For real. The Mystri stage, that diagram thing that connects the legendaries from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh, the connection between the creation of the universe and the unowns making a mystical between Johto and Sinnoh. This worldbuilding was awesome.
Gen V changed the direction of it, but this was actually good, it's a region far from the first four after all

I think it upped the stakes too much and I always felt Sinnoh was kind of a shit region to be the culmination of Pokemon lore, but yea it was cool.

>>57955026 (OP)
I like the whole aesthetics of that alchemic diagram

>>57955026 (OP)
Agreed, it really was the culmination of the series' lore. Gen V and onward lore was more restricted to the single region

>LE POKEMON ACTUALLY CREATED EVERYTHING!
wow such cool and interesting worldbuilding and wasn’t at all a massive jumping of the shark

>>57955026 (OP)
The concept of "in-universe Pokegods" is the worst thing to ever happen to the series and has generated so much autism that even Masuda directly saying Arceus isn't actually a god can't dissuade people from being retarded

>>57955055
>>57955057
much better than gen 1 beta lore.

>>57955057
Arceus IS a god. You can't just say he isn't when he created the whole fucking universe

>>57955057
remember, the one you catch isn't true Arceus.

>>57955057
Fanlore is always more interesting than oficial statements

>>57955057
Whichever way you look at it the Gen 4 legendaries are 100% gods.

>>57955055
There's nothing outlandish about it. Go play some SMT you little atheist bitch so you can learn how awesome eldritch monsters and gods are.
