        But every single Pokémon that has an official dex number has at least one dream world artwork (which is why it stops at 1008, everything added after doesn't have an official natdex number yet)

                It was an example of how people from the Galaxy Team weren't hyper-competant, full-fledged Trainers, the likes of which Lucas had met on his gym challenge journey. Akari gets flustered when attacked because this is the first time she's had to repeatedly interact with wild pokémon as part of the survey team., in contrast to every other modern trainer who ends up in a wild 'mon battle (IIRC, Ingo similarly has no issue with commanding pokes in battle but the rest do - either they don't carry them in balls, so don't have big teams or do carry them in balls but are unable or unwilling to care for a full team of 6).
                I'm astonished people miss Legends was the way it was to show that the pokemon universe wasn't settled by Trainers from the outset, but rather the peoples had to learn to get over their arse about pokémon before eing able to bond with them and begin to evolve their society to one where battling ends up a core part of the fabric of society. This even extends to the movelist included - no shit like earthquake, Giga Impact and Hyper Beam reducing action speed, rather than requiring a recharge turn, Draco Meteor lowering all attack stats, insteadd of just Sp. Attk. The inference of evolution of Hisui, its peoples and the refinement of pokémon battle strats was clear to anyone who looked.

                and you're projecting. You think it's time travel when the game is pretty implicit about that not being the case. Meanwhile everyone that's actually played it is saying "it's literally anything else. Use your imagination."

                Here's the thing, it's easy to say, "sont interact with bait" but the problem is that you get people hold themselves up well enough that you think they're being genuine. Then it goes on and something comes out and you realise they've been stringing you along the entire time.

                If we had IDs or something like that again it would go a long way to improving board quality

            The problem with this is that they never mention any time travel during the game. Just the professor's fantasy of it. Yet if you actually play the game everything conforms to this line of thinking without leaving any loose ends whereas time travel just doesn't work especially given that there are Pokemon games that do include it, and it's not this.

            There literally isn't anything to discuss about any other theory. The game goes out of it's way to make everything that could be assumed to be the result of time travel be of questionable authenticity (Paradox Pokemon are actually from occult magazines, the "time machine" just makes shit appear in Pokeballs instead and is never used in any provable way to actually travel through time, and all theming around Tera crystals effectively ignores the concept of time travel but heavily revolves around dreams and wishes).

            Look at the first DLC and how Ogerpons unique interaction with Terastallization is specifically described to be it's overwhelming desires and memories. They literally could not be making this theming more obvious. Meanwhile the closest thing you could possibly even TRY to argue as being time travel in that DLC is that some people see dead family member at the Crystal Pool but even that makes more sense with the "dreams and wishes" theory.

            Hell, the thing they could have actually very easily attributed to time travel, the fricking Blood Moon Ursaluna, EXPLICITLY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TERASTAL PHENOMENON.

    How does this explain Heath seeing Paradox Pokémon, though? Heath shouldn’t be ‘dreaming’ of seeing anything down in Area Zero; again he’s going in here as an unbiased researcher. This sort of posits that Terapagos is omnipotent, or omniscient, knowing when Heath entered Area Zero to make these dreams come to life so he could ‘see’ them and write them down. It doesn’t explain why they look like they could be from the past or future, or even explain why he would dream up something that would hurt their own men to the point of mortally wounding them?

        It’s obviously not the first half, but the second half doesn’t make sense, because as it’s been brought up before, the expectations Heath would have had for the past at least makes sense, but the future is far too advanced for anyone over 200 years ago to imagine, for the mysterious guardian to manifest?

        Heath didn't see anything, every Paradox Pokemon came from the professor, the photos are faked. We don't know why Heath lied but we'll figure that out later, everything falls into place if you throw out the idea there was anything in the crater before the professor.

        Sure, if you ignore it, which is exactly why that’s obviously not the case. Especially when despite supposedly writing up fantasy, everything Heath wrote about ended up being wholly true and factual, from Herba Mystica, to the Paradox Pokemon. He did not just make them up, fake images, or any other bull crap reasoning people use to justify time travel.

          I think the important thing to note is that Heath recognized the paradoxes he saw were generally iron and metallic, which people from 200 years ago would be familiar with. Just an iron machine unknown to mankind. Never once in the book does Heath mention the paradoxes he saw were possibly “robots from the future.”
          When Turo read the Violet Book however, he made up that headcanon himself that it must be futuristic robots probably fueled by Occulture magazines he read.

            That's funny because the Occulture entry for Iron Bundle says that it's from an ancient civilization. I'm pretty sure none of the Occulture magazines say anything about the future, just weird shit like aliens and crazy scientists.

              The professor was influenced by Occulture, but they probably came up with the past/future theme on their own to justify why the crater didn't have any Pokemon when they showed up. The professor had been obsessed with the book since childhood, but the Occulture books we find are released on a monthly basis, I don't think Occulture is where the professor gets the time theme from.

                Did...did you finish reading my post? I said the professor came up with the time theme independently. Occulture probably influenced the professor's perception of the personalities of the paradox mons, or maybe their designs, but the professor was thinking "paradox = past/future Pokemon" since probably before they got to Area Zero. As soon as Turo read "these fricked up monsters made of iron" he drew the connection to robot.

                Yeah, that also doesn't really work.
                None of the attributes from Occulture can be seen in the paradoxes other than aggression.
                In fact if they were inspired and dreamed them up at all you wouldn't be able to catch Bundle, Valiant and Hands because they would just be two machines and a human. They would lack the shrinking ability of pokemon that allows them to be caught.

                All of the Occulture articles say something to this effect so we can safely say that any physical attributes and behavior were also mentioned in the Books. The only parts unique to Occulture would be things like this
                >One theory holds that it is in fact a robot—the product of a mad scientist's efforts to create the most powerful psychic Pokémon of all.
                But because of the professor and the ability to catch them we know that these are actually biomechanical rather than just machines.

                Which then brings us to the question, how did Occulture influence the paradoxes if everything exclusive to Occulture isn't shown in game?

                the professor reads occultre, goes "huh some of this makes sense" and adds it to his personal headcanon about how a paradox pokemon comes out. because these pokemon are wishes/dreams, that influence comes out in either design or personality depending on the pokemon.

                We don't have access to the actual pages sure, but Occulture outright says that they were 'described' in the book and looking at this we can say that they actually took down their appearance and behavior.

                i get what you're saying, but again, we still dont know exactly how much detail the book goes into, going back to

                >According to its few eyewitnesses, Iron Valiant appears similar to both Gardevoir and Gallade. It’s also said to be cruel enough to take its brilliantly shining blade and cut down anyone confronting it without hesitation.

                , why would it say "eyewitnesses" here instead of whatever the book says? does the book talk about it having a blade? how do we really know?
                i'd also say occulture goes out of its way to try to characterize all the the paradoxes in some form, which could also have affected how they come out. for example occulture describes iron throrns as cool and calculated, and in-game it's one of the few paradoxes that doesnt attack you on sight

                again, i'm saying i don't see why the idea that the professor incorporated the things he read in occulture is such a wild idea, we know the professor reads the magazines, we don't know how much detail the book goes into, the pokemon themselves are based off of dreams and wishes. why is the idea that the professor had a second source of inspiration so far fetched? it's only a small part of the puzzle here, that, like you said, doesnt actually matter since the pokemon are fake either way.

                Anon, the book is an eyewitness account from Heath.
                The only Paradox anyone outside of the Professor's circle could have seen was Treads and Tusk meaning the distinct features mentioned in Occulture would have to have come from the book.

                On the topic of Donphan it just occurred to me that Occulture may be more recent than we assumed.
                >In one arid corner of Paldea, there have been reports of a mysterious life-form. It's said to resemble a Donphan at first glance, albeit one that can abruptly assume a spherical shape and launch into a swift rolling attack.
                This is referencing the Paradox Donphan that escaped and took up Asado Desert as its home, that happened recently story wise. The professor may not have even read these, Arven may have been collecting them for whatever reason.
                Sure you could say
                >but the others say they were spotted in Paldea
                But the others like that say a certain cave/corner etc. rather than anything specific like an "arid corner".

                all occulture entries are taken from the perspective of random people finding the Pokemon, which is bullshit obviously, occulture is tabloids, but that means "eyewitness" can't be Heath.

                that makes no sense. the specific occulture book found in the professor's lab is right next to his personal computer, arven also has no interest in paradox mons and also fricking hates them because they hurt his dog

                honestly at this point i feel like we're arguing in circles, we dont have enough info on the books outside of very basic information, so its actually impossible to say with any finality just how much the professor got from occulture, if anything at all. im willing to concede so long as everyones on the same page about the paradoxes being fakemons, im much more interested in talking about the dream world stuff

                But instead you're trying to force a boogeyman so you have a scapegoat when someone says something you can't explain which only makes imagination look like a crackpot theory more than it already is.

          >Sure, if you ignore it, which is exactly why that’s obviously not the case.
          Why not? Everything surrounding paradox Pokemon alludes to them being fake cryptids that never actually existed. There's no feasible explanation as to why things like Wake and Leaves exist if they didn't come from the professor, as Heath explicitly says in his book that they were made up.
          If we can rule out time travel, and can agree that we're dealing with the dream world, then as you said, Heath is an unbiased researcher that has no real notions of seeing any specific kind of Pokemon, and the future Paradox designs with their LED light eyes just make no sense for him to come up...therefore, no matter what kind of situation we're in, Heath simply can't make up the paradox Pokemon.

          So...then what? Terapagos put the Pokemon there as a joke, then got rid of them after? The dream world is some space connected through time and someone dropped the paradox Pokemon there and then removed them afterwards, including the explicitly fake Leaves/Wake?
          Trying to physically put the Paradox Pokemon in the crater makes no sense, or involves plot devices we aren't privy to. Saying there were no Pokemon in the crater at all during Heath's expedition fits all of the established plot points, except...
          >verything Heath wrote about ended up being wholly true and factual
          This is the only real outlier, that maybe Heath wasn't a fraud and tried his best to give a genuine report.

          Going over the book again, the last page says that the treasure of area zero is still out there, meaning whatever Heath or the people of Heath's time found wasn't good enough to be treasure, making the trip kind of a waste. Is it possible that the backers funding the book were the ones who made up the Paradox Pokemon so the book would sell, making Heath take the fall publicly? The fact is we don't have the full details of the expedition, and as the other anon said, that's what we're getting to the bottom of.

                The only Occulture description that even mentions the future is Thorns.

                Jugulus is a roboticised Hydreigon

                That's fricking stupid though because the only sightings of them before then was from 200 years ago. No one in their right mind would think they're from the future with that information alone.

      The original theory among time travel gays is that the idea for time travel wasn't originally the professor's but a result of Terapagos manipulating them.

      With Dokutaro and Kieran however that's changed to Dokutaro having being the reason behind it rather than Terapagos itself since it seems like Dokutaro has some kind of mind control or emotional manipulation power seeing as Kieran's goal over time changed from "I want to be friends with the ogre" to "I want to be strong enough to fight by their side" to finally "I want power" and the purple smoke from Kieran's punch seemed to be indicating possession.

    With Dokutaro and Kieran however that's changed to Dokutaro having being the reason behind it rather than Terapagos itself since it seems like Dokutaro has some kind of mind control or emotional manipulation power seeing as Kieran's goal over time changed from "I want to be friends with the ogre" to "I want to be strong enough to fight by their side" to finally "I want power" and the purple smoke from Kieran's punch seemed to be indicating possession.

    To believe in time travel you have to believe that Terapagos will be a side note in its own game.

      That's imagination.
      With time travel and every other theory everything comes out of Terapagos and people trying to abuse it's power.

      With imagination everything about it just happens passively so it just has to exist and no one is actively going after it or using it's crystals for anything.

          said no one ever. and it's imagination/dream manifestation btw. terapagos is a dreamcatcher. it catches a person's dreams

          Which would be passive. The main thing we know about Terapagos right now is that it's dormant. If its abilities are being activated that means it's not doing it of its own free will.

              Acting as if a possible source of infinite energy isn't a treasure is just absolutely delusional especially after we had not one, not two but three generations with different types of energy derived from pokemon.

                It may be valuable in universe but it's worthless narratively (Just like the one piece a literal piece of gold)
                No one in the game is looking for a source of energy and paldea isn't going through an energy crisis.
                Something like that would've made sense in Swsh where the plot was about humans slowly exausting natural ressources and having to use environmentaly destructive source of energy, which was represented by Eternatus a poisonous dragon skeleton which oozes a subsetance that creates high amounts of energy, they couldn't be more on the nose about the theme there.
                Terapagos is a cutesy mozaic turtle and main reoccuring theme of SV is "exploration".
                In a physical sense (represented by the symbol of the league being a compass) but also in a metaphorical, mental sense.
                The game is about finding your treasure, what you dream of and wish for, this is why the setting of the game is a school and why the idea of materialising dreams and desires constantly comes back.

                Please if you're going to be moronic atleast try to actually understand what a coherent narrative would look like.

                Anon, if it has worth in universe then it has worth narratively. You can't separate the two and you don't need an energy crisis to give it value. Simply being a massive source of power on its own can catapult a society, or whoever controls it, to great heights much like how Devon became one of the most successful companies due to infinity energy.
                Not to mention there's also a school on the ocean that could make use of that power since they have a massive terrarium with four different biomes that simulate weather and day and night cycles.
                Not to mention power isn't the only thing it can do since it's the source of terastalization and Herba Mystica, cure all herbs, can be grown when exposed to its power and these herbs can also make pokemon grow.

                There is so much value narratively that we see several times in the main story that it's laughable that you would say that it has none.

                I don't even need to read the rest of your post because I know it's probably going to be nonsense that doesn't tie into the themes of the games and what we've seen

                So you genuinely think One Piece's ending would be satisfying if the one piece was a big piece of gold?
                It's a valuable object in lore sure but it's worthless as a narrative tool because it isn't the culmination of anything in the plot and it doesn't say anything meaningfull about anything.
                Have it unironically be "the friends we made along the way" would make more sense with the themes that were established.

                It justs sounds like you consume fictional stories as if their tangible events and not just narratives.

                Anon, we already know that the one piece is a tangible object it's not going to be some kind of useless emotional moral lesson about it being the friends we made along the way.
                Oda made this clear years ago.

                >because it isn't the culmination of anything in the plot
                Of course it is. It's the thing everyone wants even if they don't know what it is. It's the mystery that gives it value not the actual object itself. It could be a literal turd and it would still serve the same narrative purpose as something that could alter reality.

                >Have it unironically be "the friends we made along the way" would make more sense with the themes that were established.
                Which ironically would go against the theme and everything we've seen in one piece. Like Terapagos being a reality warper would.

                >It justs sounds like you consume fictional stories as if their tangible events and not just narratives

                Not really, no other game gives that much focus on the past and future shaping the character.
                Also I forgot Nemona's past that shaped her excitable character now.

                Anyway, every main character in SV has a past and present events that shape their future.

                Also Blueberry is off the coast of Unova, another game with a past and future theme.

                Most characters just have encounters throughout the game, it's rare that you hear their past or see them into their future or achieve their goal. Take Lillie and Hop for instance the former wanted to become a trainer and you never see that journey, the latter wants to become a professor but you don't see his path to that.

                Also while I was typing this is mixed up Hop and Hau because they're practically the same character.

                That actually is purposeful, and literally doesn’t come into play until the end, where he future and past themes are actually revealed, whereas they just appears to be eccentric clothing choices before then.

                >>the font for Scarlet and Violet on the title

                I can’t say that is really a ‘theme’, as much a stylistic choice of design.

                being a traditional Japanese town and Blueberry being a futuristic self sufficient environment on the ocean

                This definitely could apply, at least to Kitakami, but Blueberry Academy we’ll just have to see.

                Considering Miraidon and Koraidon, the Professors, all end up culminating in the reveal of the future/past themes, yes I can say it only appears in the final arc.

                Sada and Turo appear at the very beginning of the game and speak to you regularly throughout Arven's story.
                While their role in the story comes at the end the characters themselves are a constant presence.

                >I can’t say that is really a ‘theme’, as much a stylistic choice of design
                A stylistic choice meant to represent old and modern respectively.

                And again, much like Sada and Turo the Raidon obviously appear throughout the game.

                You're missing the point. It's not that every character has an arc but that ever character has an arc that has something to do with their past that relates to their future.
                That's not something you see often in pokemon which is what makes it stand out. I mean, think of all the other rivals and MCs in the series and tell me how many of them had a backstory that either causes their story or influences them in the future.

                The only one is Silver and his backstory wasn't added until HGSS and we don't really see his end result. Every other character is an "in the moment character" that doesn't have a story or future

                time travel is the red herring and the big twist of indigo disk, dumb dumb. the game being so in your face with time travel is like when clavell claims he was cassiopeia. SV's narrative consistently misdirects you and it always turns out to "not be what it seems." team star not actually being bad, arven not actually a jerk, team star not actually bad guys, clavell not being cassiopeia, ogerpon not actually being an evil ogre.
                the logical climax is that the raidon you've been riding on the entire game and the time machine aren't actually from the distant past/future

                Are you going to say how? If not then I will.
                Clavell being Cassiopia was obvious from the moment he went undercover specifically to learn more about Team Star, you know the team he led.
                He was such a strong leader for them in fact that he didn't even know about his own plan Operation Star or that his best friends weren't truants bullying people but actually bullies.
                Then there's the way that he expertly hacked your smartphone without knowing what a computer was, only the genius leader behind Team Star could do that.

                If you don't get then I'll explain, saying that it isn't time travel despite all of the evidence for it being so blatant is like saying you genuinely believed Clavell was Cassiopia despite the evidence against it being blatant. Both instances require ignoring the evidence right in front of your face so take this shitty argument and shove it up your ass once and for all.

                Congrats anon, you were correct. The masses said the journal wasn't real but we can in fact say that everything was not what it seems and that the journal was real!

                The fact that your own argument works so well against you only shows how little thought you put into this.
                What's even better is that half the time you chucklefricks usually whinge and say
                >NONONONO THE PUBLIC SAID THE JOURNAL WAS FAKE SO HEATH LIED!
                whenever you hit a corner you just make up an excuse and end up fricking yourself over even more.

                It's almost as if there's absolutely no evidence for imagination and you have to use temper tantrums and samegayging to make it look like there are more of you than there actually are.

                I do think time travel is a possibility, but it wouldn't be million or even billions of years into the past or future. I think the ancient civilization is about 10000 years old. If it really is a time machine, it draws Paradox mons from that time

                You don't even know what this word means. Here's a tip, if everyone thinks it's time travel and try to reconcile their ideas with time travel then the popular view is time travel. It's impossible to be contrarian if you agree with the most popular view.
                But let me guess, you'll probably post one of those bitted polls to say that imagination is popular here.

                It makes a huge difference anon, because it means that the professor was either lying (especially in Turo's case) or was too crazy to even understand the machine they built
                It also means that the Paradoxes are not a result of evolution, but were somehow created or altered by the ancient civilization (which is the core element of my personal take on the Atlantis theory)
                It's not about muh time travel, it's about the true origin of the Paradox Pokémon, that's all

                No it doesn't. The point of contention isn't when they came from but how they came to be. If a time machine was used then the amount of time doesn't matter because a time machine was the reason they exist in the modern day.
                >because it means that the professor was either lying
                Neither professor gives concrete dates so no.

                Glad you agree that the time span itself doesn't matter and only the use of the time machine does.

                Yeah, you're right
                He's literally just doing this to force people to argue with him without ever coming to a conclusion, him saying "this is literally just an us vs. them thing" all but confirms this
                It's not about discussing lore, it's purely about arguing
                It's fricking sad, really

                Anyway, my theory is that the ancient civilization made Paradox Pokémon by altering the DNA of existing Pokémon (hence the relation of the Raidons to Cyclizar). Heath DID really see the Paradox mons in Area Zero because they were the last surviving remnants of the ancient civilization
                The time machine either draws the Pokémon from the time the civilization lived in or doesn't do any time shit and instead does the DNA altering thing

                There's several hints towards an ancient civilization, I'm pretty sure there's SOMETHING there even if I'm totally wrong

                Anon, you know one of the replies to that post was this, right?

                There literally isn't anything to discuss about any other theory. The game goes out of it's way to make everything that could be assumed to be the result of time travel be of questionable authenticity (Paradox Pokemon are actually from occult magazines, the "time machine" just makes shit appear in Pokeballs instead and is never used in any provable way to actually travel through time, and all theming around Tera crystals effectively ignores the concept of time travel but heavily revolves around dreams and wishes).

                Look at the first DLC and how Ogerpons unique interaction with Terastallization is specifically described to be it's overwhelming desires and memories. They literally could not be making this theming more obvious. Meanwhile the closest thing you could possibly even TRY to argue as being time travel in that DLC is that some people see dead family member at the Crystal Pool but even that makes more sense with the "dreams and wishes" theory.

                Hell, the thing they could have actually very easily attributed to time travel, the fricking Blood Moon Ursaluna, EXPLICITLY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TERASTAL PHENOMENON.

                He then goes on to get information about Ogerpon's unique terastalization wrong.

                I think this is the argument I hate the most. I mean, the order you do things in a story is important conveying different things when you do them.
                With all of the Occulture books about the obtainable paradoxes being obtainable before the paradoxes themselves it acts as a red herring.
                If they were found after then they could be used to cast doubt on their existence.

                As much as I hate to agree with imaginationgay, he's right this time. The whole point of a theory is using evidence to come to a conclusion, it's not just headcanon out of the blue.

                It wouodn’t, which is why the Tera Orbs were actually created to gather ambient Tera Energy, which is why it stops ‘making’ Tera Crowns after a certain bit. It’s not ‘out’ of Tera Energy, it’s the opposite, it’s full, and needs to be emptied from the orb into some device installed by the league, on Sada’s/Turo’s backers orders, which must channel it down into Area Zero, where it’s then utilized to continue the process of making Paradox Pokemon, as long as it is online.

                It’s why it was li tied in making two Raidon’s, not enough energy was available in Area Zero to make more ‘energy producers’, living batteries, closer in material to Terrapagos itself. The ‘energy onsumers’, the ‘lesser’ Paradox Pokémon are easier to make because it uses less Tera Energy to create, or alter, them. This is why I also believe it ‘replicates’ not 3D prints, it clones them, basically.

                it really sounds like youre taking the world "influence" and twisting it to mean "inspired 1:1 likeness"
                the professor reads occultre, goes "huh some of this makes sense" and adds it to his personal headcanon about how a paradox pokemon comes out. because these pokemon are wishes/dreams, that influence comes out in either design or personality depending on the pokemon.
                again
                INFLUENCE
                not
                INSPIRE
                the professsor was basing his opinions off the violet book, occulture just helped some of the ideas form

                stop being moronic

                Or this

                The paradox pokemon were based on the way Occulture described them.
                I don't know why you morons are so stupid.

                That's the thing though, we're not even discussing the base game in a new context, it's literally the same arguments about the same topics that take nothing from the DLC into account at all. Dokutaro influencing the professor? The effects of a wish on the psyche? The possiblity of a dream world? Nope, none of that, we need to argue about if Occulture influenced Turo for the 50th time, or even what the frick the theming for the game is.

                We talk about that all the time to the point where there's a theory that Momo put the idea of time travel in their head. Because one of the current mysteries is why they thought they needed a time machine.
                >The effects of a wish on the psyche?
                Interesting angle but no one who wants to discuss anything seriously wants to actually touch wishing with a ten foot pole both because of imaginationgay popping a blood vessel any time someone brings it up as you can see.
                Plus low tier reality warping is just narratively boring and the fix all button of it just hangs over everthing.

                Okay, so let me get this straight;
                Because the game said the paradoxes were fake by virtue of saying the Scarlet/Violet books were fake and then showed the player that not everything is as it seems by revealing they were real, that means that they're going to be revealed as fake later on which would mean that everything was as it seemed in the first place?

                But that's not about the pokemon in the way you think it is. You think it's saying that their existence in general is weird but what it's really saying is that their APPEARANCE 200 years ago is weird.

                And that's it. That's all the doubt cast on the paradox pokemon in game.
                The Way Home is all about how the paradoxes are real and even confirms a genetic relation with Koraidon and Miraidon and Cyclizar something that would be impossible if they were fakes.

                NTA but his argument isn't that characters change but that the past and future of the characters plays an important role in the story.
                If you look at May/Brendan, everything they have is just all there. You don't know who they were before you moved to littleroot and they don't have a future to aspire to.

                In SV their pasts that you don't have anything to do with and weren't there to see come up as important plot elements that influence their goals.

                It's not that hard to understand.

          Ever heard of the philosopher's stone?
          A treasure of alchemy?
          A stone or or crystal with the power to change elements?
          Sound familiar? Like changing types for instance?

          The markings in Area Zero also have a similarity to the squared circle. Which is a symbol in alchemy representing the stone.

    Imaginationgays remind me of Zodiacgays all too well.
    You dig up so much shit, stretch your theory like a gay man stretches their ass, and make threads like these where you speculate what inspired the devs that couldn’t be bother to test Tera Raid from crashing their game.
    Of course there is one hole you both like to ignore that is actually massive and ultimately disproves the theory.
    For Zodiac theory it was Cyndaquil/Fennekin not aligning with the Zodiac all too well, and for Imagination theory it’s multiple NPCs, important ones too including the professor, and GameFreak themselves Paradox Pokemon are from the past/future.
    Of course you just dismiss this and sweep it under the rug.
    However when Gen 9 came around and showed that Fuecoco did not resemble anything on the Zodiac, it was the end of that theory.
    Seems like history is just repeating itself.

      >for ignoring the obvious evidence in the games
      To this day no one has presented evidence for imagination.
      Time travel has the game's story and several design elements.
      Atlantis has datamining and Paldea's history with different civilizations.
      Alchemy has changing types and stones being a source of immense power
      To top it off none of these things contradict each other.

      Imagination goes against all of them and requires a lot of misinterpretation, ignorance and a general lack of common sense and literary understand to "make sense" hence why no one can post anything in favor of imagination that can't be argued like the other three.

          You know, posting your own caps saying every other theory that isn't imagination is wrong isn't evidence.
          Evidence is something tangible in game or in the data.

          The AI says time travel, that's evidence for time travel.
          Area Zero is named atlantis in the data, that's evidence for an ancient civilization.
          One of the effects of Terapagos' crystals is changing types like a philosopher's stone can change elements.

          We haven't seen a single instance of thought manifestation or wish granting in game or anything remotely close to that, and no, your opinion doesn't count for anything because half the time you guys can't even comprehend basic English.

      Time travel is way too detailed to be a simple red herring. Erasing it from the equation basically rewrites the entire game and even removes motivations and reasons for things working out the way they do.
      Arven's lines at the end definitely wouldn't make sense unless it's time travel because he's alluding to a time paradox.
      Koraidon and Miraidon's names wouldn't make sense.
      Heath having accurate Donphan sketches and pictures wouldn't make sense.

        >Koraidon and Miraidon's names wouldn't make sense.
        the professor thought koraidon/miraidon were from the past/future and named them that way, not realizing the actual truth
        >Heath having accurate Donphan sketches and pictures wouldn't make sense.
        the professor and Occulture were the ones that took inspiration from the Donphan sketches and pictures in the first place. then the professor added the "dinosaur from the past/robot from the future" angle out of their own volition because Heath never mentioned anything about time travel.

          >he's alluding to the fact Indigo Disk will answer the biggest mystery of what exactly happened during Heath's expedition
          Yeah, and it involves a time paradox, the thing that he alludes to when he says
          >Wait, hold on... Isn't my mom's/dad's time machine the whole reason the ancient/future Pokémon ended up here in the first place? This book is from way before she/he made the time machine, but it mentions ancient/future Pokémon.
          He's describing a time loop.

          >and time travel generally not making sense
          People tend to use Arven's line where he says "it's weird" but he also says
          >Course, the whole book is full of unbelievable stories, the Herba Mystica being one of them. But they turned out to be real...
          >And after everything we saw in Area Zero—well, makes it hard to say it's all nonsense, huh?

          >the professor thought koraidon/miraidon were from the past/future and named them that way, not realizing the actual truth
          Anon, this goes beyond the story of the game, those pokemon will always be known as Koraidon and Miraidon. Their names won't change in future appearances.

          >the professor and Occulture were the ones that took inspiration from the Donphan sketches and pictures in the first place
          That's the completely wrong point. If it was a dreams to life deal Heath wouldn't have dreamed up any of them to see or capture on film and they wouldn't have such a uniform theme. Not to mention they heard them before they saw them as it is.

        I won’t disagree it would alter motivations, but as for:
        >Arven's lines at the end definitely wouldn't make sense unless it's time travel because he's alluding to a time paradox.
        Arven isn’t foreshadowing anything, despite both sides that push this narrative. All Arven is stating is that it *should* be impossible for Paradox Pokemon to have existed in the past. Whether it is time travel or not is irrelevant, because it will likely be revealed going forward. But it’s not foreshadowing any planned event is going to occur.

        >Koraidon and Miraidon's names wouldn't make sense.
        This would only be applicable if the Professor didn’t actually believe it was Time Travel, but as it is what they believe is happening, it doesn’t actually matter.
        >Heath having accurate Donphan sketches and pictures wouldn't make sense
        How? This would only be applicable if time travel was the reason for the Paradox Pokemon being in the past, but considering we have other possible methods beyond it, this is also not an issue.
