is it not kinda illogical for articuno and suicune to have paradox version and regional variants

[Bob74h]

articuno and suicune were created by ho oh and lugia respectively



So it kinda makes no sense why these one of a kind beings have past versions and regional versions



Ig the lore on these characters were wrong and rather then being special created individuals were in reality just members of a larger species





Kinda dont get why they had to give the legends these versions when it contradicts the lore given on them



Paradox pokemon are kinda just fossil pokemon in a since as it's just bringing back more ancient pokemon that no longer exist today

Aren't paradox Pokemon and future Pokemon from a different timeline all together? Hence Paradox.

Pretty sure at least.

 

[Roo]

you could just retcon it as they were recreated as those pokemon because those are the ones each legend command control over. Or say it is just legend, and scientifically they've always existed but follow their trio master

also i don't think lugia created the legendary birds but i could be wrong

I thought so too at first but it seems to just be stated
that they are past versions

If that's the case, then yeah that flat out makes zero sense

Gamefreak ruining their own lore for cheap, dumb Pokémon? I’m shocked!

Scream tail

billion year old jiggypuff and great tusk. living relic of the dinosaur era

slither wing, a prehistoric volcarona


and it's said that they live in different eras to the normal pokemon and are brought here by a time machine

so just seems to be the case that all the paradox pokemon are ether past or future versions of already existing pokemon


Im doubting that both of the wiki's are just lying
https://pokemon.fandom.com/wiki/Paradox_Pokémon
https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Paradox_Pokémon

soooo

just seems like gamefreak made a past version of a originally special one of a kind legendary
same way they turned all the legendary birds into a species by making reginal variants when like the legendary dogs were originally created by their trio master

Articuno was not created by Lugia. No information was ever given as to how Articuno came about.

And Suicune was resurrected by Ho-Oh, but there's nothing that suggests that Ho-Oh created Suicune. Three Pokemon died at the tower, and they were resurrected, and those three Pokemon were Suicune, Entei, and Raikou.

That's all of the information that we're given.

A prehistoric Ho-oh made a prehistoric Suicune. Problem solved


The birds have no proper connection to Lugia as far as the games are concerned, and you might as well complain about them hatching out of eggs in Pokemon Snap before you complain "other birds that are similar but different also exist".
