    Why would that be the case?

    Realization: that diary about the Yveltal in Sheridan Wetlands. It was obviously written by Madame X, and the "he" it referenced was Indriad. Madame X had to "find a way to destroy Yveltal while also preventing the impending doom" that its death would cause. Her solution? She destroyed it, but used the soul stone to keep it alive, thereby keeping the world from being destroyed. And she now has Indriad's Yveltal, or at least its ghost.

    Why not? Just minor changes to keep it consistent with the changes in rejuvenation

    I forgot about Oblitus town. Is the lore behind it that it was depopulated just because everyone moved to Grand Dream City? Because that's weird. It obviously didn't exist before the calamity (nothing did, except maybe for Grand Dream). And 40 years is an awfully short amount of time for a town to spring up from the ground and then be depopulated--especially when the cause of the population loss is a nearby big city that's older than the town itself.

    I wanna know, will WLL get updated as well? There are obviously going to be minor changes to the towns' layout etc, so shouldn't WLL also change to reflect that?

    So...let's talk about the mysterious profile from the Hospital of Hope. The 59 year old guy who didn't remember his name, but knew he was from the Sevii Islands. That's definitely not Kenneth, since we were shown his entire life. Plus, we know he's 44, since the calamity happened when he was 4 years old. It's also probably not Deagan, since he never got amnesia in the WLL. Plus, that would make him at least 15 years older than Kenneth. That leaves one possible person: Kenneth's father. We know he died before WLL, but we don't know how or where. Maybe he somehow ended up i

    They reintroduced the Day/Night features several times though. They never disappeared for good. And field effects are just more complicated terrains.
  8. Between Life and Death
    Game Freak has put embarassingly little effort into many areas, but I don't think battle mechanics is one of them.
  9. Between Life and Death
    I don't think this terrain stuff is a one-and done mechanic. Megas and Z rings were gimmicks that had cool lore etc, but lost relevance after their debut games (and honestly I was fine with that). But terrains are being built up slowly, generation by generation. And the logic behind them will always be relevant. Getting rid of terrains would be like getting rid of weather or the day/night mechanics.

    Alexandra didn't know about the obelisk, she just put two-and-two together when she heard what Nymiera had said. She was just as surprised as we were. And don't read too much into "modern-day life." The pre-storm 9 era was plenty modern.
  11. Between Life and Death
    They definitely wouldn't get to reborn level unfairness or complexity, but I could see something like sound moves being stronger in a cave or ice moves from grounded pokemon being stronger in the snow

    Not sure if this belongs here or in a Reborn topic, but here goes. Anyway, the games seem to be going in that direction already. Terrains are becoming more and more salient (spoilers for the isle of armor) The next thing for Pokemon to do would be to expand the "terrains" to include natural backgrounds, such as snow or caves. And given Nature Power's continued existence, this seems plausible. Who knows, maybe by Gen 9 we'll have full-blown field effects.

    Okay, I'm offended. Delphox is probably my favorite fire starter. I don't think we have any other "mage" pokemon, at least not with a wand and everything. And delphox's mage aesthetic and its fire powers work together so naturally. I just don't see how anyone can dislike it. Anyway, my five least favorite starters... 5) Samurott. It was a missed opportunity for a water/fighting starter. Instead, it had to be pure water (thanks, Emboar) and its design was so bland as a result. It deserved so much better. 4) Typhlosion. What is there to its design? It's just a

    Eh, I'm sure there's some alternate universe where Kenneth and Tesla are living happily together
  15. Between Life and Death
    I wanna know more about Amber and Tesla. Are we sure they're safe? That interaction with Hazuki was really weird; it's the first time we met her in the present, and why would she of all people be concerned about Tesla's safety? I'm suspecting Hazuki was actually Cera in disguise. Because I think Cera is either a brainwashed Hazuki or a replica of her created via Garufan magic. In which case, Angie would have kidnapped Tesla and Amber.

    Ooh, I didn't think about the gift. He may have gotten Giratina before he started with the vaccines. (What would be in the vaccines then? A serum somehow related to Griselda?) I agree about how he got Giratina. The doctors just say he "caught" it, which is a bit preposterous. I would have preferred if Crescent had actually caught Giratina on Valor Mountain--then Freya could have stolen it and handed it over to Isha. But maybe we have a better explanation coming our way.
  17. Between Life and Death
    Those are the exceptions that prove the rule
  18. Between Life and Death
    One thing I don't get is: why did Isha have Giratina? Like, what was the significance of that plot-wise? I had previously assumed that if you didn't release Giratina then Isha would hold onto it indefinitely. But now I've seen what happens if you don't release Giratina (thanks, Nine Icy Tails), and it just escapes after the Isha battle. So what was the significance of Isha having it in the first place? Because the whole thing felt shoehorned in, since it was completely unrelated to Isha's memory experiments. And Giratina ended up exactly where it was before Isha caught it: released and running

    Yeah, I wanna know this too. Reborn has a mac version that works really well, so how doable is it?

    Spoiler for people who declined to watch the video Hoo boy. I was wondering when would make her return
  21. Between Life and Death
    Eh, the player might be the interceptor's "main" host, but they can temporarily inhabit a close friend's mind without them forgetting everything.
  22. Between Life and Death
    Another thing: if the interceptor is the player, then they were also inhabiting Kenneth's mind during Where Love Lies. That would explain why Freya specifically manipulated Kenneth, and why she and Kieran are trying to do the same to MC. The interceptor is the only one who isn't bound by fate, so one who manipulates the interceptor has fate in their hands.
  23. Between Life and Death
    When?
  24. Between Life and Death
    That was the line.
  25. Between Life and Death
    Another thing I'm wondering: is the interceptor literally just you? Not the protagonist, the actual player behind the screen. And then maybe when you're controlling a different character, the interceptor's briefly inhabiting someone else's mind. It would explain why you have flashbacks to the intro when you go into the Strange House: the interceptor was inhabiting Maria's mind when you played as her. And it also explains a bit of dialogue in Zone Zero, where Ren is shocked to find out you know something that only he and Aelita saw. In that case, your role as the interceptor would h
