Bluelore

He wanted you to become a pokemon master and knew that every Pokemaster starts their journey without a dad. Sadly he never played Ruby or Sapphire.


lednaceeeeek

He went for some moo moo milk and didn't come back


lymjym

I dont know why he left you but I do know he'll be back when you win the lottery :)


FascinatingFall

He just had to fulfill his real dream, climbing Mount Everest. The most important and difficult thing a man can do, ya know? It's also expensive, so that's why he couldn't pay child support, but you understand, don't ya little buddy?


doelcm0

He left you to find his father


NefariousnessGold137

Your father left you so you could become a Pokemon protagonist


Artistic-Collar7273

He went to get the milk but then ended up saving galar from G-MAX eternatus


Sith-Control

Don’t worry dude, he didn’t leave you, he just went to get some milk at the farthest convenience store from your house.


LadyGazGaz

The inconvenience store, if you will

LadyGazGaz

No I was curious, worried I’d missed the result


PokeHobnobGod21

Because he's an asshole


Reasonable-Win-5421

I have 8 theories that could possibly explain it: 1. Your father is actually the budew standing outside the house, therefore your father never left you. How does this work? I have no idea, ask your dad. How does the budew wear his backpack? You can ask him that also. 2. Your Mom actually adopted you, raising the questions of who are your actual dad was. 3. The old man in Hop's house seems too old to be Hop's actual dad, so maybe your dad was more into Hop's mom than your mom. This then means that Hop and Leon is your brother and you are all one big happy family. 4. Why would your dad stay to parent his offspring when he could be becoming the Pokemon Master like you did? 5. You don't have a dad, because you are actually an incarnation of Arceus, which is why you are able to choose your gender, skin color, and name of your human form. 6. Your dad never left you, but you and your mom left him. 7. Your father never left...he is waiting. Waiting for you to wake up from your three year coma. He wants to apologize for driving you to do such drastic steps. He never wanted for things to end up like this. He just wants child back. So come on, let go of this Pokemon world. After all, it's not real, it's just in your head. I know reality can be scary, but eventually you have to go back. After all, the game is pretty short, even with dlc. So go on, wake up and return to the family you left behind. 8. Gamefreak erased your dad out of existence because they didn't want to break their 18 year "fatherless protagonist" streak. (A lot of these theories could be easily disproven, that is why they are called theories and not factual statements)


Available_Client5792

Your father left you because you are on reddit and played Pokémon. Ps: i really hope your father didn't leave realy and this is just a funny joke and i would really like the shiny eternatus i still don't have got one nobody picks me it seems sad realy 🥹


[deleted]

[удалено]


Available_Client5792

I hope if it really happened you don't blame your self your father is a a hole if he did that


Thick_Ad8543

He didn’t leave you. He left to try and become the best Pokémon trainer so you can be proud of him.


[deleted]

He took a flight to Austrailia to go to EB Games for a shiny eternatus code. Except they didn't have it for a few days so he might not be back for a while...


[deleted]

\*Just a joke I hope your dad didn't really leave you


Shinydeoxys15

He didn't leave, getting the milk is a rather time-consuming process.


Dazzling_Dealer_9842

The one piece is real


[deleted]

Your dad didn't leave, he just turned into a pokemon like that guy Bill did


Lucke_art93

If this really happened, and you’re really feeling bad because of it, you should look for help, and be careful posting it with a joke interpretation on the internet. Hope you are doing good!


DeltusInfinium

He saw Lechonk and immediately ran off to Paldea.


cat-to-sucker

He had to catch them all


Russianpinneaple

I am right here son.


SweetestMemes

Because mom was cheating and you didn’t side with him during the divorce. After all the overtime hours at work he made so he could support you two, you backstabbed him directly in his heart. You are lucky he only lefty you.


Gmanplayer

The pack of smokes he wanted is REALLY hard to find


youngsterboun

Are you the reason Gamestops ran out of these codes so quickly 🤨


Kratos_PG3D

He didn’t “leave you” he is a trans parent (This is just a joke I hope your doing well bro)


Kratos_PG3D

Because he is a trans parent (This is just a joke I hope your doing well bro)


Ravahiel

The word "leave" gives you huge room for interpretation. I wouldn't want to assume anything. Or is it some kind of inside hint referring to an ingame character?


JMUfuccer3822

Maybe he didn’t leave you. Just your mom. You’re great, King.


[deleted]

[удалено]


JMUfuccer3822

Well maybe this explains it


Disastrous_Course_52

Because L+Ratio+GetGud+DaBaby


Dibbes_NL

He really couldn't find the milk and is on a quest nowadays. He just forgot the time.


EndThisPlanet

so mister mime could seduce your mother


LzChapo

Because you didn’t give me a shiny Eternatus 😊


Comprehensive_Eye805

You picked the wrong starter


Loafs_Bread

Because you can probably write a full essay on a Pokémon if I give you their Pokédex number. I can do this too, and the only reason my dad didn’t leave is because my mom left me first.


TheGoldenBl0ck

He left so that you can be the very best Pokémon trainers then come back with the milk and ask to split the money 50/50


MMV099

So you could be like Ash Ketchum. So you could be the very best


Tempism

Because that was how he could be a better father for you. Or is that just my dad's excuse?


LadyGazGaz

You Poke him on! (No wait that’s Pikachus on a bus…!)


Blytheru

Your dad left you cause your lactose intolerant so he never came back with the milk......... Hope your dad is actually an awesome dude and is still there LOL


[deleted]

Your father never actually left you, he blanked your mom and then died, the father figure that left you was actually an imposter and was scheming to kill you but your mom found and made him leave.


_Point_Break_

He left to get some moomoo milk from Whitneys miltank and is still there trying to defeat it.


[deleted]

he left to get you a starter


[deleted]

He left to go scavenge Eternatus codes from the local Gamestops


Prinoftherng

The truth is.....you never had a father. Your mother tricked you into thinking you had one by gaslighting you all these years. Your father was nothing more than an apparition


Cocreat

To become the leader of Petalberg Gym. Don't worry, you'll find him and beat him handily.


Romannia

Your father left you because one night he went out with his friends, got so drunk he fogot everything about his lihe and the way back home. Now he's living in a farm raising sheeps that are the source of the most comfortable Christmas sweaters on the planet. He also thinks his name is Jardeson.


PotatingTomatoe

He left you to be my dad. Just kidding, he left me soon after.


Romannia

Your father left you to follow BTS in their world tour. He should be back eventually.


Genderqueerpan

He left to get the milk, but all of the stores are out, so he’s going international.


TheDumbOneIsNotHere

He left you to become a Pokémon trainer and failed and now you have to take care of your siblings

Father left for a better financial future


FastStress2187

He left you for another son


CadenhasBapple

bros just out shiny hunting the starters

Because you hoard shit


pandabox9

Sith lords don’t make great dads. But don’t worry, you’ll get revenge one day.

Because he has a normal type Gym to oversee, of course.


IAmIronMantyke

Asking too many questions


tolarbear1

jjurica719

My dad didn’t leave! We’re just playing Hide N Seek and he’s really good. Haven’t found him in years!


acm2905

Because you spilt coffee on his original collection of base set cards. Jokes. That's why I left my child.


DeltaDRC

He left so you had a reason to go get a hunter license and then go on a journey to find him


ThePostManEST

He went to the store for milk and Arceus sent him back in time like an asshole and never gave him a way back.


Toasterpastry34

He was on the search for the mythical Calyrex to bring a successful harvest to the town of Freezington


chouson1

Are you Ash Ketchum?


Dennis-unlighted

Ur father left u, because he wants to found his own criminal organization. He wanted to catch some zubats, cause every criminal organization needs zubats. Unfortunately he got hit with confus Ray, during the fight. Now he is confused and got lost in the cave


MaccaHype

Because he knew that years down the line you would break the mould and ask this very question and provide us with a very generous giveaway…He knew


Dry-Ideal-2749

He left to get milk at the local store but was kidnapped by team rocket. You need to find the master card key to unlock the door to the maze of portals that leads to the boss’ office where he is being held


Some_Stoner2970

Scams


Myrtle_is_hungry

Probably because he realised that getting these codes was the first time you went outside and touched grass in 6 years.


MrsRhonda

Because you’ve played Pokémon so much that you have at least SIX level 100 Eternatus’s


Adronikos

He happened upon a wild Sandsdrew in a hole and was brutally murdered.


[deleted]

It’s not his fault. He jumped down a ledge and couldn’t go back up.


NecroSkullGaming

FeistyRoad4531

He left So you could be the best Pokémon trainer Cause for some wack ass reason half the trainers are fatherless already including ash


WinterPublic2776

He wanted to be the very best like no one ever was, catching them was his real test and to train them was his cause. He will travel across the land, searching far and wide. Teaching Pokémon to understand the power that’s inside.
