>>52987593>Anon, that should make you think it ISN'T because Occulture is just bullshit.But that's just it. Let me compare Pheromosa's Dex entry with Roaring Moon for a sec since they're both special version exclusive pokemon:
Pheromosa
>Sun: One of the dangerous Ultra Beasts, it has been spotted running across the land at terrific speeds.>Moon: One of the Ultra Beasts. It refuses to touch anything, perhaps because it senses some uncleanness in this world.Roaring Moon
>Scarlet: It is possible that this is the creature listed as Roaring Moon in an expedition journal that still holds many mysteries.>Violet: According to an article in a dubious magazine, this Pokémon has some connection to a phenomenon that occurs in a certain region.You can see with Pheromosa that while it is very special, there is atleast some factual information about what Pheromosa is and what its like, a fast clean freak cockroach creature. And then with Roaring Moon it doesn't say jack shit about what it is or what it does, and Violet's only info on the thing comes from a "dubious magazine". There's no reason why they'd pussyfoot around with the pokemon from the past or the future when they have done even more outlandish pokemon. We are told straightforward that there are alien pokemon, fossil pokemon, dead pokemon, godly pokemon, time & space pokemon, and so on, but all of the sudden they put time travel into question? Especially when they did time travel in another game atleast 2 decades ago?
