      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. She is also shown to be able to do extreme sports with her canoe with ease (traveling something like 30 mph just via paddeling)

    • @ushijimawakatoshi1429

      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.

      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
      @Chipstopher 2 년 전 +52

      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)

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.

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.

      This is implied to take place over the course of CENTURIES, if not MILLENIA. The Joys that we see are essentially the latest in an entire ancient line of Chanseys turned human, a generation number somewhere in the MILLIONS (if Chanseys have the same approximate lifespan of humans, that is).

      If pokemons and humans are the same, just imagine the amount of STD one ditto can carry and we are letting they "healing" every one of ours pokemons. (I call it the anti-heal public sisten TM.)

    How would you explain Nurse Joy School then?
    Is this school turning Chanseys to Nurse Joys through contact with human trying to become nurse. Or is Jessie also Pokemon?
