*taps mic* hey what if the pokémon in the dark future just don't age at all, since time stopped? not suggesting that's canon but I think it'd be a really interesting angle to explore things from. potentially, any pokemon living there would be functionally immortal if food and water were easy to come by, and if it wasn't for all the other pokemon who tend to lash out and get violent (like spiritomb) due to the state of the world.

Everyone living in the future wasn't born there, nobody can even have children any more, just as nobody can grow up or evolve. Despite them all having seen the sun back before this all started, they've been in this state for so long that they've forgotten anything about what that was like, or even that they saw it at all. It's all just one big, neverchanging blur that's always been the same, forever. They've always been this age. They've only ever seen the planet paralysed. Nothing's ever been different.

I think that'd probably add quite a bit to Grovyle, hero and Celebi's decision to go back and fix things, too. Disappearing would almost definitely be better than living forever in a miserable world that never changes with no end in sight, especially if they couldn't even remember their beginnings. At least then, other people get a chance.

(it would also mean there'd definitely be versions of all of them that still exist after fixing time, not that they'd have any way of knowing that. but it'd be fine for them to exist without any harm to the world at all)

still standing by the hc that team skull's zubat goes very quickly from a golbat to a crobat upon evolution because he genuinely enjoys the company of the others and because they all enjoy being total dicks for no reason and that's enough to achieve that friendship threshold

Concept I thought of recently and I really like: the relic fragment as a protective ward.

Originating from the hidden land (somewhere we've seen contains lots of paintings and imagery of a lot of different legendaries) and having some kind of canon magical properties to it (it chooses who it deems worthy and seems to present itself to them as seen with Partner), I think it'd be neat if it also had ways of protecting its chosen bearer, to guarantee them the best possible chance of achieving their mission.

Therefore: the relic fragment working as a protective charm against the powers of most legendaries.

This could work as a good excuse for why Uxie's Groudon illusion is so easy to beat despite being hyped up, and why it seems to fizzle out so quickly on defeat.

More importantly though, it could be used as a fun justification for why Darkrai doesn't intervene until the post-game (and potentially how Palkia was able to break in so easily around the same time) - the partner has given up the relic fragment by this point, with it taking its place in the rainbow stoneship. Hero's proximity to the partner (and therefore the relic fragment) meant Darkrai couldn't do anything before now unless he wanted to show his face and act directly - which he's very averse to doing.

It doesn't work against primal dialga tracking them for one of two reasons - either its power is useless in the future because the hidden land is in ruins, or because the protection isn't designed to protect from Dialga. After all, what happens if the owner of the fragment goes rogue? Dialga needs a way to put a stop to that, of course.

PLEASE dont forget the incredibly racialised aspect of transmisogynistic murders and violence i am begging yall to not forget the incredibly racialised aspect of transmisogynistic muders and violence. the trans women being murdered are most often black women! they are often sex workers! the murder problem exists at an intersection of yes transphobia and misogyny, but also racism and classism! transmisogynoir is a violent killer! PLEASE im begging yall to not forget the racialised nature of transmisogynistic murders and violence!!!

bat at hornets nest maybe but "there is no ethical consumption under capitalism" refers to low income communities needing to choose between survival vs being eco friendly. not you continuing to watch the harry potter movies
