Pokémon and the Multiverse

After discussing about identities and the "metaverse" as they may pertain to Pokémon and as prompted by a certain movie that I saw, they demand the discussion of a topic that is as much a tangent as it is related. That would be the regard of the Pokémon world as part of a "multiverse" of related universes. It is related because of the "verse" characteristic and in that each universe may very well have its own "identity", but it is rather tangential because it's not exactly related by "verse" either.

To start off in seeing how this may be so, the Pokémon world is and has been likened to "another earth" or at least as an "alternative history of the earth". This "other earth" is likely one that lies in a parallel universe, while the "alternative history" part - as a path - is likely to have been taken when the earth was in its infancy. Either way, it's something that according to quantum physics might just be possible, for those who are knowledgeable in it; while unconfirmed, the workings do not rule out the possibility of this occurring.

Meanwhile, it has been theorized that the Pokémon world itself lies in a multiverse with other universes of other fictional franchises. These universes are placed in a specific arrangement, which may or may not allow the possibility of crossing over while showing their relativity. The scope of this arrangement is beyond this blog in some ways, but it may still be considered a brilliant work of reasoning in that just maybe, Pokémon may be conceived to have some relatedness to other franchises based on proximity.

Even Pokémon itself may be considered to harbor other multiverses of itself. That would be evident in treating the "champions" as achieved by individual Trainers as existing in different universes, who can then battle each other in a grand tournament... as has actually been executed a couple of months ago. This is an interesting idea, as it suggests that the reality of Pokémon might depend on how one makes it to be, specifically as the events that transpire in the games. The plethora of possibilities in this case is astounding.

It may be intriguing to regard that Pokémon may just exist as a parallel universe somewhere in the vastness of the multiverse, if not as existing somewhere in the current universe. The possibility that it can then contain other parallel universes or be contained in a grander multiverse against other things. However it may be realized, there is still a certain "identity" that Pokémon has, and that lends itself a unique place in the universe - or wherever it may be placed in the great matrix of the multiverse.
