>>51059193And you're retarded. An IP lives or dies by the consistency it shows and the Pokédex has a 100% record on being correct, meaning we can infer EVERYTHING in it is correct.
But sure, Hunter J still lives as they didn't show a body, despite ultimately showing the closest thing to an antagonist's death in any media across ALL its outlets (Even Koga's Arbok got better, for fuck's sake, suppose you think Gio didn't kill those two Magmar, as there was no body and they just forgot them till now though, huh?)
Sorry shitter, they hold themselves to the canon, which means they hold themselves to what they write in the Pokédex. That they have a team of people working with TPC/TPCi to ensure the marketing adheres to what they're writing kinda discredits any argument you thought you had. When they themselves hold it as canon, your mental spergings are irrelevant. You keep forgetting this shit's bigger than any single IP on the planet. they're not beholden to the tropes the rest need to follow, they're kinda above that as a cultural institution.
