>>56722885No, that's EXACTLY what it means, you drooling retard, because it doubles as a reference to Gen 1 lore on the series regarding the discovery of pokémon's ability to shrink and the subsequent creation of the pokéball (stated to happen in 1925 after an elderly scientist overdosed a Primape and it shrank and hid in his glasses case).
They don't *want* to go into all the myths and lore, unless they're going to retcon shit they'd laid down in the early days (and given they've recently been re-contextualising all the early lore, scant chance that happens). And given the aim of any Legends game will most likely be "meet all the regions pokemon), it's doubtful we're going to see the beasts as anything but their legendary visages.
