am i the only one who thinks Hyperspace Lumiose is one of the more terrifying concepts in pokemon? like, i get that they explained what it is, but i don't think they fully DID, y'know?
like, it's a dream. it's consuming the world. it's a liminal hellscape version of reality. the people and pokemon there stop existing once you leave but if you bring them out with you they keep existing. the people in there are barely lucid but wonder if they're dead. an actual dead man approaches you on multiple occasions. everything there both is and isn't real until they step outside or the gate closes. like it's some sort of twisted nightmare occupying a space between Dreams, Unreality, and the Afterlife, and i feel like the implications for such a space are HUGE
