>>31139333>He doesn't NEED to mentionSo that means there's no proof. You're just saying it should be this way, without any proof.
>he's only there BECAUSE of himThe event can play out even without the protagonist. Just like every postgame event.
>"Brendan never caught Rayquaza because it happens after the credits roll and they never bring it up in SM, lol"But that's not optional. You're required to do this. It's part of the story that you MUST complete to unlock the optional content. There's a difference here.
>The example I gave did not.Because they're never even brought up. They're treated as if they NEVER HAPPENED. In the 20 years, you would think they'd reference the protagonists' involvement in the postgame at least ONCE.
Just as writing this, I realized they did reference it once, because you could not find Mewtwo in GSC, implying Red caught it. But it was retconned in HGSS, so it really doesn't matter now.
>The two you gave were pure fan service given to people who wanted past legendaries and the one I gave was a major eventHow do you distinguish between the two? What are the criteria? I'd say finding a Legendary is a pretty major event.
>This last one is just a bad argument. It's in the game so it's part of the game.You can catch Kyurem in BW and fuck up everything that happens in BW2. That's also something in the game, but optional. Why is that event non-canon, but every other is canon?
The only argument you're presenting here is "It MUST be canon", without any proof or reasoning behind it other than it being a "Major event".
