>>53537808>but it also doesn't work right some of the time for arbitrary reasons but happens in a specific way to explain Heath's expedition and the Titan Paradoxmon (a big fucking stretch).The major thing with this is that there isn't a defined theory and I think a lot of people misconstrue and add them together as a single theory, which makes it sound more complicated than it is. It's implied by the game that only pokeballs have traveled through the machine, and we don't actually know how fast time travel actually is. Is it instant? Is it a set interval? What would happen if something enters the machine and it cuts off during? Do they blink there in an instant, or does it disrupt the stream/wormhole/whatever bridge is being opened for them to cross time.
We can at least surmise it's not instant as it drops a pokeball into the AIs hand at the beginning of your battle and we never see the starting point of it. It's not as big of an assumption that something may have gone wrong if power cuts off as the AI enters the machine. People that say "well it's never done that before" are arguing in bad faith, because the conversation isn't that the time machine is operating, it's that what happens when it's shut off when in use.
example: what happens to your save data if you turn off your console while mid save? It will corrupt 99% of the time because it didn't finish the process. It's the same exact concept.
