>>55032468Essentially both the Paradox Book and Occulture are equally important for different reasons, even if the information in the Occulture is bogus and made up. Without the Paradox Book, the Occulture isn't made and Turo/Sada doesn't become a Professor. Without the Occulture articles, the Professor doesn't build a time machine. If the Professor doesn't find the Paradox Pokemon, the Paradox Book is never written.
They discover these Pokemon because it was predetermined to happen. Time isn't linear in this game, it's happening all at once. What we're missing is the event Heath described in the book with information being passed on. There is no clear origin point in this loop of which event occurs first for them to be discovered. This is why they're paradoxical.
Like I said I'm more than happy with whatever conclusion we get as long as the story is good. I appreciate the ones in these threads that were actually open to discussions rather than shit flinging.
