(Encyclopedia states that the machine in the second game is not Pagosu.)
(Removed some speculation (we don't know if he used it in Daisy's kidnapping, and the second machine is said to be stronger than original Pagosu). Changed "favorite Pagosu" to "favored Pagosu" since previous wording made it seem like there's more than one.)
