Ok, this is gonna be quite a long explanation. Make sure you’re comfortable, have a snack, oh and you should go to the bathroom first just in case.

As most of you know, our universe was created by our lovely alpaca god, Arceus. Although Arceus created the universe and the world, he only directly created 6 pokemon: Palkia, Giratina, Dialga, Uxie, Azelf, and Mesprit.

As the world developed and grew, Mew was born. While no one knows for sure, Mew is believed to have been “born of the earth” and therefore holds all the genetic codes for all other pokemon species. It is now known that not every pokemon is descended from Mew, but a staggering number are. Of the legendaries, Mew’s closest living relative is obviously Mewtwo. Though it look very different physically, Mewtwo shares more DNA with Mew than any other of Mew’s descendants. 

Mew’s next closest relative is Celebi. The Celebi species was known to have split into two separate species. Shaymin still exist today, but it is unknown as to whether or not Celebi’s other descendant still survives. 

Jirachi is a cousin of Celebi. The species that links Jirachi and Mew remains a mystery to this day. Like Celebi, the Jirachi species split in two. Both of these species are lost and only a handful of fossils survive to this day. It seems as though one of these species later evolved into Victini.

At one point in the world’s history, some Mew became the first bird pokemon. The oldest true bird-type fossil is a massive talon the size of an average human male. While we know nothing else about this ancient pokemon, it was clearly large enough to carry off a Wailord. As time went on this pokemon shrank and became the Ho-Oh we know today. 

It is a well-known fact that one Ho-oh “created” three pokemon of its own: Entei, Suicune, and Raikou. These three pokemon are among the rarest in existence, as only one of each species has been documented. While individual Ho-oh still thrive in today’s world, some continued their shrink in size and diversified. These became the legendary birds Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres.

Carbon dating shows that dragon pokemon emerged around the same time as bird pokemon. Like Ho-oh’s ancestor, these ancient dragons are mostly lost to us. The oldest living example is the Kyurem species. Being very secretive in nature, scientists are unsure as to how many Kyurem still survive but they all agree that the species is dwindling. However, Kyurem has two close relatives that still have strong populations. Zekrom and Reshiram are old species, but have remained largely unchanged since they first came to be.

Latias and Latios are also descendants of Kyurem. They are a source of hot debate among pokemon scientists. Some consider Latias to be a separate species from Latios. Others consider them to both be members of a sexually-dimorphic species. Further support of sexual-dimorphism is the lack of evidence for male Latias and female Latios.

We Lugia are cousins of Latias and Latios. Although we Lugia have no species descended from our own, it looks as though we may be headed that way. Each generation born seems to be more and more different from its predecessors.

The farther down the family tree you go, the more diversified the species become. Kyogre, Groudon and Rayquaza seem to have a common ancestor, despite their vast physical differences. Only Kyogre and Groudon have evolved further. Kyogre’s progeny are Manaphy and Phione. Groudon’s is Heatran.

There are also several species not related to any other pokemon on the planet. Darkrai and Cresselia appeared long ago in mysterious circumstances. Scientists don’t know much about them, but they seem to have some sort of relationship with the moon.

Regigigas and its “children” Regirock, Regice, and Registeel fell to the earth one night as part of a large meteorite. No one is sure why this fallen rock rose up with life of its own, but it’s speculated that it carried a strange form of radiation from its origin in space.

And Deoxys? Who knows where the fuck that crazy bitch came from.
