Mmm....you just gave me an idea anon. What if....the Grimm are esentially creatures made by the world, from the Souls of each living being that's born. Or rather, the dark side of their Souls.

Because everyone has a dark side. Remnant "takes" that dark side, and forms a Grimm. They look like monsters, because we are all monsters on the inside, one way or another. The more the person denies it, the more of their dark side is taken by the world, and as such the stronger the Grimm will be over time.

As such, people that accept their dark side, that don't deny it, that acknowledge it's existence, weaker Grimms are born from them, and they don't become as strong as other Grimms as they "grow up". However, people that deny what they are in the dark, that refuse to believe it or accept it, form stronger Grimms, that will become stronger than normal as time passes.

Of course, all Grimm can still get experience and become smarter and such, but knowing is half the battle. What does this theory say? Basically the classic "The Grimm are the world taking revenge against Mankind", but with the difference that in this case, it would be by creating them from our darker selves.
