Ginkgo Guild specifically was, iirc, just made of members from both the other clans into their own independent business.Has anyone talked about volo's group's arrival to hisui? It's interesting With the crushed boats and the ghost form of a boat visible in the mist only inside the violet dome that spawns magnemite evo line in pla. Plus the fact that they don't have a HQ in the region. It may be related to thundurus causing storms at the hisuian sea
I don't think the amount of content will necessitate it being in April 2024Also, About the paradoxes, I am convinced they are the copy of real creatures only encounterable in the large part of area zero. For example, iron treads in the violet book is different than iron treads ingame. Feet aren't the same, tusks are a bit different and most of all it is in a forest, while we only have grass and caves in the explorable part of area zero. Also, I think that the gen9 Just started and that
-Or dlc2 brings a lot of lot of content, in which case it won't drop before April 2024, or more dlc are coming, in which case we'd get the "south of kalos" part of the map, altho gen6 remake are not coming before gen12 imo. Also, maybe we'll get some gen2 remakes this gen, with paradox suicune and entei and raikou bring in the plot, or we get a legend game in johto and we get to see which are the original three beasts that got the sane idea of staying in a tower burning. But i do think that dlc2 is bringing a lot in pladean scenario and therefore they'll drop in 2024
New Conspiracy theory: There were Jungles in Area Zero but they died out into the open plains/crags because the Paradoxes disrupted the Crater's contained Ecosystem (given regardless of their "real" origin they're obviously Alien to Paldea with how the timelines line up). Slither Wing for example showing up along the top might have overfed on foliage or put too much stress on trees ala the Spotted Lanternfly problem in the US, not to mention just plain physical damage risk from their more aggressive behavior and competing for territory. Indirect effects could also include things like Great Tusk/Iron Treads forcing Pokemon from the Depths to the upper areas and turning THEM into unsustainable species there.I think the jungles and such, are probably still meant to be there but for gameplay purposes we just don't see it as part of the crater's environment. Sort of like how presumably any given region has more towns, roads, forests, people, etc. The exaggerated proportions of Great Tusk/Iron Treads can also just be in-universe artistic interpretation from their breif encounters (or, depending on how cynically you want to go, in-universe stuff they made up )
iirc Heath's drawings of the main crater mostly align with what we see in the gameNew Conspiracy theory: There were Jungles in Area Zero but they died out into the open plains/crags because the Paradoxes disrupted the Crater's contained Ecosystem (given regardless of their "real" origin they're obviously Alien to Paldea with how the timelines line up).

That's not a bad idea (if nothing else, Herba Mystica can cause changes with prolonged exposure, surely so should terastalization...Kitakami even kind of plays with the idea), though it does bring up the question of why the other species in Area Zero are fine after all this time, why the Paradoxes seemingly stopped being around after Heath's investigation, why the Violet paradoxes turn into robots...Another idea I have (definitely not original but I didn't get it from elsewhere at least): What if the Paradox Pokemon are just the result of prolonged exposure to Terastal Energy? Most of them bear a superficial-at-least resemblance to their original incarnations and always share one of their typings, sort of like mutations diverging into another species. Area Zero is rich with Terastal energy to the point of auto-recharging your Tera Orb, so Pokemon exposed to it in the depths where the Crystals are most plentiful may essentially be Terastalized to their DNA over time: Great Tusk is basically the result of Generations of Donphan stuck on Tera Fighting, for example. The Time Machine isn't necessarily pulling them out of time/creating them into existence, but rather blasts them with such a massive amount of Terastal Energy (as it uses for a Power Source) that the ball catches a Volcarona and out comes a Slither Wing
Apologies if any of these follow-up questions are answered, I haven't looked at SV lore in-depth in a bit.That's not a bad idea (if nothing else, Herba Mystica can cause changes with prolonged exposure, surely so should terastalization...Kitakami even kind of plays with the idea), though it does bring up the question of why the other species in Area Zero are fine after all this time, why the Paradoxes seemingly stopped being around after Heath's investigation, why the Violet paradoxes turn into robots...
They have LED eyes, have "start up" animations and some like Iron Bundle even have animations showing their mechanical insides (Iron Bundle's is connected by a big spring that bobs around) and are continually referred to as "objects" found in the book. The implication is they are actually mechanical; aside from Miraidon which is more cyborg I guess. Probably so the "we ran genetic testing and confirmed Miraidon is related to Cyclizar" thing works better at a glance.Apologies if any of these follow-up questions are answered, I haven't looked at SV lore in-depth in a bit.
While the imagery is apparent, does anything in game explicitly confirm the the Violet Paradoxes are outright mechanical, as opposed to organic creatures that have a very Robot-like appearance to them (I think on Pokemon like Metagross which have a full steel body but also are mentioned to have Brains and are just compared to Robots/Computers)?
The stations were first established 87 years ago (jesus, that long? I knew it'd been a while but...) and none of the Paradoxes were found until the Professor started bringing them out of the machine. In the post game, Arven explicitly states that "wait, how could the expedition team have found the paradoxes if they weren't in Area Zero until my parent did it?"And does anything confirm the Paradoxes weren't present after Heath's expedition, or just no reports of them since Area Zero where they were found is off-limits? People apparently didn't think anything too weird about the Quaking Earth Titan (compared to the other Titans at least) roaming around Asado Desert, despite clearly different Biology from Donphan beyond the massive size, so it's also possible Heath is the only one to have observed the Paradoxes closely enough to distinguish them and survived (even Sada/Turo seem to have had everyone involved die/leave the project by the time they would have rediscovered them and the AI was made to split the workload).
Heath made it to the depths of the area, there's talks about the crystals they found in the caves and such. Great Tusk/Iron Treads were up in the upper stratum. Sadly we don't get to read the other parts of the journal so the exact parts where they found the other paradoxes aren't known.Regarding the non-Paradox Pokemon it might depend on how deep into the crater Heath made it, or tying into the concerns the AI expresses, my conjecture is that the Crystals are most dense in the depths, and thus most of the mutations happen down there and the Pokemon migrated upwards over time. AI Sada is worried about Great Tusk getting out of the crater, now here are Sandy Shocks and Slither Wing up by the entrance level and Roaring Moon hanging around a cave past the depths "ceiling."
Then explain How is that possible if nO gallade, gardevoir, delibird, jigglypuff, misdreavus and suffit have ever be seen in area zero. Noter concerning thing, the explorators drew a picture of wgat they seen. There were undiscovered species; like for exemple tge gorilla looking like donkey kong. There was nacklstack, pawmo and stuff alredy didcovered thoNew Conspiracy theory: There were Jungles in Area Zero but they died out into the open plains/crags because the Paradoxes disrupted the Crater's contained Ecosystem (given regardless of their "real" origin they're obviously Alien to Paldea with how the timelines line up).

This is about the Terapagos page. This is interesting because the implication is that the page was specifically censored for the book, yeah? It makes me wonder why that happened, because it doesn't read like it was mistakenly done. And I doubt it was necessarily for in-universe marketing considering the rest of the book's contents."Look here—these are the pages that were blacked out and made illegible in the published version of the book."
Obviously Something happening with the crater is meant to be eye catching, but in general this is a pretty brow raising reason to return to Blueberry when we have the context of "this is in the Unova region" and "Briar (/ anyone else from the school) hasn't been allowed to go to the crater""I'm sorry for suddenly springing this on you, but Carmine, Kieran, and I will need to return to Blueberry Academy a little early."
Again, truly sorry, but there have been some developments concerning the Great Crater. I'm afraid we really must be heading back.
I'm also curious what happened with the Crater that necessitates them returning to Blueberry in Unova instead of going back to Paldea (and presumably taking you with them) to investigate... the Crater. I know it's ultimately a gameplay wave for why you can still hang around Kitakami post-plot while sending the DLC2 characters away for set-up, but it's what we're working with.So there were two things from playing the DLC that I found kind of interesting, both from Briar
I mean there's a lot about Briar that's Kind of Interesting (TM) but specifically I mean

Wonder what else was excluded or censored from the manuscript...
And then, at the end of the DLC

We've kind of suspected the terrarium probably uses tera crystals in some fashion, bu tconsidering Kitakami has pure strain crystals but is (broadly, excluding toxic zombie animals) fine it's like hey what on earth are you doing in that academy where something in Paldea is causing such big issue that yo uhave to return to a Unovan Academy and not return the Paldean students back to their school.
I know exactly what you're talking about, saw it too and thought it was really interesting...and you probably couldn't find it again because it wasn'ta dedicated video. It was the last chunk of this one!So in FRLG there's an old man in a house in Cerulean City who complains that he's bored and that there's nothing exciting happening.
I saw a video the other day (which annoyingly I can't seem to find again - if anyone else saw it, please do share the link) in which it shows that apparently he changes his dialogue when the player downloads Wonder News. I'm not 100% sure how Wonder News works - apparently it just gives you advance notice of upcoming events?
So he... changes his dialogue to be excited about an upcoming Auroraticket event apparently? Weird. The video showed a couple of his dialogue changes but it's all in Japanese which I don't read (very well) so I wasn't entirely certain what he was saying.

From how it's described, Wonder News was basically a news letter telling you about upcoming/ongoing stuff and then you could share that info with friends I guess.
The closest equivalent now would be connecting online and getting the latest info about upcoming events, like how Home & SV tell us about new Battle seasons, cups, raids, etc. or how Switch has a dedicated "news" of sales, new game info, upcoming releases, etc.
Except because this was FRLG it required the adapter and being within like 10 feet of a download point in a real life (japanese-only) location that was also probably giving away the thing. A cute idea but easy to see why it didn't get a lot of recorded use; I presume that there was actually lots of Wonder News for stuff going on the only one we have info on is the Aurora Ticket.
It's very possible more was done with it, but it was an era where recording Everything wasn't a big necessity and it was probably only a footnote of something you could do.Ah I knew it was a compilation video but had no idea which one, thanks!
It's a really curious feature, could have been a lot more notable if they'd done more with it... and also perhaps if it wasn't restricted to postgame. There probably would have been a fair amount to advertise in Gen III, that gen did have a lot of giveaways and events.
Speaking of, does anyone remember that you could link an email address to DP and it was supposed to email you when a GTS trade finished?In hindsight Gen III had a lot of features like this that would have been so much better if only the games had internet access... and even Gen IV and V didn't really make full use of it due to hardware limitations (the original model DS I had couldn't connect to the Internet unless it was a really specific router; even now the only way I can get online is using my phone as a hotspot).
Snorlax is constantly using Rest and thus heals off all the damage from Strength.What's keeping the player from moving Snorlax by just using the Strength HM on it to shove it out of the way?
Go outside after you've done some workouts and shove a sleeping bear. See how well that ends.
Bears, while omnivores, have skin much akin to carnivorous predators. Their skin is loose and doesn't hold tightly to the body like ours does. This is due to how often they fight with other predators and their own species. This type of loose skin allows them to receive much more minor injuries from claws and teeth as the skin is ripped or torn open while the muscle and other tissue underneath stays firm.
I doubt that Snorlax has this same type of skin placement as it's a bear that only eats berries and lounges all day. It has no need to hunt or compete with carnivorous Pokemon.
I kind of assumed Snorlax to be a bit like Weddell Seals, where despite not being the usual image of a huge carnivorous predator, they are considered Apex Predators because their biology and build leaves them not being hunted by native species (they're too big and fat to be worth the energy hunting them takes for anything that could challenge them). Snorlax's bulky build is primarily in its HP, which I find tends to be coded to soft or blubbery Pokemon vs high Defenses entailing a hard/armored type of build. Snorlax is known steal food from settlements so I would assume it also robs other Pokemon if hungry, in which case it probably has to fight or endure some assault. I imagine it like a Macro version of Bears just kind of ignoring Bee stings due to their coat when raiding a nest to eat Larvae (more nutrient rich for them than the honey Pop Culture plays up).

I appreciate the science breakdown (not sarcasm!
