What was up with that one room in Po Town Mansion that was untouched?
>>
The golf field was suppsed to be Kahili's trila (bringing the trials to 8 like the gyms) but went unused.

It's present and fully textured.

GF, WHY
>>
>>30528635
it's Plumeria's room
>>
Where did the Stufful go? I forgot which route it was on but it was in a motel, waiting for its trainer, who had abandoned him. After beating the E4 it's gone.
>>
>>30528635
My best guess is that Plumeria used that room

Did Handsome in ORAS came back from the Ultra Beast dimension and that's why he doesn't remember anything?
>>
Is Nanu actually Acerola's uncle or is it just a Hawaiian thing?
>>
>>30528791
hawaii thing, acerola is dead.

think about it.

maile city library talks about long dead royalty
acerola loves ghost pokemon
acerola says in the elite 4 she's bringing a "old royal touch"
>>
>>30528816
Nanu sure is nonchalant about knowing a ghost
>>
The entire story of sun/moon is a greek tragedy.

Requesting the screencaps of the anon who explains it better than me.

>Lusamine is a mix of phaedra and medea (in some versions she murders her 3 sons, aka null)
>Sophocles pioneered the third person in greek tragedy (it's lillie's story and the player is the third person)

and countless other things, anyone got a screencap from the thread of the guy explaining it?
>>
>>30528889
Nanu doesn't seem to care much about anything, really.
>>
>>30528907
The only tragedy is not being able to sex best girl Acerola
>>
Is Nanu related to AZ? Their faces are identical
>>
>>30529020


could be. the old european royal families were pretty closely related. the kalos and alolan royalty could've been similar.

It actually makes sense

He's seen crazier shit.
>>
>>30528816
Ghosts don't walk around freely, especially during the day out in the open. Besides, it goes against all of the established ghost etiquette and standards this series has had.
>>
>>30528816
Also, she's the only one of the trial captains who doesn't have a house that you can visit
>>
>>30529165
>yfw the reason Acerola is friends with Nanu is because she's dead and he's dead inside
>>
>>30529227
You can, it's the Aether House near the Ghost Trial. Acerola isn't dead, her parents are, she's an orphan.
>>
>>30528816
Nah
>>
>>30528816
So that's why she said the books in the library were her dad's...

I don't know where I'm going with this.

Route 13 Motel. That room is used during the looker quest. Stuffel are canonically popular with single women so I choose to believe Anabel adopted it.

You know some refreshing lore about the games as a whole would be nice. Alola was just wrapped up in itself only hinting that other regions exist. I hope GF actually plays upon the "it all comes together" pandering they did at some point. Lore isn't really GFs strong point...
>>
>>30529475
Wat? Explain anon
>>
>Hau's dad
Where is he? There. Now discuss, anons. Sequel hook, maybe?
>>
>>30528619
Wait, what is the lore thus far? Oras was cool and what did Alola bring to the table lore wise? Can an anon explain to me?
>>
>>30529514
>it all comes together
Just a marketing ploy.. FU GF
>>
>>30529543
What is there to explain? Anabel is from the RSE universe, she went through the Ultra Wormhole and as a result makes Ultra Beasts go crazy when they're next to her.
>>

Have you played the demo?
>>
>>30528648
>It's present and fully textured.
It is?
Fuck you GF
>>
>>30529291
It makes sense, more than her being a fucking Ghost, at least.

>Her parents are only ever mentioned, not shown. Every other Trial Captain has their immediate family appear besides Soph, who's cousin appears instead.
>In Hawaii, Uncle is a common phrase used to describe an older man, not necessarily a family member
>Why would a child, especially one as fun loving as Acerola be in a library? Because her father owned the books that are there, which she reads in an attempt to learn more about her heritage and feel a connection to him.
>She also specifally mentions that SHE had them moved to the library in order to keep them out of the way of Pokemon, meaning she cares about their well being greatly since they were her Father's
>She constantly makes references to her Royal bloodline, the only thing she has left as it's sole remaining survivor, she needs to carry on the legacy.
>She also puts a great deal of faith into Authority figures in general. Telling Lillie she can realy on an Officer to help her find her way through Tapu Village.
>She also assumes that Nanu is keeping an eye on Team Skull since he's such a great Police Officer.
>She's surprised too when the PC takes care of Pokemon themselves instead of having Aether, a charity force, take care of them instead.
>Judging from the Aether House near Tapu village, the children are without parents, relying instead on Hau and Acerola to comfort them as you take back one of their Yungoos.
>She's the only Trial Captain without a House you can visit, because she doesn't have one as an orphan.

If you're gonna believe a dumb headcanon about Acerola, believe this instead of her being a fucking Ghost.

She does seem rather close to Nanu though, I mean hell she even visits him and want him to visit Aether House.
>>
>>30529514
>only hinting that other regions exist
Right, that's why the game says you came from Kanto, and shoves characters from other regions in your face all the time?
>>
>>30529558
Hau said his dad was a strong trainer in Kanto. Hala is a tan squinty eyed fighting type E4 member. Bruno is a tan squinty eyed fighting type master in Kanto.

Hala -> Bruno -> Hau

She feels attached to him as an authority figure, and if the speculation of him having Royal blood in him his true, he's her only family she has left.
Hell, it would even add another layer of why Nanu is so jaded, his sibling died years ago and now he has watch over his niece.
>>
>>30529609
Confirmed she is from the RSE universe?
>>
Anyone ever notice how young all the trial captains are? Why do you think that is, considering most games previously had at least one older gym leader?

Trial challenge is run by kids for kids
>>
>>30529936
Doesn't Mallow mention they have to retire once they hit 20?
>>
>>30529848
That's not hinting that other regions exist, that's more mention of them than most earlier games had. Just because you can't go to another region doesn't mean that the game isn't aware that other regions exist.
>>
>>30529663
>Why would a child, especially one as fun loving as Acerola be in a library?
Maybe she likes books? I know this might come as a surprise to you Americans, but some children actually enjoy reading.
>>
ITT: No one knows current lore.
>>
>>30528816
DUDE
That's why Nanu refers to her as a noise
Not because he's a dick, but because she's not corporeal
>>
>>30530080
Who said I was an American? Anyway, do we actually see her read any books in the game? Does she say that she likes books? Does she seem to care about written works beyond her Father's books at all through out our time seeing her?
>>
>>30530131
Jesus Christ you're like the Bulbapedos who insist that Charizard isn't confirmed male because we don't see him getting hit with Attract

I still like the game, but that was so obviously cut out.

She uses the old RSE battle frontier theme instead of the updated one from ORAS.

nah

Well I hope they go into detail somehow... thats cool and id live to see what the story is. Maybe with generations they will? Because GF isnt doing a good job explaining lore
>>
>>30530168
Wat. Charizard is a species that is both male and female. Are you talking about the anime or something?
>>
>>30530331
They let a Hoenn E4 member bring a ghost kid into her chamber.
>>
>>30529849
Well he must be doing a good job considering how cheery Acerola is.

Why has nobody pointed out the odd oranguru in the aether house that acerola stays in, and the house itself for that matter.

There is like no explanation or acknowledgement as to why its there, its just there. It also randomly reacts in ONE SCENE with gladion were it faces towards you.

Are all cameos fallers? Looker was played up to be one in ORAS, presumably some time later, Anabel showed up as one as well. I wouldn't be surprised if red and blue were mega universe's red and blue. But Colress struck me as using his suit to cover some pretty intense scarring / radiation burns, and it could just be mega universe's grimsby is older and decided to dress comfy, but I took it as him experiencing trauma.

And now for pure headcanon, how likely is it UBs are from RSE universe? Considering how artificial and min-maxed UBs are, I wouldn't be surprised of each was man-made. And, while in mega universe, scientists have been making nasty devices to draw on pokemon's power, and protagonists have used friendly devices to draw power from a pokemon's bond, in RSE pokemon have been CREATED to have more power. Like being able to Mega evolve and z-move have caused scientists to want to abuse what was available more, while in RSE stronger and stronger artificial mons were made until UBs were developed. Or is it blatantly canon and I'm mistaking connecting dots for headcanon?

You can meet her parents in their boat.
>>
>>30530996
Only Anabel is confirmed and Looker is only an assumption from the way he was introduced in ORAS. None of the others have any indication of being Fallers.

UBs are from Ultra Space. Play the fucking game.
>>
>>30530913
Whiscash boat, that's their house.
>>
>>30529593
Not true. Every game had at least one cameo.
>>
>>30531094
oh, I'd assumed to say "Ultra Space" is to say "Aether" in MtG, just a space between universes which could be accessed by UBs after tearing RSE universe to shreds. UB01 making a nest out of an irradiated Nugget bridge would've been would've been cool.

There's no evidence at all that it was supposed to be a trial site. Being tied to Kahili somehow is a reasonable guess, but to think it would be a trial is a bit of a stretch.
>>
>>30531094

I assumed that Ultra Space is what happened to RSE Universe that was mentioned after shit went wrong.

Originally I had hoped it was more 'UB's are PEOPLE!' but now it is more like "Is Deoxys a UB? Could it be the cause of UB's in RSE since there was no Mega Rayquaza or shit to stop it in space?"

I mean, I know Space Alien... But all we know is a Meteor that was coming towards earth with its protean cells inside... What stops it from being an Ultra Beast?
>>
>>30529660
It isn't, he's lying. If you use cheats to access the golf course you'll just find a void after the first mound.

But retards are adamant on spreading this "Kahili was supposed to be a trial captain but they ran out of time" meme despite it not making any sense since she's over 20 and the 7 captains thing reflects the 7 generations = 7 colors of the rainbow theme Alola has. There was never supposed to be 8 captains.
>>
Why was that one Pelipper such a jerk?
>>
>>30531781
Nah dude, RSE takes place in the same universe as FRLG, so Deoxys has already crashlanded on Earth waaay before you start your journey.

I know this is a meme, but hear me out:

In the Azoth Triangle (pictured) the message around the circle reads "Visita Interiora Terræ Rectificando Invenies Occultum Lapidem," essentially meaning "Visit the interior of the earth and [by] purifying [yourself] you will find the hidden stone".

Guess who was found underground at Ten Carat Hill, a known site of an underwater volcano?

Necrozma.

Also:
>It's jpg's name on the website lists it officially as the third legendary
>It's got a 600 BST, same as Zygarde in Terminus Cave
>In it's cry, it has the same droning sound present in all other Ultra Beasts' cries, including Solgaleo's and Lunala's
>It's based on a prism and by extension the refraction of light, tying in to Solgaleo's generation and Lunala's reflection of light
>Prisms are known to split white light into a spectrum of colors
>Pokemon Niji [Rainbow] was registered as a trademark a while back

If Pokemon Stars is going to be a thing, then Necrozma will be the Box Legendary, no question.

Also, ignore the starters. they just seemed shoehorned in there.
>>
Why did they even mention that the anther paradise sends out a signal to disable the use of pokeballs when everyone uses their teams just fine
>>
>>30532267
to explain why the game doesn't let you throw a ball at the ultra beast you fight
>>
>>30532267
I think it was referring to unused pokeballs/pokeballs without anything in them, so that nobody would be able to show up and catch the Pokemon that Aether was "protecting."
Not sure how the jamming signal differentiates between used and unused balls, but pretty sure that's what they were going for.
>>
>>30532222

>>
>>30528619
All the golf courses in Alola were bombed by the PokeJihad.
That's why there are so many golfers in Alola and that one Elite 4 member not playing golf.
>>
>>30528681
I believe that was the implication yes
>>
>>30532296
Why is Lusamine able to use a beastball on Nihilego later in the story then? Is the signal shut off? Is the signal not designed to affect beastballs, even though it would still prevent you from using one if you'd had one traded to you before the battle with Nihilego? Or is the signal just not present in Lusamine's private chamber?
>>
Did anyone notice the thing in the background runs off when you finish talking to acerola after the trial? It was behind some bushes and you barely see it.

I ran off and said fuck this. Another weird thing that threw me off is that the trial music sounds like it's being cut out and I legitimately thought my ds was acting up.
>>
>>30532222
The cube at the bottom of the picture is also a chunk of Aether, which is what the night sky was believed to be made of (early scientists believed that light conducted through it, which is how it traveled through space).

Google ain't helping me here.

Is there some kind of DLC shit planned for Konikoni City?
I'm in the postgame, but I still can't get to that lighthouse.
Like, the boat seems oddly specific too, but that fucking lighthouse has a path and shit around it according to the map.

Is this like the golf course and power plant? Just a place in the game you can look at but not go to?
>>
>>30528619
>0u0

>>30532899
Go through Diglett Cave, there's a block that can only be pushed by Machamp there that leads to the Lighthouse. You can't enter it, but there is a TM in the area.
>>
>>30532899
diglett cave has a boulder you can push to reach the lighthouse. can't get inside though.

this game has some spots where it seems like gamefreak withheld content. maybe in the next version

You can't get Lunatones in the game right? Do we know what he does?

Where is this stated? I'm not one of those retards that skips dialogue and doesn't talk to NPCs, but I don't remember this being implied or stated anywhere in the game.

>7 Captains reflects the 7 generations
>There were never supposed to be 8 captains
>I know absolutely nothing about game design, how deadlines work in production, and what "rushed" ACTUALLY means.
Any game that does not have all of its planned content released because of lack of production time is by definition rushed.

Your argument also conveniently ignores the huge amount of untouched spaces, the fact that psuedo-trials such as the Psychic and Bug crystals exist, and that we have somebody that was blatantly meant to be a Dragon trainer that is completely unused in the game despite getting a VERY well-detailed section in his design notes in the artbook. It also ignores that Mina was clearly intended to be a more important character than she ended up being, and doesn't acknowledge how easy it is to slightly bend the lore with a single throwaway line or two in order to justify shifting half-made content elsewhere.

Sure, Khalil may not have been intended to be a captain, but your argument is flawed and your logic is weak and unsupported.

>>30529720
That's what Platinum did, so it honestly wouldn't surprise me. Still, I'm not gonna hold my breath.
>>
>>30533223
I haven't heard of that Dragon guy. Got any pictures from that artbook of him?

And yeah, Mina REALLY felt like she was something planned that they just didn't have time to really implement.
The Bug crystal, however, I'm sure always went to Guzma. The whole town was basically his own trial.

The Psychic, Flying and Ice crystals, though, aren't as clear.
Flying would obviously be Kahili's at the golf course.
Ice seemed to be where it should be in the ice mountain, I don't think they had any real trial planned for it.
Psychic is the odd one out. It's location doesn't make sense, but there doesn't seem to be a good place for it if they had planned that originally.
>>
>>30533394
Perhaps if Claydol's line was in Sun/Moon and in the desert it'd be a bit more clear. Something tells me personally that the Ice-trial was supposed to be the one without a true captain as the sort of challenge of Victory Road, with the Dragon captain taking over the relevant one on Poni, with Mina and Kahil having their trials on Akala and Poni respectively as well.

>>30533223
It's in Mallow's dialogue for when you get a little quest and can battle her after her trial. It's in moon only. In sun, you get see Kiawe getting fired from his job at the supermarket and watch his dreams of paying for school crumble.
>>
>>30533394
I don't have the page from the artbook on me. Haven't gotten around to saving it and I keep losing the link to the MEGA.

Guzma definitely was meant to have the Bug crystal from the get-go. Plumeria having the Poison Z-Crystal also seems intentional due to her team and theorized ties to Bulu which are admittedly heavily conjecture, but since admins get shafted all the time anyway it's hard to say whether they intended to do anything with that or not.

The Psychic crystal has the memorization pattern as its "trial", but no captain, which makes me think that they had a better trial designed initially but canned it before they even had so much as a captain. The out-of-the-way location also makes it seem like it and Bulu's shrine were just sorta tacked to each other to conserve space.

The Ice "trial" was probably dropped really early in development. It's possible they wanted to do something in the mountain, but decided to cut it to keep the mountain from being Victory Road AND a trial site. The location is obviously intentional, but the crystal itself just seems placed there with no fanfare.

>>30533471
I feel like Mina NOT having a trial initially was supposed to be part of her character. As if the Fairy trial's creation was supposed to be something in postgame or lategame. You would still get the Fairium Z in lategame so that you could have it and be considered as actually having completed the trials, but the actual trial wouldn't be done until postgame, maybe as a "test run" or something.

The Dragon trial is so ridiculously barebones that it maybe took a day to fully create from 0. A decently-sized and skilled team could've designed, modeled, textured, scripted, coded, and maybe even gotten some testing in before lunch. Oh well, at least the rock star is in Title Defense, even if he comes out of nowhere harder than Khalil does.

It would certainly explain why the UB don't make a significant appearance in the story outside of Nihilego.

As well as the lack of content.
>>
>>30533223
Look at the captains' hair colors. They're red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet and pink. Do you really believe this wasn't intentional? And it's not something that could have been changed in the last minute.

Maybe Mina was indeed supposed to have a bigger role but they ran out of time, maybe Kahili was supposed to have a bigger role in the game as well, not as a captain but just as a relevant NPC. I also believe that. But the trials/captains were clearly supposed to be only 7.

Unless you want to try to argue that Ten Carat Hill is SUPPOSED to have nothing in it but a random postgame legendary fight and a random Z-Crystal? Or that the partially-rendered golf course which you can see as being accessible via the map wasn't dummied out before being completed?
Or maybe you'd like to argue that despite the clear effort put into Mina, Khalil, and the Dragon trainer whose name escapes me ISN'T disproportionate to their role in the game?
Oh, I know, you're going to say that Johto having 0 references or legacy characters is just fine because "Johto was shit anyway" I won't disagree, but it's not a real argument as there were still more than a couple of NPCs to pick from.

>Captains have rainbow hair colors
That doesn't necessarily prove anything, but I'll admit it's neat and does lean towards being planned. Pink isn't a color of the rainbow but points for trying.
>>
>people genuinely believe every single Z-crystal was supposed to have an entire trial and captain associated to it, but it didn't because the game was rushed
Just imagine how fucking repetitive the game would get with 18 fucking trials

Not to mention the trials stopped being relevant halfway through the game because of Lillie's family drama

I bet you believe there was supposed to be a Z version as well

Never said it was, but Blue/Indigo are almost always lumped together when it comes to color-coded characters.

It's also interesting that Kahili has light blue hair, so she'd suit the rainbow pattern better than Ilima. Maybe she was designed as a captain early in the game's development, but Ilima had so much screentime that I doubt he was a last-minute addition.

>>30534140
>He doesn't think that Z was scrapped to make ORAS.
Explain why Zygarde got so much shit invested into it and wasn't ever relevant until the gen AFTER he premiered?

I don't think EVERY SINGLE crystal was supposed to have a typical trial and captain associated with it, but there's a number of ways they could've had a psuedo-trial instead of just "here's a random Z-Crystal lying around in a completely unrelated location".

I could buy the Icium-Z being just shoved into the ice mountain and left at that. But we have a Flying-specialist, a location associated with her that is partially finished and dummied out, and a flying Z-Crystal just shoved into a random cave in a completely irrelevant location. That combination screams "we didn't have time to finish".

Z wasn't scrapped to make ORAS, it was scrapped to make SM. The wanted something more exciting than a rehashed version for the 20th anniversary.

ORAS was a rushed mess made in just 1 year to get some money from the hoenn confirmed memesters. There were still plans to return to Kalos and conclude Gen 6 after ORAS, but they were dropped because an entire new generation would sell more.

The dad beating him thing is retarded. And besides hitting him with golf clubs with enough force to bend them would have killed him. I take it Guzma was unruly and caught a few parentally justified "beatings", AKA his dad hitting him when he acted like a cunty punk. This whole thing of routine beatings is silly, and I took the line the dad says ("I got beat") to be about his mother intervening and scolding the dad.

I thought that Hau´s father was Brock and the reason he could never beat Hala was because of type advantages.
it would make sense since both Hala and Brock have lines instead of eyes and it´s possible that Brock wanted Hala to raise Hau and have him become the new kahuna instead of being a gym leader, since a Kahunais supposed to be a more prestigious charge than a gym leader.
Gotta admit that Hau is strong as fuck, the kid would make for an amazing Kahuna battle

E4 is usually a pack of literally whos, but they've been gradually trying to make them more relevant in the main game since as far back as Gen 2. Khalil is more blatant in an E4 where you interacted with the other 3 on a semi-decent basis beforehand, though.

My guess is that the secret message in Lumiose train station: "I'm going to go for help. Wait in the usual place."

Are related to her past, as in ghost girl was in danger and wrote message so that her friend should be coming for her aid in their "usual place" but her friend never showed up and ghost girl died due to the mysterious danger. Then her spirit just wonders around, even across regions (ORAS), to find her friend ever since and saying: "You are not the one."

Whatever the danger that was threatening her life is still unsolved, perhaps the whole tragedy was supposed to be a reference to some obscure ghost tale.

But his father did not appreciate that behavior of him running off from home and so Guzma was often got beat down by his dad when he got home.
>One of Team Skull password: Beat Down

Despite his sacrifice, Guzma never won in competitive battle because he overreliant on Bug team. His rival and possibly sister, Kahili has always outskilled him with her Flying team in both Pokemon battle and life. Felt broken inside, Guzma took revenge by beating his dad on the skull with one of Kahili's golf clubs until it bent and ultimately ran away from home as selfmade outlaw leader of Team Skull.
>It's the boss that beats you down, beats you down and never lets up.... Oh yeah. Big bad Guzma is here!
>>
What if the Distortion World is actually Ultra Space?
>>
>>30548975
wasnt it beat up? not beat down?
>>
>>30549735
It was definitely beat down. The weird phrasing was what made that line stand out.
>>
>>30548993
I actually feel like this is the case.
It may be just the name whoever discovered gave it in a certain region.

I find kinda confusing to think there are n dimensions instead of just one big "another" dimension with different parts.

I kinda want them to be the same because when Pokemon Generations end they could wire it up like a big reveal.

I thought that password was named after a pokemon TM? also Khaili isnt related to guz, she has parents who own the big hotel
>>
>>30528635
Well iirc you get the TM for Sludge Bomb in there and Plumeria's a Poison expert so it's probably hers.
>>
>>30544530
>Yeah seeing the kahunas in the elite 4 and then a "who the heck is this person" appear was kinda disjointing.
Literally every E4 has at least one "You've literally never appeared in the game before outside of this room, who the fuck are you"

Prove me wrong

Protip, you can't

>Shauntal out of nowhere

he said at least one, not all
>>
>>30541351
who WAS this douchebag anyway

Did he do ANYTHING?
>>
>>30536795
Nigga he literally smacks himself and yells "GUZMA WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU" every time he fucks up, alongside doing the old abusive parent quote of saying "If a machine doesn't work, I beat it until it does"

This is a game where a major character watched a young girl get eaten alive, how the fuck is it that the idea of parental abuse alludes you?
>>
>>30550445
>a major character watched a young girl get eaten alive

wuh
>>
>>30550423
That's Grimsley, one of the elite four in Black/White.

It was just a cameo, anon. Same with Colress.
>>
>>30550544
Looker post-game missions. Nanu and Looker are revealed to be former partners for Interpol and they had used a Faller to try and stop Guzzlord. Looker, for some reason, hesitated and before Nanu could do anything about it, the Guzzlord ate the Faller.
>>
>>30550544

did you just not pay attention to the UB missions?

Nanu quit the police force because a few years back they went on a mission and one of their squad got eaten by Guzzlord
>>
>>30550548
Oh I didn't recognize him without the Honchcrow look

Man B/W were such phenomenally uninspired games to me outside of N. I don't think I ever even finished 2
>>
>>30550588
>>30550601
Oh, I haven't done the UB missions yet. And I'm playing the game in French to practice so honestly I probably miss a few things.
>>
>>30536138
Why did GF fucking put this in?
Couldn't we have at least been given a chance to go there once in a while to keep it healthy and alive? Just to accompany it or something?
Fuck
We got to give the old man from XY one of our own Pokes to keep him company, so why couldn't we do something similar to Stuful?
>>
>>30550129
I decided to compile a list based on gen to check your claim:

>Gen 1:
Lorelei, Bruno, and Agatha never appear outside of their respective rooms before you encounter them

>Gen 2:
None of the Elite 4 appear outside of the Indigo Plateau before you first encounter them in that gen specifically.
If you include Gen 1, then Bruno and Koga were both encountered.

>Gen 3:
Sidney, Phoebe, Glacia, and Drake are all encountered for the first time in Ever Grande City, though Phoebe and Drake in Gen 6 can be re-encountered in Mt. Pyre and the SS Tidal respectively.

>Gen 4:
Aaron, Bertha, Flint, and Lucian are never encountered before you first see them in the E4.
Flint, however, does reappear post-game in Platinum.

>Gen 5:
Shauntal, and Grimsley are never encountered before you first encounter them in the E4.
Shauntal, however, can be visited post-game in Cynthia's villa.
Marshall is referenced at Twist Mountain in Pokemon BW, and appears in front of Twist Mountain in BW2 if you attempted to go there early.
Grimsley reappears in Pokemon SM.
Caitlin appeared as early as Gen 4, where she oversees Castle Valet Darach, and reappears at Cynthia's Villa.

>Gen 6:
Wiksfrom and Drasna are never encountered or referenced before you first encounter them at the E4.
Malva is first seen on the Holo-Caster, long before you encounter the E4.
Siebold is mentioned offhandedly in Restaurant Le Yeah.

All four cna be re-encountered at the Chateau.

Gen 7 is the outlier, where you know and interact with three out of 4 of the E4 long before you face them there (and of those, you battle two of them beforehand!), four if you include the "Champion" Kukui. And even then, Kahili IS mentioned in the Hano Grand Resort.

Isn't the Faller just Anabel who is totally fine and not eaten
>>
>>30550933
No, Nanu flat out says a Faller was eaten by Guzzlord when you do that mission, and Looker begs you to be careful when you encounter them.

Anabel was told to keep AWAY from Guzzlord, to the point they gave her misinformation about its location.
>>
>>30550972
What is a Faller anyway
>>
>>30550980
Someone from another dimension
>>
>>30551011
That can't be right, there can't be a bunch of people from another dimension. There's not even humans confirmed to live in UB world
>>
>>30551129
It's someone that has one through one ultra portal.
>>
>>30550980
>>30551011
>>30551129
A Faller is anyone who's been in or through an Ultra Wormhole. The protag of SM is a Faller, for example, as are Lusamine, Guzma, and Lillie.

Basically, Ultra Beasts are legit just trying to go home most of the time, so they follow the Ultra Energy that Fallers are soaked in from being in or through Ultra Wormholes in hopes they're portals home.
>>
When Koga gave you the Toxic TM back in Red and Blue, he explains that it is a ninja technique 400 years old which explains why basically all pokemon can learn it.
Magearna can't because it's 500 years old.
>>
Does PokéSpe mentions in any way that Anabel disappeared?
>>
>>30550911
You meet flint in gen 4. He tells you to battle volkner when you go to sunnyshore city
>>
>>30535002
It's DLC in the most literal definition.
>>
>>30536138
Literal fuck. The motel manager knew and let the thing die in a room. Fucking logic.
>>
>>30545508
I doubt this. Why? Because the story becomes more casualized each year. With each passing year, you are guided more and more and there is more and more handholding. If the games were directed at people who grew up with it, they would not have included a 2 hour unstoppable trial in the beginning of the game and called it the first island.
>>
>>30551276
1. Why would the age of a technique have anything to do with the Pokemon that can learn it?
2. Why would the age of a Pokemon have anything to do with a movie it can learn?

For example, the Pokedex states that if you see a Wartortle today, it is 10,000 years old... much older than Magearna. And Wartortle can learn toxic.

>yfw the missing third police member is croagunk.
>>
Nanu started Team Skull
>>
>>30534037
thanks for making me watch for 5 minutes and there was absolutely nothing to do with ghosts in this video.

dick.
>>
>>30551620
Magearna predates Toxic.
>>
>>30551620
It's entirely possible that's true, and they simply went with the idea to justify the fact the last thing we need is another fairy/steel type that can learn Toxic.
>>
>>30551638
Oh man I can't believe I forgot about Croagunk. My friend came up with a theory the third person was Megaverse Anabel which is why Nanu and Looker are trying so hard to keep Anabel safe and distant from all this. They see it as a chance to fix their fuck up and save this new Anabel.

>>30551620

>tfw no Emraul of pokémon universe
Or is that Nihilego?
>>
>>30552072
Nihilego doesn't start destroying reality with it's presence
>>
>>30529663
Funny, because the ghost argument works just as well

>Liliʻuokalani (Hawaiian pronunciation: [liliˌʔuokəˈlɐni]), born Lydia Liliʻu Loloku Walania Wewehi Kamakaʻeha (September 2, 1838 – November 11, 1917), was a composer of Hawaiian music, author and the last reigning monarch of the Kingdom of Hawaii

>Both have similar styled clothes - no sleeves, undershirt, dress cut same way, pin in hair
>Acerola's dress looks torn to the back as if attacked
>Her lips do something no other human character in the series does, but which ghosts would be able to do due to illusions
>Those books of her father's are pretty old, it seems
>Why would a ghost have a house? Could have been destroyed a while back
>>
>>30552072
Last I checked they didn't need to lock Nihilego inside a moon top stop it from eating the universe.
>>
>>30549944
Also if you check the shelves and stuff it says it's full of make-up, which Plumeria uses HEAVILY on her ugly mug.
>>
>>30551697
Does that mean Nanu can drop some dope rhymes?
>>
>>30552222
>Why would a ghost have a house? Could have been destroyed a while back
Acerola's house is the mansion in Po Town. She moved her father's books to the library after it was sacked.
>>
>>30552222
Just because the books are old doesn't mean the owner of the books is.

I have a copy of Marcus Aurelius' Meditations, does that mean I'm actually from Ancient Rome?
>>
>>30551129
The idea is that Ultra Wormholes link many dimensions, and that the UB world is just one of those dimensions. They also link to other Pokemon 'universes' e.g. the RSE universe which is where Annabel came from.
>>
>>30548993
>>30549909
Considering Giratina was hurled into a pocket dimension where it was the only living thing, in order to preserve creation from it's apparent unending violence, I doubt that's the case.

It kinda depends on if one Arceus made all the dimensions, or if each dimension has its own Arceus. Each dimension might have a different version of the Arceus myth then, and Giratina might technically be an UB.

But as it is, he's more or less trapped in hell, not space.
>>
>>30545470
I recall the dad mentioning Guzma beating him up before the post-Game. I only realized it was Guzma's house in the post game and then made the connection between that line and it being Guzma the dad was talking about.
>>
most of the Faller ideas are made up, i.e. not fact, off the idea that pokemon has multi universes... starting in ORAS. by A. Zinnia suggesting that there are different universes, and B. a theory that the Hoopa holes brought the legends from a different universe.

it is possible that everyone is from the mega universe, but the ones that lose memory, (Looker, Anabel, Prof Mohn) time jump, as opposed to the ones that come out at the present time (PC, Lillie, Lusamine, Guzma)
>>
>>30548993
i wouldnt be surprised... i could see it like, the old universe is the aftermath of Cyrus recreating his world... aka going to the Distortion World. I would bet all my pokedollars that Cyrus will be a faller in the DPP remakes. my question for the people that claim fallers are from a seperate universe... where are the mega universe Looker and Anabel?
>>
and now that i think about it... is it possible that AZ isnt immortal, but is a faller and time jumped to XY time?
>>
>>30536138
Wait, is it the same woman who has you finding all her missing Stufful on Route 10?
