It's been explained to me before by a few people here that alternate worlds are simply a reality for them - that there are dimensions that supposedly run parallel to theirs, coexisting alongside them but not touching or crossing over at all, save by methods that are exceedingly difficult to master and control. Some of the Pokédex entries here seem to support this notion as well - there are mentions of things being able to tear open portals to parallel worlds and the like.

It's also come to my attention that a large amount of people here seem to share the same home world, just with different variations that may or may not be incredibly minor - a school in one world where it doesn't exist in another, a landmark that's slightly different, a renamed city, an event in history changing things ever-so-slightly such that one group of people exists or doesn't. It's not dissimilar to my own world's situation, when it's put that way - what happened with us is exactly that latter instance, actually, it's just that something diverged early on and as such things played out differently. However, it wasn't enough of a split to mean that some of us - myself, people I know, people I don't - don't exist in that other version of my world; we do, it's just that our lives and circumstances are different to account for the change.

If all of the above is true, then it makes me question - it's possible that all of our worlds are connected like that, even those that are drastically different, isn't it? If all worlds run parallel to one another, obviously no two are the same; there's been some sort of change that would warrant the separation in the first place. So if all worlds are variations on each other, those variations also have variations; isn't it possible that those worlds containing countries and races and abilities and practices that you've never heard of or dreamed possible are just further out from the source? Those are the worlds that have been filtered through more and more alternate scenarios until that particular set of circumstances was created.

Although if that's the case, then logically speaking, there should be one master world at the root of all of it - something that we can trace all of existence back to. I'm not saying that would be possible now, since for all we know that world is long dead; just the same, perhaps that world is what chooses us - what decides that we're the fortunate ones, the ones that have withstood the general test of being run through multiple scenarios and circumstances and not been killed or weeded out in the process.

It really is rude of me to make people sit through all of this, but it's something I've given a lot of thought to in the past, and it's been coming up time and again recently, so I thought I would revisit it. I've always found the notion that we were all born because some higher power decided we, specifically, needed to exist to fulfill a certain role in life to be farfetched and hackneyed; in my experience, God doesn't care what you do with yourself, as long as you're not upsetting the natural balance of the world. But I've always maintained that those who change the world have been chosen by the world in some way or another.

Who knows? What with proof that alternate worlds like this exist, maybe I'm right.

[Ralph's not so sure about upgrades...he's heard of repairs, sure. The Xerox Sheet of Doom was usually a bad omen but nothing seemed to change in the games it cast its shadow over. Unless...]

NEWER VERSIONS SURE

BUT THE OLD ONES TEND TO GET TOSSED OUT ONCE THEY BREAK DOWN

[Sorry, Kimblee, Ralph doesn't really buy into that Beyond the Wires business.]

AND AS FOR WHY WE WERE CREATED

WE WERE MADE FOR THE PLAYERS. WE ARE IN A GAME. A LOT OF PEOPLE DONT REALLY GET THAT

[Ralph isn't surprised that people listen to Kimblee before they listen to him.]

ITS SO FRUSTRATING

EVERYONE BACK HOME KNEW ABOUT THE OTHER GAMES. THEY GOT THAT THEY WERE JUST ONE OUT OF DOZENS

BUT HERE IT'S SOME BIG SURPRISE. MAYBE THEY GOT SCRAMBLED WHEN THEY ARRIVED
