[Pokemon] What if Ash kept Raticate and didn't get Butterfree back?

This is an odd but interesting what if. So had Ash either decided to keep Raticate or never got the chance to trade it off what would the story look like? How would Bye Bye Butterfree go in this timeline, what would change for the rest of his Kanto adventure, and would it have effected the rest of his adventure?

[Soulcalibur/Dark Souls] What if Nightmare found himself in the world of Dark Souls?

Found fanart on Twitter that was SCII Nightmare in the world of Dark Souls as previously mentioned. The vague idea is that Nightmare would find himself in this strange dark world after some battle in his original world. Where he will continue to feed upon souls to get stronger and hopefully find the remaining pieces of Soul Edge if they came with him.

It can be any version of Nightmare, being him still using Siegfried as a host or being his own entity thanks to Zasalamel. It seems that the fanart uses a location in Dark Souls III so I guess it would be the beginning of that game where Nightmare appears.

In a meta sense, could Nightmare beat the main game or is there a boss or enemy that bring the end of the demonic scourge?

[Red Dead Redemption 2] What if Dutch just LISTENED to Hosea?

Not including the Blackwater Ferry Job (Let's say this is what motivates Dutch to start listening). So, basically, every time Hosea proposes an idea, or says something shouldn't happen, Dutch will just go with that.

[Tokyo Ghoul/Planet of the apes]What if Caesars tribe along with the simian flu were teleported to the world of Tokyo Ghoul? How would they react to Ghouls and will the Ghouls be immune to the simian flu?

Ok hear me out, this has been going on in my head for a while and I want to know how would intelligent apes react to Ghouls, and how will the CCG react to intelligent apes, and will they hunt and kill intelligent apes as well. Also would ghouls be immune to the simian flu.

Also will there be a possibility of kaneki and goat try to make peaceful diplomacy with Caesar and the other apes?

[Incredibles] How would Syndrome's plans have changed if superheroes WEREN'T outlawed?

I imagine that Syndrome's planning hinged on the illegalization of superheroes, so he could appeal to their desires to get back in the game and so he could make them "disappear" without drawing a lot of attention. So say that the superheroes made a strong enough case for themselves to avoid getting their walking papers, but Syndrome was still pissed off at Mr. Incredible. How would his plans have changed?

[Tokyo Ghoul/Warhammer 40k] What if the world of Tokyo Ghoul is in the Universe of Warhammer 40k?

To be honest my personal opinion would be to welcome Ghouls into the Imperium of Man, and become great servants to the Emperor of Mankind. The Blood Angels will get along with them as well.

As for the CCG and any anti-ghoul organizations will be branded as heretics. lol

[Detroit: Become Human/Star Trek] How would a meeting between Marcus and Data go?

Something I just randomly thought of but couldn't find anyone talk about. How would Marcus and Data interact? What would they talk about, what would Data think of the android activist march? Could Marcus turn Data into a deviant? What would Marcus think of Data's strive to be more human? This seems like such an interesting dynamic that hasn't really been discussed i feel like

[From series] Would L from Death Note be able to figure out whats going on in town in From series?

Hypothetical question for all of you who watched both Death Note and From series. Would L be able to figure out whats going on in the town where Boyd and everybody else resides and bring everyone home? Before you start answering i've prepared 3 scenarios. In every scenario L resides in Colony house.

First scenario: L is trapped inside the town, doesn't have any help like tech, Watari, police, etc.., meets Boyd as everyone and later on decides to solve the mystery of whats going on and bring everyone back home.

Second scenario: This time L is trapped, but with some of the best FBI agents like Naomi Misora, as well as police members that worked with him on Kira case including Soichiro Yagami, Matsuda, Hideki, Aizawa, Mogi. They all have some sort of limited access to tech like PC's where they have some huge saved databases that they can search and hopefully found some information about the place, but they don't have access to live internet / any sort of signal from inside or outside the town.

Third scenario: L got trapped in the town with Near, Mello and Light, but Light doesn't have Death Note, its the version of Light that didn't even know about Death Note, Shinigamis.. They don't have any access to any tech.

[Demon Slayer] What if Lady Tamayo was Tanjiro Kamado’s Mother?

In Demon Slayer, Lady Tamayo was an normal family woman until Muzan come and turned her into a demon, making her kill her family in in a daze, after she became lucid, she was horrified of what happened.

Lady Tamayo was under Muzan’s control for decades until Yoriichi defeated Muzan with ease, the Demon King escaped from the Demon Slayer, but Yoriichi freed Tamayo from Muzan’s control, now Tamayo works as a doctor to heal humans, while taking as little blood from them as possible to feed herself.

Later on meeting a sick boy in Yushiro, with his permission, turned Yushiro into a demon, together they hide from Muzan and try to find a way to kill the King Of Demons, to finally be rid of him.

=========================================================

This is where the timeline diverge

During one of Lady Tamayo travels, she met Tanjuro while he’s doing the Hinokami Kagura they talked and soon fall in love with each other, Tamayo taking the name ”Kie” as a disguise to hide herself, like how Muzan use fake names to hide himself.

Soon enough they married and have several children, Lady Tamayo successfully cures Tanjuro’s illness, afterwards Tamayo heads off again to help/heal other people as a Doctor, she said she be back in some time, until then Tanjuro & Tanjiro look after the house/family while she’s gone.

Then Muzan shows up to do his thing, kill the Majority of the Kamado’s family, leaving one survivor, turned into a demon, while the other Kamado was bringing coals down the mountain, they now must find a way to cure their only surviving family member from a demon into a human, this is where I’m curious about which Kamado would be a human, and which would be a demon.

Tanjuro could’ve been the one to travel down the mountain with coals, coming back to see his children killed except one, either Tanjiro, Nezuko or both, depending on your choice with this what if, Tanjuro encounters Giyu, and pleads for the life of his child/children, promising to find a cure to turn them back into humans.

=========================================================

At least that’s one possible scenario, what do you think could’ve happen if Tamayo was Tanjiro’s mother?

[Transformers/Marvel] Unicron in Marvel

This is part one of my story to this and here it is it's not much but I tried Deep in space a Portal opened Unicron the Chaos Bringer approaches it without expecting to be pulled in instantly and he looks around and it seems nothing has changed but as he wanders he finds Earth and wanting to bring Chaos upon everything he moves closer to approach it meanwhile the Avengers see him above and Thor flies to the top asking him "who are you" Unicron looks at him and replies "I am Unicron the Chaos Bringer" he then swings his arm swatting Thor aside the Avengers begin attacking all of Earth is working to attack him but it seems nothing works Thor flies straight towards Unicron and slams into his chest pushing him back Unicron looks down at Thor not injured at all and smiles he grabs Thor who trows Mjolnir at Unicron but he swats it away Thor struggles but Unicron is much stronger to Thor every moment felt like a eternity as Unicron squeezed him Thor could barely breathe his body Aching in pain the other Avengers attack Caltain Marvel tries to free Thor but Unicron grabs her and simply crushes her as she is much weaker than Thor Unicron opens his mouth and consumes Earth killing everyone on it suddenly Thor gets an idea he struggles to break free and eventually does he flies straight into Unicron's mouth and tries to find his organs and slams Mjolnir onto Unicron's heart Unicron screams in pain and makes his entire body unleash a wave of Dark Energon hitting Thor critically injuring him Unicron releases his workers to kill Thor and with Thor weakened they bring him to Unicron who looks at Thor before Thor tells him "You will never succeed" Unicron looks at Thor and smiles telling him "you cannot stop me" before unleashing a blast of Dark Energon killing Thor meanwhile Doctor Doom aware of Unicron begins to devise a plan to defeat him knowing he is not just a threat to the Universe but to all the Marvel Universes...

[Legend of Zelda] How long would it take for Hyrule to recover if the land were to be hit by a Nuclear detonation?

The yield in question being in the range of single digit kilotons and only being enough to completely reduce Central Hyrule and the Kingdom of Hyrule into radioactive ash and glass and incinerating all living things in the blast radius. The fallout spreading over and covering the entire land rather than being blown in a certain direction.

So With the very heart of Hyrule being an uninhabitable nuclear wasteland and the fallout tainting whatever land and body of water that was not destroyed in the initial detonation, how long would Hyrule be able to recover from a cataclysm of that nature? How bad would that be in comparison with the Calamity?

[DC Comics/Castlevania] What if the characters and events of the Castlevania franchise took place in DC's main continuity?

The many characters, monsters, cosmology and the events of the main timeline now all take place in DC's main continuity, Prime Earth or whatever it is called. Most of the events remains relatively unchanged due to happening in the past (and usually not lasting long even with its genocide) but the later events that happened during the World Wars and its aftermath would certainly began to affect the greater verse.

After all, it was the World Wars that the Wonder Woman would come to Man's World, so she may be apart of the events of Bloodlines with Elizabeth Bartley manipulating things to start the Great War so Dracula can be reborn, as well as Portrait of Ruin which is more self-contained but Diana may just intercept by herself or by orders of the Gods due to the threat of Dracula and Castlevania.

Of course, there was also the Demon Castle War on 1999 where it was the final battle between humanity and Dracula's forces for the former's survival. Certainly the Justice Society of America would join the conflict as they would side with humanity with certain characters like Dr. Fate having a personal reason for being there as Dracula is the physical herald of Chaos itself.

There is also the very cosmology such as Chaos and its Chaotic Realm, with the former being said to be the opposite of God. And Castlevania existing because of Chaos' power, a demonic castle whose very presence warps reality around it. There is also more but I don't feel like adding it.

How would DC cast react to the events of Castlevania? How would the CV verse affect the DC's Earth? How would alternate stories based on that universe change with its presence?

Who would stand as allies? Who would stand as enemies? How would the battle between the Belmont Clan and the Dark Lord Dracula affect the universe? How would DC's vampires feel about Dracula?
