>>55088519>Heath goes to area zero>finds ancient/future pokemon>records them in his book>professor reads book>gets inspired>makes time machine to bring in ancient/future pokemon to present dayI thought the paradox was that, assuming Heath wasn't just making shit up, these pokemon somehow existed in the crater before the person and time machine that supposedly brought them there in the first place. A lost world scenario might explain the presence of ancient pokemon, but not future pokemon. Maybe there was an error in the time machine placing the pokemon in Heath's time, creating a stable time loop where the time machine set events in motion to create itself, but that's A. just speculation and B. a stable time loop is itself a paradox, being a recurrent series of events with no starting point. The reason could just be "terapagos accidentally isekai'd a bunch of pokemon during an especially large crystalline bowel movement" but that's not very narratively satisfying and ultimately just leaves more questions than answers.
