>said so yourselfDarkrai is a justification for it, but he's not in the main story proper, he's a footnote you fight in the postgame at the climax of an entirely different conflict. You would think the reason the Time Gears aren't in the right spot would be a huge plot point that demands an answer immediately, but no. It's like the writers wrote the story, realized "oh, shit, a massive plothole" and wrote in some generic super evil guy with no motives other than "I'm evil" in to tie up that loose end.
And Darkrai taking the gears doesn't magically make everything okay, even. So, Darkrai took the gears, went to areas where time was presumably running normally, and then somehow the time gears got 'linked' to that area and removing them causes freezing? How does that work? Assuming Darkrai placed the gears in those areas before the pixies got there (who, by the way, randomly think the gears should be in those areas) then why did Grovyle time travel to when those areas were well populated and had the pixies defending them and the Tower was also on the brink of collapse? Why didn't Darkrai just steal the Gears and retreat somewhere no one would ever find him, as nobody seemed to care the Time Gears were missing? On that note, wait a minute, why DIDN'T Dialga care that the Time Gears were missing for so long that he became glowing monster thing?
Just an utter clusterfuck.
>knowing it would succeedLiterally pure headcanon.
>and can't finesse to that extentThis is the literal god of time, plus he has more lucid Pokemon agents to do his bidding. Nothing about him even implies he's a brute as Primal Dialga, even.
>The gods can brute force through it>?When Grovyle and Dusknoir go through the time portal in the Hidden Land, the protagonists have in the past fixed the Tower. There shouldn't be ANY future period to return to and they would've gotten oblivion'd already.
