>>39347283The burden of proof is on you to prove it isn't canon, not me to prove it is. It's in the game, it's up to you to prove it doesn't count, and by virtue half the recruitable Pokemon don't exist, why? Epilogue only doesn't equate to noncanon, regardless if plat relevance. Because as said, those Pokemon are from past games, past games where said things were confirmed true.
There's more past Pokemon other than Ninetales. Handwaving the fact it's clearly the same ninetales, other Pokemon you recruit make mention of past player Pokemon, of which were humans, such as grovyles partner.
If it was ONLY ninetales yeah you'd have a point, but it isn't.
Despite that, the fact other Pokemon can be recruited, and those Pokemon are from said past games that make mention of past events, it means those events happened, which in turns means those games happened and everything in said game.
I'm aware of what mew said, that doesn't mean humans didn't exist prior to that.
You're right, humans don't exist now in pmd, I'm not gonna debate that, the last natural human was the future human from explorers. nobody knows said protagonists were humans minus a select handful, and you can recruit said handful in spmd, of which some mention that protagonist. At no point was the fact the protagonists were humans made widespread, in fact it was actually kept secret in some cases by those who did know, of course mawile wouldn't know if a small handful decided to keep it secret, mawile would only know those humans existed if it was widespread.
Ninetales is trustworthy, ninetales doesn't exactly lie unless there's a good reason, she's hardass but not evil or malicious.
Man, it goes beyond Easter eggs when every single recruitable Pokemon is a pre established character minus a few filler mons and entire continents that are explicitly stated to be those from past games are in.
Actually, some of the friend bases in rescue team were stated to be remnants of humanity.
