5 Mysterious Things in Pokémon That Haven't Been Explained

If you could know the answer to one of these mysteries, which one would it be? And what do you think the answer is? 🤔

Actually I believe I have a answer to the whole Melmetal turning to gold thing. Melmetal is comprised of liquid mercury and when mercury is exposed to high levels of radiation it changes at the atomic level turning it to gold. This happens in nature a lot, and would mean that Melmetal’s changes in Cerulean Cave would mean that the crystals there are heavily radioactive. Update: In 1941 a test to synthesize gold from mercury was done and it was a success. It was achieved by bombarding the mercury with neutrons; however, the gold created couldn’t be used as it was heavily radioactive.

who else feels old when hearing pokémon X&Y came out almost 10 years ago?

I always thought the note in the train station was for the ghost girl when she was alive. She waited in the “usual place” which was the ghost girl floor, until she died. The person never returned with help and she’s still waiting. You enter and she thinks you’re her friend for a moment, but no, you’re not the one.

The placements of the Odd Keystone in the games tend to be in reference to the locations of real-world tragedies that have occurred. Quite possibly as a sign of respect for the lost souls of innocent people. Eg. Given that Twinleaf Town is in one of the most Southern areas of Sinnoh, it could have been the first area of Hokkaido that was invaded & colonised by Japanese settlers, where genocide first occurred in Hokkaido.

My guess would be that the X/Y Mysteries were supposed to be sidequests for Looker and Emma. He is a private investigator/secret agent after all and Emma, with her psychic cat Espurr is kinda a medium. So it wouldnt be to hard to imagine you, the player, being sent on a couple of Quests by Looker (maybe accompabied by Emma) to try and find information on Xerosic and solving some random cases. These were likely abbandoned during development, but Gamefreak didnt remove every hint or Event afterwards.

My theory on Calyrex is that they're purifying Eternatus' power, making it so they can't be be made to rampage while dynamaxed.

Calyrex's blue aura has a cool meaning behind it. In the past, true king's royal blood was believed to be blue. The color blue actually has always been associated with kings.

With the ghost girl in Lumiose city, almost everyone seems to miss that there's a Hex Maniac (the same sprite as the "ghost girl") elsewhere in the game who's listening to an elevator for no explained reason. The "ghost girl" spawns near an elevator. I think the ghost girl is just the Hex Maniac astral projecting, although it still never explains why. The other thing people miss with that is the games pretty much always have unexplained ghost activity in them. "That hand on your shoulder..." from gen 1!

I mean…ghosts have been a part of the series since DPPt, not since X and Y. The first ghosts were the little girl in the Old Chateau and the butler. Then, there’s the ghost on Route 217 in Sinnoh, and a ghost girl in Unova on the Marvelous Bridge and at Strange House. The mystery of this ghost girl mostly came about because a Hex Girl with the exact same dialogue appeared in Mt Pyre in ORAS, and people assumed her to be part of an event.

My best assumption about the Odd Keystone in Twinleaf Town is simply this is where Akari/Rei ended up settling down after the events of Legends Arceus and it is simply the keystone that was tied to the Spiritomb they had obtained while making the pokedex. Biggest justification I have to this is the fact Akari/Rei resemble Dawn/Lucas and the Azure Flute in BDSP was available only after completing the pokedex in Legends Arceus.

Dude. I had never heard about that Infinity energy harvesting before. That’s SO dark

Absolutely funny to think that Calyrex could be the clean energy source Rose was looking for and his brother stumbled on it by using a rock as a pillow

Actually you do see the ghost girl again. In the hotel after the encounter, if you speak to her she says "Shhh. I can't hear the elevator." After that she seems to vanish. I think the note is tied to the ghost girl and the usual place is either the building we find her in, or the hotel. Perhaps she was the one in danger, but the person never came back and she died, thus she's now made to haunt that building and the hotel, waiting on "The one" who was supposed to get her help.

Man, all this time, since I was younger and got Diamond and Pearl and eventually Platinum when they all came out, I’ve spent countless hours in those games and done so much from first discovery and had those same files for years. All the times I’ve played it and done all kinds of stuff on ANY of those games at ANY time, I NEVER knew the odd keystone was in twin leaf in that little pond. I can not believe that haha. That was a cool fact. Caught me by surprise for sure!

The mystery still linger in my mind, especially with the "you're not the one"

Hopefully we’ll finally find out the ghost girls origins 20 years from now in “Pokémon legends Hoopa” 😂

Gotta just hope for a remake of X/Y that will include more story content. ( TT ----TT )

I wonder if we'll get a 2nd part of the "meet in the usual place" one in scarlet and violet, since Paldea should be right next to Kalos, and that note is found in a train station. I mean, I doubt it, but also, the big crater in the middle could be where the ultimate weapon landed and is why the gimmick is a crystal formation over pokemon (since the weapon is also linked to/made of crystals) and therefor have tons of links to x/y.

The biggest secret I'd like answered is who were the people who make up Spiritomb and what did they do to be trapped in the first place; all we have is one side's story but who's to say they said what they wanted to be told so they could be seen as in the right. In Legends we meet one of the souls and she's a child: what could a child have possibly done to be punished like that and who's to say more children aren't more souls that make up Spiritomb. For all we know the people who make up Spiritomb were just victims who others wanted to get rid of because they had something others wanted or just wanted to get rid of without getting their hands dirty. After all people can be cruel.
