So I figured I could do it real quick.
This weeks fan theory:
What Exactly is Cubone?
Cubone is an adorable Ground type Pokémon that holds a bone and wears a skull on its head, hiding what it really looks like. While Cubone might be some
generic Pokémon, the backstory of what really lies under that skull is much darker than one might think.
Recognize this little guy?
You have seen this Pokémon before, but he's usually blue, and often travels in the pouch of this guy:
Well, have you ever thought that the baby Kangaskhan has an uncanny resemblance to Cubone?
Especially when shown this picture:
So the theory is that when a Kangaskhan dies, the little baby it carries around places it's mothers skull on its head, thus becoming Cubone.
It makes sense, until presented with some fallacies with this theory.
As everyone knows, Cubone evolves into Marowak.
Now, if Cubone were really a baby Kangaskhan, why would it evolve into a completely different Pokémon. Marowak is clearly not a Kangaskhan, considering that Kangaskhan is an entire 4 feet taller and Marowak doesn't have a pouch.
Obviously, there is a theory that some baby Kangaskhan mutate into a Cubone through evolution.
It isn't impossible for this to happen. For example: Wurmple.
Wurmple can evolve into either Silcoon or Cascoon. Once that happens, a Silcoon has no chance of becoming Dustox and a Cascoon can't evolve into Beautifly.
So if baby Kangaskhan were to be raised, it could evolve into either Cubone by being given the skull of a Kangaskhan (since some Pokémon evolve with special stones) or by personality.
But here is what your Earl of Sweets thinks:
What if baby Kangaskhan isn't a Kangaskhan at all?
Think about it. If you've ever bred a Kangaskhan with a ditto, you'd know that an actual, adult Kangaskhan emerges from the egg, and it magically already has a baby in its pouch.
Pokémon logic.
Anyway, what if Cubone and Kangaskhan come from the same egg? Like they are some sort of twin? Since the trainer usually raises the Kangaskhan, the baby in its pouch has no battle experience whatsoever, unless separated from the Kangaskhan housing it.
Once that separation occurs (such as Kangaskhan dying) then can the baby leave the pouch, and be raised as Cubone and eventually into Marowak.
Lots of complicated reasons as to why baby Kangaskhan is Cubone and is possibly Missingno (if found without the skull) but I'm more interested in what you have to say.
I'd also like you to ponder this picture:
Shout out to @aloistangel for being the first to comment and discuss the last fan theory with me.
