Y'know, alternete universes aside, I do not appreciate this

B-but muh epic delta episode xD

Oh that sucks, every game in and of itself is a retcon. Don't worry too much about it.

>>26801146
This annoyed me a lot too. Sootopolis is rising up from a fucking trench. There is no way a meteor crater would create such a formation.

>>26801146
Why does it matter

The Retconned Timeline:
>RBGY>GSC

The Canon Non-Mega Timeline:
>FRLG=RSE>HGSS=DPPL>BW>BW2

The Canon Mega Timeline:
>ORAS>XY

This is literally proven fact if you actually pay attention to the games.

Couldn't it be both? First the eruption, then the crater made everything nice and holey.

>>26801599
What are the odds that a meteor would hit a volcano?

>>26801608
This is a video game we're talking about

>>26801608
What are the odds that a meteor would turn fug into Mega-fug?

>>26801594
It's canon that the old games still take place in the Mega timeline, they just have Megas in them

There's an ex-Plasma grunt somewhere in Lumiose, I think

I thought you had to be 18 to post on 4chan?

>>26801644
Yeah, because MegaUnova also had Team Plasma. We just never faced them because we played in NonMegaUnova.

>>26801644
Also Colress is mentioned by a couple NPCs in X and Y. And Blue was confirmed in a interview to have a Mega Pidgeot, which was his ace in GSC/HGSS. So yeah, everything still happened in the Mega timeline... only with Megas.

>>26801608
Doing some back-of-the-napkin math:
A quick survey of a volcano database website gave me some info:
# of volcanoes active within last 10,000 years: about 1500 on land, and an unknown but disproportionately larger number underwater. Since the world is about 70% ocean, and we can guesstimate that the ocean floor has about 150% as many volcanoes per unit area, I brought that up to approximately 7,000.
The website also listed the average widths of many volcanoes, and a survey of about 30 of different types suggested an average average width beautifully close to 1km. If we make that square to ease the math, that's 1(km^2) per volcano, which, with the above number, means that about 7,000(km^2) of the Earth's surface, counting ocean floor, is made up of volcanoes.

Knowing that the surface area of Earth is about 510.1million(km^2), we get a 0.000014% chance that a given meteor would hit a volcano. And if we're calculating for an inpact of the actual mouth of the volcano? Fucking forget it.

So yeah. Low odds.

>>26801608
The same odds that it would crash into anything else

Anon, don't be stupid.

>>26801594
In XY megas are treated as something that is still not totally know, other than something peculiar of Kalos. So, I think there's 2 timeline, one where emerald is canon, and one with canon ORAS. In the Emerald's one megas exist but are very rare and only used in Kalos. In the ORAS' one they are very known, very common and global. (/ are alt universes)
FR/LG=E>HG/SS=Pt>B/W>B2/W2=X/Y
FR/LG=OR/AS>HG/SS=Pt>B/W>B2/W2=X/Y
Retconned timeline:
Y>C
Retconned games: RBG,GS,RS,DP

>>26802011
Yeah the bullshit from ORAS saying it's not a new thing, and people know about fairies.

But it's the prequel from mr bonding

>>26802011
But in the Delta Episode, Zinnia mentions a different timeline parallel to theirs where megas don't exist.
Wouldn't that mean no timelines were retconned, just that Gen 6 is a jump into a completely different timeline alltogether where Megas exist?

>>26802115
Ah so non mega xy werr the good versions of gen 6 that we never got. It all makes sense now

>>26802115
Couldn't it be implied there's one like that too since there's infinite of them?

>>26801942
you're either gonna draw a red marble or a blue marble, so it's 50/50

he asked about the odds
I have a master's in applied math and statistics so i crunched the numbers for him, not a big deal so thanks aren't necessary

>>26802172
This, makes perfect sense if you think about it.

>>26802278
Doesn't even require thinking. There's two possibilities, so it's 50/50. If you want the full details, it's a lot lower, but the simple answer is either red or blue. A number is just a number.

>>26802172
>>26802218
Please locate a revolver with 6 shots. Load 5 and spin it. Aim it through the roof of your mouth and the pull the trigger.

You'll either shoot yourself or not. 50/50.

Meteor and volcano eruptions are mutually exclusive events.
A meteor hitting a place where a volcano erupted is just as likely as it hitting any other spot on the earth.
The odds are low but nonzero.

>>26803019
>Meteor and volcano eruptions are mutually exclusive events.
>The odds are low but nonzero.
You failed logistics right?
By definition mutually exclusive events cannot occur together. And in this case they can, both an volcano eruption and a meteor impact can happen at the same place, although the odds are low.

>>26801146

Alternative timelines.

>>26803019
I'm sorry, but I think we may have misunderstood each other. We're saying the same thing, I think.

>A meteor hitting a place where a volcano erupted is just as likely as it hitting any other spot on the earth.
That is correct. And so I calculated what percentage of spots on the Earth were part of a volcano, and used that to figure out the likelihood of a meteor hitting one of that shorter list of spots.

>The odds are low but nonzero.
Also correct. I found the nonzero odds to be in the neighborhood of 0.000014%. It's an extremely rough calculation, but the order of magnitude won't be far off.

What did you mean? Because it seems like you said the same thing I did.

>>26801146
>they retconned the fact that its based off of santorini, created by a volcanic eruption

I've never felt the autism rise up in me this strong

>>26803971
Also isn't Santorini literally Atlantida?
