Which is why I mentioned the overarching timeline since I'm unsure how that would work for a standard paradox in a standard continuum.I mean above baseline paradoxes are a thing in fiction.

I think it just works, Reverse Flash and Flash come to mind (both CW and comics) where they both resist paradoxes and then some dude comes along and paradoxes them, without any mention of overarching timelines and the like.Which is why I mentioned the overarching timeline since I'm unsure how that would work for a standard paradox in a standard continuum.
On top of that, Giratina wasn't particularly effected all that much by the paradox either. Dialga's loop just prevented it from physically leaving the distortion world.Honestly, I don't even recall Origin Form Giratina being paradoxed as well. Dialga trapping Giratina with the Loop is a feat for the former rather than an anti-feat of the latter, especially when is stated two times that time isn't a thing in the Distortion World.
Former.I'm confused. Was Giratina Dormammu'd or harmed in the past and affected in the present?
Scans for proof:I'm confused. Was Giratina Dormammu'd or harmed in the past and affected in the present?
Oh. Then I guess the "paradoxing" isn't really an anti-feat for Type 4 Acausality. Of course, whether it qualifies to begin with is a whole other topic, one that I'll leave to the knowledgeable members.Former.
Nothing here was created before causality as far as I am aware. They were created before time, which isn't the same thing. I know characters completly beyond the concept of time which don't have Type 4.May I ask, if you existed before the concept of time and causality, but were created by something within both time and causality, with a power that transcends time and causality, would it be Type 4?
Nothing in these scans really adds anything speaking for acausality beyond what the doc said from what I see.Added some scans in the description now, is now enough?
Honestly, seeing how inconsistent it is with the main canon that sounds like a terrible move. If that's the case Dialga needs the weakness that it turns mad and time stops running if the temporal tower is destroyed.It is now.
No, it doesn't, because that weakness doesn't apply to normal Dialga. It's for his Primal self only.Honestly, seeing how inconsistent it is with the main canon that sounds like a terrible move.

Wasn't the entire plot context of PMD2 though was that Temporal Tower began collapsing which is what caused Dialga to go primal to begin with though?No, it doesn't, because that weakness doesn't apply to normal Dialga. It's for his Primal self only.
The collapse of Temporal Tower wasn't what caused Dialga to go Primal though, it was Darkrai specifically capturing the time gears out of the tower that did.Wasn't the entire plot context of PMD2 though was that Temporal Tower began collapsing which is what caused Dialga to go primal to begin with though?
Well, as I stated in the Canon thread (And others as well), I'm working on my own blog entirely about the Creation and Lake trios plus Arceus, so I think isn't the right time for me to talk about this when I'm still developing my opinion with the information that I gathered (And I'm still looking for more info, playing Guardians Sings right now). So I'll not be able to help for some time, until I finish my blog.@Executor_N0
If your not too busy could you give this a look over?
That applies to Primal Dialga, not regular Dialga, who is treated as even just Low 2-C here.Honestly, seeing how inconsistent it is with the main canon that sounds like a terrible move. If that's the case Dialga needs the weakness that it turns mad and time stops running if the temporal tower is destroyed.
Still weird tho, it should be Type 4 because of the Law and Directions stuff if I got it correctly.Nothing in these scans really adds anything speaking for acausality beyond what the doc said from what I see.
The collapse of Temporal Tower wasn't what caused Dialga to go Primal though, it was Darkrai specifically capturing the time gears out of the tower that did.
The tower collapsing causes an already Primal Dialga to go into its angry uncontrolled state.
Nothing implies it was the Time Gears being stolen that caused Dialga to lose control. The Time Gears are only what caused the tower to collapse to begin with, which then in turn caused Dialga to go primal.The Planet's paralysis started with the collapse of Temporal Tower, which was governed by Dialga...
Dialga ensured the proper flow of time from Temporal Tower. But when Temporal Tower collapsed time gradually got out of control and eventually the planet fell into paralysis. When time went out of whack, Dialga also lost control.
Then it's what Everything said on this point then. The collapse of the tower itself doesn't cause the corruption, but time being the one corrupted does (since time is Dialga).That's not the case here according to context. From Grovyle's quote:
Nothing implies it was the Time Gears being stolen that caused Dialga to lose control. The Time Gears are only what caused the tower to collapse to begin with, which then in turn caused Dialga to go primal.
PMD Dialga is potrayed as way weaker than the regular one for a reason.Why Temporal Tower was needed to keep time flowing properly when the main games assign Dialga that job? No clue.
Acausality Type 5 is disagreed from everyone.So what are the current votes for and against like now, and whats the main points of contention that need to be solved before this progresses?
Meh, avatars don't have such due of lacking feats of it. Only exception are Dialga and Arceus, only that are Type 3 instead of just 1.Type 1 Acausality?
That applies to Primal Dialga, not regular Dialga, who is treated as even just Low 2-C here.
Wrong, the destruction of the tower is what turns Dialga into its Primal Self. So it applies to normal Dialga just as much.No, it doesn't, because that weakness doesn't apply to normal Dialga. It's for his Primal self only.
Neither directions nor laws of nature have anything to do with causality, though. Those would need to be the laws of causality specifically for that to matter.Still weird tho, it should be Type 4 because of the Law and Directions stuff if I got it correctly.
With said Dialga being just Low 2-C instead of 2-B/2-A thought.Wrong, the destruction of the tower is what turns Dialga into its Primal Self. So it applies to normal Dialga just as much.
Pretty sure that since they are Laws of reality causality should apply too.Neither directions nor laws of nature have anything to do with causality, though. Those would need to be the laws of causality specifically for that to matter.
And again, no, it isn't. As was specified above, time getting corrupted is what turns Dialga into it's primal self. Not the destruction of the tower.Wrong, the destruction of the tower is what turns Dialga into its Primal Self. So it applies to normal Dialga just as much.
To be fair, Magic Gods' case seems like they would have Type 4 Acausality and type 1 acausality, assuming no major anti-feats.They were created before time, which isn't the same thing. I know characters completly beyond the concept of time which don't have Type 4.
Being created before causality exist would be type 4, however causality can exist before time does.
True. In the latter case, I think more context is needed to prove type 4 acausality.Being created before causality exist would be type 4, however causality can exist before time does.
I see. It seems like it is still would an antifeat for a type 2 concept; such a concept should be not affected by changes with its association, in normal cases.And again, no, it isn't. As was specified above, time getting corrupted is what turns Dialga into it's primal self. Not the destruction of the tower.
A concept being independent of changes to its object is actually the most major aspect of it being Type 2. So if a series shows something like transmuting all candy affecting the concept of candy, that's a pretty major anti-feat. It can be a feat for the transmutation only if we already have hard proof that its of that type in the first place.How would that be an anti-feat in the first place? Generally speaking, and not just for Pokemon?
If anything, the other viable result is that the corruption would be conceptual, and thats not out of left field since it effects time itself.
Ik that really well, but, they have feat of not being affected from that stuff, as also heavily implied when Dialga/Palkia were distorting time or dimensions in the reset, it wouldn't make sense that they were affected from it in the setting.A concept being independent of changes to its object is actually the most major aspect of it being Type 2.

Assuming they are abstractions (which also seems to be contested here), I fail to see how simply manipulating their objects is grounds for anything. It's not as though they shouldn't be able to.Thing is that is for Primal Dialga, not the actual Dialga, who already can freerly move in cracks of reality and space-time and isn't affected from space-time distortions either, so is either PIS or just PMD Dialga who is way inferior to the regular one.

I think He is argueing that they are resisting as well as manipulating, since we don't assume characters who manipulate something can also resist it, you need feats for that... which he provided.Assuming they are abstractions (which also seems to be contested here), I fail to see how simply manipulating their objects is grounds for anything.

These are just for the avatars anyways tho, I thought it was obvious.Assuming they are abstractions (which also seems to be contested here), I fail to see how simply manipulating their objects is grounds for anything. It's not as though they shouldn't be able to.
