We got like, 34 non-stuff approvals, so not neededWell, if four staff members have accepted this, it is probably fine to apply, but I could ask more Pokemon supporters among the staff to come here if you wish.

Uhm the pros are DDM, Eficiente, Kieran, Ned and Saman, you're the one against tbfStaff seems split, though admittedly most of the ones against the upgrade haven't given much reason why. Though there are more against than pro.
I won't be able to participate much soon enough, so I'll probably switch to neutral or pro in a bit. Got PMM revisions, HW, a yugioh thread, and another Pokemon revision to look after.
Which. Doesn't. Matter.Professor
...And how they were written in regards of the theme of "ultimate".
Which is wrong as we take them to literally be what they represent. Giratina doesn't conflict with that.Most of the content being hype material and describing his thought process. Especially since, when he mentions Dialga and Palkia as being representative of substance it's obviously not to be taken literally, as Giratina exists in contrast.
Which is speaking specifically towards the lore and storyline of the games. Meaning he's speaking about the verse and not simply hype.No its spoken from the point of view that he wanted to make the ultimate game, hyping up the elements of time and space by calling them infinite.
You mean the member of the trio who's known to be forgotten in lore in-universe?Again, then how does anti-matter (a substance) fit here? It's just hyping them up, unless you want to argue Giratina was created by Dialga / Palkia or something.
Trust me, check the previous posts, is full of agreements from also supportersSomebodyData:
Okay. Never mind then. Should I call more knowledgeable staff members here?
Everything didn't comment anymore to counter, Eficiente just said that "likely 2-A" is legitStrym
Everything12 and Eficiente (From what I can tell, he still disagreed with some elements / don't think he agreed with 39.53 million multiverses) and Saman is just "likely / possible" last time I checked
Everything gave no reason to disagree and Eficiente's small bit came from an argument I debunked both in the blog and in this thread.Strym

Verses that have actual context supplied for them to make up for an outright statement you want spoon-fed to you? Its as I said to Saman. Something falling short of one thing doesn't mean it doesn't qualify.
And our standards don't work like this either where an outright "X statement" is needed to get to the tier in the first place.
We have given proof that this means infinite universes because space and time, in this context, refers to parallel universes. Said space and time that is infinite. Which brings us to infinite universes. That brings us to 2-A.
So yes, your point here is bullshit. Context supports this being 2-A.
Yes and my blog also gives an explanation for why it would be infinite. Read it again.
Which doesn't since Giratina's lore is explicitly hidden behind the scenes in-universe as opposed to Dialga and Palkia. So no, he didn't forget. Its because Giratina is precisely treated this way in-universe.Professor
This is an interview about Platinum, at best he forgot and isn't a reliable source in this interview at worst he remembers Giratina considering he's the main legendary of the game and this proves my point.
Which isn't needed. Context provides that.You're trying to prove a verse has infinite universes when it clearly has no statements of there being infinite universes.
Space = parallel universesYour arguments do not prove there are infinite universes at all.
It very much is. That is putting obstacles that our standards don't abide by, and if they did, half the verses on this site wouldn't be in the tiers they are now.It's just not cutting it. Asking for a direct statement or showing confirming it is not spoon-feeding.
Nothing here is speculation when all of this supporting evidence brought together equates to the same result.At best all you've proven is that pokemon may have infinite multiversal space and time. Perhaps you can argue that having infinite multiversal space and time can warrant the tier upgrade, but you have no hard evidence for infinite parallel universes, just speculations based on descriptions of current universes.
Its not a reach when its material coming from in-universe lore of what its considered as.You have not proven in anyway that within the context that those statements were made in (Masuda's statement, TCG description) they were specifically talking about an infinite multiverse. That's a reach.
We don't need them to be. Thats a stonewalling argument.You have only proven that space in pokemon can be a reference to the multiverse. But in no way have you shown that these references were specifically about the multiverse.
And your argument is devoid of anything that suggests it isn't.Your explanation again, is devoid of anything stating that caves link to infinite universes or that there is an infinite chain of universe.
Speaking about the lore and mythology and what it is in said game is not hype. That is a copout.Okay, let's say you're right. Which still shows he's hyping up the main two. It doesn't really change much.
And who cares? Thats one unrelated aspect of what Masuda is speaking about.The substance statement is in the same paragraph as the upgrading sentence
Good thing none of this is hype then., if he's hyping them up in the paragraph it'd be hard-pressed to say he isn't in one exact sentence.
You also said infinite space.Greenshifter
No? Most fictions have infinite time in their timelines with MWI, it'd still be 2-C to 2-B.
Again, then how does anti-matter (a substance) fit here? It's just hyping them up, unless you want to argue Giratina was created by Dialga / Palkia or something.
Im ignoring it because its not an issue just because you say it is. The substance has nothing to do with the scale of time and space being infinite Somebody.Stop trying to ignore the issue. He is hyping them up by calling them masters of all substance which we definitely not is not true.
It doesn't, because its an unrelated explanation.If the paragraph is full of flowery language, discussion about the theme of creating the 'ultimate pokemon' experience, and hyping them up; it matters. A lot.
From you? Yes.Denial at this point.
No offense Ant, but it was really unnecessary.@The_real_cal_howard @Saikou_The_Lewd_King @Starter_Pack @GyroNutz @Elizhaa @Dino_Ranger_Black @Dragonmasterxyz @WeeklyBattles @Colonel_Krukov @Shadowbokunohero @Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan @Firestorm808
Would you be willing to help evaluate this please?
But they are on the profiles lmfao, you even agreed with itStop trying to ignore the issue. He is hyping them up by calling them masters of all substance which we definitely know not is not true.
Good thing its not hype. And isn't hype just because you say so.Professor
We don't upgrade characters on hype and that's final.
We very much do so. If you disagree, get it done in a CRT, otherwise its meaningless here.We do not consider Palkia and Dialga as representative / masters of substance. The very idea of it is contradicted by Giratina.
You've been here long enough to know disagreeing votes don't matter when they don't have any reasoning behind them. Which is what we're facing here other than you.And everyone you guys conveniently ignored. I mean, it'd be less blatant if you at least wrote down the opposition too.
You did here on the second point, plus all what I said beforeStrym
I repeated several times now how its flowery language based on the consistent usage of the word 'Ultimate' while Masuda regularly referred it back to his vision of creating the ultimate pokemon game.
I see. Again, not a problem, as I completely agree. I'm just pointing out they're not the sole representations of substance.
Again, same paragraph and the same topic, it's both in reference of creating the ultimate pokemon game.
No, lol. You literally said you agreed. I did tell you to refresh your memoryAnd I countered the frail "debunk".
What you've done here is the very definition of taking something out of context. No it isn't. Stitching sentences together to misrepresent the original meanings is completely and utterly unacceptable and palpable if I might add.It's not when they aren't being taken out of context and are very clear with what they mean. And pulling different supporting evidences together to form an arugment is 1000% allowed. Thats the basics to debating.
No I mean fake feats. Feats that do not exist.You mean using fake scans, which none of this here is the case.
Prove it.Which refers to the number of universes as Space
There is no evidence. A completely unrelated conversation about parallel universes cannot be taken as evidence about the meaning of the words "infinite space" on an inscription halfway across the world. Why do you think that I've been asking you to give me a single source where these two phrases have ever been used together?from the given evidence
Unrelated trite. The point was that you made the illogical argument that sounded as if the existence of the multiverse depended on whether or not it had been described on a rock. I was merely correcting that statement.It isn't because its part of the lore, which is, you know, perfectly viable evidence here.
So what? So the existence of the multiverse doesn't depend on whether or not "infinite space" refers to an infinite multiverse or not, thereby invalidating that line of reasoning.Okay? So what? This is another part of said evidence that alludes to this. This is not hard to understand.
It really really does. We can follow your line of reasoning and jump to any number of faulty conclusions.And again, that doesn't matter
You are yet to prove that it does. You have attempted to do so through your "the multiverse would not exist if the rock isn't referring to parallel universes" interpretation and I have utterly debunked that.when this is all evidence that's referring to the same thing.
Either the statements support a given interpretation or they don't. Anything else is speculative at best. In short, you are still describing fan-fiction.Space can be considered more than x or more than y of what's given from each statement.
I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean.You don't dictate what evidence is what.
This is irrelevant when we know that physically anti-matter is reliant on Palkia to exist. So them being masters of substance is not contradicted by Giratina existing, since Giratina couldn’t exist without them.It's pretty clear by how Giratina is written to be independent of Palkia that anti-matter's nature on relying on space isn't important to the creation trio.
Issue is that on the profiles they areThat was in response to what you said: "Dialga and Palkia are in short accepted as being the representation of Space and Time of the Pokémon reality." not the other.
Well, I said as "possibly".Eficiente supports the "likely 2-A" as well
Space = parallel universes
Said space is infinite.
Infinite parallel universes.
That is 2-A.
And your argument is devoid of anything that suggests it isn't.
Well, it doesn't change much between likely and possibly (tho I prefer likely), but even possibly can go tbhWell, I said as "possibly".
