>>53235010>You can answer that you obviously know what a Pokemon is though.The player is from our world. They might or might not know.
>You have yet to explain how this is any different from Anabel, Mohn, or IngoWe saw Ingo's amnesia. Completely different to the kind you suggested.
>Or how Arceus summoning some complete rando (not even from the world of Pokemon) isn't equally or more forced.Not really, it's just your classic isekai plot. PMD's done it a few times.
>Which is different from the player remembering that contests and gyms are a thing at the end of the game how?If Ingo can remember important things, the player should be able to remember the red chain, and Giratina.
>Is it?Yes.
>An anon already posted promotional material that matches thisAt best it's circumstantial. It obviously just says you and Akari or Rei because you can choose the name of the protagonist.
>The quest for Manaphy...Doesn't prove anything. It's just a quest. Tracks with the player being from our world.
>Final Daybreak cutscene, it's ingame dialogue.Again, tracks with the player being from our world.
>Ingame connection that is different from normal "have save data" content.Not really, it's just an extra set instead of the old women giving you Jirachi and Mew.
>Datamined and verifiable by easily accessible videos and images.We will never know what it means. At best for you like you say, "it means they WERE supposed to be Dawn/Lucas at some point.", but you can interpret that as "they changed their minds and definitely aren't Lucas or Dawn". Or it could have even been the remnants of the Sinnoh remake that BDSP could have been.
