>>54012244>I don't have the champion your sourceNo no no, that's not how these debates work at all. I've presented my evidence and possibility, and you've suggested it's not the only one, and on top of that gave the claim that my possibility is potentially not even valid. Now you have to present counter-possibilities, or your claims of a counter-possibility fall flat.
>If we didn't have multiple back an forth where you either contradict yourself or outright defend the validity of theories as proof then I might agree with thisLet's look at my very first post, shall we?
>It's because people will always be trying to piece together the lore, no matter how convoluted it ends up as.>Also, in fairness to them, Super Smash Brothers Melee was (until that one BW anime episode which shows that Dragonite was shrunken down) the only English source we had on the matterTurns out BW wasn't the first one, there was a Kanto arc episode featuring Psyduck in one too, but Hypno's Naptime gets mentioned like once every two years at most, and I think the last Kanto episode I ever watched was Tower of Terror.
>suggested Pokemon digitization.At no point have I ever said that it was concrete, only that it was a mere suggestion, and then I relied on the many theories crafted in the 2000s which came to this conclusion with this as its evidence to defend its validity as a source. The ad populum argument would've worked, however I then went on to state that
>Side games and spinoffs which talk about main game lore tend to be considered sources of lore for those main games, even if they're not directly related.This argument right here provides a pretty much perfect defense against ad populum, because spinoffs and side games both have to deal with corporate to keep things in line. You don't have Charizard being an ice type, or Pokemon having 8 moves or anything in any of the spin off and side games(except Conquest but Conquest was weird.)
