After going through Ghetsis' and Colress' dialogue, I am thoroughly convinced the latter was responsible for Genesect. Or at least Gamefreak had that concept in mind.
It's just fits too well.

Except the scientist who actually created Genesect from BW1 is still present in BW2 to give you the drives.Quote:

Honestly I don't get why they didn't change that. Colress is literally a few dozen feet away from the event, and would be a far better character for it than some random NPC. It's not like the scientist from BW1 precludes his involvement either, as Genesect's OT is "Plasma" instead of "Dudley" and the Pokedex entries speak of the group as a whole talking about who modified it.Quote:

So, who's up for theories on how three of the Village Bride musicians are actually the Shadow Triad?
Surely there's a reason for them being referred to as "Dark Musicians" by an NPC.
I loved his dialogue, it was quite funny! Probably because I have a classmate who talks *exactly* like that, but it seemed natural to me.Quote:

Plus, Colress is far from your usual scientist...and only joined in more recent times, not existing to Team Plasma's intentions back in the time that Genesect would theoretically have been worked on by Scientist Dudley.Quote:

The scientists who worked on Genesect set out to create the most powerful Pokémon ever (which is hardly true right now in terms of BST, meaning Genesect's full potential has not been brought out yet and is an "unfinished experiment") while Colress sets out to research Pokémon strength in general and how to unlock it.
Before you battle Norman he mentions that he moved from Olivine City to Petalburg City to become strong.
So we now have official confirmation of the RSE player characters original home town.
This also might mean more then half of the player characters have had an interaction with Jasmine at one point.
Ooh wow, that's a very nice thing to know! oAo Olivine City, though, oops. I always imagined it was New Bark Town.
That's pretty cool! I always pictured Goldenrod myself, with the Gym still being Normal before Whitney came along.
During Norman's residence in Olivine City at that point in time Jasmine would have been a Rock-type gym leader. Unless her specialty was retconed like some other details about Steel-types.
May I ask the thread: Did anyone notice just how much Vio (dear old Zinzolin) hates the cold. Makes you wonder why he signed up to join New Team Plasma in the conquest of the Unova Region using Kyurem...
He strikes me as a masochistic thrill seeker.Quote:

It wasn't retconned, even though you're right that Game Freak removed the references to Steel being a newly discovered type. But we don't know that Jasmine was the gym leader when Norman lived in Olivine, as the quote you're thinking of merely says that "Jasmine used to use Rock Pokémon like Onix." Perhaps she only became a gym leader after changing her specialty.Quote:

So Christoph and Nancy actually co-exist...so I don't know why they force one gender to interact with the other rather than letting us choose.
