
-
Since Manaphy has to breed with a Ditto, and Ditto wouldn't be in the GBR, would Phione even exsist? And if it did, I think it would be in a lab/zoo somewhere since a human would have to catch both and breed the 2 together. This is assuming that we as humans even know of Phione existance.
-
Latios and Latias would be found in Venice, Italy :)
Darkrai would follow the path of the solar eclipse and only appear during such a time
Cresselia could be likly to appear anywhere a full moon would be, so more or less random.
Regigigas Below Stone Henge in a hidden temple or somewhere in Russia, in some sort of snow covered temple
Victini, hidden under the Statue of Liberty
Genesect, somewhere in a lab.
-
artunico= Antarctica.
-
Maybe Victini isn't a hidden legendary. Maybe everyone knows about it and see it as a national figure. I was thinking that maybe it could reside in the torch of the Statue of Liberty and would set the copper flame ablaze once every 4th of July.
-
Manaphy would live in Atlantis. Apparently that's real now, thanks to scientists and some of the best dope ever to exist.
-
But would Phione exist? As I said before, for Phione to exist we would have to catch both Manaphy--which I imagine would be very hard to catch--and a Ditto. Prior knowlege of Phione would also be required. Otherwise the connection of Manaphy and Ditto to Phione wouldn't be relavent.
-
Manaphy would live in Atlantis. Apparently that's real now, thanks to scientists and some of the best dope ever to exist.
I heard that scientists think Atlantis was in the Burmuda Triangle, and that aliens live there, which is why vehicles go missing. I do believe in aliens, but I doubt that the rest of that stuff is true. And people think there is some kind of wormhole in Area 51 that give people access to Atlantis or an planet with alien life.
-
And this is why Frenchfry hates people.
-
well to me rayquaza would appear at the top of mt.everest
-
And this is why Frenchfry hates people.
B...B...But not Mr. Irish right?
RIGHT?!
-
*Hands Mister Irish a beer, walking out of the room.*
Happy St. Patricks day. Partner.
-

Raikou, Entei and Suicune would be traveling around the world like in the games, but where they were traveling would be specific to their elements. Raikou would be found wherever there is a large storm (like a hurricane), Suicune would never be found in the desert, and Entei would be running around the Ring of Fire in the Pacific.

The pokemon with question marks next to their locations are those on which I'm not sure what the general consensus is. I'm also not sure if I got all the Legendaries from 5th gen, so let me know if I missed one.
Also, would Spiritomb and Rotom be considered Legendaries? Answered. Thank you Frenchfry.
As for Kyurem, how about the North Pole instead of Antractica (since Regice is already there)?
-
Rotom and Spiritomb are not legendaries. They're rares, like Lucario.
Also, isn't Area 51's existence disputed? I don't think it should be used as a confirmed location.
-
Area 51 is a real life USAF base. It's existence is not disputed in the slightest.
The only thing is that there happens to be a much larger rate of UFO sightings around there.
(unusual for a base used to test out experimental aircraft)
Also, how can Darkrai be anywhere where there's a total solar eclipse? Doesn't really make sense to me.
-
My mistake.
Weren't a lot of those UFO sightings confirmed later to have been secret test flights of Stealth planes?
-
Yup, like I said it's a base used for experimental aircraft. Of course there are gonna be loads of UFO sightings there.
-
Meloetta could be in an Opera hall. Because her sig move is a singing one.
-
Meloetta is based on a Muse so maybe the Oprea hall should be somewhere in Greece.
-
What about Reshiram and Zekrom, North and South Pole, Kyrum would be at the Equator.
Also Landeros, should be in a Crater, Torentoes in the Pacific and Thunderos on Mt Rushmore.
-
All caves and caverns will be reserved for the most powerful legendary of all:
Zubat.
-
lol and swoobat! 8)
-
rofl
-
I still don't believe that manaphy and phione should be legendaries, and they should be on the same line as a lucario or a rotom. I don't care if the CEO of nintendo comes up and hits me with a pikachu saying it is, I don't believe it.
Just like when they said there was no timeline for the zelda series...
-
In an interview they said something about Skyward Sword and a timeline. The stupid thing is that they keep saying that there is no timeline.
-
Also, how can Darkrai be anywhere where there's a total solar eclipse? Doesn't really make sense to me.
You'll have to ask Amphi about that one, he was the one who suggested it. It can probably be that that's the only time anyone sees it. No one knows where it goes once the eclipse ends.
What about Reshiram and Zekrom, North and South Pole, Kyrum would be at the Equator.
Also Landeros, should be in a Crater, Torentoes in the Pacific and Thunderos on Mt Rushmore.
I don't know if that would really work, seeing as Kyurem is an Ice type. :-\
Perhaps, instead of the Pacific, Tornadus could be in Tornado Alley, USA? ;)
And maybe Landorus could be in Death Valley or the Badlands of Montana?
-

Think about it, Darkrai is one of the moon duo, the other being Cressisla(spelling) anyway being the later is the full moon pokemon, it's more likely to appear, Darkrai being the new moon pokemon aka when the moon isn't really able to be seen i figured a solar eclipse would work.

Well, other Ice Types can be in Sunny places in the games, maybe he is in a cavern underwater at the equator?
I think the other Tornadus and Landorus, your ideas could work.
-
Kyogre = Niagara Falls. Groudon = Death Valley. :D
