About a year ago, I made a discussion on how some actions, including some Pokémon ones, are not as simple to be accomplished as they seem - all based on my experience at that time and previously. In this way, the "true nature" of those things are revealed, albeit not in the most pleasant of ways - relatively at least. With recent happenings, Pokémon or otherwise, I'm inclined to revisit this topic, only with a focus on the "true nature" aspect.
For example, it is easy to describe Pokémon moves, skills, abilities, and the like in words - like the move details now commonplace in the main series games, or the specific actions on TCG cards - but putting them into practice is the part that sheds light on what happens when they are executed or put in play. In other words, their "true nature" is only revealed at the moment that things happen and actually play out.
Competitively, Pokémon games still rely on what is called "imperfect information", even with the rest being or having to be made available through team sheets, deck lists, and so on. It's that "imperfect information" that may often become the deciding factor, and even now, some things remain unknown along with their "true nature". Still, a lot of that is also revealed during actual play, whether the results go one way or another.
"True Nature" also happens to be the title of a Yanni musical piece and is admittedly part of the inspiration of this post. It's a slightly slow piece that in a way demands those who listen to it to make a contemplation of things, which may just include the manifestations - that is, the "true nature" - of the above aspects. It's especially helped by its repetitively melodic characteristic, which might lead people to go over things as well.
Even now, the "true nature" of some Pokémon things is also revealing itself in bits at a time, and I'm in need of making sense of it all - perhaps at a slow pace as demanded by the musical
piece that partly inspired the thoughts of this post. And once again, they're not necessarily as simple as they look; contemplation is still at hand one way or another, and the only hope is to find the "true nature" in the best way possible.
