>>56074254>If it's in the past then how would AZ Floette be in XY?It's not Pokémon Z, you dumb little fuck. I'm sure Game Freak, creators of Eternal Floette's arc, AZ and XY will be able to bullshit up a story from c. 100 years prior to the events of XY that don't include EF or AZ and their re-unification arc (which also precludes it being catchable in-game to boot, not that kids understand why it had a model but wasn't actually handed out, found in the wild or unlocked as a gameplay bonus).
>If it's in the past then why aren't there non-XY megas in XY?If L: A was in the past, why wasn't H. Growlithe et al in BDSP, given we know from SV the species introduced were still extant? They're gonna bullshit up reasons, like they added space-time distortions to L: A to bullshit dinosaurs and polygons into the past. You'll only need one stone and the lore will be you died and they got lost.
