Timetravelfags are sheep. This argument also works for Violet too, Pokemon are constantly evolving creatures, they wouldn't just become robots. And if they're inorganic, all artificial Pokemon that currently exist in the series are already fully passible as living beings (aside from the Porygons which are obsolete in universe, and Magearna, which is 500+ years old), why the fuck would people in the future be obsessed with slapping shitty LED lights on everything? They look like a child's idea of what robots would look be, almost is if that's exactly what they are.
Forget the mile long list of issues and inconsistencies with the time machine theory, right down to the game itself saying it makes no sense, Paradox Pokemon go against the the design philosophies of the existing fossil and artificial Pokemon, which is one of the very few things this series has been consistent about since RBY.
