Floran's Manly Dropoff

I kept wondering if the future paradox pokemon are artificial. They do come from the future, after all. I imagine pollution would make the world inhabitable for many Pokémon and would die out. However thanks to pokemon researchers being as nerdy as they are, they likely had what they needed to create synthetic replicas made to resemble the original in every way. They are likely outfitted with an AI in order to process emotions the way the originals do and whatnot. I've always found it a bit uncanny, how Iron Bundle might secretly be a springlock suit, but well... artificial or not, he is a certified good boi. But that said, I am now awaiting the Indigo Disk on both Scarlet and Violet. I've been trying as hard as I can to avoid any kind of spoilers whatsoever. I like to go into these things completely blind.

Started Indigo Disk not long ago and I've already found a shiny. Doesn't look much different from the original, but it becomes more clear when it evolves.

The Indigo Disk has been taken down in both Scarlet and Violet. Now, I'm doing the coaches thing. So... Of course I brought Iono. I did a bit of research but accidentally spoiled myself a bit too much. However. If you do the guest coach things, I will say that Director Cyrano is a God for the reward he gives you.
