Pokemon Discussion Thread - Red & Blue arc

Edited.

You're right.... I overlooked that. I also made some minor changes, where Masuda describes what the DW really was. Check that out for me
Looks fun to me. Though I, personally, can't decide if what Giratina is displaying is NEP nature 1 or nature 3.

Maybe.... I'm not sure. I'll ask Q and A

Masuda's description is that of material Non-existence, as he's basically the reflection on the lake, an illusion.. Illusions are type 1 iirc. Abstractly, he doesn't even have a physical form anyway, but he's nothing and the concept of it

Though there is also the whole thing with "Does exist, but doesn't. Doesn't exist, but does." That does imply Type 3.
 
Well, mind, emotions, willpower are seperate from the soul they wished into existence, but they're somewhat tied to it

Giratina would be NEP nature type 1 and 3 as he predates those. I'm not too sure about mind tho, but the creation story clearly showed predation so yh

Likely aspect type 2 for being nothing and the concept of it

I have always seen spirit as the fusion of mind, will and emotions. Not as a separate thing, since those are the powers of LT. In fact, the Hiker says that the spirit permits to perceive the world, while Cogita refers specifically to the mind.

Yes, aspect type 2 is also appropriate for Giratina.

Yes this is true. Is the soul attached to this? That part isn't clear to me

You're right about this

👍
 
Yes. That is especially true when you check the Pokedex entries, spirits are used interchangeably with ghosts or souls.
 
BTW, what do we make of the fact that Masuda confirmed(kinda) that Ash doesn't exist in the games.

Means the anime is entirely seperate thing if we take his word for it

doesn't really matter, anime and manga are secondary canon either way. Not to mention that that claim contradicts itself in the fact that Ash-greninja exists and it comes from Ash but i digress

Ash-Greninja was only a form of fan service for anime fans. It has nothing to do with the games' lore, like the event of Pikachu with the cap.
 
I'm with you on this one. And also the anime takes far too many liberties with the game's lore and stuff. Like ghost types getting hit by normal attacks for example

I ain't trying to argue that it is not that but the fact that it exists means that the existenxe of Ash is acknowledged in the games even a little.
 
Anyways, i think i might rescale a lot of legendaries...

In short, Groudon and Kyogre matches a hyper beam from Rayquaza in the manga, suggesting that Groudon+ Kyogre = Rayquaza so they have about half of his power.

Didn't base Rayquaza beat their Primals, simultaneously?
 
Uhhh, Giratina isn't affected by the clusterfuck system of the Distortion world, is that resistances to chaos manipulation or Acausality, or resistance to law manipulation

The rules of the Distortion World are made by him, so it makes no sense that they could harm him (the rules are part of himself, after all). Rather, one might consider the change in the shape of his avatar (altered form) as a way to adapt to the rules made by Palkia and Dialga in the normal world, so perhaps a form of adaptability? However, it is not very clear.
