Welcome to Gaia! ::

There was something I saw somewhere that explained how the Pokemon universe is the TTGL universe, just millions of years later. I think it was on TV Tropes...

The events of Gurren Lagann are, in fact, a chronicle of the distant past of the Pokemon universe.

Consider: Boota evolved (even if only in his mind) from his mole-pig form into a Cute Shotaro Boy in Cool Sunglasses. Since none of the alternate universes The Will uses against the Dai-Gurren-dan appear to be actively impossible by the series' physics, this at least implies that Boota could do the same thing, or at least something similar, in the real world. (Presumably if push comes to shove he could do so again, with Simon's help.) In any case, the chain of events is as follows: After Simon's (granted, long-delayed) death, the pretty-much-immortal mole-pig goes on to sire a numberless legion of Spiral-powered hybrid creatures. The galaxy unites briefly, but separates once more, when they recognize that their expansion is leading towards the Spiral Nemesis. A trackless time passes. Boota's hyper-powered descendants, born with the capacity to retain enormous amounts of Spiral power, evolve at warp speed, speciating into countless different varieties of creature, many of them near-sentient. Humanity eventually abandons the form of Ganmen and much of their dependence on Spiral power. Meanwhile the Beastmen, unable to regenerate any longer, go extinct. Millenia pass, and the world- already very different from present-day Earth- regrows and reshapes itself further. Even the Great Gurren-dan is relegated to little more than legend, and eventually forgotten altogether.

Pokemon evolve the way they do because of their inherent Spiral energy- AND without invoking its nature as a super-powerful form of Applied Phlebotinum. Simply put, Pokemon store Spiral power as they fight, and evolve- generally beyond their control- when they've accrued enough. A strong-willed human can help them suppress this drive, either through intense focus or Everstones- which are bits of The Will's unit, Grand Zamboa, still rich with Spiral-suppressing energy. Debris from both units rained down on Earth after the battle in Super Spiral Space, and consequently the Element Stones can be assumed to come from TTGL- or Chouginga, in the case of Moon Stones. Rare Candy is crystallized Boota poo- and of course, it's not REALLY candy. As soon as it's given to a Pokemon, it disintegrates to release a small amount of Spiral energy.

Ash's Pikachu, incidentally, is a direct male-line descendant of Boota himself (how else does a Shock Rat get THAT level of Magical Bullshit Power?), while mole-pigs in general become such varied creatures as Swinub, Piloswine, Diglett, Dugtrio and Sandshrew. James and Brock are descendants of Leeron, who rather than forgo his status as Eternal Queer has a test-tube baby, thereby giving him a family line. Brock inherited the loveable pervert tendencies, while James received most of Leeron's Camp Gay-ness. There is simply no other way he could be THAT fabulous.

And Ash's Squirtle is the reincarnation of no less than Kamina himself. (Ironically, however, the greatest concentration of Spiral power is in the fast-evolving bugs, with Beedrill the very height- it even has DRILLS FOR HANDS.)

* Extrapolating on the above, the Anti-Spirals captured Arceus, Dialga and Palkia (three of the few Pokemon that weren't Boota's descendents), using them to create their universe and manipulate everything within to their will. Boota, still immortal, eventually became Mew, the predecessor of all Pokemon. It's clone Mewtwo not only inhereted Boota's incredible Spiral Power but is able to harness it better due to his more humanoid form. Horn Drill is a one-hit-KO attack because it's a drill (duh), while a similar move, horn attack, involves no drilling and is thus relatively worthless.

Hey, I tek'd The squirtle squad before! Didnt you see? I earned Fish's approval with that! 3nodding

Hm. ok. ill try to find it first.
