>>55080582Likewise, there is nothing that confirms Arceus actually created the universe or was the first Pokemon.
>According to the legends of Sinnoh, this Pokémon emerged from an egg and shaped all there is in this world.>It is told in mythology that this Pokémon was born before the universe even existed.>It is said to have emerged from an egg in a place where there was nothing, then shaped the world."It is said" "in myth" "in Pokémon. It's part of Sinnoh creation myths. It's like looking at Greek mythology and determining the primordial deities are the creator of the world, without looking at any other mythology or religion.
>but Arceus is super duper strong!And? So are plenty of other Pokemon. Arceus can literally be knocked out and beaten.
>muh PLA!!Not a single thing in that game confirms Arceus created anything. It just proved what we already know: it's worshipped, and it's strong enough to exist beyond space and time.
>b-but Dialga and Palkia could have created a new universe! This is pure speculation on Cyrus's part, in a franchise where people very commonly don't understand the power of legendary Pokemon, and it doesn't really make sense - how could a god of time create the space for a new universe? It also proves nothing for Arceus specifically.
>why would they even make it if it's not the first pokemon?Because it still brought a sense of mystery and intrigue to this franchise, something the games failed at the very next generation and every generation after.
