>>52408591They kinda had a point though? I don’t remember the game explaining it like this though. It literally states that they’re catching Pokémon from the past/future.
The paradox is because something from the past/future shouldn’t exist in the present. Paradoxes strictly speaking are loopholes like fucking your grandma in the past. Without fucking your grandma you would never exist, no matter how much you wouldn’t want to fuck your grandma you would be destined to loophole back and fuck her and that’s your timeline for eternity. The same thing is happening here, a future Pokémon brought back to the present could cause the evolution of present Pokémon where scientists start making them more cybernetic. Without that one future Pokémon the development may never be set in motion, yet will always have to have happened for the future variants to exist. Furthermore you would be able to grab the same Pokémon from the future infinite amounts of times.
These are paradoxes, and anything messing with time will always be a paradox because the events of the past have to follow a strict timeline that leads to the point where the “present” intercepts with the future.
This anon was right, past time travel was redundant because of fossil revival. But only if fossils couldn’t be preserved for that long of time.
