Do a count of how many of you all have autism

Are we counting peer and self diagnoses or only official? I think Drayton is the only one who isn't autistic. I wouldn't say he's neurotypical though. Perhaps he has ADHD; inattentive type. - Amarys

PARADOX BEASTS THEORY THAT I NEED TO SHARE BECAUSE IT BASICALLY SOLVES EVERYTHING

Before I begin I need to say that Paradox Pokemon are from the ancient past and distant future. I don't like that the far removed ancestors and descendants of modern Pokemon look exactly like the ones today, but that's just the lore. AI Sada and Turo say it, the actual Sada and Turo wrote it in their journals, it's in all of the marketing, and it's literally just what using a "time machine" means. The games even set up a bootstrap paradox of the legendary's name, which would be dumb if it wasn't actual time travel, and we even see Terapagos use its time travel powers in the anime in the same place which isn't even up to interpretation, it's absolutely Rystal time traveling. One single line of dialogue says they come from alternate timelines, but at that point that line of dialogue is contradictory, not an explanation. And in the same event the professor later says that Paradox Pokemon being true ancestors and descendants is still a theory they have. Now that that's established. Ever since the games released people have called attention to Roaring Moon. Not only does it look like Mega Salamence, the resemblance is directly called out in Occulture and the Pokedex. This seems to parallel a Pokedex entry about Mega Aerodactyl, which says that it's the true form of Aerodactyl meaning the one revived from a fossil is inaccurate. From this, we can derive that the lore of Mega Evolution involves Pokemon awakening ancient, dormant genes and changing their appearance to be more like their ancestor species. The key to activating these genes was told to us all the way back in X and Y, a sudden burst of life energy. This is the same life energy emitted by Xerneas and absorbed by Yveltal, and that can also be turned into Infinity Energy in order to be used as a power source like in the Ultimate Weapon and New Mauville.

This is where Walking Wake, Raging Bolt, and Gouging Fire come in. Their existence has been perplexing obviously because of how Suicune, Raikou, and Entei only came into existence 150 years prior to Johto, which is even after the Scarlet book was published (200 years prior to Paldea) so how could these creatures exist then, or even in the ancient past. One conclusion that could be drawn is they simply evolved into the unknown Pokemon that died when the Brass Tower burned down, but that invited the question of "Why did Ho-oh revive them to look like their ancient ancestors?" Really, this whole issue can be summarized with the question of "Why do these Ancient Pokemon look like the Legendary Beasts?"

And that's where these two aspects of Pokemon lore come together. Ho-oh gave the deceased Pokemon live, reviving them into the Legendary Beasts. No one ever really thought to question why the act of reviving these Pokemon altered their appearance, but Mega Evolution may tell us why. Ho-oh gave them a sudden burst of Life Energy, and this awakened within them their ancient genes that caused them to resemble their ancient ancestors. In a way, this makes the Legendary Beasts almost like Mega Evolutions. The burst of life energy is what caused their appearance change. This even further explains why these Pokemon are a paradox, how can the ancestors of the Legendary Beasts be in the present day if they need to evolve into different Pokemon that then perish and are revived?

So the Paradox Beasts aren't anomalies that prove Paradox Pokemon need to be from alternate timelines, they really expand the lore of not only the Legendary Beasts, but of Ho-oh and Life Energy as well.

Likodot Eyes prompt I wanted to do something simpler so I could actually finish it instead of just having a sketch. Also it’s Free Fall propaganda because I’m insane.
