    yeah…the fact that they’re leaning so hard into the “this info came from a probably bullshit magazine” thing is one of the most obvious tells they’re actually imagined bullshit and the “”time travel”” is a red herring.

        No, moron, the magazine can be read in the academy's library, the pokedex mentions the articles of the opposite version BECAUSE you can't check the articles yourself like you can with your version's paradoxes. But all paradoxes have bullshit entries based on what Heath wrote in his book

          It's an AU thing. All of the paradoxes are wrote about in shady magazines, In Scarlet version Heath wrote that he saw the past paradoxes and in Violet version he wrote he saw the future ones. So in Scarlet version the pokedex says Violet ones are fake since they don't exist there.

            In Scarlet the past paradoxes are in shady magazines you find in the academy and the future paradoxes are in shady magazines referenced by the dex. In Violet the past paradoxes are in shady magazines referenced by the dex and the future paradoxes are in shady magazines you find in hte academy.
            Occulture is the main source of info of the paradoxes in both games, for both "sets".

      Its sort of implied they aren't tougher because of their age, but because their proximity to the terra energy, of which there was a lot more in their time.
      Maybe because they lived closer to a time period when the meteor that caused the crater touched down, and were irradiated with the stuff before it died down, to the point where in S/V it can only be found in the crater.
      Also hence why theres so few types of primal mons, because it only affected the species which lived close by.

    The thing that makes me think its imaginary shit is the pokedex entries. With UBs, honest to god ALIENS in pokemon, they were straightforward with the fact that they are ayyys, and later on we travel to Dimension Ayylmao which reinforces "holy shit aliens" and nobody questions it. There's no carrot on a stick or a guy questioning if the ayys are really ayys, and the Ultra Recon Squad along with the pokedex say "This crazy motherfricker right here? Yeah its an alien from Planet Ayylmao".

    If its time travel, they'd just say "yooo this Jigglypuff came from the Precambrian era from a bajillion years ago and can break steel with its screams" or "Holy shit this mecha Hydreigon from the future has a bite force of 3 million PSI". But in both games they tiptoe with EVERY Paradox Pokemon and say "ohh this thing was sighted, I think, and it kinda looks like this thing from an old book or magazine maybe???". The Pokedex has NEVER been this shit at describing a pokemon in the history of pokemon PERIOD, no matter how out there or legendary it is. There's too much weird shit that makes me think it's just straightforward timetravel, and it'd be infinitely lame and make no fricking sense if they lampshaded the absurdity of time travel and acted super vague about it just to play it straight anyway.

        But that's just it. Let me compare Pheromosa's Dex entry with Roaring Moon for a sec since they're both special version exclusive pokemon:
        Pheromosa
        >Sun: One of the dangerous Ultra Beasts, it has been spotted running across the land at terrific speeds.
        >Moon: One of the Ultra Beasts. It refuses to touch anything, perhaps because it senses some uncleanness in this world.
        Roaring Moon
        >Scarlet: It is possible that this is the creature listed as Roaring Moon in an expedition journal that still holds many mysteries.
        >Violet: According to an article in a dubious magazine, this Pokémon has some connection to a phenomenon that occurs in a certain region.
        You can see with Pheromosa that while it is very special, there is atleast some factual information about what Pheromosa is and what its like, a fast clean freak wienerroach creature. And then with Roaring Moon it doesn't say jack shit about what it is or what it does, and Violet's only info on the thing comes from a "dubious magazine". There's no reason why they'd pussyfoot around with the pokemon from the past or the future when they have done even more outlandish pokemon. We are told straightforward that there are alien pokemon, fossil pokemon, dead pokemon, godly pokemon, time & space pokemon, and so on, but all of the sudden they put time travel into question? Especially when they did time travel in another game atleast 2 decades ago?

            Alright fine i'll concede over this since HGSS never went to the future, but still, why remix the same idea and act all weird over it? Especially when its just identical to already established pokemon except that they're made of metal or have more fangs? Whats the point of the mystery if we have the time machine clear as day, the professor demonstrating the time travel, and the creatures supposedly from another era roaming around? Its a waste of time waving a carrot on a stick if the answer is a straightforward "time travel is real" instead of a plot trying to imply there's more that doesnt meet the eye. Why think about Time Travel itself instead of WHAT causes Time Travel?

            And no HGSS isn't about time travel, it has a single event where we DON'T go back to a whole new era let alone one so far back that pokemon are visibly different or haven't evolved certain traits yet.

            >We have LITERALLY never had anything like Paradox Pokemon before.
            Once a few generations ago, we had nothing like Ultra Beasts before and everyone was raving about how weird they were. And yet we still were told they came from another planet across space and nothing more or less than that. SV and the Professor already says that the Paradox Pokemon come from the past or future, and they could leave it at that with no Heath bullshit or dubious magazine trite. But instead they walk back on it, even ingame Arven questions the existence of Time Travel rather than the physics involved in that phenomenon. Whats the fricking problem with just saying it as it is if its JUST time travel?

                No one knows you, You're still a stranger, you still have a proficiency with pokemon etc etc.

                Which isn't true at all.
                With Arven it requires ignoring what he said to claim that he's deconfirming time travel.
                And with the magazines you people assume it's true when the game clearly states its false.

We've had moronic villains, bones and skin of a plotline, and flat characters in a pokemon game before, but this shit right here? Completely deranged, even for Gamefreak. Time Travel is fricking stupid and should've never been a trope, especially if they deliberately try to make it even MORE confusing than it should be.

                , I think just saying
                >"Time Machine (TM)" is fuelled by the Third Legendary, which takes people's desires and makes them physically manifest, time travel was never real and terastallizing is just "wishing" your pokemon was a certain type
                Is a lot easier to digest than
                >Time Travel is real, Heath sees the pokemon from the past or future because the third legendary likes to dick with him, they disappear for 200 years and then come back with the Time Machine that Sada/Turo made with meme crystals. Said meme crystals are able to make time travel and terastallizing as well because ????
                Time Travel is just charged with headache inducing scenarios, especially when it goes so far back in time. Theres a reason why its always shit when introduced late in a story, or if it isn't one and done from the very beginning.

                This, if we've had multiple instances of time travel in the past but they were open and shut cases, in SV you have to make up so much shit to say it's time travel and even argue against the game which goes out of its way to say the claims about time travel are dubious.

                Oh I'm not denying that. It's very simple to understand because of the fluidity of imagination and subtle reality warping, basically it can make sense because you can just go
                >they imagined it so it happened!
                To fill any plot holes with the theory granted that means it doesn't really hold up under scrutiny or have any real consistency between believers.
                Thats why you have imaginationgays saying that the time machine is an imagination printer or was an imagined time machine which would just make it a time machine.

                In other words, while it seems simple to the, well, simple minded, it becomes increasingly more complicated when thought it put into it.

                Meanwhile time travel is just clear cut, the only issue brought up by it is the fact that that Paradox pokemon are in the past which is conveniently solved by the fact that there's a usable time machine to solve the paradox.
                It's very simple.

                I don't understand how you can criticize imagine theory for saying it can be used to fill plotholes and then immediately end your post by saying it's a time machine, so the blatant plothole so big that the game calls it out can be fixed because it's a time machine.

                Because you're not reading what I'm saying.
                The imagination theory is used to fill plot holes but it creates others which means more headcanon needs to be used to fill more plotholes.
                That's the problem with the theory.

                The common one is the paradox pokemon 200 years ago.
                The time travel theory has it simply be that the time machine was used at some point. Most likely in the DLC.
                The imagination theory claims that the expedition was faked in its entirety and heath never actually saw them with the professors bringing them to life when they went into the crater. But then you have Heath knowing about the other details of the crater not to mention the clear pictures like the markings. There's absolutely zero chance that it was faked.
                Then there's the fact that there was the expedition to build the labs 80 years ago where presumably nothing happened and everything went off without a hitch. No imaginary pokemon, possession or anything just normal construction which raises the question as to why that was the case which imagination theorists ignore because it doesn't fit with their theory.

                >Why would anyone in the story send a Pokemon back to Heath's time, and then retrieve it?
                We don't know, it's most likely going to be explained in the DLC. That's why no one outright says that's definitely the case and just puts it out there as a plausible scenario.
                Also with imagination the plot can't really go anywhere. There's no real danger to be had once you find and catch the third legend and it would be hard to justify being able to find more pokemon in Paldea just like that, the last time we had something like that was ORAS environmental changes and that was equally as stupid because its an island region.

                So you have made up some other shitty theory to make your time travel duckers look more plausible? pathetic Black person.

                Real Imagination theory claims what:

                >Expedition have been set up to investigate the Crater

                >Beforehand there was lots of myths surrounding crater (Greedy Paldean King always sent his people to investigate it and gather some treasure but no one have been returned, this is what you can learn from History Classes in game btw)

                >Expedition members feared the Crater and possible monstrous creatures what living in it

                >Expedition members also believed what there is some treasure at the bottom of the Crater

                >All that was granted to them (by unknown mysterious third legendary what we will discover in DLC) in the Crater in the form of monstrous Pokémon and magical herbs what cure everything and make you stronger + magical crystals what makes your Pokémon stronger

                >Heath then writes a book about all that

                >That book became best seller because of how bizarre all that was

                >Professor Sada/Turo had that book as a kid and was absolutely in love with it

                >Professor Sada/Turo believed what monstrous Pokémon described in that book was no other than Pokémon from past/future

                >Professor ventured to Crater themselves and started to develop time machine (because they was convinced what monstrous Pokémon was from different time)

                >They actually managed to make a time machine and it actually gave exactly these monsters to them, because again - whatever you believe into will be granted(by that unknown disk third legendary) as long as you inside of the Crater.

                How is two people having different takes on imagination theory disproving anything? Everyone agrees Heath made the paradoxes up, I personally don't think the 3rd legend imprinted the idea of the paradox mons in people's heads, but that's not really the point since the bottom line is that they're fake.

                Literally the only npc in the entire game that believed in time travel was the professor. No, Arven didn't, Clavell didn't, the Sada/Turo friends didn't(the ones that abandoned him), not even Heath said anything about time travel homosexualry and only called the paradox pokemon as "monsters from area zero"... It's one NPC agains't the entire fricking game. This isn't enough proof for me that he is right about the time machine working as intended if he is even using Heath's old schematics.

                You do realise they were abandoned in the time BETWEEN the first Raidon and the last, right?
                It also wasn't due to lack of belief but rather the professor's growing insanity.
                This is all in game.

                I don't see why you would think this is evidence if they didn't have a time machine back then to think of the idea, which would also put a Thorn in the side of the imagination theory since they wouldn't imagine past and future pokemon down there.
                Also look at your image, they literally call them pokemon.

                Sada and Turo believe it's time travel.
                The AIs believe it's time travel.
                The pokemon are classified as paradoxes commonly associated with time travel.
                The themes of the pokemon being past and future.
                Arven foreshadows more time travel.
                Everything is overtly saying time travel which you're denying.

                Meanwhile the only thing about imagination is is the Suicune/Virizion page which of course can be explained by the third legend.

                Paradox is just a contradiction which these pokémon really are. It has nothing to do with time loop time travel.

                Arven is just as confused as everyone else about these pokémon and is the only npc that said it doesn't make any sense.

                If you had been paying attention to the game, while they're based on the professor they do have their own thoughts separate to them which is why pic related can happen.
                >Paradox is just a contradiction which these pokémon really are.
                A paradox is a specific type of contradiction commonly associated with time travel because of the variety of paradoxes.
                I'm not saying it's exclusive to time travel but a very common link.

                Going back to imagination however there's no contradiction whatsoever time or otherwise, something brought to life via imagination is just alive.

                >Arven is just as confused as everyone else about these pokémon and is the only npc that said it doesn't make any sense.

                Except they are real that's the problem, there's no contradiction to their existence if they're brought to life. They just exist via imagination.

                No, its a saying referring to hard work and determination. Making your dreams a reality doesn't literally mean making it real.

                And? The point is that the AI is a copy of the professor, if they didn't believe in the professor or time travel they wouldnt have gone in the """"time machine""""" at the end of the game. they held the same beliefs as the professor, they just drew a line that the real professor crosses

                What you don't seem to understand is that once it starts thinking for itself it stops being a copy and becomes its own entity that has its own thoughts and feelings.

                Which brings us to another issue, if it wasn't a time machine then they wouldn't have disappeared. Even if you think it was a crystal it would leave a mechanical husk behind that couldn't be absorbed into the third legend.
                >but thats exactly what the professor does in a very literal sense
                No they don't. There's nothing in the game that suggests they just wished something into reality even the AI says it was built and hints that the crystals gave the professor the knowledge to build it.
                >and we have two pokemon with time powers
                No we don't.
                We have one that IS time, Dialga

                It's the same with Hoopa and Palkia mind you.

                The third legend and jirachi would have the exact same classification/gimmick whatever you want to call it.

                not if it was 100% created by the disk legend, which is exactly what it was, as it appears suddenly one day after the professor wishes for it. if there a log that says "im gonna make an AI clone of myself" you'd be right, but there isnt, just the prof wishing for a double and getting exactly that, there was no actual reason for the ai to be a 1:1 clone of the professor down to the fricking outfit (what do they gain from having it be a guy who walks and talks and not just being confined to a computer or even some floating bit like a rotomphone) unless it was a wish granted down to the smallest detail
                > even the AI says it was built
                The ai also says its impossible for humans to build it, if it was built it was by the wish machine which also explains why it got re-absorbed and turned into crystals

                And how exactly does this help your argument? Ignoring the fact that you're applying real world logic to fiction this just means it would be time travel since the AI didn't discover the wish mechanic.
                Not to mention the "imagination" machine would have ceased since there's no mind to feed it.

                Anyway, how about this. If you're so sure an imaginary pokemon would be a paradox explain it. What about it makes it's existence contradictory.

                No one is contesting that, but the term paradox is commonly associated with time travel, you won't be able to find a time travel story that doesn't mention some kind of paradox.
                Once again, I am NOT saying that it's exclusive to time travel I am saying that it's COMMONLY ASSOCIATED with it.
                I don't know how I can say this to you in a way that your clearly simple mind can understand.

                Anon, from the start people have been using Arven's clear foreshadowing of a bootstrap paradox to disprove the imagination theory.

                i feel like the game kinda beats you over the head with imagination/wish fulfillment. the treasure hunt is whatever you want it to be -> the "treasure" at the bottom of area zero is whatever the expedition expected or wanted it to be. the dlc paradoxes being in-text fakemon. the terastal hats looking like a projection from the pokemon's mind. vanilla time travel doesn't really tie it together as satisfyingly for the narrative as a whole.

                We really need to make a big compilation image of all the times the game says treasure, wishes and imagination because they really do harp on these themes.

                I mean, sure if you want to embarrass yourself. For starters treasure has nothing to do with wishes to reality in and of itself.
                Wishes the game practically drives home don't just happen on their own and requires hard work to achieve which the imagination theory goes against.

                Then imagination in the context of the theory only has the one page.

                The entire theme of the game is finding out what you want, what you wish, what you treasure, and making your adventure in your own way to fulfill those wishes. It's even what destroyed the Paldean Empire thousands years ago, the seek for people's treasure which is just something they believed and wanted to be hidden in the crater.

                CAN be used, so it only makes sense with headcanon. A time machine can do literally anything, but what matters is that the story deliberately puts rules in place that makes it so it couldn't do what timegays are arguing it did, and the only way a time machine can make sense is if we ignore these rules and let the time machine godmod through every conceivable plot hole.

                The thing that makes me think its imaginary shit is the pokedex entries. With UBs, honest to god ALIENS in pokemon, they were straightforward with the fact that they are ayyys, and later on we travel to Dimension Ayylmao which reinforces "holy shit aliens" and nobody questions it. There's no carrot on a stick or a guy questioning if the ayys are really ayys, and the Ultra Recon Squad along with the pokedex say "This crazy motherfricker right here? Yeah its an alien from Planet Ayylmao".

                If its time travel, they'd just say "yooo this Jigglypuff came from the Precambrian era from a bajillion years ago and can break steel with its screams" or "Holy shit this mecha Hydreigon from the future has a bite force of 3 million PSI". But in both games they tiptoe with EVERY Paradox Pokemon and say "ohh this thing was sighted, I think, and it kinda looks like this thing from an old book or magazine maybe???". The Pokedex has NEVER been this shit at describing a pokemon in the history of pokemon PERIOD, no matter how out there or legendary it is. There's too much weird shit that makes me think it's just straightforward timetravel, and it'd be infinitely lame and make no fricking sense if they lampshaded the absurdity of time travel and acted super vague about it just to play it straight anyway.

                , if they were playing it straight there'd be no need to have source after source in the game saying it's bullshit and that time travel makes no sense.

                No, that's headcanon that wasn't even the first recorded instance because that was technically Mega Ray which AZ was there to watch during the second coming of Kyogre and Groudon.
                Anyway, it charged a bunch of meteors sure, but any meteor can be charged with any energy as shown in ORAS with the giant meteor that created sootopolis absorbing Primal energy to become a giant keystone and the geothermal energy turning the meteor from meteor falls into one.

                That means that potentially mega evolution could have happened in prehistory without being recorded.

                >unlike with supposedly Sandy Shocks.
                Which is headcanon because we don't know anything of the era they come from. Also still a moot point, this is the pokemon world, not the real world and there's nothing to say that they didn't exist first.

                Black person what? There's so much headcanon here
                >All that was granted to them
                This isn't true. Everyone who went into the crater before Heath's team was never heard from again.

                >Heath then writes a book about all that
                There's literally no other record of expeditions into the crater until Heath's. He can't write about something he didn't see and then have it still be accurate. That's fricking stupid.

                Sada/Turo believed what monstrous Pokémon described in that book was no other than Pokémon from past/future
                Which is fricking headcanon. Only Occulture says that they're from the past or future and if they were influenced by that Turo wouldn't be obsessed with the future. There's literally only one magazine that even says anything about the future and its about thorns.
                Bundle is an ancient machine
                Treads is a super advanced alien weapon

                There's absolutely no logical reason why Turo would think
                >hm all of these things must be from the future
                When nothing says they're from the future which lines up with time travel because that theory suggests that the third legend influenced them into time travel based on the fact that they suddenly started talking about it out of the blue.

                ventured to Crater themselves and started to develop time machine (because they was convinced what monstrous Pokémon was from different time)
                They didn't even go into the crater explicitly for a time machine why would they even go in thinking it would help them make a time machine at all when it's still a barely documented area and no one knew what the crystals could really do UNTIL the professor and their crew ventured in and developed the Tera Orb.

                You can't even use the AI because the professors never asked for an AI they asked for another version of themselves, if it brought believes into reality then there would just be another one of them.
                It's a machine that they built with their own two hands that's powered by the crystals.

                The imagination theory says that Heath didn't fake the expedition, he faked what he encountered because the drawings in the floor and some giant crystals weren't good enough to sell. The imaginary pokemon weren't there until the professors made the imagination machine powered by the tera crystals by the third legendary, so it makes perfect sense they weren't there. The possession happened 200 years ago because the third legendary thought Heath could build the imagination machine and gave him the blueprints and formulas, but he didn't understand any of it so it didn't happen again until the professors arrived.

                The professor's crew didn't build the labs. That happened 80 years before, they weren't even born yet when it happened.

                If imagination was a factor and it passively generates things based on the wants and desires of those in the crater something would have happened.

                Do you see the hypocrisy in your words here?
                The only evidence for imagination has been left for dlc.

                Turned off, not destroyed.
                You can use another ID to turn it back on and there's an entire crew that built the time machine INCLUDING the other professor that was there to see the The Raidon come through.

                No, because the third legendary needs the imagination machine built by the professor to do that, without it it can only possess people like Heath. No, the third legendary didn't make any of the imagination pokemon real during Heath's time, Heath invented what he saw.

                So you're saying that the entire game didn't as actually happen and there was no threat from a time machine pumping out violent past/future pokemon.
                You know, because there was no imagination to draw from once the professor died.

                >Heath invented what he saw.
                The likelyhood of that is incredibly low due to their specific designs. Especially where the future pokemon were concerned since they're clearly more futuristic than they could comprehend.

                it is a possibility but at the same time both versions are culturally influenced by the concept of past and future even the school anthem refers to it
                if they are really "imagined" i don't think they came up with any specific creatures but they are a hodgepodge of things they had in mind that influenced the designs of the paradoxes so that disk mon would make them

                The sketch artist based their design on what they saw not the other way around.
                There's no such thing as a "photo artist" so that doesn't make sense they just take pictures of what's there rather than making something up.

                This actually means very little, when areas constantly change, and even collapse, in real life if something upsets the balance. I’m pretty sure the Third Legend is a Terraformer, and unleashed Paradox Pokémon in the past to transform Area Zero into the beginnings of it’s ‘Paradise’ it wants. There were probably native species that went extinct because of the ecosystem’s collapse and transformation, as noticed by a Primate-based Pokémon not existing in current times, that was recorded back in Heath’s time.

                It’s likely the Paradox Pokémon released in Heath’s era, we’re in the process of converting and decimating the native flora into the temperate bed it is now.

                the fact that monitoring stations have been built there is perhaps one reason?

                How would building individual labs necessitate removing an entire jungle? Even the labs that look like little communities are squirreled away on the upper levels and are the size of a small in-game town at MOST, that isn't nearly enough to explain away an entire fricking jungle no matter how hard you try.

                I definitely think that either the Photos of Great Tusk and Iron Treads were taken outside of Area Zero, a different part of Area Zero we’ve yet to explore, or the environment has been artificially changed by the wildlife inhabiting the place.

                Or, the events of the Burned Tower happened 50 years after Heath’s expedition, like logical deduction states. Even if time wasn’t 1:1, and it was ~20 years past GSC timeframe in S/V, that still leaves a huge gap of 30-38 years after Heath’s expedition that the Beast Trio were first recorded into existence.

                I’ll say it again, the Disc is an Akashic Record, used by some unknown, fourth Legendary that is a Psychic Type, that recorded the past and future of the Pokémon world, and draws on that knowledge to create the Paradox Pokémon, to fit it’s ideal view of the perfect world. It does this because it wants the world to be like the one it came from, even at the cost of native species, even though it’s incorporated them into it’s designs, so as not to ever truly ‘lose’ the knowledge that they existed. It just makes incredibly more powerful Pokémon to replace what is lost, so they can eventually take over the vacated niches when the ecosystem collapses and depends on them to fill in the missing spots.

                Nah, that's the timetravelcuck shit where you ignore all the times the game explicitly tells you there's something wrong with the scenario the professor pushes. Imagination is the only version that ties all together, Carlos, that's why we are right, we consider Turo and Sada's schizo ramblings and all the discrepancies between their story, occulture and a the books and find something that explains it all.

              Oh and if it isn't time travel then literally nothing makes sense without a ludicrous amount of headcanon and misinterpretation that disregards the game itself.
              You can even see it in this thread with the people who are denying it being time travel not knowing about things that the game explains like the book containing the Professor's ID, with them coming to the conclusion that the book itself was a key and that any old book could be used.

                Not that the book itself was the key just that it was easy to replace the book for one that wouldn't work with the time machine, it's like making a key almost identical with other ones that is easy to mix with the real one. Did you read the posts or are just shitposting?

                Let's see, we have Jigglypuff that existed far before the crater or life on the planet did, Volcarona who conveniently has never been indicated to live in that time period and there are no fossils found of it, Salemence which is literally just a bigfoot photo-tier version of the mega, Tyranitar that looks like it's been taken directly from Pokestar Studios, Mega Galladevoir fusion that's apparently built by some scientist, and a literal imaginary Pokemon that we're getting as DLC

                You're just proving my point. You're under the assumption that Occulture is real when the game itself practically says it isn't. It's not a factor in anything so it doesn't affect time travel or imagination.
                Well I say that it doesn't affect imagination but like another anon said, Turo wouldn't think of a time machine if he was as influenced by Occulture.

                >Literally wouldn't exist if the original professor didn't wish for help. This is stated.
                Also misinterpretation, not to mention it specifies knowledge and not a wish.
                If imagination and wishes were a factor then it wouldn't even be an AI it would just be another copy of the professor.
                >The only legacy that anything from Area Zero was even real
                What?
                The metal slab?
                The markings?
                The herba mystica?
                The sketch of the spiral path down in the crater?
                The crystals?
                Everything in the book we can confirm exists.
                You're laser focused on the paradox pokemon because that's the only thing that hasn't been 100% verified yet but with the imagination theory saying it was 100% made up and the expedition never happened then why would it be so accurate?
                See the problem?

                >A literal demiurge
                There's a lot of alchemy themes in the game, it's more likely a philosopher's stone which also plays into the knowledge and treasure theme. Not to mention the type changing nature of Terastallization. Lead to gold, Fire to Water and so on.

                >IN the demiurge
                Yeah no, the obvious reason why is because the time machine would still be on since it could just spit it out again and the reactivation program would start.
                Unless you headcanon some reason why it couldn't come back which is the imagination theory in a nutshell I suppose.

                >There has already been interdimensional and time travel in this series, it's not that deep.
                Why does it have to be deep?
                Actually, why do you want it to be deep? The whole idea of imagination overcomplicstes things to an unnecessary degree while time travel is just time travel, it's easy to explain.

                We would have fossils of the mons if it was time travel, a real time frame for jigglypuff, and wouldn't have a form that predates mega evolution, a form that predates magnets and a form that predates pokeballs. The future ones wouldn't look like how an average person from 200 years ago would imagine future technology to be like.

                nta but i think people are losing the plot when they get into the semantics of whether or not we could hypothetically have fossils. the point of the game saying they never found slither wing fossils isn't to start a discussion on fossilization and all possible means of it, it's to shine a light on the fact that zero records of slither wing (or any past paradox) exist anywhere in archeology despite all other ancient dino-mons having enough remains that they could reconstruct them and know when/where they lived and everything.

                the point is that the game is telling us they lack proof showing they ever actually existed in the past, otherwise they wouldnt have brought it up in the first place

                The real reason we don't have fossils is because it creates a situation where there's more in Scarlet than Violet.
                You can't have a future fossil.

                What the frick? It's literally central to the plot, (you) are sent from the future because people and Pokemon are already friends which makes catching for you easy and during the climax of the story you're also cast out because of this, they also use it to get cameos like Ingo in the game, time travel absolutely important to the plot as well as the gameplay.

                >It's literally central to the plot
                No, no it isn't. You can remove the fact that you came from the future and nothing about the plot really changes.
                Even the time rifts are just there to throw in pokemon that's shouldn't logically be in the region like Porygon.

                It's not the focal point of the game. Even Ingo didn't need to exist because the only thing he did was lead you through a cave, it's not like you send him back or anything like that, hell, you yourself don't even go back to the present.

                Do you get it now?
                You could cut everything about time travel and nothing changes.
                While a game like Prince of Persia Sand of Time for instance has it ingrained in the plot and as a central mechanic. You can't separate time travel from that game and still have it make sense.

        Hallucinogenic? I suppose if they're able to make you hallucinate something into reality, but I wouldn't bank everything on "they're not real, everyone who goes into Area Zero ends up hallucinating", because you fight Iron Treads/Great Tusk before any exposure to Area Zero. That is without a doubt a plot point written to prevent people from coming to the "you are crazy, they're normal pokemon, you're just tripping balls" conclusion. The prehistoric/futuristic pokemon are real, there's no questioning that.

          The magazines refer to various hearsay from locals, not the scarlet/violet books exclusively. “Scientists” are mentioned in the Sandy Shocks one for instance. This is notable in the Scream Tail and Iron Thorns cases, in that the magazine attributes their temporal displacement to “rumors” and mentions the similar creature in Heath’s book as only the namesake for the codename.

              Human intervention, the labs for instance were made 120 years after Heath's expedition and obviously that would cause some kind of alteration to the terrain.
              >>two paradox pokemon confirmed to be DLC material are explicitly said to be imaginary
              The fact that they're real should tell you that they aren't imaginary and something else is going on. It's not the other way around.
              Mystica is only found at titan pokemon lairs, not in Area Zero where it supposedly come from
              Again, human intervention.
              could't possibly see Winged King/Iron Serpent because the only two of each paradox ever retrieved to modern times are in your team
              Also false we have a time machine that could be used at a later date to send the pokemon back or it was sent and not recorded. They're very plausible explanations but of course you're not interested in plausibility because it ruins your personal headcanon.

                Imagination theory never stated they aren’t real. They ARE, however, became real BECAUSE of someone’s imagination/dreams/fears of unknown.
                That is the main point, they are real but they are also made up by people minds, intentionally or not.

    I don't know where else to post this schizo rant so I'll just dump it here cause it's related enough.
    I was looking through my recordings of the professor fight and I noticed this fricking dialogue.
    >Do you imagine you can best the wealth of data at my disposal with your human brain?
    >Do you IMAGINE
    Why the FRICK would he say "Do you imagine" instead of "Do you think"?? I'm going fricking insane. If it's NOT some kind of imagination bullshit with all these fricking hints they are dropping, I'm going to kill myself.

      why does the professor say this and not the AI? doesn’t the professor have a human brain too? Also doesn’t it make more sense that the professor, whose ultimate dream is to do future stuff, would just upload himself to a robots body so he can withstand time travel and go live there?
      and does the game ever say where this hole came from

          That one is easy to explain.
          The AI is the straight forward one.
          Sada is the imprint she left to form the basis of the AI and PPP after she went insane/was possessed by the third legend.
          Sada? Is the real imprint of Sada before being influenced. The one that was excited to give birth to Arven and raise him.

      Because he's asking the player if he can comprehend the amount of data.
      It's a hint towards the fact that the third legend is a wellspring of knowledge that can influence and corrupt people as you can see with the real professors.

              There's no way to confuse a fresh copy of the book with her personal one especially since there would be signs of alterations that she had to make to fit the card into the thing.

                They never explain exactly how the ID is in the book. Is it a card? A tag? Their old trainer ID from the time at the academy? Was it simply written manually in the book? How does the machine "scan" the book (and only the book, it's literally made to fit the book in) to search for the ID? If it's a physical ID why isn't the machine designed for it? It's like making a door that opens not when you put the keys on, but when you introduce a box that may or may not have the keys themselves.

                In any case its incredibly common to see people do their own little things to keep track of what they need to, back when I was in college we had similar IDs to get in and out and I knew someone who embedded it into their bag so they would never forget it because they never got used to carrying it.

        It would be stupidly convenient if out of ALL pokemon that lived/will live in Area Zero the only ones that look different to modern day pokemon are the ones already included in the book.

        If he didn't write it but it was in his handwriting he was clearly possessed.

          He did write it but like you said was some kind of possession. It's literally "automatic writing" or psychography

        If that's the case that's just sad, I wish the DLC comes out son so they can finally be proven wrong and end this argument. Obsessing over this for months can't be healthy.

    The Iron Treads in the the sketch and book don't describe the eyes as strange, so that wasn't a trait held by it at the time.

    Imagine if in the DLC Zinnia shows up with a mechanical feathered version of Mega Rayquaza called Iron Feathers or something and says her line

        Which makes it the ideal kind of ending. A hated shows up out of nowhere and hijacks the plot for her own ends.

        Or he was just fed information by discmon.
        I'd say that's the most likely situation.

          This.

          The Disc Pokémon is an Akashic Record, a record of the past and the future. It’s the only way the Paradox of a perfect rendering of a fusion of the Three Beasts could exists, is because the Disc Pokemon was aware before hand, and created a copy formit’s own use.

            Or they're just real versions.

            That sounds too based to be real

              I mean I think it’s also separate from the Tarasque on top, that is the Third Legendsry that deals with Terastal crystals.

                I really hope it's Tarasque-inspired because it would tie even better with Kalos

                Yeah. The third legend matches the description of the Tarasque. “ It’s described as a Lion headed monster, with six pairs of paws of a Bear, the shell of a Turtle, and ending with the scaly tail of a serpent that ends in a spurred shape of an arrowhead,( or half of a fish,) and a mouth full with sword-like teeth as sharp as horns. In French Heraldry, it’s been described as a green (sinople) dragon swallowing a man, with golden scales covering it’s hide.”

                Also the eight Paradox Forms we have, totally 16 in total so far: “The poor locals found out that if the Tarasque devoured eight people in one sitting. then over the next six months it is completely safe. And they set the order for the payment of this nightmarish dues… (this next bit is In reference to a Parade, they have a float pulled by…) Exactly eight - In memory of the Tarasques appetites.”

                Forgot the image…

                There’s also the Tarasque’s Parents:
                Onachus/Bonacho - A goat-like entity that seems to have been a parent of the Tarasque. Repurposed to be a creation of the Third Legendary, based off of the Swords of Justice. “Iron ‘Sword’”
                (Apparently Psychic/Fighting Type, it could perhaps be said so, because the Bonacho flung it’s own feces like an arrow to hit and burn it’s targets)

                Leviathan - A mythical sea-serpent that seems to have been a parent of the Tarasque. Repurposed as the creation of the Third Legend, perhaps into a Water/Dragon(or Water/Fire/Water/Elecrtic) Suicuine Paradox form incorporating both Entei and Raikou… a ‘Mythic Beast’.
                (It’s of note that Paradox Suicune is seen without the notable ‘Draconic/dinosaur’ tail, but Leviathan has been noted to possibly be more than a fish or sea serpent. It has also been described as walking on land, as the root word could be describing a Crocodile; so the definition of ‘Leviathan’ being a four legged beast could be played with loosely here. The root of the name also means ‘to twine;to join’, and as Suicune’s ‘ribbon-like’ tails can twist and come together, applied here it could be a literal interpretation that these entwine to become the ‘tail’. Levithan’s are also chaos incarnate, and what is more chaotic that surging waters.)

              You say that but it has something to do with information and knowledge.
