>>59043661>As thou walkest onward upon thine own path... Upon thee...and upon this creation where thou now dwellest... I bestow my blessing.>And I bestow upon thee a part of myself. I would walk this world together with thee. Show me how it appeareth in thine eyes."You motherfuckers need to start playing the games AND paying attention to them. The blessing is the Legend plate, the "part of myself" is Arceus' canonical avatar which joins the player after defeating Arceus in Its realm.
>>59045819>>59046386>>59046825The way they present it at the very start of L: A as a giant glowing ball of light, from the human's perspective absolutely SCREAMS "creature operating on a higher plane of existence" never mind that being pop culture shorthand for depicting direct interactions between deities and normal fucking base humans (not demi-gods or other, who can fully comprehend the true forms of their universes' pantheon of Gods). And then you consider the Batman gambit Arceus set up - Tasking Cogita with helping Its Champion, recognising Volo's threat when he shows up, pulling Ingo to Hisui to join the Pearl clan and ultimately guide Its Champion and then dragging the human, who'd stopped some sperg retard's plot to destroy the world as he had a sad, to the land to meet It and prove his worth to It, while stopping some sperg retard's plot to destroy the world as he has a sad as a by-product. You want to believe Arceus can't be omnipotent, grand. But canonically, it is. That's why it trusted the humans it chose to be able to stop the human It did not want to legitimise by appearing to squish him Itself. Because It knew humans working in concert with pokémon can surmount all obstacles they face, just as the Ancient Hero had done to prove his worth to Arceus.
