>>52541702it's on a card and in 3 different manga.
here's the thing. it seemingly only exists in certain timelines. it's in GSC. it's not in HGSS, not even replaced with anything. Instead they put in pal park. They could have just made the time capsule only migrate forward instead of trade. Or even made it the place to go for pokewalker. They specifically chose not to, and in fact to remove that floor of the pokemon centers altogether.
And then in BW poketransfer, and kalos poketransporter, those are explicitly one way and could have been time capsules. But still weren't.
But now, they've made a time machine part of the plot. So it's not that they've removed the idea from canon altogether.
It's just conspicuously not in HGSS, or any other game set at that time period or later, that's not RBY-GSC.
Like it hadn't been invented in those timelines.
