The Principal Difficulty Of Having A Pokémon Pick Up Your Groceries For You Isn’t Getting It To Understand

Me after Scarlet and Violet

Give your reasons in the tags!

Why are taxi drivers either the slowest motherfuckers you've ever had the pleasure of sharing a vehicle with

Or

Drive like their in a Hollywood car chase so you get thrown around like popcorn in a popcorn machine

A curiosity test to explain some cultural context, bias, why some things go more viral than others, or simply curiosity.

(reblog if possible for more data).

The time machine showing more of a wishful past or future could possibly feed into obsession.

Imagine that you've dedicated years to build a time machine and then it not only works, but shows you exactly what you want. It could make you want to keep going back to the time machine to try and prove yourself as much as possible or (specifically for the future) trying to make that perfect future as much as possible because you've already seen it.

Even if that future isn't real, just your wish.

The ability to create a vicious cycle with your wish and constantly trying to make it come true because it feels so real.

That could possibly be an explanation for Sada and Turo ignoring Arven and staying in the lab, an obsession with their wishes.

Obsession comes up a few times throughout Scarlet and Violet. Nemona with her battling, Arven with healing Mabosstiff and the Herba Mystica, and the professors with their research. (obsession might be too strong of a word and Arven and Nemona have solid reasons for theirs)

Like a moth drawn to the flame. That might explain why there are so many moths in Area Zero.

Hello! I have a sv question for you!

(Apologies if you have already answered something similar)

Turo/Sada’s time travel machine came up in conversation between me and a friend, and I mentioned out loud the ‘imagination machine’ theory, and the more we talked about it the more it made sense!

The theory is that rather than being a true link to the past/future, the machine only leads to what the operator wants it to lead to. This would explain why sada and turo’s versions of the machine are visually the same, why all the past/future pokemon have very similar traits (past pokemon all being extra spiky/dinosaur looking and future pokemon all having the same chrome & jointed look), and why there is no mention of hisui/hisuian pokemon in Sada’s research. It also explains why the pokemon seem to fit very well into the environment (too well, but the paradox pokemon aren’t on the bad end of that) and why all versions of the pokemon are found in a wacky occult magazine.

Please keep in mind we haven’t seen masters or dlc content, but if anything in there supports/denies the theory please do not hesitate to share!!

Also I apologise for the length of this ask, but Thankyou for reading!!!

No worries abt the length! Half my posts are under a readmore bc I'm longwinded so I get it haha. Anyway, totally agreed, there is no way in hell it's an actual time machine

Like you said, the time machines function identically and seem to have pokemon based on modern fictional interpretations rather than actual prehistoric pokemon. They resemble scifi costumes or children's dinosaur drawings more than actual genuine creatures, and I think that goofiness is supposed to be a clue that these are made from the professor's ideas of paradise rather than a genuine time machine

Not only that, but the whole game seems very centered around wishes moreso than time. It does have a lot of components of legacy, and you do get dialogue about "the future of Paldea" and whatnot, but most of the dialogue seems focused around treasure, wishes, and wants rather than time. It also makes more sense when you think about Terapagos-- it seems way more like a wish pokemon than a time pokemon, and since the tera crystals are powering the time machine anyway, I would hazard a guess that the entire thing is a wish granting machine. I also think that would elevate the themes of the professor's storyline-- hunting for treasure and wishes gone wrong, etc etc.

Anyway tldr I'm with you, I don't think it's a time machine I think it's a wish machine. DLC might contradict this so we'll see! Masters can suck it tho that game means nothing to me

just created this creature i think im gonna turn him into a sticker

PokePinion-Tober 12-15

So I may have missed a few days, but I'm here now.

So far we've done: Dragalge, Skuntank, Cramorant, Lechonk, Delibird, Eglyem, Dusclops, Axew, Bulbasaur, Raticate, and Hattrem

12 Dratini

Noodle!

This is probably in my top 10 favourites from Gen 1, because it's a noodle. The nose is so big compared to the itty bitty face.

It's so small and so precious. It looks so smooth, like a noodle.

8/10. Noodle

13 Pincurchin

He looks so done with everyone's bullshit.

It's very small and I like that. The two littles balls at the front of the face is odd, but in a cute way. Also the eyes being downward arrows is cute.

I would hate to step on him.

7/10. Prickly little guy.

14. Clefairy

Look at how pink it is!!! I love the little blush stickers and the hair curl and the little tooth!

This is my little baby. I also enjoy the Clefairy minigame in Pokémon Stadium, as frustrating as it can be

8/10. Baby pink thing

15. Tympole

I like the music elements in the design. The little eyebrows look like notes, and it looks like it's wearing headphones.

The blue they used is very fresh and compliments the black accents. Cute, but honestly kind of forgettable to me as I usually use Oshawott in Unova and only in two other game sets (ORAS, and SwSh)

6/10. Above average, but forgettable.

I honestly think it's Mela for some rambly reasons below

There was a very small shot in a previous trailer with who looks like Giacomo.

Like that looks like Giacomo, but in a new uniform. The height in comparison to the player and the hair is so similar that you can't really deny it

So that gives at least some precedence that Team Star may appear.

2. The hair colour. Sure they could have literally have given any character the same hair colour, but then we would have three characters in this game with the same shade of bright red (Mela, Crispin, and this new girl) and I don't think they would do that. The length is also very similar to Mela with it being around the shoulder is she straitened it.

3 The mystery. The shot I references above what basically a blip in the trailer and quite easy to miss but very obviously Giacomo.

While this one got a focus in the end of the trailer but is very vague as to who it's actually supposed to be. They showed other new characters and drastic changes to previous ones (*cough* Kieran *cough*) so the vagueness is kind of weird unless it's an important new character.

I also don't know why if it was Mela, she would be in the usual Naranja uniform instead of the weird blue one that Giacomo is in.

Or all of what I said above is completely wrong and I'm gonna look stupid in a week.

....okay so. Either that's Mela. Or Penny. Or an entirely new character. Either way. Whomst.

Dark. Very dark

I want to see a fucked up team star au that they never met cassiopeia, and never created team star together and... no teacher knows they're bullied. They're all fucked up more then now.

Tw for violence and sucide implied

What if giacomo joined the real group of bad students to avoid the bullying?

What if mela explodes and beating one bully neary death?

What if atticus push one of the bully from the rooftop?

What if ortega ended up with accuse the academy?

What if eri dropout the academy and trying to hide her pain alone?

And what if... penny trying to end her life?

God it’s so dark
