So we've seen ribbons being actual physical objects in pokemon lore, but do we even know what the hell marks are supposed to be?
they describe the pokemon's personality. no clue if they exist in the world
>>59520277>>59520331Marks are also physically on the Pokémon just like Ribbons. A physical marking on the Pokémon's body. How is that not obvious?
>>59521444source?
>>59520277What the hell is wrong with Torchic's face?
>>59521540It has down syndrome
>>59521444This is probably what it is, but it's also extremely stupid and not as interesting or as fun as ribbons.
>>59521444With ribbons you'd be able to tell a Pokemon got one for entering the hall of fame or winning a contest just by looking at the ribbonA birthmark wouldn't exactly carry information like that in the same way
>>59522077Whatever they are, they aren't birthmarks given pokemon can get them later in life for doing things like eating a ton.
>>59522095The Japanese term translates to evidence/proof, as in proof of an achievement
>>59520277I'd say to think of it like a tattoo
when the pokemon gets tatt'd
>>59524035>>59524271...made by who?
