So let's start things out with:
Read the entire post before making a comment.

Alright, so I randomly thought of Diancie and its Pokédex entry one day, which states "A sudden transformation of Carbink, its pink, glimmering body is said to be the loveliest sight in the whole world.". I thought, " What if all Legendaries came from a normal Pokémon? " and so I put this list together of what I think each legendary came from.

My evidence is Diancie's Pokédex entry, the fact that all Pokémon evolved from Mew over time(Which is why it's the mother of all Pokémon), and I always thought Fearow and Ho-oh looked alike.

Ghiratina, Palkia, Dialga, Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf were created by Arceus, so they're not in this. Heatran was made when Ghiratina, Palkia, and Dialga made Sinnoh, so he/she's out too.

1.Articuno - Delibird. Ice/Flying bird... Not much else I can say about this one.


2 Zapdos - Emolga Pigeot... I don't really have much for Zapdos, this is the best I could do.

3. Moltres - Magmar/Magmortar or Talonflame. Why Magmar/tar? Well, it's in fact based off of a bird, believe it or not. Talonflame because... Well it's a Fire/Flying type bird Pokémon

4. Mewtwo...

For the next three, I think the original Eeveelutions were what they came from. However, I'll still list my opinion since I heard that from a different theory.

5. Entei - Arcanine. They both resemble (Ar)canines, and are fire types.

6. Raikou - Luxray. They both resemble felines, and are electric types.

7. Suicune - Absolutely no clue.

8. Ho-Oh - Fearow. They have a simular look and are both birds.

9. Lugia - Lapras/Seadra. Lugia looks a little bit like Lapras in my opinion, but is based on a sea Dragon.

10. Celebi - Mew? Not really sure, but it was referred to as "New Mew" when first released due to its size and shape.

11-14. The Regis:
Rock - Claydol. Gigas made Rock from Clay.
Ice - Avalugg. Gigas made Ice from ice.
Steel - Magcargo. Gigas made Steel from magma.
Gigas - Snorlax. They're both massive normal type Pokémon and have the same base Special Defense.

15/16. Lati@s - Togepi family. If you look at the odd triangle paterns on the toges, it looks kinda like the triangle patern on Lati@s' head. Could have been the other way too.

17/18. Groudon and Kyogre - Seviper and Zangoose Honestly, they're too unique to really relate to any other Pokémon.


19. Rayqueza - Dragonair? Honestly they look the most alike.

20. Jirachi - another "New Mew"

21. Deoxys - Missingno. It was a virus that got blasted by a beam... Shhhh it works.

22. Arceus - Helix Fossil.

23. Shaymin - Again, no clue.

24. Victini - Is kind of another Mew, so Mew.

25-28. The deer trio and Keldeo - I think it'd be cool if they were like the extremes of the different versions of Sawsbuck. Cobalion would be the winter one, due to its high defense. Terrakion would be the autumn one, due to its high speed and attack, plus it tends to to be dry in autumn because of the wind, and rocks tend to be dry naturally. Virizion would be spring because... Well that one's obvious. Keldeo would be summer, because scald is hot water you like to keep cool in the summer with water.

29-39. I'm not going to try with the Forces of Nature, and Tao Trio, because they're yet again, too unique.

40. Genesect - Ancient Scyther. Genesect was a BUG Pokémon 300 million years ago, not a ROCK/WATER type. Plus, Scyther is cool.

41/42. Mortality Duo - Xerneas could be the mother of all Stantlers because they're both Rein Deer. Yveltal could be big papa Murkrow since they're both dark/Flying birds.

43. Zygarde - Clueless.

44. Diancie - Carbink.... Duh

I'm not going to do Hoopa, because it just came out, and Volcanion hasn't even came out yet.

Thanks for reading, please don't be illiterate or inconsiderate.

I think Genesect was a Kabutops because they look alike and "Over 300 million years ago, it was feared as the strongest of hunters. It has been modified by Team Plasma" Pokedex -pkmn black. Genesect looks like a metal kabutops with a cannon on its back.
Also most of these don't make much sense. Besides typing there is nothing else to do with like Yveltal and Murkrow. None of these really have much evidence in my opinion. Some pokemon don't even look too alike. Also the Trio of Dogs (Entei, Suicune, Raikou) I think are Eevees who got burned in the burnt tower in Ecruteak City and revived by Ho-Oh with more power and became Entei, Suicune and Raikou.
xD and Arceus from the Helix fossil. Hail lord Helix.

I honestly wasn't being entirely serious for this, but there are some connections that I thought were cool. Like the Regis and Lati's.

Also, it(bulbapedia) says that it was a bug Pokémon 300 million years ago, not a rock water type.
 
Genesect does look like a futurized Kabutops like @Eyeballz60 said. Clearly he was just modded and isn't too special in terms of powers besides the modded ones. Maybe Mew was Ditto that "evolved" as he's the primordial ooze and hence why it can transform into any Pokémon. Smeagle can transform because his paint is primordial ooze so he could've painted legendaries sort of like 3D printing works and hence he can use any move. So that's my theory.

Hmm yeah but maybe it means like a bug Pokemon that is not neccesarily bug type. Like it is considered a bug but now bug type. I dunno..

That could be true, however Kabutops isn't based off of a bug, nor does it look like one. It's based off of a horseshoe crab, whereas Genesect is based off and ancient predatorial bug, which is why I said an ancient Scyther.

That's an interesting theory, I like the idea that smeargle created all Pokémon, it makes it into sort of a legend if true.

Maybe, Genesect is like an ancient Beedrill or something. Maybe Beedrill was skinnier back then. So on topic, you have an interesting theory but, you would be surprised as Diancie isn't the first.

It started with the legendary dogs. They were in the tin tower when it collapsed and Ho-oh revived them as the pokemon they are now. So by that I would like to say that Ho-oh and it's counterpart Lugia were always Ho-oh and Lugia but I'm kinda curious if you're right about the dogs. (Entei, Suicune, Raikou)

This is pretty good, but I don't see half the connections you list as having enough evidence. Xerneas might have evolved from a Sawsbuck when Zygarde saw that Yveltal was destroying everything, and Zygarde didn't want to deal with it. Yveltal was a Honchkrow that got way out of line, and Arceus cursed it. Zygarde was made by Arceus to monitor the ecosystem so s/he didn't have to. Deoxys is missingno, not evolved from. Deoxys's sprite has too many pixels for generation 1 games to load, so it loads as a blob. Also, too many colors for generation 1 games. This also explains why Deoxys is so broken. Defense forme is absolutely fantastic lead, Attack/Normal Forme make great sweepers, either way; and Speed forme makes the best ExtremeSpeeds you'll ever see. It's seriously overpowered, and when used right, is completely immortal (talking from experience). Deoxys created Mew, since deoxys is from SPACE. Mew made the Pokemon world, not SPACE. So, where did Deoxys come from? Nobody but Arceus. Arceus made Deoxys, then Deoxys made Mew, and Mew made the rest of the Pokemon world. This theory was thought up in 5 minutes, I'm sure that you can get more info (similar movesets, color patterns, etc.) to support your theory? But otherwise, good theory @Vernal .

I have pretty much no evidence behind this theory, but that missingno to deoxys thing was pretty interesting.

Read my theory. You WILL start thinking outside the box, and developing random crazy ideas, so crazy they might actually work. If nothing else, think outside the realm of just normal pokemon. Go to baby forms, etc. Just think outside the box.

Corrections/My Opinions:
Regigigas, Mewtwo and Genesect were created by people.
People mostly think the Legendary Beasts were Eeveelutions
I think Latios and Latias fit well with Togekiss compared to Togepi and Togectic
The deer trio are actually called The Swords of Justice. And I don't think they're deer.
Zapdos would fit more with Emolga in my opinion. Types are same.
In my opinion, I don't think Celebi, Jirachi or Victini would fit well with Mew. They are small like Mew but I disagree.

If they all evolved from mew then mew had to breed with something so what was it ...idk that just puzzles me

Actually, I think there are natural wild Mewtwo because if you think about it they only made one and there is more than one Mewtwo in the world.

I think the legendary dogs were actually Arcanine, and two other pokemon that haven't been revealed yet why would Ho-oh revive eeveelutions.

I read that Latios and Latias were once human siblings. Don't know about that one.

Did you know back in gen 2 celebi was called the new mew. Plus ancient pokemon that were involved with the creation of the universe aren't offspring of Mew!

I did read your theory, but it just seems like a bunch of things that would be cool. It really doesn't have any evidence. I'm not saying mines better, sorry if it comes off that way. I'm just trying to say that it could do with more facts.

I never said Mewtwo wasn't created by a person, and Genesect was revived then modified by humans, not made by them. Also, how was Regigigas made by humans? Also, Emolga is a Flying Squirrel, Zapdos is a bird... I was making a joke by crossing them over.

It has more evidence than meets the eye. You have to think outside the box to really see that evidence.

I think Arceus actually created all Legendary Pokemon except Regigigas, Mewtwo and Genesect. Then all the Legendary Pokemon created regular Pokemon.

Also Did You Know:
  • The Legendary Beasts were created by Ho-Oh during the burning of the Brass Tower
  • Lugia is the Master of the Legendary Birds so maybe he created them
Some Things that might be Right or Wrong:
  • Since Celebi and Dialga are based on Time Travel, Maybe Dialga created Celebi?
