Someone give me a RATIONAL argument. Please. Because NO ONE has even humored me. Instead of banning this topic without even hearing it, why don't you actually debate for once? This is what I was talking about Dragon. Making a CRT was pointless-- even if I agree with what you guys are saying about how ridiculous the claim is-- trust me, I do-- it doesn't matter how ridiculous something is. If it's true, it's true.
God, how many times do I have to say "Fallacy". Or is no one here rational.

Quantity of times a feat has been done does not make it legit. Otherwise let's make Pokémon 9-B due to having to learn a special move to be able to cut down trees.

And there we fo woth multiversal magikarp again. Honestly, I'm tired of this too. Or no one is reading the arguments correctly, or they are letting what they think is being said come through their minds instead of the things that is ACTUALLY being said.

"But any trainer who has been demonstrated to catch Arceus (hypothetically speaking) is Arceus's level with his pokémon. Or at least "possibly"."LephyrTheRevanchist said:
^ I heavily disagree with this. These trainers or the Pokemon they use have no place being on Arceus's level. And using game mechanics, constant scaling or similar PIS cases you can get to everyone being Multiversal. Which I am extremely against.
There was also Kukui's suggestion (which I know he disagrees with but still the argument he brought up) of "every single trainer and their mother's pokemon are 2-C/2-B in scaling" which is primarily what I was opposing.

Hell, you can't even argue it only goes for the people who caught the CT. This would literally apply to any capable trainer with a pokeball PERIOD.
Even more reason why this is complete crap.

There's no Fallacy here, Amexim. Stop putting yourself into a pedestal and looking down at everyone as if you are an intellectual god, and stop trying to appel to unbiased rationality. If it is by unbiased rationality that we must play, then you would agree that the upgrade is nonsense.

If we are talking about consistency then pokemon will probably go to tier 7 at most.

I don't need to read a manga to know that capturing Arceus and scaling Pikachu to the Creation Trio is pants-on-head-stupid.TheJ-ManRequiem said:

Agreeing with amexim.
And Kukui, stop taking him capturing via out of context.

What fallacy? The fact that this is an obvious PIS, contradicted by literally every single scene that can be taken even slightly seriously?
What a shitstorm. We should make a rule against this.

@Amexim I dont really care either way, but the way you keep screaming fallacy is really annoying and is adding nothing despite the fact that you seem to think you are bringing up the most points.

Also, IDK why we're even talking about capturing Arceus when, in-game, Arceus isn't even catchable without an event....

@Ryukama
This thread is a complete mess. If you don't mind, and want to continue the discussion, I will go to your wall.
Anyways... Amexim is not arguing to use game mechanics or scale to anyone other than those that has actually fought the dude with that pokémon and scale, as long as it is not inconsistent.

Uh kep, litterally hundreds of instances with dozens not being contradicted.

THAT MAKES IT EVEN WORSE. You are trying to argue that capturing Arceus is legit when it is an obvious game mechanic. And even then, if the trainers capture Arceus that means that their Pokémon Party would be 2-B. Which could be composed of Lv.99 Magikarps for all we know.
And the Pokeballs are suddenly capable of containing 2-B energies and now the Pokémon Civilization it is so advanced that their humanity whose tech is only somewhat better than hours has multiversal weaponry.
Man, **** the Time Lords. Pokémon Earth is where its at.

Blatant false equivalency. If there was a manga with Magikarp as its lead character and he went through numerous training arcs and powering ups, going from fighting fodder to mid-tiers, to strong Pokémon like Charizard and Tyranitar, and the final fight was Magikarp vs Arceus, I'd accept scaling that Magikarp to 2-B.
Not the Magikarp which you grinded to Lv.99 to be able to beat Arceus in gameplay.

Trainers can't train their Pokémon to the level of GODS, no matter if they're Cynthia, Lucas, Platinum, because they always go back to being comparable to people literally multiple degrees of infinity weaker in a continuous story. And before people bring up that Lucario, his story ended right after that feat, it was a completely separate continuity, and lost a fight (without it being on purpose) once.

@Amexim
The very fact your arguing trainers catching them alone proves that it goes for everyone, not just specifics.
If one trainer is able to do it, the others would to. And nothing else says otherwise.
And your condescending attitude toward this is starting to get annoying. I suggest you take it down a notch before your kicked from here.

No. I'm not. What the ****? Stop putting words in my mouth like you in my argument.
Stop being whiney little children, calm down, and actually logically assess something. Just because it's absurd doesn't mean it's false.
And that's exactly why I keep shouting fallacy. Because you guys refuse to be rational-- but would be quick to ban me when I heckle you and ad hominem you for not being rational here when you debate other threads.

@Lephry Basically this ^Matthew Schroeder said:
No one should be on Arceus's level. That's like basic in the lore of Pokemon. And this "trainer" and their "Pokemon" can be essentially anyone. Or you can go ahead and scale those certain Pokemon to other ones, then other ones, then other ones until you eventually get everyone to 2-B. And just because he doesn't want everyone to become 2-B, does not mean that isn't the consequence of his suggestion.

I'll say it again.
If this was accepted (i'm against this for the record), you get stuff like Cynthia's Garchomp being ridiculously stronger than Giratina.
This doesn't make sense, at all. If you could train a Pokemon that much, Cyrus would create his new world via training a random reality warping Pokemon all the way to tier 2 and making a new universe

This thread, literally, this entire thread can be debunked with:
"Lore > Game Mechanics > PIS"
