>>50043917These are not so much "theories" as they are basic elaborations of common sense. There is really nothing to theorize about Tobias. There is no plausible alternative as to what happened to him. Either he participated in the Elite Four challenge and was soundly defeated, or he refrained to hone his skills, content with mediocrity, frightened by the challenge ahead.
A "theory" as you were to call it would look like this;
>Why didn't Tobias ever show up again, man? Why was he never alluded to in later series, guys?>Well shucks, maybe he was a Faller, and he fell through time, because Arceus needed him, because he was so super duper strong, and his skills were so important, and, and, and, and, everyone forgot him when he disappeared.When the reality of the situation is that he served his utility in the story, and was retired. There's a saying in the world of professional writing; characters are doing whatever you last saw them doing. We last saw Tobias challenging the League. There's only one of two ways that ends, and in one of those, Cynthia can't still be the Champion, but as has been explained to you, many times, she is.
Hopefully you will take this lesson and go forward and prosper, and be a little bit less retarded in the future, and if you can do those things, I will meet you well, and say again to you, as you have to me: I have no problem with you anon, good post!
