Description In R/S/E Wally stays with his cousin in another town before his family moves out to be with him because the air is better for his health.
You don't move because of asthma.
His bed was on the first floor of both houses. He is the only rival who does not have the second floor to himself, like you do. (Not counting silver who is somewhat homeless).
Why? He can't climb stairs. he can't make those work for him. He's frail, and weak and falling apart. Wally isn't just sickly, he's sick.
Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Main symptoms include:
Progressive muscular wasting
Poor balance
Drooping eyelids
Inability to walk
Frequent falls
Limited range of movement
Respiratory difficulty
"Patients typically require a wheelchair by age 10 to 12 and die in their late teens to early 20s."

yfw Wally is terminally ill, but you obliterated him at Victory Road anyway.



Alternate headcanon:
His Pokemon is a gardevoir. With synchronize. All of the psychic energy she would naturally radiate would probably make him more attune to Pokemon's thoughts and feelings, but due to his illness and people's general avoidance of it, less in tune with people.
Unable to become Hoenn champion, his only dream he wants to fulfill before he inevitably dies young, he moves leaves his friends and pokemon to visit a new region with better technological and medical advancements.
Years pass, and he starters to get better.
He grows up.
And his opinions change.
Instead of being Champion, he would now rather help the Pokemon he is so in tune with- and avoi the people who he cannot come to understand, the people who avoid him fearfully when he still appeared so sickly.
Wally knows little of this region and it's troubles and is easily misused for all his good intentions.
Later his experiences with Black change his mind, and N sets off on one of the legendary dragons to fly home to Hoenn and reunite with his real family.

Why do all these poke-fans love making Wally die in their art?  It makes me cry and I dislike it greatly!!! (Cries in a corner for poor Wally)  Actually, someone told me that they had a theory that Wally was only born with one lung.  Not exactly terminal, but it would require special care and environment to improve his health.  That would require the lad to move and not exert himself too much.

Saying that "you don't move because of asthma" is sort of wrong. The Muscular Dystrophy Theory is contradicting the evidence of Wally's illness as seen in the game.

Polluted air is going to set off asthma and you would want to go to a place with fresh air so you didn't have to suffer so many asthma attacks. If it had been Muscular Dystrophy, Wally would have needed to use a wheelchair by the time the game's events had started, since his age is somewhere around 10 to 12. But he is walking alright, and managed to get to the end of Victory Road, and probably stays there to train. In ORAS, that is changed, so it can't have been MD.

Wally would have already been so obviously showing signs of the disease by then, so it can't have been that.

No, I only wanted to DEBUNK the Muscular Dystrophy Theory. Your artworks are excellent and how sketchy and all that but I was only trying to debunk the Muscular Dystrophy Theory, not point out flaws with your work. It's just that I didn't want to see Wally end up dying. Also, Muscular Dystrophy just seems too severe and obvious to be what is wrong with Wally, so it can't be true.

So, wally is N? Neat theory! Also, wally being sick, it makes me cry!


Me, I think Wally is gengar from the first pmd games. What happens if he touched Ninetails tail by mistake, then fled out of fear? Then, once he was a pokemon, he just simply hung out with the wrong crowd, still keeping his former partner pokemon in mind?

Oh god. Oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god.
I had always remembered Wally having to move because of fresher air. I thought it was weird when I was younger, but never really thought about it. I liked him a lot, though. Wally was always just a nice kid who had hopes and dreams like any other.

I never once suspected that he could have been that sick.


Oh, I love your work, by the way. Everything you draw gives me so many feels. Great job, keep up the good work.

Yeah, I have asthma and I didn't need to use an oxygen mask. I only had to use those asthma machine-things and inhalers.

The N/Wally theory seriously makes a lot of sense, and there are tons of allusions to the Hoenn region (because of a remake), but I don't believe Wally to be N. Remember N's playroom? Anyway, nice drawings and theory!
