>>57079097>Paradoxes are the professors' invention based on the violet/scarlet book,That's not correct at all. In fact it proves that Paradoxes exist no matter what the professor does. I'm curious, why did you think they're their invention?
>in the dlc Briar wants to study area zero and the responsible for the teraBriar already knows what's responsible for Terastal, considering that she managed to make it possible in the Terarium with that orb at the top. Briar's goal was to proof that her ancestor, Heath, didn't lie in his book. She did so successfully by finding Terapagos at the bottom of Area Zero and wrote the White Book as proof.
>then there's kieran's entire outburstKieran suffers from severe self-worth issues. I know retards here say how he's a cuck, but his entire story has actually very little to do with Ogerpon. He just projects his ideal self on it, because he wants to be strong, self-reliant and fearless. That's why he completely fixates on the MC, especially after learning the truth about Ogerpon (perhaps realising that it wasn't fearless). He says it all during his rant before Terapagos awakens: the MC has everything Kieran ever wanted. They are strong, they have lots of friends, they can go everywhere they want to, etc. He's especially mad at Carmine for befriending the MC as she is partially responsible for Kieran's shortcomings through her overprotective nature. But then he realizes that the MC's success doesn't come from their strength, but their kindness. Which is why he stops being so obsessed about getting stronger.
>scene at the crystal pool with the professor from another timelineTons of idiots/contrarians here think that it's a timeloop/grandfather paradox, so give yourself some credit. Anyway, yes, the scene exists to show the player that there are multiple timelines, and that that may explain the origin of paradoxes. It also serves as a potential happy ending for Arven, even if it's in another timeline, as a sort of closure.
