So Darkrai is abritrarily good or bad depending on the incarnation and (as Executor pointed) timeline where he is, making him the biggest bipolar in existence because he has a single backstory since there's no evidence of them existing at all. Are you paying attention or do I need to explain this this to you slower?
Now we suddenly reject profiles for plot devices, McGuffins, Gary Stus and a lot of other cliche just because they are all bad writing. Biggest lol.
I haven't seen every movie. That's why I'm asking you, dude.
If the Mewtwo is different (because the question was if Femewtwo remembered Ash, not the other way around) then it's a clear case of a different individual with a clear difference (that you can claim it's because Megas didn't exist back at that year). But the fact that two different characters have the same background despite being portrayed different than the first, with a different capability, no mention of the story shared with the prota (or that's what you're making me think since you're not adressing this correctly) then it's pretty clear to me that this case isn't applicable for a species.
Yeah, just like how we treat Pikachu as one, or the other Lucarios. See? Double standard. Said Mewtwo is very different from the others and your response it's "oh, it's an outlier". Same with Femewtwo, and I don't remember the PokeSpe manga, but just from the whole psy spoon which isn't adressed in the first movie (at least) leads me to think that these are different characters that share a same species. Like a bunch of clones, literally.
Your argument relies on "oh, he has no backstory, he's an asspull", but that's not an argument. Tell me which characters' profiles have been deleted because of this. How many?
Obviously misleading the point to not face the fact that Tob's Darkrai isn't comparable to his fellow Darkrais. Good.
So that Darkrai's DV can be resisted or nulled. Good. More evidence of it being different from the normal Darkrais. What else? Tell me so the profiles creation are much easier.
At this point I'm arguing for different incarnations based on feats and powers if the backstory isn't enough. That or just nuking the whole composite shit that contradicts our rules. Pokémon only gets a free pass because the profiles are made for the species, but these are clearly different individuals sharing the same species only.
If the move is used differently in different media, then yeah, different depiction. It doesn't need to devolve into the fundamentals of the move, like the effects and shit. Just looking that one Darkrai can use DV with a thought and the rest of them need either a portal or a beam is enough to qualify as different portrayals. You don't need to be rocket scientist to understand this.
I'm more inclined to believe Executor's version that includes the multiversal theory. Makes more sense when you think about it and would explain every different portrayal much better than just assuming everything exists in the same world.
Totally different mindsets and different power applications. Yeah, totally the same character.
If Darkrai is truly an unique legendary, then each version belongs to its own continuity rather than just doing all that shit in the same timeline because he's James McAvoy now.
The solution is simple. Darkrai must not be treated as a composite. You're treating it in vs threads like he can switch ideologies and the way it uses its powers like it has a button to do it. Which is pitiful, if you ask me.
