The Time Machine Showing More Of A Wishful Past Or Future Could Possibly Feed Into Obsession.

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

PokePinion-Tober: 10 + 11

Time for another double feature! I honestly like these more so they may become more frequent instead of singles.

So far we’ve done: Dragalge, Skuntank, Cramorant, Lechonk, Delibird, 

10. Raticate

PokePinion-Tober: 10 + 11

It’s a rat.

That’s literally all I have to say about this thing. Like, it’s not even cute like other early route normal things. 

Sure it’s not bad early game, getting moves like Hyper Fang early is always good, but it’s so ugly.

4/10. Just no.

11 Hattrem

PokePinion-Tober: 10 + 11

Cute!

I love this whole line and the concept behind them and Hattrem is super cute!

Can you tell I like cute things?

The blue and pink together make me think of candy floss, which is always good. I like who it moves around on its hair, it looks very ridiculous but it works pretty well. 

Also the big pretty eyes. 

7/10. Cutie Patootie that must be protected.

WE BACK.

so far we've done: Dragalge, Skuntank, Cramorant, Lechonk, Delibird, Elgyem, Dusclops, and Axew.

9 Bulbasaur

Pokepinion-Tober 9

The very first Pokémon in the dex, and my god what a beginning. This little guy is always who I pick in a Kanto playthrough. He's just super cute.

I like the green colours they chose, they invoke the grassiness of Bulbasaur, while still being nice looking. He's also smiling! Look at that smile.

7/10. Very classic. Very cute.

Sex ed... It happened.

So... I was in class today with my friend, and it was Sex ed.

We were doing Kahoot! and just hanging out until this question came up: "What would happen if the testosterone levels in a female rises?" or something along those lines-

Then somebody asked my teacher "Wait, does this mean a girl can grow a penis if they have more testosterone?"

Then, my teacher had to explain to the WHOLE class, that girls can't grow a penis if that happens.

(Right after that, somebody though people pooped through their urethra.)

Pokepinion-tober: 1, 2, and 3

Yes I know that it's the third. shush.

Every day of this month I'm gonna randomly generate a Pokémon and give some thoughts on it.

1: Dragalge

Pokepinion-tober: 1, 2, And 3

I like it enough. The whole idea of a literal sea dragon is pretty neat, same as Kingdra. I like that despite it being aquatic it's not a water type. Also a not overly draconic dragon is good, unlike many I prefer the less draconic dragon types y'know? They feel more creative.

Colours are nice. The shiny is really cool too because it ads a splash of green to it which makes it pop quite a bit. Strong without being too overpowered.

And this funky little dude photosynthesizes. Read this dex entry from Shield.

Dragalge generates dragon energy by sticking the plume on its head out above the ocean’s surface and bathing it in sunlight.

How could it get any cooler?

7/10. Not my favourite dragon type or poison type, but a very solid design that makes me happy.

2: Skuntank

Pokepinion-tober: 1, 2, And 3

Be honest, when was the last time any of y'all thought about Skuntank?

I mean, it's a skunk. There isn't that much I can honestly say about it. It deviates enough from an average skunk to still be interesting but it's still just a skunk

A skunk that can make flamethrowers. I get that Pokémon is a fantasy game but, like, why? I know that you can light your farts on fire but why can skunk do that?

Why can it also learn explosion? Can farts explode?

*quick google search later*

Ok so apparently you can, but it's not easy.

5/10. It's just kind of a skunk.

3: Cramorant

Pokepinion-tober: 1, 2, And 3

Just look at this idiot and say that you hate him. I dare you. You can't.

Like sure it's really average design and stat wise, but it's so goofy. Loom at the wide eyed stare, the stupid wing position, how close the feet are.

Also the shiny form literally references a real story of a pigeon that got covered in curry. That's so silly.

And it's ability! Like sure the Arrokuda reference is fine and funny and all,

BUT

When he gets to low HP, this dumbass starts choking on a Pikachu

Pokepinion-tober: 1, 2, And 3

9/10. SO SILLY. I can't hate it. Every time I see a Cramorant I want to smile because the little lad it so funny to me

Pokepinion-tober: 16-21

I'm back from the dead

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

16 Crabrawler

Pokepinion-tober: 16-21

Huh

I mean I think a punching crab is hilarious but I never think about Crabrawler that much. The colours are pretty nice I guess because blue and purple go together really nicely.

But the half closed eye and pompadour looking thing is weirding me out a little.

6/10. Odd, but kinda cute I guess

17 Whismur

Pokepinion-tober: 16-21

I love.

Like the round pink body is so stupidly cute! And the floopy ears and nervous little mouth. The eyes!.

This is one of my favourite lines from Hoenn in general and whismur is just such a cute little baby!

8/10. My child

18 Grimer

Pokepinion-tober: 16-21

Eh.

I like Grimer slightly more than Muk because it's a little bit cuter but it has literally nothing else going for it.

4/10. Ew

19 Sawsbuck

Pokepinion-tober: 16-21

Sure, it's a pretty basic deer, but the seasonal horns are pretty neat. This is my go-to grass type in Unova, besides Snivy of course. My favourite of the forms is the winter one. but the spring one is also nice with the flowers.

It looks very majestic. King of the forest type vibe.

7/10. Very cool.

20 Meowstic

Pokepinion-tober: 16-21

Honestly, it's kinda cute. I like the colouring of it and the blue they chose is very regal. I like the male a little more because of the blue being more prominent.

I also like the flopped over ears on this guy.

7/10. Psycat

21 Overqwil

Pokepinion-tober: 16-21

I feels odd.

Like I agree that Qwilfish needed an evolution as much as the next guy, but I don't like Overqwil

The huge puffy lips really don't look nice to me. The colours are nice, but that's really the only nice thing I can say about it.

5/10. Eh
