Great theory There are 2 other theorys that fit with yours that explain the paradox pokemon 1 is that the disk pokemon is making the paradox pokemon and not taking them from the past/future so instead of iron treads and great tusk being from the past and future they are donphans from the present that the disk pokemon changed. The 2nd fits your theory better it is that the paradox pokemon and from other worlds like ultra beasts but are similar to pokemon found here like the galar birds and the time machine is actually a ultra wormhole generator linking our earth to a different world that is more primal or futuristic.

[@Ashtari]

So while I'm not sure that US/UM is connected, I'm almost pretty sure that XY, SSH, and SV are definitely connected. I can easily believe that Galar, Kalos, and Paldea (or at least the nation that pre-dated Paldea) were at war 3,000 years ago, after all England, France, and Spain have constantly fought through out history in our own world. AZ of course ended the last great war on that continent thanks to his weapon, a weapon that powerful could EASILY knock a meteor down onto Galar, causing The Darkest day, while at the same time the weapon's target would leave a massive crater, likely wiping out whatever civilization WAS there. And in Paldea the next great kingdom to appear wouldn't show up for another thousand years later and would take another 1,200 years before the entire nation to unite under one country. As for the gimmick and the legendary that is likely causing said gimmick...AZ's weapon could have easily tore a hole in time-space, AZ was targeting the main stronghold of his enemy crystalizing it and one pokemon inside was strong enough to survive but was crystalized as well, AZ was targeting the main stronghold of his enemy that also held a legendary and it was accidentally banished outside of time. Any are plausible. Honestly, I'm hoping for something that ties the three regions together because 3,000 years comes up WAY too much to be a coincidence.

Alchemy, in general, is also defined in 4 broad stages symbolized by colors: white (mega), yellow (z move), red (gigantamax), or black. Tera Raids that are 6+ difficulty, with exceptionally high levels of Tera energy, are shown as black crystals regardless of Tera type. Maybe the next Pokémon generation will involve all of the gimmicks or at least tie into the Philosopher’s Stone, which is alchemy’s ultimate goal? Edit: xy

[@joeyre2453]

@@leCuttlefish Pokémon has hidden lore of man playing god in several of the games, with dubious goals behind some of them. Humans transforming into Pokémon or creating homunculi is not a far-fetched concept either. Think back to Red & Blue Researcher Bill; although by accident, he is able to outright transform into a Pokémon. His example, however, is purely out of fanaticism for Pokémon. Mewtwo, on the other hand, is a modified clone of Mew with human genes, created with the intent of being the strongest existence. Ditto is also thought to be experimentally made from the same vein as Mewtwo, although a failed product. An amoeba-like creature able to adopt the likeness of other Pokémon (and even humans).. what is the intention behind its creation? These examples surely follow the ‘alchemical homunculus’ theme.

[@Kahadi]

That is definitely the origin when you look at the pre-evolutions as well and the fact it has a complete salt theme. That being said, however, its not impossible to be a double reference, they have done that before

Not likely considering the timing. The Ultimate Weapon was fired 3,000 years ago, but the crater is millions of years old. There's also the mysterious tablet we see (and the mention of others) looking like it was specifically placed when the crater was already there, not before the crater was made (it stands on the ground instead of being fallen over or lying in the dirt) suggesting that people lived inside the crater, and yet as of 2,000 years ago people never returned when exploring it, suggesting that the tablet is much older than that, while the depiction (and the drawing on the ground where we can find Roaring Moon and Iron Valiant) suggests these ancient people already knew about the Terastal Phenomenon and the Disk Pokemon. And the Terastal Phenomenon in the modern era has only been going on for a couple hundred years. Aside from the assumed proximity to Kalos, there is nothing connecting the crater or Terastallization to the Kalos War, the closest connection to Kalos and gen 6 being some similarities between the Disk Pokemon's hexagons on the shell and the hexagons on Zygarde

I have a theory: As you mentioned, the pokedex entries for the galarian birds pretty much implies very clearly that the galarian birds aren´t the original three legendary birds that we all know from Kanto. But given this information it brings the question: What are the galarian legendary birds then? And I have a theory about it, but first, a bit of context: You know how Ho-oh turned three pokemon that died in a fire into the legendary beasts? (and the popular theory of them being originally the three Kanto eeveelutions due to the type similarities?). This information is important for my theory because it kinda sets an important precedent: some legendary pokemon have the power to cause the existence of other legendary pokemon. So, why this information relates to the galarian legendary birds? My theory is that Eternatus energy (most likely unintentionally on Eternatus part) mutated three regular flying type pokemon during the first darkest day and turned them into legendary pokemon in a similar way to how Ho-oh turned those three kanto pokemon into the legendary beast. But not exactly in the same way (something I´ll explain a bit further into the theory). Now, is there any evidence that could back up the possibility of this mutations happening? Let´s analyze what we know about the first darkest day to begin with: Zacian’s Crowned Sword entry from Pokémon Shield says : “Able to cut down anything with a single strike, it became known as the Fairy King’s Sword, and it inspired awe in friend or foe alike.” Zamazenta’s Crowned Shield entry from Pokémon Sword: “Its ability to deflect any attack led to it being known as the Fighting Master’s Shield. It was feared and respected by all.” Who are the fairy king and the fighting master that Zacian and Zamazenta helped in the past (most likely againts Eternatus during the first darkest day)? It´s widely believed that these dex entries are referring to Calyrex as the fairy king (while not fairy type itself it´s highly inspired by Oberon, the king of fairies from medieval literature and to king Arthur) and Urshifu, of course, as the fighting master. Why this is important as potential evidence that could back up the possibility of these mutations happening in three regular flying type pokemon? My theory is that when these three regular birds mutated into legendaries during the first darkest day as a result of Eternatus energy, they also gained the types of the pokemon that were fighting againts Eternatus due to their proximity to them: The bird pokemon that got Calyrex psychic powers became Galarian Articuno and the other ones took the dark and fighting type from urshifu respectively turning themselves into Galarian Moltres and Galarian Zapdos. You may be wondering: But what about Calyrex grass typing and/or if both versions of Urshifu were also there? Well, there is a huge dynamax tree that definitely was affected by Eternatus energy and that ended up getting as well the grass type energy from Calyrex (which is also called "the king of bountiful harvests"), which would also explain why they fight over the three since it probably became their only source for food after they got permanently mutated along with it. And if that doesn´t seem right and you (but I think it´s a bit less likely) there is still certain mythical pokemon in Galar that just happens to be part grass type and that is the only mythical in the region so far. And if both urshifus were there the fighting type from rapid strike and the dark type from single strike could´ve been the ones passed on into the mutated bird pokemon (and the developers probably decided to use these types specifically and not the water type from rapid strike to create the type trio that nullifies each other : dark, fighting and psychic, just like the do with the fire/water/grass starters of each gen). Is there more evidence of potential mutations? Calyrex itself is the only pokemon that has a blue dynamax aura (and while this could be due to Calyrex own power and due to the connection of the color to royalty, the dynamax phenomenon only started in Galar after Eternatus arrival, so it could potentially be the result of a mutation as well). Not to mention that purple is also a color for royalty (that just happens to be the one that the bird that potentially got Calyrex psychic type passed on has). And Urshifu (both of them) are the only legendary pokemon able to use gigantamax, so this could also potentially be the result of a mutation caused by Eternatus as well. You also may be wondering but then why Zacian and Zamazenta didn´t ended up mutated? I think that the reason has to do with the fact that they got granted the steel type thanks to their relics. Steel type it´s the only type that is a counter to both of Eternatus types at the same time: dragon and poison, and that those relics were probably carried by the ancestors of Swordward and Shieldbert, that later on got mistaken as the saviors of Galar and became kings). So yeah, that´s the theory. TLDR: The galarian birds where potentially three regular flying type pokemon that got mutated by Eternatus energy and that gained the types of the legendary pokemon that were fighting againts Eternatus, along a normal three that also got mutated and became their only source for food and as such, the cause of their fights over it.

I have something to add: I think this is all related to generation 5's dream world. Specifically, I think the mechanism that allows you to enter a world of dreams, take physical objects out of said world and in to reality, and also obtain pokemon with abilities they can't normally have, but which are associated with the ideas related to them (like politoed somehow summoning rain), are all connected. And guess how Unova is shaped? A disk. Just like Paldea. Also, you know what Musharna can do with dream mist? Create a Ghetsis that looks just like the real thing. I that all the paradox pokemon, and maybe the entirety of area zero, are ideas given physical reality by the disk pokemon, with that mist being involved. Oh yeah and the whole area zero is covered in mist, and dream mist itself is the same pink color as dynamax and Ultra wormhole energy.

[@frankorious534]

Another connection to Unova is the third legendary. Kyurem, 50% Zygarde, Necrozma and Eternatus are all pieces of a bigger and more powerful creature (Original dragon, 100% Zygarde, Ultra Necrozma and Eternamax). Plus, originally the Kalos games were supposed to be about aliens, so the extraterrestrial elements are in all of them. We just have to wait the DLC in order to see the disk pokemon

[@ethangold4900]

Now I really want to know what the original dragon looks like and what does it do, maybe it could bring another connection to these. Maybe the splitting of the original dragon caused the absence of powerful gimmicks in Gen 5, but imagine how powerful it would be for a pokemon to be the truth and the ideal at the same time. So far, the only possible connection gen 5 could bring is the Dream lore of gen 5, the Entralink, Reshiram and Zekrom being compressed into stones when they're inactive, Kyurem being able to extract the light/dark stone to bring them back into him (an empty shell), and some unused game data such as pointers to previous regions.

Another thing that doesn’t add up about the paradox Pokémon is that they were supposedly inside the crater well before Sada / Turo even built the time machine, as Heath describes them in the Expedition journal. Arven pointed this out in one of the post game small talk scenes in school and it just gives more credence to the paradox Pokémon actually being fake. Great video! It’s awesome actually having stuff to discuss in Pokémon again

[@trickytristan1]

That could be part of the reason behind the choice to call them "paradox" mons. They had to exist beforehand to inspire sada/turo to research them, but then were brought into the world by sada/turo. this does make a paradoxical scenario because both events feed into the other in a chicken/egg sort of way

[@Yoyocreative]

I personally think paldea itself is the disk pokemon. The "crown" in the drawing is the crater of area zero. And I think the disk part is actually spherical and underground! I think area zero is the inside of the pokemon and acts as a sort of womb for pokemon to terrastalize. As for the lizard-like head, it may be a guardian of sorts, or just it's head. And I think it's sleeping. Given the structure of paldea, it's very much possible it's inside/underneath glaceado mountain. I'm excited to learn more about this pokemon! But it's really fun to think about the possibilities!

[@enderking5220]

(which is likely to be Australia, google the picture in the art teachers room)

[@Giondi]

Isn't everything since Gen 6 in a different universe from the first five generations? I remember that being the explanation for why Megas existed in ORAS when they weren't in the originals. If that's the case, all the gimmicks might be different manifestations of the same thing or at least come from the same source. I really REALLY hope this isn't where it's going (I tend to prefer Pokemon games with simpler stories and don't want Gen 7 levels of mashing the A button to get out of "cinematics"), but Generation 10 might tie them all together. One thing that makes me think it's unlikely, though, is that they retired Ash from the anime now instead of waiting to send him off in the generation that caps off the multi-generation story that would be. Even if they didn't tie the story of the anime into what's going on in the games, if they marketed it right they could recreate the Pokemania from the '90s. If they announced that they were releasing a game that tied up the past four generations AND that Ash is having his final adventure, it would bring a lot of people back who might have wandered away from the franchise over the past couple decades.

Cydonia (an Italian youtuber) came up with a very similar theory on the release of S&S, and expanded upon it recently. You can watch it but keep in mind subtitles may mess up

[@Gwenth]

Great video, it brings up a lot of neat ideas. It's quite interesting to see how those legendaries designs are very different from their peers. Most of them are not fleeting deities to worship, they're not protectors or guardians. They're not really encompassing a concept either. They are a concept in themselves by how they so unnaturally change what they can influence. They're also tangible in a way, as you can explain where they come from. Not here. But also by how they impact the world around them. For example, Koraidon and Miraidon are supposedly common Pokémon from their respective time periods, just like how Solgaleo and Lunala are everywhere in Ultra Space. It's likely those trios are all part of a whole, a different whole. That's a very striking difference from the legendaries depictions we usually had. Not only because of their non-Earthly origin, but also their demeanor. They don't have a duty. They simply exist. In a way they are truly modern Legendaries, as they bring new resources into the world, like how Kyogre created oceans, but in our time instead. I'm guessing the Disk Legendary will tap into unwanted creation, dreams and imagination. Which is also a way to influence without wanting it. Very interested to see more!

[@gustavju4686]

In SM, Necrozma had crashed into Earth and remained buried for years according to the lore iirc. And I theorize that Rose found Eternatus buried in what would become the cavern in the Crown Tundra where one can obtain the past gen legendaries. Then there's Kyurem...

[@pitabread546]

I am loving this theory. The similarities would just be a little too coincidencental to not line up, and the implications of these legendaries being related and coming together for a massive event in say, possibly gen 10, are incredible

I really hope that Ultra Beast lore makes some sort of return. I never really noticed these connections and it’s super cool!

[@danielstephens1313]

When I went through and read the clues in the game, it seemed like the "disc pokemon" actually showed you what you dreamed of and it just appears to be past and future because of the respective professor's dream. That also explains the disappearance of Heath's beloved cyclizar and the appearance of Koraidon/Miraidon.

[@user-dc4fc1sm1m]

@Roize Rasen Ultra Necrozma has space manipulation (Just like palkia) Eternamax Eternatus distorts time-space according to pokedex entry(Just like giratina) This disc pokemon has time manipulation(Just like dialga) Do you think they are creation trio from other dimension/timeline or they are fallen creations of arceus(Like fallen angels)?

[@gustavju4686]

Maybe the pokemon equivalent of Nephilium (Biblical giants).

[@zzzzz28]

this is a really cool theory, it would be sick if they planned for gen 7, 8 and 9 to have their gimmicks connected in the lore.

[@korrochime2432]

Interesting! I had come to a similar theory regarding ultra wormholes and the paldea "time machine", but the conclusion I came to was that the paradox pokemon were simply taken from alternative universes that just so happened to house those strange pokemon. Many of the ultra beasts themselves could be considered to be "past" and "future" pokemon, like Buzzwole and Celesteela, plus past like and future like dimensions that support alien pokemon are also confirmed. Ultramegolopolis in particular might even be the far off "future" referenced in Turo's magazines; a high tech futuristic environment where people and pokemon have adapted to a harsh environment with the help of technology. The Ultra Jungle wormhole location could be where Sada's paradox pokemon were pulled from. I hadn't even considered the relation to dynamax though

[@pigeongod3450]

I have thoughts that Zygarde may have some importance here as well, the disk Pokémon and the whole Terastallization phenomenon all link to hexagons, and Zygarde (and Xerneas with geomancy) also is coated in hexagons, and since Paldea might be right next to Kalos there's a chance something's going on there too, since Zygarde also appeared in Alola where Necrozma was

[@vaporeonvex4368]

I’d like to note that gen 6 to 9 has introduced a lot of ideas about alternate universes, how to be transported tot hen, how things are transported from them and potentially how they are created, which is a kinda weird underlying theme that connects those games together.

[@noirhelios]

A couple additions to an otherwise fantastic video: You technically visit Alola in the future when you encounter Guzzlord in USUM, so traveling through time in Ultra Wormholes lines up. And the fact you can shiny hunt legendaries in Dynamax adventures when they are usually locked I think adds up to them being alternate versions from other dimensions/times

[@StanKween]

The sundial in Anistar City better have the correlation with the light energy as well. It's one of the earliest introduction of these crystal power.

[@amazinglyshook]

As the player, I felt constantly questioned about the existence of the paradox pokemon for the reasons explained in the video. Then journals in Area 0 talks about how the AI assistant appeared out of nowhere and how Sada/Turo was so obsessed with time travel that their family relationships declined. It almost felt like Sada/Turo willed everything into existence. My stab-in-the-dark guess is that the disk mon is more of a non-sentient wish granting machine (kind of like clockwork stars from Kirby) and that the professors used that energy to create tera orbs, the fake time machine, paradox mons, by extension the box legendaries, and the AI/Paradise Protection Protocol.

[@Kahadi]

Except that the AI assistant didn't appear out of nowhere... Arven states Sada/Turo was working on it last time he saw them, and the journals show when they came up with the idea to make their AI Assistant, right after the other Professor left and Arven was born. Also, that "imaginary" theory complicates the whole Heath Expedition and the sightings Occulture reports on, and without the whole "the other professor went through time too and they collaborated through time to make it all happen", it removes the "Paradox" aspect (and that theory overly complicates it as well...

[@no1ryomafan585]

Aw man I hate cliffhangers /j. But seriously, great video! Pokémon lore since gen 7 has interested me very much but I somehow didn’t deep dive into S/V lore despite enjoying the climax. I didn’t even know the disk Pokémon existed until this video and man now I hope we see them in potential DLC. It’s very fascinating that there’s hints that all the regional gimmicks as of late-expect megas rip-are tied together in some capacity, all having effects on the Pokémon of their said regions whilst granting them specific abilities. It be interesting if these 3 alien dragons as I’ll call them were actually one Pokémon but spilt-potentially akin to Kyurem? Which so a LOT of dragons are splitting in this universe-even if I see the possibility of them being a actual trio despite being tied to ones a likely outcome. Either way, I cannot wait for the second part and also curious to see what other videos you do, cause I just got this randomly recommended but very much enjoyed this discussion of lore. : )

[@mew5178]

This has been the most convincing explanation of the disk Pokémon and the past few years of Pokémon ive seen in years. It never even occured to me from returning legendaries and gimmicks that the worlds may be interconnected, I KNOW POKEMON GAMES ARE CONNECTED BUT HEAR ME OUT every pokemon game thus far has not been a continuation but its own stand alone title technically excluding HGSS as you could travel to and from Kanto. Thinking in the way that the last 3 generations have all been building towards something has me excited for Gen 10.

If we follow this topic, there is one specific pokemon that is also related to this, Zygarde. When time comes when the BW/BW12 remakes came and have the original dragon(Another theory), One dragon would also awaken. Remember that according to lore, Zygarde cells are everywhere meaning it knows everything that is happening and if the threat of the original dragon and the Crystal Legendaries(Necrozma,Eternatus,Disk Pokemon, and maybe 2 more legendaries until the XY remakes... or pokemon Z, we will have the war arc again), Zydarde will defend it against thoss light dragons.

[@dierdretowne4888]

A thought I'd had some time ago... What if none of the Paradox Pokemon, or even the Tera Raid Pokemon, are actually "real" Pokemon? What if they're more like imagined or desired pokemon given a physical form through the power of the Disc Pokemon and the Tera Crystals? And the Professor's "time machine", instead of actually pulling a pokemon through time, was instead tapping into the legend's power to essentially 3D print a new Paradox mon, and the professor just didn't realize that was what was going on in there? Granted that, uh, that leads to some possible concerning consequences of the AI's last act...

That's probably the point. The AI is probably now trapped in a dimension which the Disk Pokémon created and filled with other Pokémon to grant that wish.

There is also a big thing not mentioned: in Kalos, the ultimate weapon seems to use a very similar energy to the disc pokemon. Mega evolution and paradox forms are extremely similar, as seen my Iron Valiant and Roaring Moon. So could Xerneas and Yveltal be tapping into a similar light energy? Following from that, could Zygarde, protector of the ecosystem, have noticed all these eternatus/disc/necrozma shenanigans?

some things i want to point out that could add to this theory - firstly the “paradox pokemon are from a different time period which isnt similar to ultra space” is easily fixed because of the existence of places like the ultra ruins, which are literally just hauoli city from a different timeline also another important note - the pokedex entries for past paradoxes in violet and future paradoxes in scarlet should be taken with a massive grain of salt. in their own game they are described as “oh hey this looks like that thing from the violet/scarlet book”, but when in the opposite game, it always makes a note of mentioning “hey this looks like this thing that was mentioned in a dubious paranormal magazine”. the thing a lot of people are missing is that its literally meant to be an occult conspiracy tabloid magazine and its just a matter of what version you’re playing that makes the “bigfoot is real!!!!” type stories true or false in said magazine or

[@TheCrispyTNDRS]

It's a shame part 2 isn't out already but I really enjoyed watching this video. I feel if the 3rd legendary didn't create the paradox pokemon it would ruin the story. I love the "Creation through means of projection" theory tho, it makes sense once you connect all 3 generations and since we don't have access to the full legendary trio in Paldea yet, the 3rd legendaries mystery might tie everything together as originating from the same place. Anyway loved the video, subscribed and looking forward to part 2 🙏

[@YukinoToki]

Creation through means of projection would explain one of the big paradoxes of Scarlet/Violet. When Heath (the author of the Scarlet/Violet book) was researching Area Zero, he encountered paradox Pokemon and tried to illustrate them. yet, based on the games lore, Paradox Pokemon didn't appear in Area Zero until the Professor(s) used the time machine. So how could the paradox mons exist during Heath's time in Area Zero, but not during current time? Of course I could be missing a detail from a random bit of lore in the game too that would explain this. but It's my understand that this is, currently, a standing paradox within the games.

[@TheCrispyTNDRS]

@@YukinoToki So far, there's gaps in between the SV story (mainly to do with area zero and the paradox phenomenon) so if the DLC fills in those gaps then we can have more of an understanding about what the Paradox Pokemon actually are (whether they're actually from the past/future). For all we know the 3rd legendary could have abilities to do with influencing others to do what it wants or implant things into ones mind. Heath and the professor(s) surpossidly made decisions that they wouldn't usually make, the AI professor(s) couldn't even comprehend why the real professor(s) made the "time machine" or locked it down so securely in the first place. My guess is the 3rd planted those images of the respective games "paradox pokemon" into Heaths mind, he draws them and documents them, 200 years pass and young Sada/Turo are fascinated by them, later in life explore area zero, don't see the "paradox pokemon" and then build the "time machine". The 3rd legendary could've influenced the professor(s) to make sure the time machine would never stop running and it could've been able to see into the future and planned out the entire story of events. But ofc I don't know for sure, I am reaching and guessing a little bit here but who knows. I do strongly believe that the 3rd legendary created the paradox pokemon but everything else is my speculation. Edit: To add ontop of the part about the "time machine", the inside (when it opens up) does look very similar to an ultra wormhole connecting to the theory in the video. The 3rd legendary could manifest the "paradox pokemon" in ultra space and then through the professor(s) "time machine" bring them through into reality.

The detail everybody ignores about the Magnemite//Sandy Shocks relationship is that you can find Wild Magnezone throughout the Coronet Highlands in Hisui. Magnemite and Beldum are quite similar, where they Evolve when combining multiple times to create their Evolved Forms. 3 Magnemite is a Magneton, 2 Beldum is a Metang. When you subject a Magneton to strong electromagnetic forces//Thinder Stone (G8+), it fuses the individual Magnemites into a single organism, Magnezone. While 2 Metangs combining naturally become a Metagross. It could be the case that they're aliens.

A better explanation is that it IS taking them from other times, but not the past and future, rather from parallel worlds. So in one universe you have people recreating Pokemon with advanced technology as natural pokemon were driven extinct, while another universe stayed in a world where maybe humanity had a harder time, or they didn't advance technology nearly as much, as Pokemon can do a LOT of things you'd usually build technology for, thus why build them if you already have that need met. So one creature transports powerful pokemon from around the world, another takes powerful pokemon from other universes/worlds, and this third one takes powerful pokemon from other timelines. Each creates portals, just to different targets.

i believe it creates your dreams. it relates to the theming of "finding your treasure" perhaps heath in violet had an obsession with the future, and the disk pokemon lures you in to a sort of... deal, in a way, by tempting you with what you want to see. but it cant do much without someones help, someone making a machine to help its power... and then in violet, turo gets obsessed with these fantastical stories from area zero, reading the book constantly... and then. goes there. and they arent there. but studies the crystals and the disk pokemon, and with Big Brain Power makes the machine, which lets him get his childlike dream... of pokemon of the future. which pose a threat, as the AI version of the prof says. if they were to leave the garden, they could Ruin The Ecosystem(TM) hmmMMM sounds familiar i think its a dream creature that makes whatever you imagine come true, in a way. heck, bet its magenta. because magenta isnt a "real color" on the light spectrum, between scarlet and violet... and hey, big turtle serpent shell thing? and its magenta maybe?

[@barrybend7189]

Something to note about Paradox pokemon. Paradoxes come in several verities. First is predestination paradoxs which are set events caused in the past by future parties( for example Star Trek Animated series episode Amok Time) and the self fulfilling prophecy( like the Shadow war and Babylon 4 in the show Babylon 5). With the Terrestral phenomenon it seems like the energies allow drastic and to use a term in Star Trek long temporal distance of the pokemon. As the Terristal phenomenon allows pokemon to either gain a new typing to refract damage ( Grass gym Psuedowoodo to Truedowoodo) or to amplify it ( like getting an X8 damage boost using Terrastilization to stab bonus in battle). I think the phenomenon allows something similar through time. What does have me concerned about is how much of the self fulfilling prophecy did Sada and Turo make with the use of Terrastilization for time travel as one of the effects is Heath's expedition seeing past and future pokemon. Now I'm wondering how the three Tauist pokemon of the Black and White games are effected by this as they are not only based on the three essentials of alchemy as well as Tauist philosophy. Also like Nekrozma the Origin dragon came from space and is the only pokemon known to be able to separate and recombine 3 completely different pokemon.

Let's not forget Mega Evolution also ties in on all of this. The first time we heard about it, it was on Kalos, which literally is right next to Paldea. While it does not contain any significant meteor craters, it does have the ultimate weapon which is a giant terracrystal on my eyes. Also, ORAS tells how the Mega Stones/Energy appeared: Giant meteors felt on earth with rainbow like lights, which emanated the energy that allows the Mega Evolution. Kinda like the crystals from Area zero. Sootopolis was even made inside the crater of one of those that fell, pretty much like Area Zero is. Aside that, let's not forget that both Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon are in a way Paradox pokémon from the past. Also, it's heavy implied that the disk pokémon came from outer space, just like how Deoxys did. Both came from from outer space on a meteor. The meteors that came before Deoxys crashed on earth and caused the Mega Evolution, but the one carrying Deoxys was destroyed before arriving on earth (ORAS only) and then we fight it. On Paldea it was opposite, the meteor with the disk pokémon managed to land.

[@krimson4257]

To the final bits in this video: 1; to get all sciency, time is a product of gravity, so that could possibly clean up some knots in the puzzle. 2; magnemites weren't yet a species in hisui, so arceus brought their normal form back to us to use before they were native to sinnoh. 3; it could be that the paradox pokemon are from alternate dimensions, as the disk pokemon crashed and created the crater it could have pulled pokemon from alternate dimensions to it, and then shut off the portals trapping them here

An Italian channel called Cydonia already made a theory a couple years ago about Zygarde, Necrozma and Eternatus are earthly forms of 3 of the Giants that in sinnohian legends fought against Arceus and lost. They are giving part of their power to other Pokémon to expand their reach and control over the world: Necrozma with Z-Moves, Eternatus with Dainamax, and speculatively Zygarde with Mega Evolution. The Disk Pokémon is yet another of these Titans, and is using his power to give Terastal and grant the wishes of whomever encounters it (Sada and Turo wishing to encounter Ancient and Futuristic Pokémon).

I think the designation "paradox" houses more meaning than we think: Due to the weird mistakes with the past paradoxes, that could mean they're from discarded timelines that couldn't connect with the actual one, calling them actual paradoxes because they can't possibly exist. That also explains why the magazines are the source of the paradoxes origin

[@JayTeeBeez]

I think what also adds a layer of ,mystery to paradox Pokémon and time travel in general in the pokemon series is WHERE also in the timeline things lie, since we already know the Mega evolution route is supposedly a separate dimension (Which then asks where does Galar/Paldea and even Legends Arceus fall under then) from our own so its a wonder if the time machine itself is bringing all the paradox from the same timeline/era or is it pulling from multiple different timelines or etc, cause granted this can explain why certain don't seem to make sense given our timeline but it could've been from a completely different timeline or etc. Cause its a wonder if all the paradox are actually from around the same time or etc too.
