((OOC: Pokemon Gen4 canon timeline))

OK. POKEMON CANON POINT. Because AIM is 100 butts.

Here are the things to discuss:

• Our current canon point is moments before Spear Pillar. That means the red chain has been created and the Lake Trio has been released, but Palkia and/or Dialga haven't been summoned yet.
• Do we want to do a canon update to post-Spear Pillar, then? Keep canon where it is? Retcon?
• Dawg has some concerns about doing an update: "The whole thing I'd be all "eh" about it is the fact of Dana's personality change post-spear pillar. If we're going to settle going by Plat's storyline. :'| It'd be so much of a hassle for me to redo her whole personality from "bubbly little thing that's curious but srs" to "so cold and untrusting to humans that she'd rather sit in a tree than go and talk to someone at first :'|" And of course Lucas' backstory would have to increase and there's a bunch of information that suddenly came crashing in because he's actually a major part in some of that part of the storyline "IE: Watching Legendaries fall from the sky and going "8O DAWN OMG" and stuff" skdfjskdf"
• Basically; Spear Pillar would have a profound effect on Dialga that Dawg doesn't really want happening quite yet, though canon updating would make things easier for Cyrus' characterization.
• Another concern I had: if it's all right with everyone, could we assume that the Platinum version of events is canon? It would have an important effect on potential Giratina appers, for one thing, and I'm not entirely comfortable with telling anyone who may be interested in apping Looker or Charon that their character is unappable or wouldn't be allowed to have any of their canon CR.

Donno. He says it's not what he's after because he wants to bring that to everyone. But he thinks he can control that world despite having nothing to do so with, which is what I mean by "so far gone".

Hmm. Icon icon icon...ah! Someone who found himself pulled into an alternate universe!

Eh. If you're gonna retreat somewhere to rework your even plans, might as well be a place where you can have total uninterrupted serenity/no Officer Jennies/keep an eye on one of them oh-so-useful legendaries.

True, but given what happened immediately before that and what he had to confess about himself...

Eh, I'm somewhat notorious for things like this.
