it would explain why she's tan as well. The island nurse joy did deep dives in the ocean. Most sun-screen is not very water-proof, likely because it would clog your pores.

Using your theory with nurse joy on officer Jenny works as well but nurse joy is not a chancey but in fact a plusle and minun is officer Jenny and that they have evolved from them

@ushijimawakatoshi1429 Жыл бұрын

For that to actually work, Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy shoulve look the same but in different costume and color? They should've share the same hairstyle etc. Cause Plusel and Minun are almost identical twins, just different color and symbol. That also defeats the idea of Nurse Joy being a healer cause Plusel isn't exactly associated to healing as much as Chanceys are.

It's canon fact that pokemon can breed with other creatures so long as they share the same egg group and the two pokemon like each other. Chansey's egg group would in fact look similar to a humans "egg" group, they would just need to evolve to not have an external egg and incubate inside a womb instead of in an egg

because its an evolution, not a morphing. look at shiny charmander's evolution tree. shiny charmander is yellow ish. shiny charmeleon becomes a bit brighter yellow but not the same as charmander. and then shiny charizard is just black. evolutions don't necessarily have the same color scheme as their pre-volutions. exact same thing with chansey and blissey. and nurse joy would be the next evolution from blissey, hence different color shiny.

One thing I'm surprised you didn't mention when talking about Meowth was that learning to speak and walk upright actually crippled his ability to function as a Pokemon. Team Rocket's Meowth can't use or learn Payday, and it's implied it can't evolve, either.

@Chipstopher 2 жыл бұрын

Fun mini theory I've had for awhile: It was confirmed in Journeys that Team Rocket's Meowth can Gigantamax and as we know in Sword in Shield, Gigantamax Meowth can't evolve until you remove it's ability to Gigantamax with some Max Soup. Therefore, Team Rocket's Meowth can't evolve currently, but if it were to eat some Max Soup then it could if it wanted. But that's just a theory, a Game Theory! (also this theory extends to Ash's pikachu who also can gigantamax; and maybe possibly Koharu/Chloe's eevee who can't evolve although it hasn't been confirmed if her eevee can gigantamax or not yet)

About Nurse Joy, I have a theory: The whole story of the animated version of Pokémon is that when Ash grows up, he is telling people how he became the champion of the Pokémon League. He doesn't remember all the policemen and nurses he met, so all the policemen and nurses are the same person. This also explains why he is always ten years old in this story, because he omitted how old he was then.

I have a different theory: In the Pokemon universe, "Pokemon Center" is a brand name, like PetSmart. Nurse Joy is the mascot of the Pokemon Center. They only hire women that meet a certain profile; the rest is make-up/contacts and a pink wig. Because she's the mascot of the brand, whenever you go to a Pokemon Center, no matter what region you're in, you're guaranteed to have (a) Nurse Joy heal your Pokemon. Nurse Joy = Brand recognition.

I remember an episode where meowth tried to learn the skill payday, but eventually realized he couldn’t learn it because he had given up the ability to learn new skills in exchange for the ability to walk and talk like a human. This would go in line with your theory, and maybe meowth could have evolved entirely into a human had he been willing to give up all of his Pokémon powers in exchange.

It was actually only pay day that he forgot if I remember right.
