>>53509475>extra Question relating to Explorers of SkyI have three theories about that:
1) Some shit happened in the past and the gears got taken away from the tower. Then the people who found them didn't have access to the hidden land so they used the guardian spots as a substitute.
2) The gears being in the tower just "fixes damage" to time and can't hold off time paralysis for too long, while having them with the guardians is what sustainably maintains time functioning. This means that some months/years after Explorers' ending Dialga will have to give the gears back to the guardians.
3)
Arceus is a cunt and set up the system in a retarded way because he wanted shit to get fucked and revels in watching Pokémon struggling to save themselves. I imagine that when the future was disappearing he was laughing out loud at everyone dying before realizing "Oh shit, if this timeline disappears I'll disappear too! Better fix this shit!"
