>>55550492>Of course it would tell us the same thing they believed to be true.And we have no reason to question their version of the story. I ask again, if it were imagination or timelines, why would the professor radically pivot to time travel as their origin?
>localizationI agree with you here, as it's pretty inconsistent. If we just look at the English one, it seems to me that the younger professor was only PLANNING to get pokemon from other timelines, but upon actually succeeding we only see them refer to them as past/future mons and nothing else, so they clearly pivoted. But even in the Jap version it's pretty weird how the entire franchise still calls them ancient and future pokemon in the rest of the AI professor's dialogue. I think Gamefreak themselves muddies the two heavily, going hand in hand with "every save game is it's own slightly different timeline" shit they've been pulling. It's like in the Opelucid Time Machine, there they are both used interchangeably.
>heath was discreditedI'm not saying this is true, but the whole twist is that he WAS confirmed to be correct. There isn't some third twist on top of that else the game would have led you to it. This just mirrors shit like Socrates, Copernicus, Galileo, and Einstein (to a lesser extent) whose works were only widely accepted well after their death, but were correct nonetheless. The only difference is that they applied that to a Jules Verne style expedition instead.
