how do we reconcile the time travel plot holes now? terapagos transported heath and his entire expedition team to another timeline and no one noticed? what about the paradox beasts? this shit still makes no sense and that scene at the lake doesnt actually answer anything, it just shows the professor had no basis for thinking the raidon was an ancient/future pokemon other than just guessing on the spot.
the lake dialog leads me to two possiblities
1. the time machine is more like an ultra wormhole machine and is going to an alternate world where all pokemon are dinosaurs or robots
or
2. the professor couldnt get anything done because he didnt know what to look for, as soon as he made up the whole "oh im in the distant future!" thing it started working because then the dream/wish/whatever the fuck powers terapagos has kicked in
both answers are unsatisfying and this whole debate has been a huge waste of time, the professor is fucking retarded for thinking he went to the far, far future when he only jumped ahead maybe 10 years tops, and honestly you could even argue that we just see a fucking ghost.
they don't explain anything else about area zero like the metal tablet, crop circle or anything. Tera crystals just do whatever the fuck anyone wants them to do with no explanation, Terapagos had literally no lore or character and is upstaged by fucking Ogerpon as a legendary, there still plotholes for whatever explanation you want and no one can really reconcile them either.
timefags lost, imaginationfags lost, lorefags lost, this shit sucks.
