>>58781797At the risk of repeating myself, it's not the same in APL:
Use Adamant Crystal on Dialga, and it will become Dialga-Origin. Use the same Adamant Crystal on Dialga-Origin again, and it will become Dialga base form.
If Game Freak didn't want to include a Blank Plate, they could have simply done the same thing with all plates.
However, they decided to include a Blank Plate containing the essence of the Normal type, which means it's canon that the Normal-type giant existed and was already killed, and they also engraved an ancient text on it that predates the events of APL. That's the nuance, and it's crucial!
In DP, this doesn't work. Arceus is already Normal-type; the game mechanics mean that adding this plate can't change its type, which is the purpose of the plates.
And that's precisely why it's inaccessible in SV! However, the item is properly coded in the game, so technically it exists.
>no, this pokes a hole in your argument. why does it not exist in the present if it existed in the past?No, that doesn't invalidate my argument. You're looking for contradictions where none exist to defend a dead theory
If you haven't understood, the absence of an item or a Pokémon in one or more games doesn't mean it never existed or that it ceased to exist.
The Plate existed 150 years before DP (and it's even older than the events of APL), which means that its unavailability in a current game doesn't erase the fact that in the past, the Normal-type giant was already killed to create this Plate. That's an established fact; this Plate is part of the lore whether you like it or not.
It's not like Zygardite, which, in the lore, didn't exist before the battle against Ange Hyperogue.
>show me where it says the giants aren't pokemonAre you kidding me? Now you want me to believe that Teraleak never said the giants aren't Pokémon, by showing me a website that doesn't even contain 10% of Teraleak's leaks? Are you that desperate to resort to increasingly outlandish lies?
