>>54504408>Irrelevant argumentHardly. Whether there's 20 or 200 that same argument could be used
>only 200? Why was it just those and not paradox ditto?It's an argument that will always exist because there's no logical answer other than gameplay limitations. Even now you're using it as an argument despite the fact that they're adding six more that were never mentioned in the book or Occulture.
>>resembles a sketch made by a member of the Area Zero Expedition in the Scarlet BookThe only problem with that is that they have no resemblance to the sketches having features unique to themselves, this is more obvious with the paradox beasts.
It's also worth noting that they completely dripped that angle for Raikou and Cobalion.
>Which the game already confirms the sketch is fake:That's the way you're interpreting it now, with the new information, the existence of the paradox swords and beasts you can say the artist was inspired by them combining aspects into the sketch rather than the other way around and it still works perfectly.
>They weren’t pulled through by any Time MachineYes they were. This is why I specifically said "series of events"
You're seeing it as
>paradox appear in the past > written into the book > inspires professor > time machine built > paradoxes pulled throughWhen it's non linear. We know the paradoxes can only appear via a time machine making it
>paradoxes pulled through > sent 200 years ago > appear in the past > written into the book > inspires professor > time machine built > paradoxes pulled throughThis is a bootstrap paradox with no beginning or end and not only is it what the pokemon themselves refer to but what Arven alludes to at the end.
