@@kyledavid9415 In what way is getting a UA-cam sponsorship "greedy"? You do realize that content creation is a job for some people that and ad revenue and sponsors are how said people are paid, right? 💀
@WildWeavile I think the ruins are just prophesizing N's birth. As far as we know, he doesn't have any grand lineage. And I think I remember them speaking in future-tense
@@Gatchu137 Zinzolin outright states that that the king had the power to talk with Pokémon, a power which he speculates to have been passed down to his descendants. So it's pretty much confirmed the king was N's ancestor.
@@skotiaH2Oit’s a very small route and has tunnels on both side and on top. the right one going to Spikemuth and the left one going to Hammerlocke with the top one going to route 8. it’s weird because it’s just such a small route that almost serves no purpose because it’s almost like an area filler. if you think about it, instead of route 7 being there, it could’ve been just one continuous tunnel from route 9 outside Spikemuth, to Hammerlocke so maybe Route 7 could’ve been somewhere else if you know what i mean sorry for the long explanation 😅
11:40 The Ultra Ruin wasn't destroyed by Guzzlords, they're just the cleanup crew humanity left behind to hopefully restore the planets habitability. It's implied that what actually caused the apocalypse in that dimension was a nuclear power plant going critical and devastating the area.
So the Guzzlords are basically Wall-E? Also, the anime *did* have them be the cause of an alternate universe's destruction, so maybe JPR mixed up his lore.
The crystals in Kitakami were brought by Kieran's mask maker ancestor, who also used them to make Ogerpon's masks. This was explained in the story. As to why there's so many, well... we've seen them grow and expand in Area Zero, so it's safe to assume that something similar happened there as well.
In the Adventures manga it's stated that Embedded Tower was indeed built by Draconids. Ruby and Norman return to their home region to investigate it during the ORAS chapter. I can see the Challenger's Cave being Cobalion's prior home before moving to Mistralton. Perhaps the construction of Route Nine Mall and Tubeline Bridge made them relocate. As for the Chamber of Emptiness, there's a likelihood it was where we would find Hoopa. In the TCG we see Tornadus in Dyna Tree Hill, who assumes the form of a Bird as Therian. I expected for the Crystal Tree to had been the source of the Herba Mystica in Paldea. Being protected by a Garganacl (one of Arven's Pokemon) was such an easy lore nugget.
The manga also speculates that Gurkinn could be a distant Draconid descendant. Look, I like lore connections as much as the next guy, but why should the secrets of Mega Evolution be exclusive to this one group of people? The Adventures universe can be really cynical sometimes...
A bit of a correction here 12:00, The villains didn't win in their timelines because of Rainbow Rocket, it's the opposite, Rainbow Rocket recruited them because they won in their timelines
And I may be misremembering, but it was also implied that the only reason those specific villains won was because there weren’t any protagonist characters to oppose them.
you did galar dirty for like no reason lmao. watchtower ruins? the strange rock formation that evolves yamask? the max lair?? the chamber of emptiness is clearly just there to have a kinda spooky atmosphere (hence the spooky plate)
I was thinking there was gonna be some secret civilization or ruins of a civilization made of crystal in the deeper area of area zero. Like that crystal tree has to mean something it was used for promotion and it led up to nothing💀
That tree must've suffered the same fate as Terapagos, being swallowed into the depths of the earth due to earthquakes and tectonic movements and then crystallized alive. I guess that's all it was hinting at, in the end.
If I HAD to guess, it's to imply AZ was there, as any tree that can't be explained any other way seems to indicate it was planted by AZ. A GOOD exception is the tree that the Crown Shrine was built around, as the stone statue 'plaques' state it was a sapling then & the implication is that the Crown Shrine had its roof 'ripped off' by Eternatus' gravitational pull like the buildings around the Crown Tundra & Galar's Route 8 back during the ancient times of 3,000 years before Hammerlcoke Castle was built so Zacian & Zamazenta had to wait for Eternatus to get large enough for them to get a clean shot in. Registeel's Sheild Dex Entry already implies many Regigigigas couldn't be sealed away until around 10,000 years ago( *And now Scarlet's Dex Entry for Gogoat would further strongly imply that it wasn't until 5,000 years ago humans would have the means to challenge Regigigas as Skiddo are thought to be one of the first Pokemon to live in harmony with humans. Unclear if Cyclizar during a 'Mini Ice Age'/Glacial Period should count* ) , so the ropes being still bound until at least then applies by consequence, Groudon & Kyogre's Primal Forms are the key to the how & the Lental Seafloor Ruins being built on a spot that's now at least 1,000 meters/3,280.84 Feet underwater around 2,000 years later SHOULD be enough to suggest how crazy Kyogre's impact on the world was & why people outright believe it created the sea beyond mere expansion & we KNOW it was awake on at least two occasions in the last 2,000 years. I believe AZ planted the Laverre Tree at least 500 years before the one Wallace remarked was given by AZ( *Or rather 'The tall man from Kalos' * ) at the dawn of Sootopolis' earliest birth. I suspect he also planted Kleavor's Tree at the birth of Sinnoh/Hisui & later Electrode's 1,000 years before Legends Arceus, explaining the size difference between the two which Melli even notes on when he says Kleavor's Tree is "stupidly oversized". My theory is that Arceus created the Voltorb species with its 10th bolt, so AZ could never locate it until the 10 bolts struck again, whereupon one of its descendants was now an Electrode. AZ planting the Trees indicates his movements throughout the ages, 'eye balling' the 'Crystal Tree' at 13:52 make it SEEM smaller than Kleavor's Tree, so assuming rightfully or wrongfully that Terastal Energy DOESN'T effect plant growth like Dynamax & Illumina Energy are implied to, I Would say that the Tree is probably around 1,500 years old. The tree was likely planted by AZ after Laverre's Tree after AZ came to Kalos alongside people from Sinnoh purely by walking through the Sinjoh route to Johto. Johto & Kalos were likely physically linked much like Kalos & Paldea are now even after the ropes came undone, the separation of Johto & Kalos was likely a volcanic eruption from the hotspot that would've otherwise later created Sootopolis like in RSE & Xerneas, which died around 800 years ago was likely caught in the crossfire( *Jury's still out on Yveltal in Pokemon Y* ), fueling Kalos aggression through excess Illumina Energy, causing the surrounding civilizations of Paldea to unite against a common enemy, hence why Xerneas & Yveltal's deaths are the only known events to have happened around the 'ball park' of 805 years ago. Incidentally, I'd say that volcanic eruption also 'woke up' Groudon/Kyogre sleeping in Embedded Tower, which escaped 'ORAS Style' leading to the tower's collapse, around 200 after Kyogre & Groudon lost their Primal Forms to otherwise explain Embedded Tower's collapse in a world that by implication doesn't 'line up' with Emerald( *Where Groudon was in Mt. Chimney* ). If AZ planted the Tree around 1,500 years ago it would be after around 500 years of the Paldean Empire ruling the Region, AZ wasn't a part of the Emperor's men & managed to come back because the dude lived through being engulfed in the blast from the Ultimate Weapon & only has a metal 'knee cap' to show for it. Since Terapagos seems to be both the Treasure of Area Zero & the source of Herba Mystica, all AZ would have to do is bring them back to further inspire the first Emperor's successors to devote to getting the Mythical Treasure, and if an old man like AZ could come back & live to tell the tale, why wouldn't much younger military men think they couldn't do the same, thus initially boosting their morale? The thing that really sells me on this idea is the question of Gimmighoul's existence being tied to around 1,500 years ago & getting a trailer of its own dedicated to it, where did this passion linked to its existence come from? According to Arven, eating all of the Herba Mystica made his Mabosstiff start 'bursting with energy' after it was brought back from the brink of being cold to the touch & at least effectively blind, the Herba Mystica being even so indirectly linked to Gimmighoul's existence would make sense conceptually & linking it to AZ being in Ancient Sinnoh would fit with how much ScVi references Legends Arceus. As for the exact reason for why AZ left Sinnoh for Paldea, Legends Arceus implies by the Origin Ore being one of the shards that 'make up' Arceus' plates that they are the lava shells of 'Z Crystals', the one we get being specifically a Firium Z( *Explaining the Red Crystals, beyond the assumption they're directly linked to the Red Chain* ) presumably wedged between a Normalium( *Which the Blank Plate is likely made of* ) & Steelium( *Just wrap a bunch of 'Z Crystal in Light Clay, which are bot found in the Sinnoh Underground & was an item introduced in DP, 'color code' them to tell them apart, carve the messages like ancient people did with clay, put them in a kiln, and BAM: You've got your STONE tablets. The Legends Plate further implies you'd line them up into sets of three by three & then stack them so all types are contained inside. 'Z Crystals' fit into the palm of '11 year' child from Kanto & the Plates are only so much taller than an 15 'year old's' hand.* ). To link this to the theory each Ultra Space is a future version of each world where a villainous team won, the idea specifically that Megalo Tower is a repurposed Prism Tower & the people of 'Ultra Megalopolis' are descendants of Team Flare, their ancestors created Necrozma, much like the Aether Foundation created 'Type Null', to absorb the piece of Arceus asleep atop Spear Pillar. This would explain why Arceus is effected by the 'Z Plates'( *I'm just going to 'straight up' call them that* ), so just like Lunala & Solgaleo, Necrozma kept coming back to Sinnoh to try to reclaim what was its. I speculate this also happened after Legends Arceus, hence why it was sealed atop Spear Pillar, while the piece at Sinjoh Ruins is the Arceus from Guardian Signs, hence the Islands are called Oblivia, heck it's even the FRENCH word meaning roughly: *To Be Forgotten.*
2:07 I've heard somewhere that the pattern could resemble a circuit board. Considering how many _bugs_ live in this area, it makes for quite a funny visual pun. :) Then again, I'm not sure if said pun makes sense in Japanese, so...
Programming bugs have that name as a reference to actual bugs that would get inside the machines and interfere with a computer's proper functioning, so i believe the joke is multilingual
I think the Tera tree is to show how old the area ur in is. Up top in the first few levels of Area Zero, we see trees with Tera crystals growing around the trees. This tree has been fully terrastalized, showing that it’s been here much longer, OR that Tera power is a lot stronger in here, making the crystals grow faster😅❤
The crystal in the crystal lake likely came from the man accidentally dropping some into the lake. The story refer to the crystal as "brought from somehwere far away" hinting that it didn't exist in Kitakami prior to the man's arrival
@@evan_mirDM And that right there is why one of them being dropped in the pool is unnecessary. The implication is the man was part of Heath's team, therefore the crystals were brought around 200 years ago, and for just as long the masks they were partially made from have rested inside Kitakami Hall. This explains Tera Raid Dens as a whole being all over Kitakami in modern day. The implication at Research Station No 4 is that those crystals hold a large amount of Tera Energy, explaining why the experiment on Terapagos left them behind. Even though they supposedly have NOTHING on the black crystals, according to Jacq. Given the subtle world-building, minus maybe an exact coloration, I'm starting to wonder if Game Freak is implying Necrozma is made from said crystals, especially since according to Looker its body refracts light.
14:31 In reality, we know that Ogerpon trainer around 200 years before the DLC brought the Crystal from a Distand Land (Paldea) and put them in the lake
I think a prototype/beta Magearna would make the most sense as Tettou/a scrapped Gen6 Mythical that was moved to Gen7. Not only Magearna seems to fit Kalos' aesthetic better than Alola's, but it is also linked to Volcanion, a Gen6 Mythical, in one of the movies.
I’m pretty sure the Tera Crystal Tree in Area Zero was just there to show “Hey, you know the trees up top in Area Zero that have the bottoms of them turned to crystal? That’s how far the Tera energy goes.”
Its never explaned but Glimet/Glimmora most likely evolved to consume Tera Crystals to keep the growth of them at bay since Terapegos uses them to terraform the enviroment. As for the tree it was preserved by the crystals overtime since the Siesmic Shift had occured, or its a fully grown Herba Mystica.
When goddess of sun, Yugi muto locked himself inside the cave, the firebird pokemon, mega ultra chicken was sad, very very sad. That's why no kanto birds ever showed up in duelist kingdom's safari zone
Back in the day I always wondered why they went out of their way to mention the Chamber of Emptiness on the map. Weird of them to hype up an area that only contains an Arceus Plate and a rather unmemorable Mega Evolution.
I think that glimmet is a seed that covers itself in Tera shards to amplify its strength. Some glimmet ended up in Kitakami, and some of the crystals on them fell into the pool.
I think the lost Gen 6 legendary was more likely to be Stakataka. Just a vibe, it just seems like the odd one out among the Ultra Beasts (who I know aren’t legendaries, doesn’t mean it wasn’t planned to be)
Hm... I've seen quite a few videos like these in the past, and the Scorched Slab is discussed quite consistently across them, but this is the first time the Mythology reference is mentioned. That's actually a really cool detail, especially since I'm kinda a fan of various mythos..es? mythei? mythos(plural)? Funnily though, that makes this area a lot LESS weird to me, since I now understand the reference and why it just holds a random Sunny Day TM. That doesn't make it not worth discussing, though. Learning new things *is* what makes these kinds of videos enjoyable, after all. Keep up the great work!
Awesome video As someone who has played Leaf Green numerous times I was so disappointed when Dotted Cave or Tanoby Ruins didn't have the Regis like I assumed they would when I found them
I’ve seen people say that Zeraora could’ve been originally designed to be the squirrel on the world tree, so it would’ve had something to do with Zygarde, and the shinies of the XYZ trio and Zeraora look very similar so there could’ve been some connection.
That's interesting. It's also an Electric type to contrast Zygarde's Ground type. I always thought it was just the winner of a "create your own Pokémon" contest
@@edgargaebolg9307 It DOES look extremely generic, doesn't it? There's always been something about it that puzzles me, and i guess that's exactly it. It looks like it came straight out of a Pokémon clone game.
Well, if that recent Giga leak is anything to go by, there’s a strong possibility of this being true, SPOILERS BELOW given both Zygarde and Zeraora are getting megas in Legends ZA
I remember spending so much time trying to get something other than Zubat to appear in Altering Cave. Oh the days before everything was in the internet right away 😂 In Johto I wish they would have done something more interesting with Bellchime Trail. It’s this beautiful trail perpetually in autumn but all you do it walk to Tin Tower and find hidden mushrooms. In Sinnoh, Ravaged Path always felt weird and out of place. What is the point in this random cave that just has a few items that you can’t even get until much later in the game so most people will probably never go back? In Paldea, unless I missed some dialogue, it bothered me that there are ruins in almost every part of the open areas of each province with little to no lore about them. Are they former villages? Remains of the Paldean Empire?
I'm pretty sure the Crystal Pool happened because Ogerpon's trainer had some Tera cystals, they ended up in the pond, and they grew from there. Don't recall if that's confirmed somewhere in game or if that's just a fan theory.
I think the tree was meant to show us like how in the upper layer trees where getting terrastilize, so did this tree. The difference is it was completely eroded until nothing was left of it. Saying that when terrapagos unleashed it's power any plants or life that was down there was nearly devoured by the crystals. Which is why most pokemon are rock pokemon.
Do check out the originally planned, but later scrapped parts to the Sevii Islands that aren't about the Altering Cave, things would be quite interesting from there
It does actually But only the first time each video and only with a slight few seconds headstart (also if u were already subbed I don't believe it does if you unsub during the video) It's only a multicoloured outline for a few seconds but yems
Route 24 and 25 from Kanto always stood out to me. Route 24 has the Unknown Dungeon/Cerulean Cave, while 25 has Bills house. Was there supposed to be some postgame content that was cut?
Area Zero's Underdepths Tree should've been a place where you fought Iron Leaves (Violet)/Walking Wake (Scarlet), I mean, it's a crystalized tree surrounded by a lake!!! All of the Mandatory Stellar Tera Pokémon battles in the Underdepths should've been battles against the new Paradox Pokémon! Way better than finding 2 of them in random places across Area Zero and one being event-locked... They could've even created new mythical paradoxes inspired by Ho-oh and Keldeo!!!
I always thought the random cliff ledge that you can get to by collecting all the unknowns in diamond, pearl, and platinum was weird. It has no purpose as far as I know, and I have never been able to find any sort of information on why that cliffside was there and accessible.
I like to think that whichever of Groudon or Kyogre wasn't sealed in Seafloor Cavern in Ruby and Sapphire was canonically sealed in the Embedded Tower in Johto. After all, Heart Gold and Soul Silver get the opposite legendary of whichever Hoenn game they share canon with. It makes sense for people to want them separated, so sticking one at the bottom of the ocean and shipping the other off to a separate region makes sense. There's way more intention here than your average post-game legendary dump. Regarding the Area Zero tree, I have a theory. If Terapagos actually was a plentiful species that went extinct eons ago, maybe the one we get is just a regular Pokemon that was mutated by long term exposure to the local energy. Maybe the tree really is the origin point, and we pinned it on the turtle by mistake. It's just hard to imagine something with all those crazy reality warping powers existing in large numbers. Probably wrong, but it's decent food for thought.
My personal theory on the Crystal tree in the depths of area zero is the island looks like a torterra's back, a terastallized torterra that would be a comon ancestor to terapagos and the present day torterra
Them not including the distortion world (as we saw it in the older Sinnoh games (D, P, PL)) in Legends Arceus is a huge missed opportunity. Instead we got those distortion spaces, but I'm not sure if that counts as the same thing. 😅
Uhh, there was no Distortion World in Diamond or Pearl. Only in Platinum. That's why the overly faithful remakes didn't have it (outside of the tiny room in Ramanas Park).
@robertlupa8273 Regardless, it would have been cool to see the Distortion world in Legends Arceus, instead of just the distortion spaces. A huge, huge missed opportunity, for sure! But it was a good game regardless. ☺️
@@ClefairyFairySnowflake They should've made it so when Giratina enters its second phase, it opens a portal to the Distortion World and drags the player into it. Would've been cool even if it was just as a battle stage
I read a fan theory somewhere about the connection between paldea and kalos. They believed the ultimate weapon was made from Tera crystals, which kinda makes sense given its unknown material and shine. They also noted it opens up similarly to glimmora, a significant Pokémon to terrastalization. As well as they loosely connected Area Zero with Az. Yeah it seems kinda interesting, but it seems speculative, so take it with a grain of salt…
In the last gens we got mistical trees if you think about it, in unova we got the tree as a location in white, kalos got xeniarse, alola got the battle tree, galar the giant tree of the dlc and now paldea got the tera tree
This is a total conspiracy theory, but I think the crystalline tree area in the Area Zero Underdepths was Game Freak's revenge for all the harassment they got over Sword and Shield. They looked at the criticisms floating around the internet, picked one anyone would recognize, then flipped it on its head and made a beautiful, fantastical-looking tree that would genuinely intrigue people...and then made it completely pointless. Again, this is just a conspiracy theory, but even if it's true, considering how overblown the Sword and Shield backlash was and how it affected the developers' morale, I would not blame them in the slightest for pulling a move like this.
When a single person barely took an hour to fix what GameFreak could've done in months (between E3 and release), no, they absolutely deserve the hate for those graphical disasters of trees. That's not even mentioning all of the other graphics problems that they promised and didn't deliver. Them making a single really nice tree solely for revenge just cements how much the coders at GameFreak are wasting time.
@@SockieTheSockPuppet It's one thing to criticize the developers for not making the best game they possibly could, but the backlash went WAY beyond that. Game Freak's gotten criticized for the Scarlet and Violet issues as well, but those are almost all justified and rarely go farther than they have to. The fan response to Sword and Shield's shortcomings went way too far, and Game Freak had every right to tell them off for their behavior.
I think a good contender for a weird place in Galar would be the Dusty Bowl in the Wild Area. It's the place where you can evolve Galarian Yamask. There doesn't seem to be a definite explanation why that's the case. At least for stuff like Probopass, Leafeon, and Glaceon, their location-based evolutions are easy enough to understand. But for Runerigus, what's actually significant in that archway that it's a catalyst for its evolution?
There are a ton of unexplained areas in Area Zero like that one room with Roaring Moon or Iron Valiant which I kinda wished was explained. Ive been wondering what those weird circle markings on the floor was meant to be but the game never seemed to acknowledge it ever
I think it's pretty obvious that Challenger's cave was supposed to be home to a legendary, probably Keldeo and you would need the three swords or justice to make it pop, but that was scrapped for whatever reason
Someone was really proud when they made that tree and then told Masuda or whoever "You better put that tree in the trailer or we're going to have problems!"
I really thought the tera tree would be a special area in the area zero underdepths where you could possibly shiny hunt walking wake or iron leaves, definitely a missed opportunity for sure.
The spinoff games have weird areas as well. For example, the first PMD games, there are recruitment zones that look like man-made labs despite the Pokémon world seemingly having zero native humans.
that tree had me thinking all kinds of things..only to be nothing. the trailer made it look so important and potentially like someone or something had to be freed from it. nope. just a tree.
I like the idea that ppl from Johto built a tower for Rayquaza, since towers are a reoccurring theme of legendaries and honouring pkmn in Johto. Wish more of the pkmn regions had this kind of cultural development, a lot of them feel very surface level in that regard, and it would do more to spice up the games (for me at least) that one-off-gimmicks, I think part of the reason the Johto games are so fondly remembered, despite so many issues, is that of all the regions it felt the most lived in.
11:38 I actually don't think Guzzlord is responsible for the destruction of that planet. You can look around the area at various details, and then ask the guy in the hazmat suit about them. He talks about how the people living on the planet kept polluting it before leaving it behind, and that Guzzlord is a species who would eat the pollution, but have been dying out in recent years. That guy loves Guzzlord, but the people took advantage of it to clean up their pollution.
12:20 Live Miguel O'Hara Reaction Also I'm so glad someone else thinking that a pokemon game in one of the "broken" timelines where the villains won would be sick! I'd like to think it would be more of a Faller situation where the main character accidently ends up in that reality since the actually main character of that timeline doesn't exist. The player you'd be as the main character wouldn't be a version of the timeline's main character that doesn't exist, but someone else entirely, kind of like how in the Alola games you technically aren't from the Alola region if that makes sense. Horrifying thought, but imagine how messed up the Black and White timeline would be to explore and see where Ghetsis had won...
When you get down to it, Chairman Rose basically won. Sure it was a lot more convoluted than he thought it would be, and he ended up going to prison, but he stopped the threat and will be remembered forever in Galarian history...
Of the villains pre-gen7, if Team Rocket won it'd just be a mafia-run world which is just bleak and depressing with no real solution in sight, if aqua/magma/flare/galactic won the world is just over... I think an alternate reality where Team Plasma took over Unova and started conquering the pokemon world could be super interesting, maybe you'd be/meet N and form a resistance movement which eventually gets the help of some of the surviving regions and liberates Unova?
at this point im just relying on the anime to fill in the details that SV failed to explain on, from the current plot it seems like it will at least provide more explanations. recently they went to to Kitakami's crystal pool and they just said that "long ago crystals from another land were brought and put into the lake". not much to go on but im sure the anime will give bigger meanings to some of the unanswered stuff in the games
God the crystal pool is frickin weird. And they tell you that you can meet dead spirits there but you never do because the person you meet is clearly from an earlier time before their sudden end, AND they're from a different timeline where that may not even happen to them! Especially since we seem to convince them to alter their path...
legends za is going to be from a time line where lysandre fired the ultimate weapon at partial power, and it arced onto lumiose city that's why i has to be rebuilt
Actually, in Galar's wild area there is this old tower that you can interact with, doing so games the same dialogue as a deactivated Max Raid den. Never mind, apparently it is used for events.
Surprisingly you didn’t mention the weird place in the center of Unova that’s used for that minigame everyone ignores I don’t even remember what any of it is called
I will always remember the alternative deminsion since I was leveling up my cosmog there and when it evolved it turned into a lunala instead of a sogolao
I still think the tera tree was supposed to have the unused purple or orange key items to give your ride a special teraform. Also im betting theres a female terapagos under kitakami that wouldve pokegen non-transferable pokemon.
Happy JPR Friday!! Which unexplained area are you most curious about?

Yes
That was quite an interesting sponsor, I must say. Definitely got my attention with that monster-taming novel. :)
STOP BEING GREEDY NOW
I am keeping track of your Unown hatred throughout these videos
@@kyledavid9415 In what way is getting a UA-cam sponsorship "greedy"? You do realize that content creation is a job for some people that and ad revenue and sponsors are how said people are paid, right? 💀
The Abyssal ruins looked like they'd be so important with a dope story but ended up really just having collectable items to sell
It's an interesting lore area, at the very least. This is even acknowledged in B2W2.
@WildWeavile I think the ruins are just prophesizing N's birth. As far as we know, he doesn't have any grand lineage. And I think I remember them speaking in future-tense
I can’t remember how long I spent as a kid down there just trying to find anything and not just looking at the internet for 5 seconds
@@Gatchu137 Zinzolin outright states that that the king had the power to talk with Pokémon, a power which he speculates to have been passed down to his descendants. So it's pretty much confirmed the king was N's ancestor.
I spent hours upon hours there thinking a new legend or an old legend was chillin, and I was messing up somehow when kicked out
For galar some weird locations are the destroyed tower in the wild area, the rock that evolves yamask for no apparent reason, the entirety of Route 8.
What's weird about Route 7?
@@skotiaH2Oit’s a very small route and has tunnels on both side and on top. the right one going to Spikemuth and the left one going to Hammerlocke with the top one going to route 8. it’s weird because it’s just such a small route that almost serves no purpose because it’s almost like an area filler. if you think about it, instead of route 7 being there, it could’ve been just one continuous tunnel from route 9 outside Spikemuth, to Hammerlocke so maybe Route 7 could’ve been somewhere else if you know what i mean
sorry for the long explanation 😅
The destroyed tower was there for you to put items that create raid dens. This wasn't used outside of the preorder bonus
@@FayezUllah-hk7ckit was also used for events
@@skotiaH2O whops I meant route 8, the route that has ruins. Sorry😅
I honestly do think the Max Lair in the Crown Tundra is somewhat interesting since that's probably where Eternatus landed 20,000 years ago.
Weirdly enough, Legendary Pokémon always leave a giant creator when they land(Kyurem and Terapagos) But Galar has none.
11:40
The Ultra Ruin wasn't destroyed by Guzzlords, they're just the cleanup crew humanity left behind to hopefully restore the planets habitability. It's implied that what actually caused the apocalypse in that dimension was a nuclear power plant going critical and devastating the area.
So the Guzzlords are basically Wall-E?
Also, the anime *did* have them be the cause of an alternate universe's destruction, so maybe JPR mixed up his lore.
The crystals in Kitakami were brought by Kieran's mask maker ancestor, who also used them to make Ogerpon's masks. This was explained in the story. As to why there's so many, well... we've seen them grow and expand in Area Zero, so it's safe to assume that something similar happened there as well.
The crystal tree under Area Zero is just GF spitting at those who complained about the trees during the Sword/Shield releases.
In the Adventures manga it's stated that Embedded Tower was indeed built by Draconids.
Ruby and Norman return to their home region to investigate it during the ORAS chapter.
I can see the Challenger's Cave being Cobalion's prior home before moving to Mistralton.
Perhaps the construction of Route Nine Mall and Tubeline Bridge made them relocate.
As for the Chamber of Emptiness, there's a likelihood it was where we would find Hoopa.
In the TCG we see Tornadus in Dyna Tree Hill, who assumes the form of a Bird as Therian.
I expected for the Crystal Tree to had been the source of the Herba Mystica in Paldea.
Being protected by a Garganacl (one of Arven's Pokemon) was such an easy lore nugget.
Always enjoy how the manga fleshes things out
@@JPRPokeTrainer98 The SwSh arc fixes Chairman Rose by a long margin!
The manga also speculates that Gurkinn could be a distant Draconid descendant. Look, I like lore connections as much as the next guy, but why should the secrets of Mega Evolution be exclusive to this one group of people? The Adventures universe can be really cynical sometimes...
A bit of a correction here 12:00, The villains didn't win in their timelines because of Rainbow Rocket, it's the opposite, Rainbow Rocket recruited them because they won in their timelines
_Maybe_ JPR meant "we know this happened because Rainbow Rocket exists"?
I took it as “we know they won because Rainbow rocket exists”
And I may be misremembering, but it was also implied that the only reason those specific villains won was because there weren’t any protagonist characters to oppose them.
you did galar dirty for like no reason lmao. watchtower ruins? the strange rock formation that evolves yamask? the max lair??
the chamber of emptiness is clearly just there to have a kinda spooky atmosphere (hence the spooky plate)
Galar and Gen 8 (besides Legends: Arceus) deserve every single ounce of hate.
I was thinking there was gonna be some secret civilization or ruins of a civilization made of crystal in the deeper area of area zero. Like that crystal tree has to mean something it was used for promotion and it led up to nothing💀
That tree must've suffered the same fate as Terapagos, being swallowed into the depths of the earth due to earthquakes and tectonic movements and then crystallized alive. I guess that's all it was hinting at, in the end.
If I HAD to guess, it's to imply AZ was there, as any tree that can't be explained any other way seems to indicate it was planted by AZ. A GOOD exception is the tree that the Crown Shrine was built around, as the stone statue 'plaques' state it was a sapling then & the implication is that the Crown Shrine had its roof 'ripped off' by Eternatus' gravitational pull like the buildings around the Crown Tundra & Galar's Route 8 back during the ancient times of 3,000 years before Hammerlcoke Castle was built so Zacian & Zamazenta had to wait for Eternatus to get large enough for them to get a clean shot in. Registeel's Sheild Dex Entry already implies many Regigigigas couldn't be sealed away until around 10,000 years ago( *And now Scarlet's Dex Entry for Gogoat would further strongly imply that it wasn't until 5,000 years ago humans would have the means to challenge Regigigas as Skiddo are thought to be one of the first Pokemon to live in harmony with humans. Unclear if Cyclizar during a 'Mini Ice Age'/Glacial Period should count* ) , so the ropes being still bound until at least then applies by consequence, Groudon & Kyogre's Primal Forms are the key to the how & the Lental Seafloor Ruins being built on a spot that's now at least 1,000 meters/3,280.84 Feet underwater around 2,000 years later SHOULD be enough to suggest how crazy Kyogre's impact on the world was & why people outright believe it created the sea beyond mere expansion & we KNOW it was awake on at least two occasions in the last 2,000 years.
I believe AZ planted the Laverre Tree at least 500 years before the one Wallace remarked was given by AZ( *Or rather 'The tall man from Kalos' * ) at the dawn of Sootopolis' earliest birth. I suspect he also planted Kleavor's Tree at the birth of Sinnoh/Hisui & later Electrode's 1,000 years before Legends Arceus, explaining the size difference between the two which Melli even notes on when he says Kleavor's Tree is "stupidly oversized". My theory is that Arceus created the Voltorb species with its 10th bolt, so AZ could never locate it until the 10 bolts struck again, whereupon one of its descendants was now an Electrode.
AZ planting the Trees indicates his movements throughout the ages, 'eye balling' the 'Crystal Tree' at 13:52 make it SEEM smaller than Kleavor's Tree, so assuming rightfully or wrongfully that Terastal Energy DOESN'T effect plant growth like Dynamax & Illumina Energy are implied to, I Would say that the Tree is probably around 1,500 years old. The tree was likely planted by AZ after Laverre's Tree after AZ came to Kalos alongside people from Sinnoh purely by walking through the Sinjoh route to Johto. Johto & Kalos were likely physically linked much like Kalos & Paldea are now even after the ropes came undone, the separation of Johto & Kalos was likely a volcanic eruption from the hotspot that would've otherwise later created Sootopolis like in RSE & Xerneas, which died around 800 years ago was likely caught in the crossfire( *Jury's still out on Yveltal in Pokemon Y* ), fueling Kalos aggression through excess Illumina Energy, causing the surrounding civilizations of Paldea to unite against a common enemy, hence why Xerneas & Yveltal's deaths are the only known events to have happened around the 'ball park' of 805 years ago. Incidentally, I'd say that volcanic eruption also 'woke up' Groudon/Kyogre sleeping in Embedded Tower, which escaped 'ORAS Style' leading to the tower's collapse, around 200 after Kyogre & Groudon lost their Primal Forms to otherwise explain Embedded Tower's collapse in a world that by implication doesn't 'line up' with Emerald( *Where Groudon was in Mt. Chimney* ).
If AZ planted the Tree around 1,500 years ago it would be after around 500 years of the Paldean Empire ruling the Region, AZ wasn't a part of the Emperor's men & managed to come back because the dude lived through being engulfed in the blast from the Ultimate Weapon & only has a metal 'knee cap' to show for it. Since Terapagos seems to be both the Treasure of Area Zero & the source of Herba Mystica, all AZ would have to do is bring them back to further inspire the first Emperor's successors to devote to getting the Mythical Treasure, and if an old man like AZ could come back & live to tell the tale, why wouldn't much younger military men think they couldn't do the same, thus initially boosting their morale?
The thing that really sells me on this idea is the question of Gimmighoul's existence being tied to around 1,500 years ago & getting a trailer of its own dedicated to it, where did this passion linked to its existence come from? According to Arven, eating all of the Herba Mystica made his Mabosstiff start 'bursting with energy' after it was brought back from the brink of being cold to the touch & at least effectively blind, the Herba Mystica being even so indirectly linked to Gimmighoul's existence would make sense conceptually & linking it to AZ being in Ancient Sinnoh would fit with how much ScVi references Legends Arceus.
As for the exact reason for why AZ left Sinnoh for Paldea, Legends Arceus implies by the Origin Ore being one of the shards that 'make up' Arceus' plates that they are the lava shells of 'Z Crystals', the one we get being specifically a Firium Z( *Explaining the Red Crystals, beyond the assumption they're directly linked to the Red Chain* ) presumably wedged between a Normalium( *Which the Blank Plate is likely made of* ) & Steelium( *Just wrap a bunch of 'Z Crystal in Light Clay, which are bot found in the Sinnoh Underground & was an item introduced in DP, 'color code' them to tell them apart, carve the messages like ancient people did with clay, put them in a kiln, and BAM: You've got your STONE tablets. The Legends Plate further implies you'd line them up into sets of three by three & then stack them so all types are contained inside. 'Z Crystals' fit into the palm of '11 year' child from Kanto & the Plates are only so much taller than an 15 'year old's' hand.* ). To link this to the theory each Ultra Space is a future version of each world where a villainous team won, the idea specifically that Megalo Tower is a repurposed Prism Tower & the people of 'Ultra Megalopolis' are descendants of Team Flare, their ancestors created Necrozma, much like the Aether Foundation created 'Type Null', to absorb the piece of Arceus asleep atop Spear Pillar. This would explain why Arceus is effected by the 'Z Plates'( *I'm just going to 'straight up' call them that* ), so just like Lunala & Solgaleo, Necrozma kept coming back to Sinnoh to try to reclaim what was its. I speculate this also happened after Legends Arceus, hence why it was sealed atop Spear Pillar, while the piece at Sinjoh Ruins is the Arceus from Guardian Signs, hence the Islands are called Oblivia, heck it's even the FRENCH word meaning roughly: *To Be Forgotten.*
2:07 I've heard somewhere that the pattern could resemble a circuit board. Considering how many _bugs_ live in this area, it makes for quite a funny visual pun. :) Then again, I'm not sure if said pun makes sense in Japanese, so...
I remember that one to, might have been Didyouknowgaming
pretty sure the word bug is just bug in every language
Programming bugs have that name as a reference to actual bugs that would get inside the machines and interfere with a computer's proper functioning, so i believe the joke is multilingual
@@RRRR-jr1gp bug is bagu in japanese
@@dominicmoisant8393 Japanese actually use the word 昆虫 Konchū or 虫 Mushi for bug.
I think the Tera tree is to show how old the area ur in is. Up top in the first few levels of Area Zero, we see trees with Tera crystals growing around the trees. This tree has been fully terrastalized, showing that it’s been here much longer, OR that Tera power is a lot stronger in here, making the crystals grow faster😅❤
4:43 That only really started with ORAS once there were too many old legendaries to give them all unique quests and locations.
The locked power plant door and the room with the alakazite in reflection cave would've been great locations for Diance and Volcanion
The metric of "weird" being "have the least to do" is extremely disappointing.
The crystal in the crystal lake likely came from the man accidentally dropping some into the lake. The story refer to the crystal as "brought from somehwere far away" hinting that it didn't exist in Kitakami prior to the man's arrival
Those crystals though were used to make Ogrepon's masks, so we have no indications on how more crystals could have ended up in the lake.
@ it didn’t say it used all of them. Tera crystal are also observed to be capable of spreading, so just some is enough
@@evan_mirDM And that right there is why one of them being dropped in the pool is unnecessary. The implication is the man was part of Heath's team, therefore the crystals were brought around 200 years ago, and for just as long the masks they were partially made from have rested inside Kitakami Hall. This explains Tera Raid Dens as a whole being all over Kitakami in modern day.
The implication at Research Station No 4 is that those crystals hold a large amount of Tera Energy, explaining why the experiment on Terapagos left them behind. Even though they supposedly have NOTHING on the black crystals, according to Jacq. Given the subtle world-building, minus maybe an exact coloration, I'm starting to wonder if Game Freak is implying Necrozma is made from said crystals, especially since according to Looker its body refracts light.
14:31 In reality, we know that Ogerpon trainer around 200 years before the DLC brought the Crystal from a Distand Land (Paldea) and put them in the lake
I think a prototype/beta Magearna would make the most sense as Tettou/a scrapped Gen6 Mythical that was moved to Gen7.
Not only Magearna seems to fit Kalos' aesthetic better than Alola's, but it is also linked to Volcanion, a Gen6 Mythical, in one of the movies.
I’m pretty sure the Tera Crystal Tree in Area Zero was just there to show “Hey, you know the trees up top in Area Zero that have the bottoms of them turned to crystal? That’s how far the Tera energy goes.”
The tree in SV was just The Paths
Eren Yeager???
Its never explaned but Glimet/Glimmora most likely evolved to consume Tera Crystals to keep the growth of them at bay since Terapegos uses them to terraform the enviroment. As for the tree it was preserved by the crystals overtime since the Siesmic Shift had occured, or its a fully grown Herba Mystica.
When goddess of sun, Yugi muto locked himself inside the cave, the firebird pokemon, mega ultra chicken was sad, very very sad. That's why no kanto birds ever showed up in duelist kingdom's safari zone
Sir, this is a Wendy's.
Ok ok, but what does Pot of Greed do?
Back in the day I always wondered why they went out of their way to mention the Chamber of Emptiness on the map. Weird of them to hype up an area that only contains an Arceus Plate and a rather unmemorable Mega Evolution.
I think that glimmet is a seed that covers itself in Tera shards to amplify its strength. Some glimmet ended up in Kitakami, and some of the crystals on them fell into the pool.
I think the lost Gen 6 legendary was more likely to be Stakataka. Just a vibe, it just seems like the odd one out among the Ultra Beasts (who I know aren’t legendaries, doesn’t mean it wasn’t planned to be)
Hm... I've seen quite a few videos like these in the past, and the Scorched Slab is discussed quite consistently across them, but this is the first time the Mythology reference is mentioned. That's actually a really cool detail, especially since I'm kinda a fan of various mythos..es? mythei? mythos(plural)?
Funnily though, that makes this area a lot LESS weird to me, since I now understand the reference and why it just holds a random Sunny Day TM. That doesn't make it not worth discussing, though. Learning new things *is* what makes these kinds of videos enjoyable, after all.
Keep up the great work!
Awesome video
As someone who has played Leaf Green numerous times I was so disappointed when Dotted Cave or Tanoby Ruins didn't have the Regis like I assumed they would when I found them
I’ve seen people say that Zeraora could’ve been originally designed to be the squirrel on the world tree, so it would’ve had something to do with Zygarde, and the shinies of the XYZ trio and Zeraora look very similar so there could’ve been some connection.
That's interesting. It's also an Electric type to contrast Zygarde's Ground type. I always thought it was just the winner of a "create your own Pokémon" contest
@@edgargaebolg9307 It DOES look extremely generic, doesn't it? There's always been something about it that puzzles me, and i guess that's exactly it. It looks like it came straight out of a Pokémon clone game.
Well, if that recent Giga leak is anything to go by, there’s a strong possibility of this being true, SPOILERS BELOW
given both Zygarde and Zeraora are getting megas in Legends ZA
Maybe the Crystal Tree requires the Six Hero Pokemon. Dumb guess, I know.
No, that would be cool
Anime can always add there own spin since already are
I remember spending so much time trying to get something other than Zubat to appear in Altering Cave. Oh the days before everything was in the internet right away 😂
In Johto I wish they would have done something more interesting with Bellchime Trail. It’s this beautiful trail perpetually in autumn but all you do it walk to Tin Tower and find hidden mushrooms.
In Sinnoh, Ravaged Path always felt weird and out of place. What is the point in this random cave that just has a few items that you can’t even get until much later in the game so most people will probably never go back?
In Paldea, unless I missed some dialogue, it bothered me that there are ruins in almost every part of the open areas of each province with little to no lore about them. Are they former villages? Remains of the Paldean Empire?
There's no info about them, but Spain has a lot of ruins from different cultures so they're probably just referencing that
I'm pretty sure the Crystal Pool happened because Ogerpon's trainer had some Tera cystals, they ended up in the pond, and they grew from there.
Don't recall if that's confirmed somewhere in game or if that's just a fan theory.
It's at least heavily hinted that those crystals in the masks are Tera crystals, and those two lived on the mountain, so it's a solid theory.
I feel like the water would be distrusted if the crystals could be traced to the masked man
I think the tree was meant to show us like how in the upper layer trees where getting terrastilize, so did this tree. The difference is it was completely eroded until nothing was left of it. Saying that when terrapagos unleashed it's power any plants or life that was down there was nearly devoured by the crystals. Which is why most pokemon are rock pokemon.
It sure looked like it was alive.
Do check out the originally planned, but later scrapped parts to the Sevii Islands that aren't about the Altering Cave, things would be quite interesting from there

Route 24 and 25 from Kanto always stood out to me. Route 24 has the Unknown Dungeon/Cerulean Cave, while 25 has Bills house. Was there supposed to be some postgame content that was cut?
I doubt it. The early Kanto games didn't have a lot of memory and were pretty thin in terms of plot to begin with.
I thought the crystal tree in gen 9 dlc would've been something cool but sadly it was just there too look pretty -_-
Area Zero's Underdepths Tree should've been a place where you fought Iron Leaves (Violet)/Walking Wake (Scarlet), I mean, it's a crystalized tree surrounded by a lake!!! All of the Mandatory Stellar Tera Pokémon battles in the Underdepths should've been battles against the new Paradox Pokémon! Way better than finding 2 of them in random places across Area Zero and one being event-locked... They could've even created new mythical paradoxes inspired by Ho-oh and Keldeo!!!
Thunder Serpent Narwa jumpscare
My headcanon about dyna tree Hill is that it's in the place where the meteorite eturnatus was in landed
I always thought the random cliff ledge that you can get to by collecting all the unknowns in diamond, pearl, and platinum was weird. It has no purpose as far as I know, and I have never been able to find any sort of information on why that cliffside was there and accessible.
I like to think that whichever of Groudon or Kyogre wasn't sealed in Seafloor Cavern in Ruby and Sapphire was canonically sealed in the Embedded Tower in Johto. After all, Heart Gold and Soul Silver get the opposite legendary of whichever Hoenn game they share canon with. It makes sense for people to want them separated, so sticking one at the bottom of the ocean and shipping the other off to a separate region makes sense. There's way more intention here than your average post-game legendary dump.
Regarding the Area Zero tree, I have a theory. If Terapagos actually was a plentiful species that went extinct eons ago, maybe the one we get is just a regular Pokemon that was mutated by long term exposure to the local energy. Maybe the tree really is the origin point, and we pinned it on the turtle by mistake. It's just hard to imagine something with all those crazy reality warping powers existing in large numbers. Probably wrong, but it's decent food for thought.
I like how you used Narwa from monster hunter as a shadow for the mystery gen 6 pokemon!
My personal theory on the Crystal tree in the depths of area zero is the island looks like a torterra's back, a terastallized torterra that would be a comon ancestor to terapagos and the present day torterra
Them not including the distortion world (as we saw it in the older Sinnoh games (D, P, PL)) in Legends Arceus is a huge missed opportunity. Instead we got those distortion spaces, but I'm not sure if that counts as the same thing. 😅
Uhh, there was no Distortion World in Diamond or Pearl. Only in Platinum. That's why the overly faithful remakes didn't have it (outside of the tiny room in Ramanas Park).
@robertlupa8273 Regardless, it would have been cool to see the Distortion world in Legends Arceus, instead of just the distortion spaces. A huge, huge missed opportunity, for sure! But it was a good game regardless. ☺️
@@ClefairyFairySnowflake They should've made it so when Giratina enters its second phase, it opens a portal to the Distortion World and drags the player into it. Would've been cool even if it was just as a battle stage
@edgargaebolg9307 It's cool to imagine the possibilities.
I went back to the area zero underdepths to take pictures of my pokemon with a cool background.
That's about it though.
3:40 That book is a Chowder reference. There's a reason I like JPR.
I read a fan theory somewhere about the connection between paldea and kalos. They believed the ultimate weapon was made from Tera crystals, which kinda makes sense given its unknown material and shine. They also noted it opens up similarly to glimmora, a significant Pokémon to terrastalization. As well as they loosely connected Area Zero with Az. Yeah it seems kinda interesting, but it seems speculative, so take it with a grain of salt…
Crystals are generally important in JRPGs to begin with.
I never had heard about the jade orb! And i didn't know you could catch groundon on that game
In the last gens we got mistical trees if you think about it, in unova we got the tree as a location in white, kalos got xeniarse, alola got the battle tree, galar the giant tree of the dlc and now paldea got the tera tree
This is a total conspiracy theory, but I think the crystalline tree area in the Area Zero Underdepths was Game Freak's revenge for all the harassment they got over Sword and Shield. They looked at the criticisms floating around the internet, picked one anyone would recognize, then flipped it on its head and made a beautiful, fantastical-looking tree that would genuinely intrigue people...and then made it completely pointless. Again, this is just a conspiracy theory, but even if it's true, considering how overblown the Sword and Shield backlash was and how it affected the developers' morale, I would not blame them in the slightest for pulling a move like this.
When a single person barely took an hour to fix what GameFreak could've done in months (between E3 and release), no, they absolutely deserve the hate for those graphical disasters of trees. That's not even mentioning all of the other graphics problems that they promised and didn't deliver. Them making a single really nice tree solely for revenge just cements how much the coders at GameFreak are wasting time.
@@SockieTheSockPuppet It's one thing to criticize the developers for not making the best game they possibly could, but the backlash went WAY beyond that. Game Freak's gotten criticized for the Scarlet and Violet issues as well, but those are almost all justified and rarely go farther than they have to. The fan response to Sword and Shield's shortcomings went way too far, and Game Freak had every right to tell them off for their behavior.
@ZachaRicO "almost all justified" - you're kidding me, right?
People are so spoiled.... 🤦♀️

I think a good contender for a weird place in Galar would be the Dusty Bowl in the Wild Area. It's the place where you can evolve Galarian Yamask. There doesn't seem to be a definite explanation why that's the case.
At least for stuff like Probopass, Leafeon, and Glaceon, their location-based evolutions are easy enough to understand. But for Runerigus, what's actually significant in that archway that it's a catalyst for its evolution?
Shoutout to the Mark Martin shirt! Cool to see a fellow Pokemon fan who also likes the old days of NASCAR. Johnny Benson is my favorite. 😊
There are a ton of unexplained areas in Area Zero like that one room with Roaring Moon or Iron Valiant which I kinda wished was explained. Ive been wondering what those weird circle markings on the floor was meant to be but the game never seemed to acknowledge it ever
Happy jpr friday and a such a smooth transition indeed
I think it's pretty obvious that Challenger's cave was supposed to be home to a legendary, probably Keldeo and you would need the three swords or justice to make it pop, but that was scrapped for whatever reason
The damn crystal tree was such a disappointment.
Why are Pokémon "fans" always so angry about trees, of all things? Pathetic.
Someone was really proud when they made that tree and then told Masuda or whoever "You better put that tree in the trailer or we're going to have problems!"

They know what humans are though so there must be some connection

that tree had me thinking all kinds of things..only to be nothing. the trailer made it look so important and potentially like someone or something had to be freed from it. nope. just a tree.

I like the idea that ppl from Johto built a tower for Rayquaza, since towers are a reoccurring theme of legendaries and honouring pkmn in Johto. Wish more of the pkmn regions had this kind of cultural development, a lot of them feel very surface level in that regard, and it would do more to spice up the games (for me at least) that one-off-gimmicks, I think part of the reason the Johto games are so fondly remembered, despite so many issues, is that of all the regions it felt the most lived in.
Pokemon x and y have the weirdest area i swear, being that useless elevator and building in the background thats never used.
11:38 I actually don't think Guzzlord is responsible for the destruction of that planet. You can look around the area at various details, and then ask the guy in the hazmat suit about them. He talks about how the people living on the planet kept polluting it before leaving it behind, and that Guzzlord is a species who would eat the pollution, but have been dying out in recent years.
That guy loves Guzzlord, but the people took advantage of it to clean up their pollution.

Also I'm so glad someone else thinking that a pokemon game in one of the "broken" timelines where the villains won would be sick! I'd like to think it would be more of a Faller situation where the main character accidently ends up in that reality since the actually main character of that timeline doesn't exist. The player you'd be as the main character wouldn't be a version of the timeline's main character that doesn't exist, but someone else entirely, kind of like how in the Alola games you technically aren't from the Alola region if that makes sense. Horrifying thought, but imagine how messed up the Black and White timeline would be to explore and see where Ghetsis had won...
When you get down to it, Chairman Rose basically won. Sure it was a lot more convoluted than he thought it would be, and he ended up going to prison, but he stopped the threat and will be remembered forever in Galarian history...
Of the villains pre-gen7, if Team Rocket won it'd just be a mafia-run world which is just bleak and depressing with no real solution in sight, if aqua/magma/flare/galactic won the world is just over... I think an alternate reality where Team Plasma took over Unova and started conquering the pokemon world could be super interesting, maybe you'd be/meet N and form a resistance movement which eventually gets the help of some of the surviving regions and liberates Unova?
at this point im just relying on the anime to fill in the details that SV failed to explain on, from the current plot it seems like it will at least provide more explanations. recently they went to to Kitakami's crystal pool and they just said that "long ago crystals from another land were brought and put into the lake".
not much to go on but im sure the anime will give bigger meanings to some of the unanswered stuff in the games
God the crystal pool is frickin weird. And they tell you that you can meet dead spirits there but you never do because the person you meet is clearly from an earlier time before their sudden end, AND they're from a different timeline where that may not even happen to them! Especially since we seem to convince them to alter their path...

Actually, in Galar's wild area there is this old tower that you can interact with, doing so games the same dialogue as a deactivated Max Raid den. Never mind, apparently it is used for events.
It only lights up the first time you say it, not every time
"An unreleased electric metal pokemon" and its a Narwa's shadow xDD
It’s obviously Psychic Terrain. That’s the only right answer. Heck, the game literally says the battlefield gets weird when you use the move 💀

Its explained that it was ogerpon trainer that brought the crystal to it.
