>>31581585I puzzle at your divinity, and have come to a hypothesis.
In the beginning (Of Diamond and Pearl) you were a living myth. There was no limit to what you could do, you were God, "The Original One"
Then, I saw you for the first time after playing my sharked in Azure Flute. Needless to say I was hyped, but also disappointed. I don't know what I was expecting, but something resembling a goat was not it. Regardless, I was excited, caught you with the masterball I never used, and marveled at your stats. Of course, I excused those stats of yours that were not the highest out of all of my Pokemon. Infernape had higher Speed than you because he was higher leveled, and Palkia, well yes, it was a few levels under you, but I had raised it from level 47, of course its stats were higher. Those "EVS and IVS" I was beginning to hear about must explain it
Now, I think less of you. I now know you are simply inferior to other, greater beings who do not boast of their power as much. I have wondered at this. What happened?
I have a theory.
In particle physics, there is a known phenomenon that occurs. Photons behave differently if a human is observing them. Human observation forces those particles to conform to physics as we observe them. Our eye forces a photon, which behaves as neither a particle nor a wave on its own, to conform and behave like one of the two. Our observation strips the photon of the ability to act as it would, and instead be contained by our reality.
So, Arceus, my hypothesis is as such. Your power has diminished not because I have grown up and learned more; your power has diminished because I have observed you. When you were spoken of in myth, you were omnipotent. When I gazed upon you, you became lesser than other beings I held in higher esteem. The longer I look upon you, the more you decay.
You call yourself God, and Omnipotent. But I see not infinite possibility. My gaze has reduced you to one possible referent. And I find it wanting.
