>>49915810>BW2 acknowledged version differences by way of a father and son duo in a bit of side content working a Time Machine, yesNo, it did so in the battery cell subquest in original Bw. play the games.
>. That doesn't work very well as a metric for the introduction of multiverses It does, it does the same as ORAS, just mention it as a background thing. You thing ORAS is bigger because the retarded fanbase made it a big deal.
> unless you refuse to acknowledge version differences right from the beginningThose were never explained as parallel worlds.
> the Time Capsule in Gen 2That'd be time travel, a completely different thing. You'd understand this if you understood what a multiverse is.
>which isn't evidently meant to be something of note beyond serving the thematic dichotomy the BW games explored.That has been the case for every(actual) mention of the multiverse. All of them were to play into the themes of the respective game.
BW used it for the paralel between both games
ORAS used it to nod to the games that its a remake from.
SM, aside from the ultra wormhole plot, uses it for the day/night paralel the versions had. USUM was the same.
You could argue the wormholes in CT are an exception. Though that was even smaller than BW/ORAS and just an excuse to have UBs available.
Then there's the possibility that PLA is a different universe, but Arceus does mention in the same dialogue about how he brought you beyond time and space so it ties into the themes of Sinnoh too.
>Obviously, however, those aren't the kinds of things people are referring to when they talk about the multiverseThis is retarded to bring up as most people in this fanbase have no idea what a multiverse is and just repeat what poketubers tell them to say instead of playing the games reading the text, which what you, and everyone, should do before discussion.
