>>53654767>1. Does the Machine create Paradox Pokémon?Probably, the professor wants a Paradox Pokemon summoning machine, and the plot is shutting about shutting it off, so it stands to reason the machine, running off of tera crystals and the commands the original professor gave it, are what make the Pokemon. Whether or not Terapagos is doing this actively, or if you can just use the crystals independent of Terapagos' will has yet to be determined.
>2. Which can first, the Machine or Terapagos?Terapagos.
>3. Is Terapagos only possible, when one of the little Gem turtles, fuse with the Indigo Disk No way to know this, whether or not the gem turtles are part of Terapagos like Zygarde cells, Terapagos itself, or something else. It's worth noting that as said in
>>53653128 and
>>53653176, we can see little eyes in every single tera crown, meaning it's more likely this is a Zygarde cell situation and a bunch of little turtles pop in whenever people use the tera power and/or there's one little turtle in every Tera Orb.
>4. How is Terapagos connected to Herba Mystica?It's power affects the local flora and gives you plants that do whatever the person who eats it wants.
>5. Isn’t Ogerpon more likely to be the cause and creator of Herba Mystica?Ogerpon isn't even found in Paldea, we have no idea what relation it has to Area Zero or Terapagos.
>If it is Terapagos creating them, why?If we knew this there'd be no reason for these threads.
It is worth noting that Terapagos' influence is getting stronger though.
>Tera Pokemon discovered 140 years ago>their power fades when taken out of the crater>current day not only are random Pokemon with tera power all over paldea, but also tera raid dens where stupidly powerful Pokemon hang out at are all over the region>after the events of the story they get even strongerMy personal headcanon is Terapagos is some Lavos type deal and wants to spread his crystals all over Paldea for whatever reason, but this is 100% speculation.
