clearly says the arceus that is manifested in front of the player is only a part of himself. he even says that when gifting the player arceus.
>>
>>59041387
No, he's referring to Legends Plate before giving it to the player.

And as good as the Mystery Dungeon series is, it's not even canon to the mainline game.

It seem you're not realising the obvious nonsense which comes from characters who are the one omnipotent omnipresent omniscient being of the whole canon.

The whole thing with PLA showing the Pokémon self of Arceus that we see is a mere formality makes every anti-feat of the Pokémon self of Arceus irrelevant. And on top of that, PMD likely isn't even canon. Really, a series having a character like Arceus needs to be done with care, which as your example shows, sometimes is not done with Arceus.

>No, he's referring to Legends Plate before giving it to the player.
Right after mentioning that its give the player a part of itself, it then says about walking together with the player and seeing the world as the player sees it.
>>
>>59043580
Except that the part of him isn't Arceus, but rather the Plate.

This Plate has a different appearance from all the others, because it didn't originate from the defeated elemental giants. It has a unique appearance reminiscent of Arceus and is imbued with the essence of all creation (which corresponds to the essence of Arceus, The Creator of All Things).

Arceus isn't God because GameFreak are the true Gods of Pokemon. They literally self-insert so they can talk about how they made the game you're playing right now or battle you with their favorite creations.
They just stopped doing this around the time they began emphasizing Arceus's lore importance because it would be ill-fitting in PLA for incredibly obvious "detracts from Arceus itself" reasons, and there's almost no interiors in modern Pokemon so they didn't have a good place to squeeze in the GameFreak zone in SV or LZA.

Headcanon, Shinou is like this Frog from HomeStuck; It's basically the personification of the Universe itself.

At no point or in any lore does it ever say Arceus is omnipotent. That's just fan shit people people call it the god pokemon. Arceus just made a few eggs.

Arceus is more like the embodiment of the beginning. It's like the Big Bang of the Pokémon universe!

That's why it's the Alpha Pokémon and why it's called "the creator of all things" or "the original one." Even its etymology in Teraleak refers to the beginning.

It creates other entities that allow the formation of the universe through the expansion of space and the flow of time. At this point, it's simply based on scientific physics.
>>
>>59046386
Yeah that's the fan shit I was talking about. Arceus made Palkia, Dialga, and Giritina eggs. Then later it sent the PLA player back in time. That's the full list of everything Arceus can do in actual canon.
>>
>>59046386
The lore does states that both the creation trio and the lake trio originated from them. Plus the Sintoh ruins event does include Unoun to help in the birth of one of the former trios. One could even say that the plates were pieces of them as well.

>As thou walkest onward upon thine own path... Upon thee...and upon this creation where thou now dwellest... I bestow my blessing.
>And I bestow upon thee a part of myself. I would walk this world together with thee. Show me how it appeareth in thine eyes."
You motherfuckers need to start playing the games AND paying attention to them. The blessing is the Legend plate, the "part of myself" is Arceus' canonical avatar which joins the player after defeating Arceus in Its realm.

The way they present it at the very start of L: A as a giant glowing ball of light, from the human's perspective absolutely SCREAMS "creature operating on a higher plane of existence" never mind that being pop culture shorthand for depicting direct interactions between deities and normal fucking base humans (not demi-gods or other, who can fully comprehend the true forms of their universes' pantheon of Gods). And then you consider the Batman gambit Arceus set up - Tasking Cogita with helping Its Champion, recognising Volo's threat when he shows up, pulling Ingo to Hisui to join the Pearl clan and ultimately guide Its Champion and then dragging the human, who'd stopped some sperg retard's plot to destroy the world as he had a sad, to the land to meet It and prove his worth to It, while stopping some sperg retard's plot to destroy the world as he has a sad as a by-product. You want to believe Arceus can't be omnipotent, grand. But canonically, it is. That's why it trusted the humans it chose to be able to stop the human It did not want to legitimise by appearing to squish him Itself. Because It knew humans working in concert with pokémon can surmount all obstacles they face, just as the Ancient Hero had done to prove his worth to Arceus.

You can make as many inferences as you want from the story Masuda has said it’s explicitly not a god

Masuda was gone by the time they released Arceus, which DID explicitly state it is God of the pokémon world. I shouldn't have to tell you new canon material that contradicts a years-old statement in fact de-canonises the older statement to replace it with the new information, but here we fucking are, me explaining to a fucktarded spastic that new canon material has in fact stated Arceus is God by showing it akin to ALL other "human meets being of such a higher existence it appears only as an esoteric concept" pop culture examples (and some IRL assertions of a God's appearance to humans) right at the start of the game, before then referencing its in-universe avatar as It sends the human from Its realm "located beyond time and space" and finally joining the human at the end, in the physical realm in Its in-universe guise to see how Its Champion beheld the lands It directed its underlings to create.
>>
>>59046994
Or that simply using too much force can cause irreparable damage to both the spirits and matter to that plane of existence; thus it purposely limits itself in the physical realm and "nudge" others to do its bidding to minimize casualties and deal with it in a most effiecent way possible.The original DPPt and their remakes shows this with Cyrus using the Red chain to force two of the creation trio to rewrite the universe, only for a failsafe to activate and stopped him from doing so. None of the Legendaries/Mythicals (especially ones that the Player Character captured) are willing to unleash their full power because doing so will destroy the world that they're living on.

Is it being omnipotent a real thing? I got the impression that Arceus was originally more akin to Shinto deities and that parallels between it and the Abrahamic God was just a Western headcanon.
