Now here's a thought. Think of this. Phoopes seemingly gains nothing from these posting points being found, correct? Nothing clearly visible at least. But why would you do this otherwise? We all know that Phoopes isn't kind or generous, so this isn't just to be nice to people. So, that leaves 2 options in my mind. Number one is that this isn't the real Phoopes, and is instead a horrible beast luring us to a "treasure" that is, in reality, just it eating the person who finds. This would explain the odd willingness to just give away treasure. However, what it does not explain is how this beast types in almost the exact same fashion that Phoopes does. One could explain this through some sort of "memory consumption" power, but that just seems a little bit too convenient for our situation. Even then, we do not want to eliminate this possibility, as it could still be true. Now, my next idea. Phoopes secretly has no treasure. In this situation, she loses nothing! But she does gain entertainment. Here's the scene. Phoopes is bored, doing nothing and wondering what to watch. Then suddenly, an idea! The idea is to give people false hope of a treasure that doesn't exist. Then, as everyone stumbles around wildly looking for the treasure, entertainment is created! You would get to watch people search and search, never finding the supposed treasure. You get to see them become more desperate, trying their hardest to trick Phoopes into revealing the location but to no avail. And, in the end, Phoopes has also made a profit off of free reactions to something that doesn't exist. The only problem is that some have already fallen for this trap, and may not believe that Phoopes would be so malevolent as to do this for entertainment. That is a problem for another post though.
