Silph Co: Inventing things so you don't have to, for a small fee of course...

The Silph Corporation (Japanese: シルフ株式会社 Silph Kabushiki-kaisha) is a company in many versions of the Pokémon franchise that's located in the middle of Kanto. They are the manufacturers of many tools, including the Silph Scope, which allows the user to view spectral entities, and have a pretty decked out headquarters in Saffron City, complete with fountains and teleporters. They are also speculated (actually this is a well known fact, but Silph Co. paid us to make this a "theory" because most people don't like the idea of a huge world-controlling industry making huge profits from every Ultra Ball they purchase) to run the Poké Marts in Kanto and possibly (Actually that's a well known fact as well, but Silph Co. paid us to, yeah you get the drift) Johto and the Sevii Islands as well. (You can probably guess that due to the fact that practically anyone who's anyone is a Pokémon trainer, they make a pretty penny with their monopoly on all things Pokémon related)

[edit] Brief Synopsis

Silph Co. is the leading manufacturer of Pokémon technology, except in Hoenn where every Poké Mart is run by the Devon Corporation. It is this company that produces the Poké Balls used by trainers to capture Pokémon, and they are constantly looking for ways to improve upon them. Their status made them a target in the Generation I storyline, in which Team Rocket orchestrated the takeover of their headquarters in Saffron City. The player, though, will arrive just in time to take on the mission of driving them out of the city, and the President of Silph will reveal afterwards the top-secret development Team Rocket was after: the Master Ball, which can catch any Pokémon without fail. That's right, the ultimate trainer's item, the Master Ball, was invented by Silph Co. who are so awesome we give such things away, we're so darn rich we can give the ultimate and perfect Pokémon catching technology in the universe for free.

[edit] Silph Co. Technology Advancements

It's times like these that you should have listened to Silph Co. and had purchased a Silph Scope when you still had the chance, oh well, you're definantly skrewed now!

Silph Co. has pretty much invented or owns everything in every landmass on the planet, except Hoenn which is owned by Devon Corporation which Silph Co. simply allows to exist so that it can pretend not to be a monopoly (which are illegal) plus Hoenn is a stupid place anyway. Silph Co. is in all ways superior to the Devon Corporation and the only reason Devon Corp even gets anyone to buy from them is from sympothy for the underdog, kind of like Coca-Cola and Pepsi, or Microsoft and Macintosh. Silph Co. invented the Poké Ball, the Great Ball, the Ultra Ball, and the Poké Ball of Poké Balls, the Master Ball which can catch any Pokémon on one go. What did the Devon Corporation invent? They invented the Premier Ball which is EXACTLY THE SAME as the Poké Ball except that it a got a cheap paint job. Silph Co. not only makes the perfect Pokémon catching device (which as never ever failed, ever!) they can also make dead Pokémon alive again and catch those as well, not even dead Pokémon are safe from the allmighty Silph Co.! Don't believe me? Silph Co. invented the Silph Scope which allows you to catch Pokémon ghosts, Silph Co. also invented the process to take Pokémon fossils and resurrect them, but isn't that done by the scientists on Cinnabar Island? Well not if you look at the computers in the Silph Co. HQ building in Saffron Ciy (which I know you did, you nosy bugger) for some lazy Silph Co. employee left an e-mail from Cinnabar Island to the Silph President about the sucess of their fossil project, so clearly the said scientists answer to Silph Co. and therefore Silph Co. gets the profits. Sure the Devon Corporation also resurects fossils, but due to the fact that the Devon Corporation lacks any experimental equipment and the fact that Silph Co. already did this a decade before clearly proves that the Devon Corp. simply stole the idea and claimed it as their own (greedy b@$+#r&$)

It can also be reasoned that Bill, the inventor of the PC (which allows living Pokémon and items to be transfered and stored as pure data on a computer) also works for Silph Co. for almost everything you store in Bill's PC was either made by Silph Co. (and purchased by a local Poké Mart) or captured and stored with a Silph Co. product.

Not only this but Silph Co. is so darnright rich that a mere unimportant employee can give away a Lapras, and endangered and extremly rare Pokémon, away without a second thought to a complete stranger!

[edit] Public Relations

Oh, and I forgot to mention, if Silph Co. made Porygon and Porygons are sold at the Game Corner, then that means that the Game Corner is owned by Silph Co. as well, yep all of your hard earned money being wasted at the slots all go into the hands of Silph Co.

The Silph Co. Head Office Building is an eleven-floor skyscraper that is effectively a giant maze, which was meant to keep Devon Corporation spies from finding anything. The entire building is also filled with doors that can only be opened by use of a Card Key only given out to trusted Silph Co. employees (who have sold their soul to the Silph President) Three years after the company was attacked by Team Rocket (Silph Co.'s only major rival for the control of the world) Silph Co. has increased security, and no one is allowed to enter the upper floors. One of the guards, however, will kindly give a tourist an Up-Grade for talking to him, for they're so rich they can simply give such things away for free, which will allow a Porygon to evolve through a trade into Porygon2. Since upgrades can only be issued by the maker of the thing being improved, that means that Porygon was created by them, that's right Silph Co. can make new Pokémon at will to sell, for a very high price, have you seen how many Casino Coins you have to win to purchase a Porygon? No wonder Silph Co. is giving Lapras' away for free!

Silph Co. before they redecorated.

Team Rocket, which is pretty much a mafia organization run by Giovanni, is a huge problem for Silph Co. for they usually steal their inventions (though not as often as the Devon Corporation) like the Pokémon Mewtwo (yes, it is pretty much a given that all the research and facilities on Cinnabar Island are owned by Silph Co. so Silph Co. is 100% responsible for the creation of Mewtwo, sure he burnt down a building, but if he didn't there would be no where in Kanto to find fire Pokémon now would there?) Actually there is a theory that Giovanni is a business partner of Silph Co. and Team Rocket is nothing more then a cover up for Silph's dirty work. That Team Rocket takeover? That was just a diversion to get you to come, get the Master Ball, and therefore allowing you to catch Mewtwo which had escaped a Cinnabar Island Silph Co. Genetic Research Facility and threatened the existance of the entire world, including the Silph President's finacial possesions and (reporter is killed for knowing too much)

On a side note Team Magma (or Team Aqua, depend on which reality you live in) stole a Master Ball and had it stored at their base in their attempts at land creation (or demolition) but thankfully it was stolen from them in turn before their plan was put into action.

[edit] Silph Co. Intercepted E-mail Reports

All of these reports have been stolen, I mean found in the computers in the Silph Co. Headquarters in Saffron City:

It's a POKéMON REPORT! Some POKéMON have been confirmed to evolve when they are traded.

And you thought your best friend Nate who told you how to get a Golem disovered this first, nope it was Silph Co.!

It's a POKéMON REPORT! Over 350 POKéMON techniques have been confirmed.

Looks like all of those TMs and HMs everyone's life depends on was made by them as well...

It's a POKéMON REPORT! POKéMON LAB created PORYGON, the first virtual-reality POKéMON.

And due to the huge profits, it probably won't be the last, in fact Silph Co. could easily make an army of Pokémon and finally destroy the Devon Corporation, Team Rocket, the United States, and Rayquaza for that matter.

[edit] Silph Co. > Devon Corporation

Mr. Stone's son, Steven, gotta hate 'em

First lets get some information on Devon Corporation:

Devon Corporation (Japanese: デボン株式会社) is a large company that is based in Rustboro City. Most of the locals just shorten the name to "Devon". It was a small company many years ago, but has grown by leaps and bounds. It has grown to be the Hoenn equivialant to Kanto's Silph Co.. (Ha ha, nice joke) The Devon Corporations' headquarters is in a large stone building in the northern section of town. (You call that large? Skip down a bit for a visual comparison of Silph Co.'s and Devon Corp's respective headquarters)

Devon makes many useful products, (You call Premier Balls, useful?) many of them geared towards Pokémon training and is responsible for creating the new types of Poké Balls chiefly only found in Hoenn.

The Devon Corporation also developed a process to revive Pokémon from fossils. It can be assumed that this process developed independently of the one at Cinnabar Island's Labs and the one done in the Sinnoh region. (We all know they stole it, they just happen to develop the exact same method a couple years after Silph Co. goes public, yeah right)

The president of the Devon Corporation is Mr. Stone. (What kind of name is that anyways?)

Now with that out of the way let's get to business, let's look at the list of products produced by Devon Corporation:

• PokéNav (Huh?)
  

  

  Here's what Devon Corporation has to offer, absolutly nothing!
• Running Shoes (Running shoes? We create new Pokémon from virtual polygons and you call a brand of shoes that are comfortable to run in a technological advancement?!?!?)
• Medicines (As you can see they purposly don't go into detail)
• Poké Ball variations: (See variations they didn't invent anything, just stole it and sold it under their brand name)
  • Luxury Ball (Wow, a pink Poké Ball, no wonder Pokémon stopped being cool)
  • Premier Ball (Wow, it's EXACTLY THE SAME AS A NORMAL POKéBALL!! Notice that trainers never choose to buy one, they are forced to accept one everytime they buy 10 Poké Balls at one time, who honestly needs 10 Poké Balls at one time?)
  • Net Ball (Wow, it can catch bug Pokémon easier)
  • Dive Ball (Wow, it can catch water Pokémon easier)
  • Nest Ball (Wow, it has a cool name, NOT!)
  • Repeat Ball (Wow, you can catch Pokémon You already have easier)
  • Timer Ball (Wow, you can catch Pokémon you've battled for hours easier)
• Devon Scope (An imatation of the Silph Scope, except this lets you find hiding Pokémon, big whoop, the Silph Scope could let you catch the dead.

As you can see everything Devon Corporation "invented" is utter crap, except for the Pokémon Producer which is explained below:

• This machine allows to bring a extinct Pokémon to life. It has 5 capsules that are filled with an orange liquid called Creation Fluid. (Okay, who got paid to come up with that?) When a Pokémon fossil is put inside the fluid, the machine extracts its data, which is analyzed in a high-power supercomputer. The result is a blueprint for the Pokémon; from this blueprint, the corporation grows a regenerated Pokémon.

Hmmmmmmm, doesn't this sound familiar, oh why yes, because Silph Co. has already done it! Except we don't use a bunch of stupid made-up terminology like "Creation Fluid"

Here's some other stupid things the Devon Corporation have come up with:

• The Pokémon Dream Projector: makes a visual projection of Pokémon dreams. (Do we honestly care?)

He always was the curious one...

• The Pokémon Speaker: allows communication with Pokémon. (We can already communicate with Pokémon just fine, when you say "Charmander use Scratch!" Charmander uses Scratch, what else do you want to say? "What do you think of the new Toyota?"

• The Pokémon Transformator: turns people into Pokémon. (WAIT A SECOND HERE!! Bill already invented this, a decade ago, he has one in his bloody house and he made it, and then these good for nothing so-called scientists steal his invention, go to Hoenn where no one has ever heard of Bill and sells it in their name! ARRRRRG! Not only that but they also stole Bill's PC idea, added some wallpaper, renamed it "Loretta's PC" and sell that as well, with no credit to the actual inventor, no wonder Bill has emotional problems, at least they haven't stolen his Time Machine invention yet (That's right Silph Co. can travel through time) but that's only a matter of time.

If you havn't been convinced as of yet, take this in mind: Silph Co. has elevators and teleportation pads to get around, while Devon Corporation uses stairs. I mean come on, stairs were so last century! Nobody likes stairs!

[edit] Silph Co. Headquaters

See the big awesome-looking building in the middle of Saffron City? Yep, that's the Silph Co. Headquarters.

And here's the entire floor plan, pretty nifty huh?

Now here's a map of Rustboro City, can you even see the Devon Corporation's Headquarters? Let me help you it's the stone building, no wait they're all stone buildings havn't these guys heard of metal? Anyways it's the one in the upper left hand corner, there you go, pretty pathetic-looking isn't it? What? you want a floor plan of it? Well guess what it's so darn small (only 2 floors!) that no one has even bothered to make one, google it if you don't believe me, it has one floor with some rocks on display, and another with a couple computers with a bunch of "scientists" searching the web looking for more stuff to steal for their own profit.
