>>58389879>400 years is more than 100 yearsNah spirit tomb was at least 500 years before PLA, even if you're generous PLA has to take place 250 years before the game and Volo is even older since we know he was born before the start of the game.
>The Ainu and Yamato did not go extinct prior to Meiji EraThe Yamato had by 1860 Meiji fully colonized much of Hokkaido and removed the Ainu peoples or integrated them into Yamato living. On top of the fact that diamond and pearl clans are even practicing their cultures of worshipping Dialga and palkia, it's obvious this isn't a 1 to 1 historical recreation but on top of that it's obvious it takes place somewhere before Meiji. Probably towards the tail end back when the Yamato were still doing trade with the Ainu similar to how Galaxy rangers are in this era.
>Cameras and other shitIrrelevant gaijin tech, none of the native Ainu based tribes use that shit. They don't even use pokeballs. Also Cameras have existed since the early 1800s.
You're also ignoring what I said about Cogita being an immortal, as well as Volo literally summoning and allying with giratina somehow. You have to be a retarded newfag to discount this, it's most likely he ditched the arceus getup to blend in with society and matches up perfectly with him blending in with the ginkgo guild.
