>>55424909I don't know how anything I said contradicts that statement.
>Technically every copy of a game is in its own world in a way, which is why the Link Cable was called a portal to another world in Gen 1Do you have any evidence of this? Especially in the Japanese script, since titles before BW took a few more liberties with that sort of thing. As a matter of fact the only evidence I have for every save being it's own universe happens to come from exactly the BW version of the Entralink, and while it's pretty explicit it also isn't corroborated by any other game in the series including B2W2 so I don't really know for sure if it's true.
>>55424928Again, I don't know why the fuck you're dragging me into this, I agreed with you (including your point on BW) but given the context clues I'm pretty sure the Gen 7 titles at least have a similar reason. For BW there's not just the obvious visual differences, there's also an entire sidequest about it. On the other hand, the entire plot of the Gen 7 titles are about different universes, and given which ones we see it's not hard to imagine different versions are different universes (the Rainbow Rocket versions of Archie and Maxie definitely imply it). In fact, given that there are multiple versions of the game universes that have bad ends that seem similar to the original universes, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that there's probably more than one iteration of each version. How many, I dunno, somewhere between exactly what we see and infinite, which isn't great evidence of anything aside from multiple universes.
>>55424935That's very wrong, ORAS is the only outlier outside of LGPE (and given both were written by a different writer than usual that might be the cause).
