#love these looks into save files. what on earth did this person need three tropius from the future for

[claitea]

since in the comments of my ask about the white save i mentioned this abandoned platinum save i got, here it is!

the lowest date pokemon is from june 2008, the highest date.... 2049? theres three tropius from 2049, and while there are other 2049 pokemon -- wait, i take that back, theres 1 marill from 2099 - but the fact all three tropius are from then startles me (about the 2049) the most. however, the highest not in the future date is jan 2013 -- however, given the obvious time travel shenanigans, im not sure how much we should trust this

also -- this caused me to learn that tropius is NOT a starter pokemon? while i like pokemon i havent played most of the games (and esp dont know too much about the pre-hgss ones), and ive been assuming that tropius is a starters final stage evolution, and seeing these tropius from 2049 at lv28 made me think, "is this legit"? and doing internet search... i found its not a starter? or even in an evolution line? what the hell. this is probably well known to you but its really weird and surprising to me

but anyways, since this file was so close to completing the regional dex, and i wanted to be able to get japanese dittos from this save before transferring every pokemon over, i completed the dex here, which makes me feel a bit of attachment to this file...

the playtime is in the 80s (not saying full number as my usage of this file mightve added an extra hour or two to it)

YEAHHH MORE OLD SAVE FILE EXPLORATION!! i wonder why time travel was used so severely on this file? i remember once my sister messed with my ds time without me knowing and all it did was make join avenue's shops not reset for a day in bw2. i dont think time travel does anything in pokemon? probably time traveling for a different game and didnt switch it back for when they booted up this one is my guess

also honestly? thinking tropius wasnt a single stage isnt too out there, it really does feel like it should evolve from something. i hope it gets a regional evo or something like that... its a really nice pokemon its just so underappreciated!! needs a buff or something So badly
