But we have no idea how long Lavos was on the planet for, thats the whole point about the pocket dimension and time error.

What? No, you missed the whole point of the Pocket Dimension and Time Error. We know how long Lavos was on Earth. We SAW HIM LAND and then we SAW HIM DIE.

The Pocket Dimension and Time Error theories were used to explain how you can kill Lavos's head in the future and it will still be dead in the PAST, and how you can destroy parts of the Black Omen in any time period and they'll still be gone in the past, and so on. They were made to solve the problem of non-linear time demonstrated in CT. It has nothing to do with how long Lavos was on earth. Hell, I can give you an exact figure: 65,013,999 years. There. That's EXACTLY how long he's been on earth.

But Lavos can time travel, well sort of, he isnt in a particular time, yes he landed in 65,000,000 bc, but it could of been 5 seconds before the CT game, because of the pocket dimension stuff and whatnot.

The Pocket Dimension wasn't created until he landed though. And it's not that he's time traveling, it's that the Pocket Dimension exists on it's own timeline.

What kazmaka is pointing out is that we don't really know if one second in the Chrono dimension is the same as one second in Lavos' pocket dimension.

As usual Chrono'99 is hitting the mark on my points, thankyou.

We already know it's not running off main, or even linear time though. The way it seems to go down, Lavos lands and the Pocket Dimension is created, and Lavos begins eating. One "second" later someone (Zeal) starts stealing his energy, so he comes out and busts some caps. Goes back and continues eating. Right when he gets back, someone tries to summon him, but it's interrupted, so he shrugs it off and continues eating. One "second" later he decides he's full, so he comes up to bust some more asses in the Apocalypse.

The point of disagreement was on this statement:

That might be how long his pocket dimension has been connected to Earth, but we don't know if it's equal to how much time Lavos spent inside his pocket dimension.

I've always figured that time in the Pocket Dimension was perpendicular, so it's a moot poit.
