>>58485129How many times do we need to tell you fucks that Regigigas is a Pokemon, not the last giant! Quit trying to force this meme!
>>58486021Nah, fuck this fucking shithead. My rating dropped from something like 1500 to 5k trying to carry this retarded asshole in Masterball
>>58486119>Forced Meme>Literally the implicit canon in JapanNo amount of Westie tears will ever remove Regigigas from the Japanese Wiki pages for plates. Japan is always canon and English is not.
>>58486187Japanese or not, your fanfiction is not canon
>>58486187>Literally the implicit canon in JapanThis is a hasty and inconsistent conclusion based solely on the name of a Pokedex classification for Regigigas, which happens to be the same word as “giant” mentioned on the plates, but which has absolutely no bearing on anything. It is important to remember this.Remember that classifications have no role in the storyline. Groudon and Torterra are both “Continent” Pokémon and are not related. They have no shared history. Nor are they literal continents. It should be noted that the existence of Blank Plate further destroys the theory, which was already based on very little concrete evidence. This is because the giants were killed to be turned into plates. If Regigigas was one of the giants mentioned on the plates, it is strictly impossible for Blank Plate to exist in its presence.And nothing in Teraleak supports this headcanon because the giants are not Pokémon. What's more, Regigigas is classified as a Pokémon from the earth that has its own trio and is a counterpart to Ho-Oh and Lugia.

>>58486526>If Regigigas was one of the giants mentioned on the plates, it is strictly impossible for Blank Plate to exist in its presence.that's why you only get it after you defeat him
>>58486187ywnbj
>>58486583No, he was holding the Blank Plate simply because he is one of the few bosses in APL to possess this type.Heatran holds the Iron Plate and is not the steel-type giant.Arcanine holds the Flame Plate and is not the fire-type giant.And so on, I'm not going to list them all. But your reasoning is stupid and wrong.
>>58485129Arceus' true form is made of light, my god devours the light.The time of the humanfucker llama will end.
>>58486639my reasoning is smart and correct actually
>>58486526cool retort. Unfortunately it doesn't hold water in Japanese and so the wiki stays with the implication that is only fully visible to someone fluent in Japanese, hence why it is treated as canon by them. No amount of english bantering will change the Japanese minds, which are the only ones that matter when it comes to the canon.
>>58487137How is my answer not valid in Japanese? The plates held by the different Pokémon in APL do not change from one language to another. I listed Arcanine and Heatran, but it works for most other types.You have absolutely no counter-arguments that fully address the subject and the inconsistencies raised. The only thing you can do is repeat over and over that the Japanese believe in this theory and that it's in the Wiki (which is written by fans). However, this is just an argument from authority that has no value in a debate. In other words, you've lost.
>>58486761Actually Arceus' true form is made of breedable flesh (for human men)
Do reginiggers really think that loser is relevant or is it just cope for being the shittiest and most cucked of a group of six legendaries?
Femoid arceus will never be canon as it was scrapped bullshit.
>>58487376That you only assess the situation as a non-japanese speaker, ergo you don't see the nuances of what is conveyed in the game in its mother tongue and why the Japanese online community comes to the conclusion of Regigigas being the same kind of giant as referred to in the plates. You don't understand how characters can convey whole concepts and imply more than just a simple but an entire idea which isn't well translated into English. You just see "Colossal pokemon" and "Giants" as vague synonym that don't have validity of ideas with eachother. But the characters used to convey the flame plate and describe Regigigas show an implicit relationship that is lost in translations, and without understanding japanese you will never get it. You can bang your head against it day after day but you're stuck thinking like an English-bound westie that is unable to think in a different purview that is made self-evident in Japanese to the point the online community directly sees the link you don't in english and makes it so on their wiki.I would implore you to try talking with people on 2chan or any japanese community to come to this realization that your skewed, mistranslated understanding of things isn't all that it is cracked up to be.
>>58487893Its not as though the game doesn't already have a fuckton of things lost in translation still to this day.
>>58485129I prefer Regirock
>>58487893Are you deliberately not understanding?From the beginning, I've been talking about Japanese, not any other language.I know that the term used in the Pokedex classification is the same word used on the plate. I am NEVER talking about the difference between ‘colossal’ and ‘giant’ that you mentioned.In Japanese, Groudon and Torterra have the same classification, which is ‘continent’.>Are Groudon and Torterra the same creature or are they related?No.>Are Groudon and Torterra continents in the literal sense?No.>Does the Pokédex classification play a role in the story and tell us something?No. The classification is just a word used to suggest a theme or a general idea about a Pokémon's appearance based on real-world data such as an animal, a concept, a natural element, etc. This means that the classification means absolutely nothing without lore to back it up.And when I see that the games never give Regigigas that role. Even Teraleak doesn't do it and even goes against fan fiction by making Regigigas a counterpart to Ho-Oh and Lugia, and claiming that giants are not Pokémon. And on top of that, APL adds a Blank Plate that makes the theory impossible. There is literally nothing that supports your argument, even when considering ONLY the Japanese games and Teraleak.
You will never be canon.
>>58488767I'm sorry that you still don't understand the implicit nature of the Hiragana and Kanji used and how they express more than words. Your limited understanding of "same word" isn't sufficient to understand why the Japanese fanbase sees Regigigas as a Giant when it seems like nothing more than a passing synonym when you translate the japanese word into english for your Westie brain to understand.I suggest you stop sucking your own english google translate farts and actually go talk to Japanese people so you can understand the nuance you are missing. I can tell you きょだい"Kyoo~Jin" and きょだい"Kyoo~dai" and how they convey both different parts of speech (Noun vs. Na-adjective) and how one implicates the notion of a race or species or people while the other denotes simply size or structure or form by its character conform, but you don't know or understand these concepts of the nuance of Japanese language that leads people to connect the dots of Regigigas being the same thing spoken of in the Earth plate and Flame plate.It is second nature to see きょだい and read プレートに あたえた ちから たおした きょじんたちの ちから and know they are speaking of the exact same thing: the very specific race of extremely large giants.Again I challenge you to leave your english echo chamber and talk with Japanese fans to see how blatant this is.
Regi-deniers are STILL seething over the lore? KEK.
>>58488945What you haven't understood is that whether we're talking about giants in terms of size or as a race, it doesn't change anything I've described. Especially since giants as a race exist in various real-world mythologies, as well as in popular culture, so it's its own concept, its own thing, even before it existed in the Pokémon media.Classifications may contain names of animals that do not exist in the canon. At least, there were a few clumsy references in the early days, but this has been corrected over time. It's just to give the player a vague idea of the inspiration for a design or theme, without necessarily embodying it in a literal sense. This implies that even though Pokémon has its own giants as a race, and therefore its own interpretation of the myth, the classification itself is more general as a concept and does not really imply any connection, nor that they are the same entities until proven otherwise.You can say whatever you want, but your theory is based on nothing concrete. There is nothing but this sad classification that means everything and nothing. You have no dialogue in the games to support your headcanon, Teraleak also goes against it, and APL is nothing more than the final nail in the coffin with Blank Plate. The facts are there, you can't run away forever.
>>58489358You're confusing lore and fanfiction. In this case, Regignosis is not canon.
The giant race that pulls the continents lmao
