The Lost Generation | FNaF Theory | Lore Bites Episode 5 

I like how we pay attention to the details and yet Scott or whoever made the posters gave chica yellow legs on one poster and orange more bird-like legs on the other one (4:09)

Really cool theory! Never thought of the mini games this way and I am convinced cause this makes a lot of sense.

I still don't agree with this theory for the leaps in logic it makes, but I have to admit that this video gives more proof that definitely helps the theory a lot I still think is not a good idea to base theorys around the minigame sprite designs tho, Scott is not consistent with stuff as the models, and he isn't either with the sprites Honestly, I think the buttons stuff is a good point, but saying that this generation of Bonnie had bluish skin that got rid off in favor of a more purple one? I think not mentioning this would have made the theory better, becuse it again relies on something is not even consistent in Even after I said all of that, this video was really good and your theory definitely has some really good points that should probably be more considered in the community, great video ^^ I just don't agree with this theory, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have some really nice evidence and presents a really interesting concept, a "lost" generation of Fnaf Great video!

Interesting theory, but sprites in this franchise have never been consistent. For example: - William has two completely different sprites in the same game (FNAF 2). - The same happened to Foxybro in FNAF 4. - The Fredbear next to the door has a button on his belly, while the Fredbear suits don't. - There's three different Spring Bonnie designs in the FNAF 4 minigames.

Great video I really enjoy these traditional style FNaF theory videos and the theory that the FNaF 3 mini games happened before FNaF 3 has been around since 2017 in the timeline matpat made and logically this makes more sense but from a story telling stand point it isn't as good but I think this theory has some bone to it and won't be surprised if this theory is true

It's a good day when you wake up to an Under_Score video

I actually really like the concept of there being a lost generation of animatronics in the FNaF 3 minigames.

Yeah I initially agreed with the first video but the foxy sprite evidence wasn’t the best. Glad you came back with more. :)

The playlist for this should also be on Spotify as a podcast so Most of us won’t want to have to keep our phone/ computer on

What I think they would look like in animatronic form is a mixture of FNaF's 1 variants and FNaF 2 withered's variants of Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy almost like a prototype to imagine it a bit more easier

I think this fits much better, honestly! I'm working on my own timeline theory, and this definitely helped!

I'm new to this channel but I al-ready like this channel.

You're right, you are our favorite fnaf theorist

I've been thinking this too.

This is a cool idea, and I have 2 things to say about it. First of all i think this is a great thing to think about, and I had been theorising a similar thing for the Fredbear-era, about the Nightmare animatronics being based on (or illusion-disc modified versions of) Spring suits of the main 4 characters (Possibly even the rockstars based on design similarities). Second of all, the main concern I have with this theory, is that William would have HAD to destroy the characters when the location had closed in order for him to melt down the animatronics and use their remnant to bring the Funtimes to life, otherwise they wouldn’t need to form Ennard and escape, and Molten Freddy wouldn’t be a requirement for FNAF6.

Nice theory. That’s a really interesting idea.

This channel is very underrated

2:34 Wow, I never noticed how different the fnaf1 animatronics are from the same animatronics from fnaf 2. Supposedly the "withered animatronics" were refurbished into the fnaf1 animatronics, but bonnie is a different color, Freddy's bow tie got rounder, his torso got longer and fatter, and of course they ditched the buttons. That being said, Scott would have had to make significantly larger sprites just to include a second button on the chest, without it just looking like a black line. And theoretically the second button could be there, but we're looking down at the animatronics from a high up angle, and the top button is being covered up by the bow tie. I don't see why it matters if Will died before or after fnaf 1, so long as it happens after Fnaf2 and before Fnaf3, it makes no difference. Foxy having fully brown legs is a bit odd, but not enough to justify the inclusion of a whole other haunted band, mci, etc.

You know I like how you actually go in dept in fnaf you need to be the next mat pat keep it up man

I have to say I think your on to something with all these theories

A detail i noticed, on the bonnie poster chica has orange feet, but on the one where its just her, they are yellow.

Really am glad he uploaded his videos more faster

Love your videos I've binged all of them

I have a small bit of not evidence but maybe logic for it not being after fnaf 1 It makes more sense for someone coming in to a pizzeria that is work in progress and boarding up the safe room instead of someone coming in after the pizzeria has been closed for long enough for the roof to cave in and board up the room

They could also be some prototype form of the rockstar animatronics because Bonnie's color and foxys lack of pants after all the faz facts say the rockstars were made from scraps.

Good Theory, I really like and appreciate it! Your theories are amazing and awesome

honestly, this theory explains SO MUCH! why weren't there any murderes in the 88-93 location? why was the saferoom sealed after the place was abandoned? why do the characters look diferent in the sprites? hell, WHY IS FOXY OUT OF ORDER!? we asked ourselfs that multiple times, at first it seemed obvious, he did The Bite of 87, but than fnaf 2 came along and revealed he was in the backroom during the bite, than The Silver Eyes revealed that his endo was defective and would constantly twich and shake, but than comes The Fourth Closet and revealed it wasn't even his endo! not to mention that him being out of order doesen't explain the tears in his cosmetics, but this theory has found a way to explain all of those questions! congradulations!

i find it really hard to believe that scott would throw this "lost generation" of animatronics in the fnaf 3 minigames, and then never mention them ever again, not in any books, not in any games it doesn't make sense

I'm thinking FNaF-3 took place in 2013.

MatPat’s lost cousin 😳

The Withereds should make a comeback in security breach

These videos are pretty good! I got a sticker of your pfp.

I thought that that took place in 1987 hec,k even 1983..

I like your theories but I heavily disagree. One mistake the fandom keeps making is taking the 8bit sprites designes as 100% canon, while most of the time they are heavily stylised. The same game (fnaf 3) has sprites of balloon boy with red and white stripes, mangle with purple eyes and fully white and shadow bonnie being fully purple. The same can be said about other fnaf sprites (fredbears eye color being brown in fnaf 4, mangle being fully pink in fnaf 2s save me minigame, bonnie always being depicted as bright blue...) I know details matter in fnaf games but overanalyzing the 8bit sprites just makes things way more complicated over something that was probably just a design choice to fit the 8bit style.

I like the theory but Scott never uses the same sprite in 2 miny Game sprites even for the same characters are the same but hey this is Scott coffin also chica has no bib

Your videos are amazing. Keep ‘em coming. !!

My theory not related Also why we don’t see much at fnaf 3 Location is most likely they took most of the Reminders of everything but forgot a lot and not checking the back rooms

Pog I need to watch these series

Its interesting evidence, and i agree with the idea that it happened before the closure, but dont know if these were actually intetional because i dont take the things that happen in the minigames to be very literal. I think the reason bonnies blue is to make him distinct from purple guys sprite (and because shadow bonnie is later depicted as purple in the good ending minigames). I try to put myself in the mind of scott when examining weird inconsistencies like foxys leg color and i think it may have just been like that because he shared a body and leg sprite between all of them and got a bit lazy on foxy. I always considered the messages from fnaf 3 about them boarding up the room to be after they found williams body, which is why it was immediate and nobody was allowed to go back in to grab anything. So i agree, just not for these reasons lmao

foxy DOES have normal legs but he doesnt have his pants sooooo i think its just a error by scott

But why then are the FNAF 1 animatronics possed during the game? Did they reuse the parts of the "lost generation" to make the FNAF 1 animatronics?

my only issue here would by why are these suits possed? or is it the idea that theses suits destruction had nothing to do with the spirits retaliation?

But what if thoose acade sprites,posters and boble heads were just prototypes or false advertiesments

It’s possible they wanted to reopen so they fixed foxy

Well, this is an interesting theory, though, there's some parts that I don't exactly agree with, like the Foxy go go go! minigame, almost everyone thinks that the Foxy in the minigame is Withered Foxy , which I disagree with, I believe that's FNAF 1 Foxy before he was out of order (hence him probably having no damaged suit and the suit legs (possibly his suit hand) missing because this location was running on a low budget, and seeing FNAF plus' Chica, I think it makes sense), and, because of these random dead Five children, the employees thought he was a danger, hence him being out of order in the first game, I could even enforce this by the fact that in the second game (while never explained) there were cutscenes with the FNAF 1 animatronics, but Foxy was never in them, there was the question about why he was out of order in the first game, I think the rest is explainable on its own. Second thing would be the 8 bit design in the FNAF 3 minigames and the FNAF 1 animatronic's body parts around Fazbear's fright, first, we could just say that the minigame design shouldn't really matter as literally ever other 8bit design isn't entirely accurate to the 3D design in game, but let's work the other way, FNAF 3 was made in a really short time, it wouldn't be weird to me that Scott would reuse some assets or be a lil bit lazy sometimes, so Foxy being entirely red (no pants or anything) doesn't really make me think that it's a different animatronic, it just shows how quick this game was made (and it ain't bad). We could also take the fact the location looks even more rundown and abandoned than the one in FNAF 1, there are rats running around, there are water leaks everywhere, and doors are boarded up, which isn't the case in FNAF 1, which is open and none of the things mentioned have happened yet (Or they were never shown in game), which still makes me think that this happens after FNAF 1 and not before, there's also the FNAF 1 suit stands in Fazbear's fright, that while Phone dude said that soem of it could be cosplay or just a cheap recreation, if they wanted to be super authentic, they'd go take the parts from the location itself, which makes sense since they got Springtrap from there. This took a while to type out and there's probably a bunch of spelling erros that I didn't find, but ye, these are my points as to why I don't exactly believe the theory, but it could be right tho.

Ok let's assume this theory is true then explain to me how the animatronic's are able to come after you in fnaf 1 and why they come after you in fnaf 1 because if this theory is true that would mean the children's souls where freed before fnaf 1 witch means they cannot be active in fnaf 1 I think in order for the timeline to make sense william has to get springlocked after fnaf 1 not before or during fnaf 1 but I do like your video man please do keep it up I do enjoy watching them

This theory is amazing

I really like your theories, they are so unteresting! But to really succeed and become famous I think you should sound energetic and fun to hear. Don't get me wrong I like your voice it's just the way you speak.

love the video, really good. But what if somehow the animatronics died, then a few years later at least then that's when the spring locks happen? would that be possible?

I will note in what we found and fnaf 3 it basically confirmed springtrap was found in another location maybe it was not the fnaf 1 location they found springtrap but another location that they moved the what would become the originals from to the new location a location we only see in that Minigame maybe those animatronic are what originals were before being redesigned for the fnaf 1 location

Under_Score! What are your thoughts on freevictim?

How come the animatronics are moving in the fnaf 3 mini games if there a different generation? (btw amazing video this is something Scott would DEFINITELY add to throw us off but you find those pieces and put them together great work!)

As you pointed out yourself in the previous videos, the minigame designs have never been 100% accurate. The same applies here. These are sprites, so every detail can't really be put in. Now you might say that in that case, why add the buttons at all? And to that I have a somewhat unpopular opinion to say in regards to the Unwithered designs: they ain't a thing. Or, to put it simply, the redesign is canon, the changes were made to allow for the withering to look and fit better with the designs Scott had in mind, and aren't meant to be different things in-universe Fredbear is seen in UCN, and it has the exact same design as Classic Freddy, not Withered Freddy. The FNAF 6 intro uses Unwithered Freddy and FNAF 1 Freddy interchangeably. The Unwithered characters aren't a thing in FNAF World. The FNAF 2 dream sequences, which are seemingly meant to parallel The Puppet giving life to the animatronics, use the FNAF 1 designs. But the main point is: it's well established that for a soul to be in one thing, it has to have a connection to another thing. Whether it be them straight up being the same Endoskeleton, a battery being given from one to another or a bit of melted metal being injected in them. Now, with Withered animatronics, and the Classic animatronics, despite their overall appearance, not a single part from one design to another is fully consistent. There isn't one bit in their costumes or Endos that could be taken from one and put in the other, and still look the same. And that would make them both being possessed by the same souls impossible, even though we know that's the case.

What if the more complete foxy could be rockstar foxy

Ok I know I am late on this but why does chica have different legs. Ther are different in poster 1 and 3 4:21

Now- I genuinely don’t mean to poke a hole in your Theory- But- your missing one critical detail about these posters. In Fnaf3 there is an Easter egg of a Spring Bonnie poster in the same art style. This means that these posters had to come from a location that used spring Bonnie as a bot- most likely the first Freddy Fazbear’s, unless they were planning to use spring Bonnie again in the 93’ location which is unlikely due to the age of the character, history of said character, and cost of updating the original robot model. I hope this helps explains why I believe this is after the 93’ location.

I wanna see them in their SFM forms

waiting for the next game theory video reaction, cmon man he just did a fnaf video

But we see the souls fade away after William gets springlocked but the souls are now suddenly possessing the fnaf 1 animatronics who you think are different from the “lost generation”.

If these are different animatronics in a different generation does that mean different souls are possessing them than the ones we thought?

I am sorry but I (respectfully) disagree that we should even consider that these animatronics are not the animatronics from fnaf1. I don't think we should be using differences in the designs of the animatronics in mini game form as proof to support any theory. It's like using Evan's (C.C.'s) sprite from FNAF4 as supporting evidence for Mike being the bite victim. Or using different Purple guy sprites as evidence that their is 2 killers in the lore. So basically ( in my opinion) this is not even worth starting a conversation over. The map of the fnaf3 bad ending mini games perfectly matches the map of the FNAF1 location. Therefore we can at least confirm that these mini games take place within the FNAF1 location. You might be able to say, "maybe they swapped animatronics?" Or "Maybe the los gen animatronics were the temporary animatronics until the withered's were fully repaired to go back in usage?" After all, you do say that you speculate that these fnaf3 bad ending mini games take place early 1988. This would mean that William Afton was spring locked early 1988. However the idea of William getting spring locked in early '88 creates a couple of plot holes and loose threads within the lore. If William dies a spring lock failure in '88 he also must have disassembled the animatronics in 1988 however the evidence for that pales when In comparison to the concept of William getting spring locked after FNAF1. Notice that William disassembled the animatronics, while, you may think that this can be used as proof for the 'lost gen spring lock 1988' theory as they were disassembled, it makes total sense to replace them, right? Yes but actually no. Notice in FNAF3 at the Fazbear's Fright the FNAF1 animatronics are left broken in peices disassembled. Scattered around the map. To me the logical conclusion seems to be that the FNAF3 bad ending mini games take place sometime after FNAF1 and around the same time as SL. Oh, speaking of SL, this theory would imply SL takes place before FNAF1. This must be false. Yes, there are proof supporting the concept of SL taking place pre-FNAF1 however that proof is...well, quite limited. And my limited, we are talking limited to a joke at the end of the game. While, yes evidence of FNAF1 being before SL is the same, logically I think it makes the most sense in the lore for SL to be after FNAF1 because SL and onward Michael goes on a mission to find and end his farther once and for all, and to free the souls of those that fell into his father's wicked touch. If SL (like your theory must imply takes place around early-mid 1988) is before FNAF1 taking place 1988 this would mean that Michael starts his mission of freeing the souls of his father's victims and to end his farther sending him off to hell, goes to the 1995 Fazbear's location for this reason, gets fired for tampering with the animatronics and 'oder', then does nothing about it for 20 years. I don't think I need to explain what is wrong with this. Then you mention the FNAF3 posters. For all we know it could just be the art style or something because I doubt we'll find something from overanalyzing friendly looking marketable posters that we can see throughout the full game. All in all I think your just overanalyzing details in an safari type 8 bit in between nights mini games, from FNAF3. Thank you for reading my little TED talk.

Interesting theory, I actually don’t mind if this ends up becoming true I just have one question. Why is the building still so damaged, wouldn’t they repair the building before repairing the animatronics?

Yeaaaah new video!!!

Really liked the vid but how does this work with Goldenduo(since you believe it) if william has taken remnant from gf how does he show in the gameplay or is it just cassidy, i dunno it seems wierd . And why do i have a feeling your next lore bite's will be about fnaf 6

I love the video but I disagree with this video, since for 1. The minigames design aren't accurate, for example, foxybro from FNAF 4, William afton, and foxy from foxy go go go minigame, since his legs are different, so the minigames design aren't accurate, and literal. 2. How does the poster proves that William die in 1988, since there is a spring Bonnie poster in FNAF 3 which implies that the posters were probably created in 1983. But hey I still love your videos anyways.

Welp more killer robots on my list😀🔫

Great video. However there is one thing that is being overlooked with this theory. William afton's death has to happen after fnaf 1 because in fnaf 1 the animatronics are still possesed. Yet in the final minigame we see the spirits dissapear after william dies. And after this we never see the spirits of the orginal animatronics ever again within the story. It cannot take place before fnaf 1 because why would the animatronics still be possesed if the spirits already left? And about the 8bit sprites. When it comes to fnaf 8 bit sprites they are very simple and kinda crude representations of the characters i dont think we should look at them this deeply. I mean all the characters are copies of themselfs with differend colors and a differend head. I cant help to think that you might be looking a bit to deep into something that prob doesnt mean anything. But yeah thats my counter argument to this theory. Williams death just cant take place before fnaf 1 because the spirits left yet in fnaf 1 they are still possesed

hi under_score how was your day?

This is an interesting idea, however this theory suffers from a couple flaws. Number one is that sprites are always inconsistent in coloring and design, such as foxy not having pants despite every other iteration having pants and why would Fazbear Entertainment change that, then change it back after Foxy was taken apart? Heck even the posters in FNaF 3 are inconsistent, as in some of them Chica has yellow legs similar to Freddy and Bonnie, but in others Chica has orange chicken legs. Number 2 is that the design of the FNaF 1 building itself. While the FNaF 1 location is an overhaul of the original Freddy Fazbears, the original Freddy Fazbears had no security office, as is shown in both Foxy Go Go Go minigame and the Take Cake to the Children minigame. So there's no way the office in Follow Me existed in the state it is in during 1988, as the office was an addition made during the overhaul of first Freddy Fazbears.
