>>47396589That's just one of the many discrepancies though and the easy one.
You still have to explain humans with powers, the pokemon themselves, caves being in urbanized areas, warp panels, etc.
>>47396592>Have you seriously never played a videogame? You realize everything is always scaled down to make it actually possible to create, right?Addressed above
>Real animals never existedWho are you quoting?
>OP asks if the old lore explained what pokemon were/came from. This implies there was an old lore regarding what pokemon were. This is not the case.
This is non sequitur to your point but I feel its worth bringing up: whether animals exist in the setting or how much the setting in general is similar to the real world is not related to what pokemon are.
> This is something you can actually discuss while being on-topicYes, as it is on-topic to bring up that the thing that OP assumes changed didn't. I really don't see how its off-topic
>So you're ignoring stuff that Gen 1 actually told us now?No, I'm acknowledging what id did tell us.
>Because you are being off-topic, instead of discussing the pre-retcon canon.What retcon?
>>47396602>Because the early games being made by Gamefreak doesn't change that the franchise changedNo, but it means that liking what happened before was also by GameFreak so you're also a a Game Freak fan if you liked it.
