…uh, no, it is not. It looks nothing whatsoever like Darkrai. It looks like a giant demonic floating Celebi with no feet and skeletal Charizard wings.



The crossword will be updated whenever I get around to making it.

Uh, this is a bit unrelated, but when will the Monthly Crossword be updated?

Actually, the game timeline has the Hoenn series happening at the same time as the Kanto series, so it's clear it's not just that all the other Pokémon weren't discovered until later. :/ It's just a difference between the Pokémon found in individual regions.

Doesn't Sammy see Pokemon that weren't Kanto series based? That itself is a little bit of a paradox on the entire Pokemon timeline. Er,well,to me it is. Seeing on how I follow the broken video game chronology.

…vanish but not disappear? That should be "reappear". x.x

Well, in the original timeline he was never missing for 40 years - he is Oak, after all, and Oak's been there the whole time in Ash's timeline. That works with the assumption he traveled forward in time and then back just fine; there is no paradox there. The fact Towa believed he'd been missing for forty years, on the other hand, is problematic, because when Sammy returns to his own time, we see her talk to him so she knows he's fine, and she doesn't pick up his sketchbook. If the sketchbook had been left out of it and Towa had, say, seen him vanish but not disappear, it would make sense as an immutable timeline sort of thing, but as it is, it simply can't make sense, even if we took the approach of multiple timelines, because Oak is still present in Ash's timeline and the sketchbook proves that this Oak is the one that went through time.

All right, I watched the movie. And I'm confused. So Sammy disappeared for 40 years, but at the end when he gets back it doesn't make sense, because that means Ash doesn't meet him in the future because he was never missing for 40 years. This is the time paradox you were talking about, right Butterfree?

I know it's a Pokémon movie, but it still bugs me…

Yay, thanks for getting me interested in the anime and movies again Butterfree :P (At least the first couple of seasons. I don't mind until Hoenn starts, then I hate it.)

Reading that review while using Celebi style was absolute win.

It can mean that too, but here it means Computer-Generated Imagery.

Doesn't CGI stand for Common Gateway Interface?
