Question

36 – Generation Why? says: When Revealed: Discard the top card of each player’s deck for each ally and Persona support in play. White Fox says: Response: After White Fox is discarded from the top of your deck, put her into play under your control. If I have X amount of allies and Persona supports in play and I discard White Fox from Generation Why’s effect, does her presence increase the amount of cards to be discarded or is it fixed at the moment the side scheme is revealed? Or more generally: what’s the rule of a thumb about when values are checked?

Answer

The “When Revealed” on Generation Why checks for the amount of ally cards & Persona supports in play at the moment of its initiation. White Fox being discarded & put into play as a result would not change how many cards are discarded from each player’s deck. Generation Why would need to have a lasting effect built-in for White Fox to affect the amount discarded.
