Does his answer change based on how much /if you tip?

I was talking with my friend a few hours ago about the weird things Game Freaks has been putting into the games in the later years.

We talked aboutLt. Surge origin and his connection with Unova,the elevator girl,how AZ is able to live for 3000 years(all things I’d like to probably work into a question later on)One argument tho stayed with me and brought me here to ask you for clarifications.

In my playthrough of Pokémon Y I’ve encounter the man in the spooky house near the swamp,the one that tells the tale of how, during a storm, he had found safety inside those four walls only to be greeted by a terrified man, crouched in the corner, that screamed to back away and when approached again would warn the man about five faceless men standing behind him.

Now, by itself, the story doesn’t bring us anywhere.You also have the possibility to waste money on this guy giving him a tip,and that’s part of the question I’d like to ask.

I haveY, andDID NOTtip him.My friend hasX, andgave a tip.

Altought the outcome was the same.He didn’t tell us anything more about the story.

My friend brought up an interesting theory for this event.It’s a foreshadowing.

It may be a long shot, but hear me out.The camera pans over likeit’s slipping down from the ceiling,the man says that, unless you tip,you will be haunted and may see something terrible.

So, the camera’sserpentinemovement, the"horde" of 5 men, the fact that you’ll bechased by something badif you don’t show your respect for the man and the creepy ambient he’s trying to create, themysterious terrified man.

Does it ring any bell?

What if the man mentioned in the tale is actuallyAZ?That after years of searching for his beloved Floette, after years from thedestructionhe created,thedisorderin the ecosystem caused by his machine,he would face the consequences of being chased by theOrder Pokémon?

As its entries read:

X When the Kalos region’s ecosystem falls into disarray, it appears and reveals its secret power.Y It’s hypothesized thatit’s monitoring those who destroy the ecosystemfrom deep in the cave where it lives.

It’s just a theory, so don’t call me out on it.

Regardless, here are my questionsDoes the dialog change based on how much money you give the Old Man?Does it change from game to game?Am I alone with my friend on the AZ / Zygarde ordeal?

Let me know what you guys think and please, if you can, answer at least the first two questions!

Thanks a bunch![1]:http://oi39.tinypic.com/2i0yidc.jpg

Nope. Stays the same.

There are just two versions of the games, and they have near identical story lines. There hasn’t been any such discrepancy between them. So no for this one as well.

Well the thing about this world is that you’re almost never the only one (or two, counting your friend). Although most people wouldn’t have thought so in-depth about the seemingly fraud Spooky House manager. As for who else did though… well you’ll never find out until you actually go and ask people around, but I’d not really include a list here of people who do though.

(you may skip this part, mainly an opinion of mine down there)

About the theory then, with all due respect to opinions: LOL love it when they begin hatching conspiracy theories like this. But, I doubt it was Zygarde, because if you think practically, that thing looks nothing like 5 faceless men. It’s head/eyes it too prominent for that. If I were that “terrified man” I would much rather have noticed those glittering eyes before the frills. Also, since it’s head is mostly held upright, it would seem that the “5 faceless men” are towering without a body, hence not looking human (men) at all.

The foreshadowing bit is pretty convincing first sight. But that means that this is probably going to happen again (being a foreshadowing of the future). Now, of the foreshadowing theory was true, the most likely target would be theplayer. Because:

But here’s the flaw. As per the theory, Zygarde actively chases down the wrong-doer. Quite the opposite happens in the game, as we are meant toactively locate Zygarde in the Terminus Cave.Also, I don’t see why Zygarde would care whether you tip or don’t tip a spooky house.

Hope I helped!
