Who here think's PSZ has a lot more depth than what it lets on?

[Eclipse5632]

PS0 could have done with less in-your-face plot points. PSO requires a decent amount of speculation to piece everything together.

I don't like having to speculate about what happened in the game I just played. I liked how PSO had that kind of cryptic conspiracy-theory-type plot, but I never got a solid answer as to what the hell was going on and I'm too lazy to scour the internet for answers.

True. PSO doesn't really give you a definitive answer for a lot of things... but most of it IS eventually stated outright.

Not sure how much more detail was in BB's gov't quests.

Admittedly, I never completed Episode 2 and never touched 3, so that might have something to do with it now that I think about it. >_>

Oh well.

[MinscTFA]

Well yeah there is an incredible amount of esoteric detail that isnt in the manual that people either have to learn through trial and error or previous PSO knowledge...but yeah I agree haha.

I'm reminded of the different thickness of the manuals in my Japanese and English copy of PS0. The english manual, which has both english and french, is thinner than its Japanese counterpart (no color either >.> ). May have something to do with the font size but I still think things are dumbed down.

Response to spoilers:

Spoiler!

Actually, I'd argue that the Pioneer Project left before Mother Trinity went corrupt. Once she went berserk, she wiped the planet clean pretty fast... That, and it would make Falz's appearance coincide nicely between PSO and PS0. So... 200 years after Zero? This of course, assumes that the Pioneer ships can ignore special relativity (Which is what makes lightspeed an absolute speed barrier), though, given the times in the PSO Ep I intro, and the warp-gate-ish seal (that happens to be the title screen, photon blasts, etc as well), this is likely.

Mild spoilers:PS0 is probably 200ish years after PSO

mmmmm yeah ill get right on that mission.

so Zetagear, you're saying that

Spoiler!

1 the planet that PSZ happens on starts to die. 2. they build mother trinity 3 Mother gets infected. 4 they board the pioneers?

and randomness says that

Spoiler!

the pioneer project launced and the people who got left behind built trinity in a last attempt for survival?

id have to agree with randomness since pioneer 2 was supposed to have almost everyone from coral on board meaning that few people would be left and would be the ones who

Spoiler!

built mother trinity in a last ditch effort to survive

anyone with evidence against that, do speak up!

as long as i get to have popcorns and watch what happens

[Night SSc7]

we'll never know unless sega tells us, relax and wait for it

As far as the timeline goes, I'd have to say that PSZ would have to have occurred first. It seems pretty backwards to say that PSZ, which has Booma Origins and such, happened afterwards. Of course, this is all speculation until Sega makes an official release. Though I could, plausibly, see the following sequence of events:

1.) Coral is already starting to decline as a result of ravaging wars.
2.) Mother Trinity is built to correct the matter, and Dark Falz corrupts her.
3.) Mother Trinity wipes out Coral and contaminates the planet.
4.) Some of the survivors on Coral build Pioneer 1 and 2 to find a non-contaminated planet.
5.) Pioneer 1 and 2 depart for Ragol.
6.) In the wake of any interplanetary disaster, there will be isolated pockets of survivors, which begin rebuilding civilization.
7.) Dark Falz occupies new host body in Rico on Ragol and is too distracted by the events there to pay any attention to Coral's rebuilding.
8.) Pioneer 2 hunters waste Rico, returning Dark Falz's attention to Coral, thereby cuing Mother Trinity to send Reve and Sarisa down to the surface.
9.) Cue PSZ plotline.

Of course, this assumes that Dark Falz, as a crazy interstellar consciousness bent on chaos and destruction, can occupy two entities at the same time. Granted, it's completely spastic, but hey, we are dealing with a crazy video game plot, here.

but we need to take into account that when dark falz was released in PSO he had been imprisoned in the ruins for a very long time already. meaning that either he can warp space and time, or exist in two places at once.

honestly i wouldnt be too surprised at either.

[TaciturnBadger]

Hmm, good point. Or, here's a couple of other possibilities:

1.) There are multiple Dark Falzes, all of whom are bent on destroying every vestige of Pokémon in the multiverses.

2.) Dark Falz is actually a pissed-off Pal Rappy who was born with only yellow feathers and didn't get a Tootise Roll, therefore he can occupy any non-Tootsie Roll-affected person at any point in time. He was imprisoned on Ragol for so long because Tootsie Rolls only existed on Coral until the idiots on Pioneer 1 brought Tootsie Rolls and cakes with them (hence the existence of the sweet shop in the caves, which allowed Dark Falz to resurface fully).

3.) Dark Falz is now occupying Richard Simmons.
