>in rse, it's the result of an underwater volcanic eruption

>>32155467
it doesn't even make sense for an island to be birthed by a giant meteor impact. Something catastrophic to create land from an impact would have decimated maybe half the planetary surface

>>32155467
You got shitter Ohmori to thank for that. Also for multishitverse.

>>32155490
Plus it ruins the English name, at least.

Why Sootopolis City if not for soot?

It's kind of disgusting considering Santorini IS a volcano.

>>32155467
>volcano
>fills with water as it cools

Islands dont work that way since that is literally still a hole to the mantle meaning it should still be erupting.

>>32155548
google "crater lake"

also, >hole in the layer of earth which is literally perpetually molten

jfc we need to teach basic ecology and geology in schools

>>32155548
you need to read more

Let's not fight.

Sootopolis is a calm place.

>>32155490
This bothered me a ton too. I can buy magical creatures shooting fire and water at each other, but a giant meteor making an island crosses some line.

I did not buy the remakes, but reading the plot synopsis and watching some videos really irked me how GF changed Hoenn's story and history. Granted, RSE did not have the best story around, but they took an already ridiculous premise and made it even more bizarre, and not necessarily in the fun way.

The multiverse stuff doesn't really bother me, since Emerald is technically an alternate version of R/S, but things like naruto-esque natural energy beneath the earth and Sootopolis' origins being retconned feel so weird.

Uh huh, very calm.

The meteor could have easily fallen before humanity was even thing you know.
We had Primal Groudon and Kyogre literally changing the geography of the planet with their shitstorms, a meteor or two during that period wouldn't make much difference.

I want to know how we could try to make it both. Mountains are made by tectonic movement, right?

>>32155997
>The meteor could have easily fallen before humanity was even thing you know.

Except it didn't, it crashed into Earth some 2-3,000 years ago, since AZ was alive to witness it. It's explicitly explained in the Delta episode.

>>32155997
only the symbolic yin yang of Mt. Chimney and Sootopolis is ruined now

>>32156053
To be honest that was pretty ridiculous to begin with.

>>32156049
Oh, then it's retarded.

>>32156053
Symbolic in the sense that they were both volcanoes outside of that there was no connection.
The whole yin yang thing came from pyre and the cave of origin

>>32155467
I have to say give the size, width and shape it would make more sense as a meteor.

>>32155508
I didn't even think of this. Yikes.

>>32155490
Unless it IS the meteor

>>32156130
>both volcanoes outside of that there was no connection

Mt Chimney is at the heart of the mainland and is an active volcano

Sootopolis is a sunken, flooded, dormant volcana at the heart of the Hoennese sea

>>32156181
If it formed some tens of millions of years ago, sure. But given the games explanation, they took the most ridiculous route.

>>32156233
the meteor would sink into the sea, you idiot. If you're suggesting a meteor the size of mauna kea struck the earth to still be visible above the ocean level, then poke earth would never have formed properly to begin with

>>32156256
it can be a very large meteor

>>32155579

you mean like this?

>>32156274
To argue it is the meteor makes it even more retarded than if a meteor formed it. If it were that big most of Hoenn would have been fucked up by the impact, and if it is the meteor why are they living in what's supposedly the impact from a meteor then? Did they just smack each other and form a Mega Fug meteor snowman?

>RSE's theme was the duality of land and sea

meteor's cooler desu, carving a huge hole in the island

pretty shit theme when 70% of the planet is ocean

>>32155467
The volcano erupted at the same time of the impact.

matter and anti-matter are a duality and matter won, what's your point?

>>32155490
the meteor made a hole in an island that was already there, retard

>>32156712
That doesn't explain how Hoenn, and most everything within several hundred miles, are still around after such a clearly powerful impact.

>>32156712
>t. retard not knowing how meteor impacts work

>>32156679
Makes sense since Magma tries to use a Meteorite to make Mt. Chimney erupt, and actually that never really made sense in Ruby and Emerald but suddenly they have reason to believe a Meteorite would cause an eruption

>>32156751
>actually that never really made sense in Ruby and Emerald but suddenly they have reason to believe a Meteorite would cause an eruption

I don't think that was explained in ORAS, and It didn't have much to do with the Delta episode.
