>>55972124Are you aware that even if we start from the postulate that it is the professor from another timeline, that absolutely does not solve the problem?
We always have a professor who has not completed his research, who has not been able to carry out experiments, tests and observations. Which doesn't change the fact that he is no more credible source than the AI, which achieved and completed all of these things.
As for what the AI is saying, this is definitely our timeline. And unlike the professor at the lake who has not yet received the book to complete his research, the AI has no reason to make mistakes.
The first sentence expressed on this subject is: "Some of life-forms that you see now residing within Area Zero... are ancient Pokemon that lived in distant past long lost to us."
This sentence sets the scene as soon as the protagonists ask questions about what these creatures are. It's pretty clear that Paradox Pokemon existed in our past.
When he mentions "different point of the timeline", he is talking about our times, because he clearly specifies this at the end of the sentence "...and it can then draw them back here to the present."
If this was another timeline, not only would he have already clarified that, but he would have mentioned bringing them back to our world/timeline, NOT the present.
So no, the AI's proposals are not really ambiguous. If that were the case, we would have been discussing a story of alternative timelines and not the power of imagination that comes out of nowhere. The truth is just that it pisses off part of the community that in the future, Pokemon become robots and the existence of legendary beasts because people remain stuck on a theory with the incident of the towers in Johto.
