If the "pacman" circle patterns are placed over the Paldea map they point out the exact locations of the four ruinous legendary shrines. It lines up too perfectly to be coincidence.
i agree. also, this might be wrong, but if you take the 4 ruins types starting with chien-po and going on this "pac man" thing of they eat the one infront... ice is strong against ground, ground against fire, fire against grass... but this is where it breaks... just a thought
I saw this image as well and it is kinda possible but you need 4 maps of pladea and if you look closely the creator of the image has moved around the lines and circles to make it look more accurate, even then they don't all line up perfectly. Not enough to notice it at a first glance but when you do it makes it pretty obvious that it likely has no meaning.
Area zero has been one of the most interesting locations pokemon has ever made in awhile. The amount of videos made on this area cause of how weird it is from a geological aspect and symbols and metal that is unknown to others screams for theories. I’m really looking forward to seeing answers to these questions in the dlc.
Its also one of the best locations in pokemon games imo, it looks really nice and the music is good too. The place also really resembles ‘made in abyss’ which I’d be surprised if that wasn’t part of the inspiration for the great crater of paldea
The triangle symbol isn't only reminiscent of a sextant, but also of a light cone (or null cone, basically 'zero cone'), a concept important to the theory of relativity and the concept of causality, and therefore, time travel as well.
I'm gonna have to disagree with you there, first of all, the triangles look nothing at all like a sextant, seems like the creator of that theory has never seen nor used a sextant in their life lol. Basically they went "ooh triangle, ooh another triangle" and assumed they were the same. And I'm not too sure about yours either since light cones don't overlap and also both cones are the same, not different like that.
I am actually playing in the area zero and i realized that when you arrive around the center of the zone when you can jump to go at its bottom, there is a layer of clouds. That reminded me of brine pools that you can find deep down in the sea when you have a big difference of salinity. Added to that there is the fact that it's exactly at this point that the landscape changes like a shift between two ecosystems. And the amount of cristalline pokemons (garganacl, glimmora) found at the bottom of the zone plus the terracristals are making me think that it might be inspired from the brine pools existing at the bottom of the sea. And when you search brine pools on the net it says that animals called loricifera live in this pools, animals that looks like glimmora and has an exosqueleton with plates made of silicate. Another coincidence is that loriciferas are found in spaces between marine gravels to which they attach themselves. And glimmora are found attached to walls in area zero.
I think ive figured out the e4 interview and possibly the real villain for the dlc. So geeta is implied to be some sort of traveler. She'd be aware of other paldeas. The interview has the name of the other games school and the other questions match what you think is at various locations with whats actually there. This tells me that geeta is trying to check if you came from another world. Im thinking another geeta could try to invade and replace the geeta we have now.
Doesnt the last symbol resemble an S and a T in a very stylish way? It might be a signature made by either Sada or Turo to sign their work. Having in mind that they are the "Final bosses" of the main story and also knowing their fate in the Area Zero It might be a reference to them.
I saw that too, because I know that the professor writes in the journals in area zero about "that woman/man walked out" so maybe it was a team effort in the beginning and that's their family insignia or something, to give credit to both sada and turo?
Yes, I was just about to post this, but I figured someone else must have noticed too. It's totally an "S" on its side layered with a "T" the only conflict with this theory is they're names aren't Sada and Turo in outside of English (except Turo on Korean) I do believe that Turo does exist in Scarlet, and Sada in Violet, and I hope.to see them in the DLC to either explain or cause all the weird inconsistencies with Heath's account.
To me, the last symbol looks like the path you follow from the 3rd lab to the bottom. That underground path does spiral quite a bit before it ends at the entry to the main lab where Sado/Turo are.
Honestly, I don't think its a time machine. The contents of the scarlet book makes it seem like that the terrestrial Pokémon brings to life imagination. Because Sada was interested in the past and the Pokémon mentioned in the book, it created what she imagined. Its a machine that brings what you imagine into reality.
9:10 I believe this symbol showing arrows spining in circle could represent the concept of time loop. This could explain why some of the paradoxe pokémon have been seen by Heath long ago before our journey. Some of the paradoxe pokémon may have been trapped into a time loop or the whole Paldea region is trapped inside a time loop.
I like this. I also think the plate with the overlapping triangles represents Pokémon legends arcus. The portal that brings the mc in legends is above a mountain and it creates the time riffs that let you catch out of time pokemon.
So paradox. How gaggy would it be if the professor at the end of our journey leaving really goes to the time where heath is in area 0 and that’s what causes cyclizar to have forms? Heath mentions he woke up to someone giving him notes etc. this would totally create a paradox of time. Also where have we seen this? PLA with igno & arceus
Another look at the triangle symbol is that it represents the Area Zero itself, first because it appears together with the Paldea shape in the plate, second because the Area Zero itself looks like a cone/triangle if seen from the side, and the other inverted triangle could mean some type of dimension that has the same shape but connect with the Pokémon universe (remembering that time itself is a dimension).
Area zero in no way looks like a cone/triangle if seen from the side lmfao. Also you completely forgot about the two 0s. Goes to show that you could say literally anything on the internet and people will agree with you.
The map on the plate has most of the major cities on it, it seems. Also the “pac-man” pattern is familiar. I recall seeing something like it in a movie with time travel as a plot point. Apparently the symbols were like a time travel device/map. Considering that we find one particular paradox species in abundance near it, it could be how the paradox Pokemon got to area zero before the Time Machine was built. Having two sources for paradox Pokémon just caused the population to go into overdrive and kicked off the plot of the game.
One thing I've been wondering. At the bottom of area zero by the zero labs, we see other buildings but can't go in. What are those buildings for and what's inside them? :)
They all seem to me to be creative depictions of different cultural understandings of time. The triangles: This one to me looks like an hourglass, a mechanism that depicts the passing of time in a linear and measurable way. One event happens and then another that it might have caused. The pacman: This one I'm least sure about, but without any overt patterns, the markings are all over this, which reminds me of the idea that everything all happens at once--time is what allows us to perceive one event then another that really are co-occuring The hexagons: These to me look like concentric circles or rings of some kind that are "flattened" to make edges, aka, a flat circle. This view of time suggests that everything has occurred before and will again in some kind of pattern. The squiggly: This one is very reminiscent of time as a cone, a cross between linear time and flat circle. One thing happens and then another, in thematic cycles that repeat throughout history, with changes over many repetitions.
The triangles are a rep of "as above so below". I believe Turo and sada are similar to the Rosalind twins from bioshock. I believe the reason why the school names are different and that one has future pokemon and the other ancient is that the two games rep two different timelines and Turo and sada have left those timelines and met eachother somewhere in time / space and the dlc will explore this.
Totally random, but the "squiggles" one to me looks like an image of the crater its self. The squiggle part is representation of how you travel up and down the crater. And it has the upside down L on the top right. This looks like a its representing a barrier. Showing the paradox pokemon are coming out of the barrier and in paldea. Hence the titan pokemon. May also explain why its found outside of the crater in the lighthouse?
There could be a connection to the war waged 3,000 years ago in the Pokemon World in the SCARLET and VIOLET DLC because we're informed about the war from 3,000 years ago but never told the full story
Here's my take, the spiral symbol is ment to represent the galaxy the World of Pokemon takes place, the measuring device symbol is used to calculate the earth's position as you can't send something through space-time and expect it to be at the exact same location due to the planets rotation around the Sun and the rotation of the galaxy . The hexagon is the time machine, and the intercepting rings/circles are ment to represent the location of parallel universes and to calculate how and where they have a branching/point of origin in which people and pokemon can pass through them freely. Did I miss anything?
One issue I see is that the shape that you claim to be the hexagon shape in the book is literally not the same as the one in the title. The one on the title could ofc just be an artistic representation of it but the one in the book is very different to the one on the title. The only similarity is hexagons. The one on the title looks more like a pokeball with things going to the side of a solid circle, and only 2 rings, where as the one in the book has way more rings, a hollow centre hexagon, and doesn't look like a pokeball at all. Ofc as I said it could just be an artistic thing but you'd think they would be a lil more consistent no? I think the final conclusion of it being the time machine itself is true, but I don't think it has anything to do with the book. Also imo the triangle thing doesn't look the slightest bit like a sextant (the navigatory device), once again, the only similarity is a very basic shape, a triangle. It is possible that it's a real connection but I just think fans are finding super basic shapes and then comparing them to other things with that shape end being like "aha, i've got it" And the only time it looks even mildly like a sextant is in the logo where it's rounded, it's not rounded in game though, and also the sextant never ever has two triangles. The two 0s could potentially be seen as the lenses but they aren't where they're meant to be and it's also a damn huge stretch. It's like seeing two rectangles and a circle next to each other and then deciding it's a phone. No 1, two rectangles, phone is one, No 2, phones aren't just rectangles. I think this confusion comes from people never having seen a sextant before and so when someone suggested it they had no proof against it so it must be true ig. So I personally think you're completely wrong about the triangle one. It could be time travel idk but the way you got to that conclusion makes 0 sense. It's pretty clear that (no offense) the person who constructed the theory for that one has never seen or used a sextant before, because they have no link to time travel and a sextant wouldn't make any sense to put on there considering unless someone has a plan or knows where to go it's useless, wow cool you know where you are now, doesn't matter cause there's literally no where to go because you went back before humans even existed. By navigatory device it doesn't mean it tells you where to go it just tells you where you are. Like I'm sorry but a lot of this video was a whole lot of massive stretching, too much to be true. Like you said that the 3rd symbol "must be related to time travel" because the other two are even though at no point in the game is it specifically related to time travel. And you said the last one represented time travel because it is on the professors whiteboard therefore the professors work which is about the flow of time which somehow means time travel, oh and I forgot to mention, if you look at it, that isn't even the same symbol. I think they all are connected to time travel since it's already in the game but I just think the arguments you've given for them are kinda right out your ass. If the symbols which look nothing like what they are in game are actually meant to be the same, I think gamefreak has done a big oopsie making them like that.
Don’t think we’ll get explanations for what exactly these symbols will mean, but I think wherever you can find these symbols (not as some scribbling in a book or a lab), their locations, or at least a couple of them will be important in the dlc. I do think something important will definitely appear in that cave with the pac-man-like designs. And perhaps you’ll have to visit that one plate throughout the questline (tho I think nothing will happen with this object). There’s also a chance we won’t see anything related to these in any dlc, and the dlc will simply be something else entirely. And perhaps that ‘third legendary’ will just be a mythic in a distribution event at the time of a movie. I also think a potential dlc will include travelling back in time (not forwards cus that’ll just leave u with an even more degraded area zero), in which we will then see what used to be there, we will see what used to be in that waterfall cave, perhaps where that plate came from etc. That would be interesting, being able to explore an old paldea
If this is the case, *and* if the DLC does indeed turn out to be southern Kalos, they could maybe do something with the Chamber of Emptiness? That still seems really important to me, having its own location name and map just to hold one of the Arceus plates? Nah.
Almost. I just checked the map and the dots are the locations of every town and city in Paldea. I assume that the plate came from the future since there is no known way in the present to somehow engrave it. But why would someone send this to the "past" (our present) when we already know those locations? Unless there is something we didn't discover yet 🤔
@@beegbraintako6140 probably something underground, probably some parts to build the time machine. Sent from the future to the past to make sure the time machine gets built.. Sent by Turo to Sada to make sure they'll meet and to make sure Arven exists
Here's an idea. The pokemon are classified as paradox pokemon. As in they should not there. But people are focusing and forgetting that space is a factor as well. They may vary well be from a parallel world. They may not from ARE time line
the very first thing I thought when looking at the symbols is, I think one of those is the ruin doors and one is the disk pokémon hexagon. the second thought I had was, this is giving me weird flashbacks to how people tried to interpret the background symbols in "Don't Hug Me I'm Scared" that the show suddenly decided to half-explain on its finale. does this mean pokémon's npcs are actually trying to escape the cycle of formulaic games edit: no, it doesn't match the doors, they have more of a circuit pattern. though you could almost argue it's four stakes
Great thoughts here! While I'm completely sold on at least the first symbol being a representation of the time machine, that just adds extra high octane fuel to the "how the hell did Heath know about things that wouldn't exist until years later?" fire of speculation that's been running rampant in my mind since I finished Aero Zero. I say that because that symbol is right there on the cover of the Scarlet/Violet book in-game as well. Thanks for that, lol.
Honestly im still not convinced about the time travel. I still think its a cover for the paradoxes being imagined into existence by the power of the 3rd legendary effecting people
Well, I hope we do get some kind of answers. If not, it could well become a plot hole. I would hope so. Once you beat the game, Arven does point out that how did the paradox Pokémon get mentioned in the scarlet and violet books, if the professors Time Machine was built after the books were written? So, is there some other time travel shenanigans going on? Did the paradox Pokémon get lost in transit from their time to the present, allowing for them to have been in area zero when heath explored it? Is it the work of this mysterious legendary Pokémon? It would be ridiculous if we don’t get an answer to at least that particular mon… surely, they wouldn’t tease a Pokémon like that and it never eventuate, right? Hmmm. Who knows? Maybe the DLC won’t be a new location, but new time zones. Maybe you could actually meet heath and join his expedition? Or maybe they’ll just drop it altogether and do something unrelated leaving it all a mystery. I hope that last one doesn’t happen.
God pokemon is so cool. They made pokeballs in basically the 1800s and now they have a literal time machine in the pokemon version of 2022. If only the real world was as advanced.
It's funny because there are so many unsolved mysteries in the Pokémon franchise that I don't even bother paying attention to any of these things anymore when I'm playing
Doodles does not believe it's time travel but a multiverse, the triangles are the mountains of each universe and the machine at the bottom of the mountains are a gateways into the universe of known professor.
I wish Pokémon would go harder with the lore. Or at least provide some games with deeper lore for those that like that kind of stuff. They haven’t even spitballed how pokeballs, trade evolutions etc work. They could make up some total nonsense and I’d be happy. Although it’s fun that it’s so vague. Gives us fans something to talk about
Bottom Left- Hexagons surrounding a Pokeball. Hexagons are very closely tied to Tera crystals, so we can assume this glyph is just representative of terastallization. Top Left- A Light Cone and a sextant at the same time. A Sextant to tie into the themes of exploration, and a Light Cone to tie into time travel. Bottom Right - A sigil doubling as an S and a T. The signature both Sada and Turo use for their work. Could also be a coordinate grid with a spiral on it.
I am really curious as to what the dot marks on the map of Paldea on the metal plaque of unknown origin. They don't exactly line up with where gym leaders are located but is SORT of close?
I'm personally a time travel skeptic, I believe the time machine is just connected to other dimensions in space rather than time, but the symbols still hold up relatively speaking. Hexagon: The "time machine" - the wormhole to other dimensions. Turo/Sada mentions how the tera crystals enhance Pokemon's powers and optimise machinery, so I propose the tera crystals mutated regular Pokemon from other dimensions (as we know, all Pokemon games are in their own timelines) into Paradox Pokemon. Triangles: A map of the stars? Perhaps it's a map from alien Pokemon to help them find their way home - the Terastal legendary might be from space, considering if it crashed and created the Paldean crater. Pac-Man: Could be crop circles from the alien Pokemon, or a map of the Ruinous Shrines Turo/Sada's Lab Symbol: It reminds me of an XY plane (the 2 arrows) and the curvy line overall represent the classical depiction of the "wormhole", which could be for time travel but also inter-dimensional travel.
The triangles represent time or a light cone. the overlapping area represents area zero where multiple presents exist at the same place and time through the crystal growths, which are time crystals, which are one of the states of matter. This is what makes time travel possible in this area.
I think that there is no actual time travel. The 3rd Legendary is from a crystal realm of dreams and imagination. The ancients wiped themselves out trying to reach it, leaving only the Orichalcum plate in Area Zero, the Professor followed in their footsteps. All of the Paradox Pokemon are just manifested ideas that the Professor got from the occult magazines. Heath's partner Pokemon was a Cyclizar, and he probably dreamed of seeing a different and more powerful version of it, creating Koraidon/Miraidon. A lot of stuff points in the direction of dreams: the emphasis of finding your own treasure, the pages about imagined Pokemon in the S/V Book and the occult magazines, and the problems with the timeline.
wdym, time travel is literally confirmed to be in the game and miraidon and koraidon +paradox pokemon are also confirmed to be old pokemon. We literally see the time machine in action in the game. And there also is no proof that the plate is made of orichalcum which we also have no genuine proof that orichalcum is those crystals/even exists as a physical thing in the games. Apart from koraidons ability there is no mention of orichalcum. The crystals have no connection to orichalcum aside from a theory made by someone. In the game there is NO proof of any of what you just said. This is why theory vids are so weird. People get so wrapped up in them that they forget what's a theory and what's actually in the game that they are talking about.
@@IOwnKazakhstan no none of that is confirmed, you as the player ASSUME that's what it is because that's what the characters ALSO assume. The problem is if you look at dex entries for paradox from the OPPOSITE game they don't make sense. The professor may also believe they made a working time machine but the problem is that some paradox pokemon already exist prior to the construction as indicated by the scarlet/violet book. That would be impossible is the machine wasn't created yet and Arden even makes a comment about it. We also know that the paradox virizion and suicune will appear in dlc but the descriptions in the books literally say that they come from the artist imagination. Those pokemon don't exist outside of someone's imagination so how could they possibly appear. Almost all the "future" paradox entries infer something similar. It all seems like a giant mislead where we as the player THINK it's time travel because it's what we're told and makes sense on the surface level but once you dig it all doesn't add up.
@@IOwnKazakhstan If you look at the descriptions of Paradox pokemon, a lot of them mention dubious magazines. From Iron Thorns' description: "It has some similarities to a Pokémon introduced in a dubious magazine as a Tyranitar from one billion years into the future." Why mention the dubious magazine at all and not just say its a Tyranitar from the future? How did Heath see Paradox Pokemon 2000 years in the past if the Professor in the present is the one that built the "time machine" that brought them to Paldea? How did the Professor bring Koraidon/Miraidon out of Area Zero before they built the "time machine"? There are too many problems with the time travel idea and too many hints in-game that something weird is going on. I guess we'll see when the DLC drops.
I think the 4 symbols link to the box legendaries, I feel there’s more to them than we know at the moment. My guess is because their symbol is at the top while the other four are in the corners. We can use our ride mon for battle at the end, and we also get to catch another one. I think it’s one more form that they’ll get based on their Pokédex descriptions: Koraidon (Scarlet): This seems to be the Winged King mentioned in an old expedition journal. It was said to have split the land with its bare fists. Miraidon (Violet): This seems to be the Iron Serpent mentioned in an old book. The Iron Serpent is said to have turned the land to ash with its lightning. Based on the wording, these Pokémon sounds like they had a much more menacing form than we know of. Couple that with the 3rd legendary and the 4 logos, we should unlock more of the mystery behind them as we get DLC is my guess
Guys, the lower right symbol in the game logo what does it show: something coming from a top right point. Where's the only point we can't go to or navigate/climb towards in Paldea? The landmass at the top right of the region Something's coming in the DLC, I just know it!
It would be really cool if they brought back the ultra wormhole mechanic, or at least reworked it to fit a time travel theme. Pokemon has really been getting into things like that, like what we saw with the concept of PLA itself and the space time distortions. I'd love to travel back through time on my Miraidon the way we traveled through space on Solgaleo/Lunala in USUM.
Hexagon is a hexagonal tunnel, as seen on the drawing. It represents trading. Two opposing triangles and two ovals is a trainer battle. Ovals are pokemon you and your opponent use. Pennyfarting thing represents exploration. It's a track of your movement. The 4 packmen is union circle. Do I even have to explane this one?
First thought on the third would be some sort of gate. It's kinda set up like a star piece in the middle. Flying Omelette makes a good point, which would make Area Zero the central point, the center of the Crater. Terastalization exists no where else. As for the last symbol. In the video of Sada, you can see a graph that looks very odd... The symbol itself likely representing an axis. And XYZ axis specifically. Which is another math reference, and given she's mapping ripples in time... The connections between the events are fairly obvious, which makes the legendary Tera pokemon something that smashed through time. It doesn't exist in reality, only able to reach out via it's mind. And the time machine uses it's presence to actually work, like mapping a star chart to find your way across time. If I had the game, I'd e very interested in those dots on the plate/map. What do they correlate to?
I just noticed how the time machine ''entrance'' looks like a modernized ultra wormhole, like they wanted to make it look like that maybe in an early concept. Maybe theres a relation?
The pacmam like symbols look similar to the symbols in the Shinjoh Ruins, in my opinion, because one of the legendary pokémon has to do with time itself and the other is space. So it is possible that area could be a rip in the space time continuum from a fight when someone tried to summon them. Which, in turn, allows for time travel in that area itself.
the 'squiggly" symbol looks a lot like a spiral. it makes me think that its the path that leads down through area zero, bc that was sort of a spiral shape too
I think the triangle symbol is the Lakota Symbol. The triangle at the top represents the Sun & Stars while the triangle at the bottom represents the Earth. Tera Crystals do seem to have a lot of connections with the "Light". They also seen too be growing towards the sun like flowers. Anyway, the Lakota symbol represents the connection between the Earth and the Sun/Stars. The center represents the connection and the phenomenon caused with this connection. The dots are not present for the Lakota symbol, but considering they're places as if they come from this connection, I do believe that this plate is telling us that when Tera Crystals and light meet up, strange stuff starts to appear. As a sidenote: The 4 legendary Pokemon have a Chinese connection (obviously) to the five heavenly beasts in it's mythology. The fifth one that's missing would be the Snake representing Metal. Together they form the cycle of creation AND the cycle of destruction, both themes that are present within the lore of the game. (Which ironically would fit extremely well with Xerneas and Yveltal as well)
The phantom memory makes me think of the hexagon patterns of the c-gear and his mention of “as if in a dream” also ties into the dream world in the same game. Black and white 2
My theory: - hourglass image = time travel, past paradox and future paradox Pokémon overlap into the present day due to Sada & Turo’s research (represented by the two smaller circles on the right) - “Pac-Man” image = footprints of Heath’s time machine from 200 years ago - disc image = terra crystals, derived from the third legendary, and is the source of terrastal power for Pokémon in Paldea - “loop” image = Herba Mystica, which the professors were studying at home since the plant was found throughout the region outside of area zero, and gives enhanced power to local Pokémon (native to paldea as well as Pokémon which managed to escape area zero like great dusk/iron treads)
A lot of this video assumes that time travel did actually happen. But there's evidence to suggest that maybe there was never any time travel involved and the so called time machine isn't one at all but the hexagon disk pokemon itself that creates what you desire or expect to see.
Triangle Symbol - The lost city of Atlantis. The top triangle is what rose with the bottom being the crater. The map in the middle represents the same, and it holds technology lost to mankind. The metal used is based on Orichelchum, a metal found in Atlantis. (You can search more about this theory because I dont want to write an essay here) Hexagon Symbol - The "Time" machine itself. The creation that allows to convert will power into living things. Squiggly Symbol - Unknown. Possibly something within the DLC we have yet to see, that the researchers Turo or Sada may have been studying at the time. A subtle hint we have yet to uncover. The Alien / Pacman symbols - Markins that have existed before the expeditions and heith (or however you spell it) book was written. Could be symbols of lost science, something related to older buildings that used to stand there, or marks representing something of Atlantis. Cant theorize much on these sadly. And the city of Atlantis did not sink in this game, it started to fly. That is what the triangle symbols represent. This is the theory I have found to be the most believable! And the most agreed on
There ARE satellite-esque dishes, located at the topmost cliffs of zero. Spookily, there's 6 of them total. Spookier, they are spread out in a ring, and they are facing each other... spookiest, if connected by lines, form a hexagon
you are overthinking it. the answer is very simple: top left corner: tablets of ruin bottom left corner: vesel of ruin top right corner:beads of ruin bottom right ruin:swords of ruin.
Hoopsandhiphop You're missing something about Legendary treasure coins based off Meowth forehead Coins undiscovered by Paldean Empire - Roman Empire BCE century and over 4000 Years ago - 5000 Year's ago Egypt mythology language Coins made by Government Palace owner of Meowth As well
arvens parents are not dead imo. The ai I says they die but maybe the simply went to their respective paradox time . Leaving directions to their past future versions on how how to create the ai versions . I’m suspecting we will have a paradox dimension and we end up in with some kinda new legendary capture mechanic (like the shsw raids, wormholes) and the storyline to bring the prof back
The triangle symbol: doesn't scream sexton to me but maybe, at the very least it's an egg timer, or perhaps a visual representation of how the time travelling energy looks when active The PAC man's: makes me wonder about Lockstins alchemy angle on things but also reminiscent of the sort of "bindings" Arceus, Palkia & dialga (alt forms) have Hexagons: at least it's some sort of graph at most it helps depict the legendary powering the machine Swirl: it almost looks like an upside down graph depicting the axis of time & space one might call it timey whimey
All this time traveling stuff in this game has piqued the archeologist or paleontologist in me (I know the difference but not sure which is applied). Im more fascinated with Area Zero than anything. I find Professor Sada's tragedy all the more disheartening like she joins the long list of those who perished throughout Paldea's history when it comes to Area Zero. Gamefreak made a gold mine when they explored this aspect of Pokemon. Wondering many questions about the Far Distanced Future or the Prehistoric Past. History has always fascinated me irl and this hits that part of me right on the head. Its like the mystery of Atlantis or the Bermuda Triangle and other unsolved historical mysteries of our own world. I guess this aspect of me is what attracts me to love Ghost type pokemon too. Hisuian Typhlosion and Gengar being my top favorite Ghost type pokemon. I imagine Scarlet and Violet will set the stage for future DLCs or games that wonder into this area of fantasy or mystery in the Pokemon World. We have yet to have a Pokemon game that is set in the ancient past like Ancient Egypt or Rome like setting or even in medieval Europe like setting (Legends Arceus doesnt count as its only set in the 1700s to 1800s and thats more closer to modern times).
That last one with the squiggle reminded me of either quadrants on a X-Y graph, this being the 3rd quadrants based on placement, with the fibonacci sequence swirl or clock hands and similar to Doctor Who, wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff represented by the swirl like in the intro for that show.
A mystery for me is after you catch the violant Koridon or Miridon you hear a roar followed by something saying Agius?! I bet thats the Tyrastilized origin pokemon.
Here is a theory, because Ai Turo and Ai Sada time travel in the ending, a time travel Paradox is occurring. So the futuristic metal late was left by AI Turo and the cave floor engraving left by AI Sada.
Some of the symbols remind me of alchemy symbols I once saw. Also the last symbol looks kinda looks like attack coordination, like where a weapon would be fired and calculating trajectory.
I don't think the symbols have to do with DLC at all, persay, but rather what the game has in it. Such as the pacmans are the 4 shrines, the squiggly symbol is the initials of Sada and Toro, the triangles (hour glass) symbol is the literal symbol of time or time travel, and the hexagon is the terastalization itself since it's on the Tera ball and what not.
I saw a theory about the time traveling is just a gimmick. What’s actually going on is there is a 3rd legendary who has the power to make dreams reality. The Pokémon you see in area zero are fake Pokémon created by the terrestrial Pokémon.
What if there was a dlc released that was based on a report from the chairwoman of the Pokémon league saying that there were sightings of new or more past/future Pokémon appearing and sends you out to clean up the situation. Something happens down in area zero unlocking a deeper part to explore finding the third legendary and maybe even a familiar character from the past or future, who asks you for a favour which involves going into the time machine to stop an incident or event from happening?
My not-so-crazy theory about the plaque is that it’s based on an actual plaque of the real world that can be found in the Pioneer mission spacecrafts that were sent to outer space by the NASA in the 1970s. This plaque, which is strongly similar to the Paldean plaque, is a “guide” that shows where the Planet Earth is and it can be seen as a map or as an explanation of who and where we are in the universe. If we take this idea into the game, the Paldean plaque should have been created by a culture/civilisation who wanted to tell someone else about Paldea. It wouldn’t make sense, though, to find it precisely in Paldea, unless someone (or something) had found it, deciphered it and had gone to Paldea. Perhaps the Disc Pokémon?
We need a third installment of the game (I.e Emerald, platinum, or even a black or white 2) in order to piece together the timeline events to what we already know. For instance: In both installments in scarlet & violet, both professor Turo & sada in their games are both dead. My question is this, are they both “truly” dead? Having a sequel or future DLC to elaborate on this would be fascinating to see what mystery is behind all of this
At the end of the day, The DLC(s) will not be as grand as we anticipated but I’m guessing we’ll get like a Crown Tumdra level of dlc. Because that dlc was better than Isle of Armor.
The triangles are the timelines coming together and the two circles beside it are Turo and sada! Maybe they made the tablet together in the past because they are stuck 'outside of time' and we're only able to put the tablet in the past to assist themselves in starting the process of making the time machines with would make a paradox. This would explain why the pokemon are called paradox pokemon. (I posted other comments that explain further)
