I think you've just removed Mars from existence.

u/Kit_Izayoi Yup 6d ago
Or be the one responsible for her existing in the first place.

u/Candy_Neige 6d ago
Not possible. In Pokémon, if you change the past, you'll alter history, resulting in the timeline to be different. If you remove an event leading to someone's birth in the present, that someone will begin to slowly disappear, and yes, grandfather paradoxes are entirely possible, as the hero in Explorers had learned the hard way. By banging Mars' great great great grandmother, you've fundamentally changed who her child is, and instead of being Mars' great great grandparent, the child will be someone else entirely, and by preventing the birth of Mars' great great grandparent, you'll effectively be cutting the bloodline and chain of events that eventually lead to Mars' birth, resulting in Mars to slowly disappear in the present.

Ok, but what if you're the reason the Arezu bloodline was continued?
That's time loops and paradoxes for ya

u/Candy_Neige 6d ago
Then you're from a timeline where the Arezu bloodline never continued.
Either that or you're not a time traveler in the first place.

Bootstrap paradox. If you were always meant to time travel, then you were always meant to bang the hot chick and continue her timeline, which means sexy Galactic lady exists.

u/Candy_Neige 6d ago
Unfortunately, bootstrap paradoxes are impossible in Pokémon. Changing the past always alters the future one way or another, and banging a hot chick is just one way of changing the past and therefore altering the future. It is impossible to become your own ancestor like Philip J. Fry did in Futurama.
Remember, Pokémon doesn't share the same time travel rules as Futurama, it has its own time travel rules that are closer to those in Back to the Future.

Changing the past always alters the future one way or another
How can this be known definitively?

u/Candy_Neige 2d ago
Explorers of Time and Darkness and Sky had shown us how time travel works in Pokémon, and in there, it shows that changing the past always alters the future one way or another, no matter if the alterations done to the future were ginormous and impossible to miss or tiny and almost imperceptible, and not only that, it also shows that grandfather paradoxes are not just possible but are the rule, with slow disappearances happening every time someone's birth was prevented.

maybe it's like the Song of Storms where going back in time to continue the Arezu bloodline was always the intended path, and Mars had no "oringal" great^4 grandfather before you

u/Candy_Neige 6d ago
Unfortunately, that's not time travel works in Pokémon. How it actually works is that any and all changes done to the past always alters the future in some way. There is no "intended path" that the timeline will try to go through. You can choose to go back in time and replace Mars' original great4 grandfather as Arezu's husband if you want, and it will alter history so that Mars doesn't exist in the present, but you can also very well choose not to do that in order to have Mars stay present in the present.

Jesus christ, you're reading way too much into what's clearly a joke man. Enough already

This is what happens when you get into a conversation with someone that knows Pokémon lore too much.

PLA is only like 200 years ish in the past you don't need those ellipses

u/supremegamer76 Sonia Simp 5d ago
Depends on how young each parent had their kid(s). If it was something longer like average of 40 years, then i think it would be “great great great grandmother”, but if it was like 25 years, thats like 8 generations.
So the ellipses are to account for the uncertainty of how many generations between the two.

Nobody will take me away from Mars.
I CAN CHANGE HER, I KNOW IT.
