>>34097362This is the Problem with UBs and this franchise. They might still be fun games to play, but as a writer I crave narrative context. I just feel like we're entering these vague power level mythos trails now. XY cut it real close, and were lucky to have the life-death-balance theme going for them, because why wouldn't creatures that govern time and space (DP) also govern life and death?
Reshiram and Zekrom REPRESENTED hopes and truth or whatever it was, but in reality were just fragments of whatever the hell that original dragon was meant to be with kyurem. And even then, what was that original dragon?
Pokemon lore, I'm starting to think, is just "shut up and play pretend and sit in awe of these increasingly abstract concepts and the monsters that derive power and weight through them"
