Why did Team Rocket leave the island? → Tipped off outside parties to bring Silph Co. in as unwitting infrastructure contractor.
Is Silph Co. complicit? → No. Victims of manipulation.
Catching system? → Standard FRLG Gen 3 mechanics.
When does Colress appear / is he with Helix Corp? → Independent, arrives early, drawn by scientific curiosity.
Is Dr. Amelia needed? → Cut. No defined arc; all roles covered by existing cast.
How are endings gated? → 5 accumulated choices + final decision. Beat 5 double-weighted with Giovanni override. See Narrative Script.
Can Destruction be reached through good intentions? → No. It requires engaging with Giovanni in Beat 5. It is always his ending.
