>>49931552>it could be further backIt cant be any further back than the creation of the pokéball anon. Given Legends is set about 100 years in the past (so 1920's) and THAT lines up with the establishment of the discovery of pokémon shrinking when weakened from Tajiri, we're kind of on a hard time exclusion (Laventon even remaks how pokéballs are a recent invention). They're not going to retcon Tajri when they just reiterated his lore for he younger generations. Then we get to the sticky wicket of getting the MC back to the past, without it being a wholesale rip-off of Legends (which again was written to follow on from what DPPt/BDSP did by having the MC be an older version of the one who stopped Cyrus sent back to the past to stop a similar plot) or abusing a mythical unrelated to the region, except in one specific circumstance.
YOU cunts may ignore their lore to sperg about your kiddy fantasies (can't think of a less interesting subject than "how the dwagon turned itself to two"), I'm too long in the tooth and too versed in their thought process to fall into that trap. I look forward to the next experimental game they make in the series, I doubt it's going to be titled "Legends", experiments seem to only inform a small amount of the next Gen, rather than mandate a paradigm shift to accommodate them.
