Were they real things from the future/past, or made up somehow by the machine?
made up by the machine
>>57230622come from parallel universe
>>57230622future ones only make sense if they were made by the machine, so by symmetry i assume the same for the past ones
>>57230622they were fucking stupid dexbloat thats what they were
>>57230622The dialogue suggest future/past things from alternate timelines. Many insist they're future/past things from the same timeline though.That said, neither theory properly addresses Heath's Cyclizar which seem to imply there's a change on the pokemon themselves.
>>57230622Does it actually matter? Pokelore changes every game. It often contradicts itself. No matter what the game dialog, plot, or Pokédex entry states there is no true lore or ecology to Pokemon. They’re just pixels.
>>57230706i cant use them unless i know exactly what causes them, i have tism
>>57230622They're from an alternate history where regular Pokemon evolved into them over time
>>57230713how do you evolve into a robot?
>>57230710Fair. It surprises with how autistic Pokemon is with a lot of things and how supremely autistic its fan base is they don’t clean up the dex entries and the actual lore of all individuals mons.
