>>51155692>Paradox Direct ancestor/descendant species of Pokémon displaced in time. Notably they are different species to their relatives and aren’t forms. Named so because their existence in the present is paradoxical. Different from Hisuians as they’re offshoots and GameFreak could feasibly play a rediscovery route with them and different from fossils as they are whole and unedited by restoration.
The fan term is used it encapsulates past and future as well as their circumstances.
>Convergent Formerly known as regional fakes. The entire thing is pulled from Khu’s ass. There may be several Pokémon based on older ones, but it doesn’t seem to be a public-facing term. These Pokémon are said to resemble their counterparts but are totally separate Pokémon. We don’t know if this is more of a Pikaclone or a Unova level of similarity though.
