The ‘Occult’ in Occulture, is simply a smokescreen to obscure the truth of Paradox Pokémon, and keep people from looking too close. The entries of these magazines are not Paradoxes’ actual origins in-universe, but perhaps they are the inspiration by Gamefreak for their designs.
In rejecting these articles as ‘fabrications’, it falsely reinforces the idea of the Time Machine, time travel, and the A.I. Professor’s, unverifiable mind you, explanations of the goings on in Area Zero, both past and present, and frames them as being ‘truthful’ statements. This is not the case, as arguments can be made that can be equally refuted from other views.
The only counter argument that seems stable, is Arven’s deduction that the Time Machine could not have existed for Heath to have seen Paradox Pokémon, and the fact the ‘Imaginary’ entries in Heath’s book look nothing like the ‘realized’ counterparts (now further reinforced by the existence of more than one). A simple argument against this is that the Professor initiated a ‘Bootstrap’ Paradox by inserting Pokémon into the past from the present, but logical thinking could also argue that these Pokémon inserted into the past would be locked in modern Pokeball’s, unless in some method they could destroy them from the inside. This does not seem logical to me, as the specific Pokeball’s seen to have captured them are also Master Ball’s, which have 100% catch rate, and likely are the strongest Pokeball’s that prevent break outs. Thank you to anyone who actually bothered to read this whole thing, than just reply.
