>>36199935I remember that guy. He was obviously referencing version changes without breaking the fourth wall. Actually pretty clever move from Gamefreak.
>>36199994My point was (and still is) that trying to explain gameplay changes in Pokemon world is meaningless because there are too many of them and Gamefreak clearly doesn't care about the continuity. You pointing out that remakes "change and adapt the story to new mechanics" or that "stories are a little bit different depending on the version" supports this notion.
Basically, Pokemon series is being retconned with every new game and trying to explain it with "multiple universes" is just stupid.
Imagine trying to explain why Ash is 10 years old all the time. There is no logical reason so don't think about it.
>Zinnia literally talks about it in ORASShe's not a professor, she has no evidence for her claims and she sounds like a loony most of the time. Also, she was shown to be wrong about Rayquaza and almost ended Hoenn's existence because of that.
And honesty... Delta Episode felt like a badly written fanfic. But that's my opinion.
