>>51075830>Your best defense is now saying that there's 2 different ways to store Pokemon?"defense" is a strong word. I'm just following what the official sources say which is what every fandom does.
> Don't you see how retarded that is?No.
>So what, first they shrink and THEN they become data?Don't see the issue. The only way there'd be an issue with that is that pokemon should only be able to do one thing, which means using moves and evolving shouldn't be possible yet it is.
If there's a contradiction please point it out.
> I find it easier to believe that GF just forgot and retconed the shrinking as it's not mentioned again until gen 4 at the earliest, meanwhile Gen1 gives us a line about Pokemon being turned to dataThis makes 0 sense. If shrinking was never a thing and the literal first games say data(assuming they're mutually exclusive which you have to prove) then they can't "retcon the shrinking" as it wouldn't have been there at all.
