The term "fanon" applies only to beliefs that are ''not'' stated to be correct in the source material. If a fanon theory is later confirmed by the series, it then becomes part of canon, and is no longer considered fanon. It is also limited to belief about the fictional elements of the series (such as plot, characters and setting). Speculation about real-world elements, such as the speculation surrounding possible [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|third generation]] remakes, prior to the announcement of [[Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], was not fanon. Likewise, speculation concerning why certain episodes of the anime were [[Banned episodes|banned]] is not fanon. | The term "fanon" applies only to beliefs that are ''not'' stated to be correct in the source material.

Some instances of fanon also include fan made material, such as individually made pokemon (a.k.a. fakemon), individually made regions, and even individually made organizations, such as Team Sky or Team Delta. While these are not part of the games, groups of fans may adopt them as a form of fanon. | |||
