[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

It's interesting to think about how different things would and could have been if I'd have suggested a different species of Pokemon to be bred as the Infiltrator.

I've also been mentally laughing several times the day about meme-ish conversations between these two, like the following:

Dizzy is italic, Calam is underlined.
---------------------------------------------

- *spots Calam, gasps sharply and is incerdibly fascinated* "Hello, future-me!!~" (°〇°)
- *nuzzles Dizzy affectionately* "Hello, past me!!~ Aww, the good old days of being young and innocent." ^_^
- "Dafaque has happened with your - my - face however? It looks painful." *stares at the scars from really close* o.o;
- *nervous sweating* "Eh.... Uhm.... Well.... Don't ask? You'll find out soon enough by yourself." (ಠ_ಠ)
- "......Okay." ( ._.)

If Dizzy knew he would eventually be Calam, I'm thinking Calam probably would have told him when we found ROCK SMASH and no sooner, seeing as that was a big, potentially paradoxical event (though it is possible that Calam managed to convince Dizzy without revealing the time loop, and Dizzy never knew about Calam'strue identity until he had basically become his future self).  And even then, there are still enough differences between the young and grown versions that they could definitely be considered separate individuals.

But yeah, I definitely agree that Dizzy not knowing about what would eventually give him that scar was probably for the best...

Suffice to say, Nathan has a lot of questions for the Absol if he's willing to answer them.

Some other past actions from Calam also take on a bit of a different meaning with this new context: for example, Calam's acknowledgement of Shiva after she won her first gym battle (even though I was the one who came up with that one).  Similar, but also very different.
