>>56828276>We also don't know the origin point. It's turtles all the way down, literally.You know this is contradictory right? The idea of turtles all the way down is having a world turtle acting as the top most one, riding on another turtle and another and another infinitely. It relies on a starting or end point going "infinitely" forwards or backwards like tracing your lineage backwards from you and I say "infinitely" because eventually you're going to reach a point you can't conceptualise.
Anyway with pokemon were looking at a paradoxical loop, an event causing the event that caused the original event.
Basically the difference between the two is an infinite line and a circle.
If it were an infinite regress in pokemon then you would have to have the first timeline affecting the next and so on with the first timeline being completely different and at the very least we know that the professor wouldn't know Terapagos' name since it was only ever mentioned in two places.
The white book that Briar wrote
And the original manuscript for the SV book that was seemingly passed down within the family since Briar has it so there's no way the professor could have read it, especially since they never met Briar going by this line
>"Descriptions of the Area Zero Underdepths! And—and a record of Terapagos's awakening?! Who is this Briar, to have written such a work?"So there's no way they would have come into contact with the manuscript.
Basically, you were filtered, hard.
