A note about Beni (Wally's ancestor): he mentions in post-game that he wants to settle down at a warmer region since he's getting older. Guess what's a warm region? Hoenn. For more context: Hoenn is based on Japan's Kyushu region, which is the country's southern islands thus, the warmer islands. Sinnoh/Hisui's based on Hokkaido- the northern islands where it's the coldest.

It’s pretty fun finding out who’s ancestors is who! And then there’s Ingo, who is the same Ingo. This is the one game I thought we wouldn’t see a returning character for, considering it’s in the past, but seeing him here made me smile just a bit.
What I love about Ingo being here is that his Japanese name is “Nobori”, which also means to climb. He was pulled across time and space for a long winded pun
@@Retsu_07 Yeah, and I doubt Adaman's descendants would have ever really moved anywhere near the pokemon version of "Europe" or wherever Kalos is in the Pokemon world to have led to Sycamore being born
I disagree. Hisuian people mostly come from another region. And remember: Hisui and Johto used to be whole (aka Sinjoh) but somehow they split, become two different regions. Also, the artist clearly makes many characters that look very similar to many NPCs in modern times. Still not confirmed yet, but based on the appearance, we can 80% assume most of the them
It should be clarified that the protagonists (the player) is not an ancestor but a time traveler (the cinematic at the beginning of the game makes this very clear) although the question would be if we are the protagonists of 4 Gen (lucas and dawn)
Shortly after you first enter Jubilife Village, it is mentioned that you are around the Age of 15. If you play as the Protagonist of Diamond/Pearl Lucas/Dawn, who were 10 when starting their Pokémon journey, there is a 4-5 Year Gap that the character could've spent travelling to other regions - explaining the Shirt your character is wearing at the beginning of Legends Arceus. The game also makes it clear your character has some amount of memory loss, as you were pulled through what is essentially an Ultra Wormhole by Arceus - thus its need to treat you like you've never experienced Pokémon before!
If u pick the male (that's lucas from the future) then Akari is the ancestor. And if u pick the female (Dawn) then Rei is ur ancestor. And no It's not an incest thing at all
Charm is implied to be the shared ancestor to both Bertha and Agatha. Due to her mannerisms, how she dresses, and her choice of both Pokémon types, and species she uses. Also is stated to come originally from Kanto. For the Alder ancestor comparison you forgot about Alder’s grandson Benji. Who you fight in either White Tree or Black City depending on the version in the postgame. Also Buck seems to have a distinct yellow stripe while his brother and ancestor don’t.
@@theyounglinker5044 I still think they are related, but Buck inherited traits from the parent who married into the family. That or it is dye like another commenter pointed out. Still his hair is not as afroic like his other relatives.
That can't be an Alder ancestor. Remember that there was already a hero when a space-time rift was made last time. That person, who I say is Alder, is in all clan houses. The guy in the painting has to be the hero. Put together that it is possible to get dragged through the rift to another time and the fact that the guy has Pokballs draping from him just like Alder (despite the tech just now being invented), and it has to be Alder
@@NicholasSinard Except Alder never had a full on beard or as much wrinkles as the one in the painting. Only a stubble. Nor was his outfit green. Alder wears tannish yellow poncho that is tattered on the edges. Plus while the hair colors is the same the style is distinct to be a different person. Face it, it's Alder and Benji's ancestor.
1. In one of the side quests, you even find an Umbreon in Sanqua's office. 2. In your early battle against Volo - when you have no access to dragons yet - he has a Gible! (After that battle I immediately went to get ice moves for my party 🤦🏻♀️) Absolutely love the references littered here and there. Can't believe I didn't register the Gardenia and Rowan connections though. Edit - To all those asking (and who will ask): Personally, Rowan just didn't leave as much of an impression during my gameplay as, say, the Galactic commanders or the Pokémon League folks. There wasn't anything about him that stood out - he was just the standard issue professor.
I actually think Adaman and Irida are original characters. A lot of people seem to see May in Irida, but I don't think they are that similar, also I think that we would get some kind of reference if she was linked to May. Also I think Iscan could be Marlon's ancestor but I could be reaching.
Keep in mind though that Marlon isn't dark-skinned like Iscan does. He's merely super tan (you can see tan lines around his swimpants and he's quite white). I'm more subscribed to the idea that Iscan is related to Nessa.
I don't know if the game'll have any DLC or anything, but if they end up having like, a Mute Ronin who's Red's ancestor wandering around in it, I can die happy.
You know, it would be great and a little sad at the same time if they added some kind of ancestor related to Ingo and Emmett. So Ingo won’t be really alone. Maybe the ancestor will give him a little hint of reminder about his life before he got transported to Hisui
Quick question once you fall through the rift are you like ya know trapped in hishui forever like can you not go home to the future your like trapped in the past forever
@@alexanderhussussian5653 I wish I knew that too thinking about it is really sad I would be crying cause imagine losing memories of family friends old Pokémon basically everything and no way back
I'm vividly remembering how Sanqua's closet mentions "weird outfits with capes" and I swear to God thats a Clair reference, on top of the gyarados statues she wanted to build on top of the Galactic base being a potential nod to the Dragon's Den.
I'm pretty sure the protagonist is from a world where pokemon don't exist, that's why Arceus explained at the beggining of the game ,,you'll be now transported to a world filled with mysterious creatures ..." Or something similar to this
One character I see overlooked a lot is Tuli from the Gingko Guild. I feel like she's an ancestor of Caitlin (who debuted in the 4th gen) with her sleepy eyes and blond hair.
These are great. It’s all speculation since we know we’ll never get official confirmation, but there’s no doubt for many of them, and I can’t believe I missed some obvi ones like Gardenia.
@@kanedgytheguy8105 Nurse Joy as a character doesn't really exist in the games. All of the nurses have similar designs across the generations, but there's nothing actually relating all of them together like in the anime. Peselle is the head of the Medical Corps so she has the generic nurse design of the series mixed with a character from the Sinnoh games
The protagonist in the games isn’t an ancestor but more so theirselves 4-5 years in the future that got sucked back in the past. Cylene does say you’re about 15 years old and game protagonist in other games are usually 10 or 11. Also pessele could be an ancestor to nurse Joy since she talks about opening up Pokémon healing facility which eventually becomes Pokémon centers which makes Mira a relative to nurse joy
So if I picked the boy, how would you explain the presence of Akari who also looks like Dawn? If I pick the girl, how would you explain Rei, who looks a lot like the male playable character in gen 4? Did they also come from the space-time rift?
I really like that they decided to add ancestor of a battle frontier character, it really was unexpected considering that battle frontiers haven't really been around and come back in the recent Pokemon main games.
I think it's the inverse. With the exception of volo, pretty much almost every one of them is from another region. The clans are not originally from sinnoh after all. They settled there to worship the respective sinnohs.
@@gilldominicmendoza5202 There is a theory that I think is true that the Diamond clan has predominant ancestors to Sinnoh characters and the Pearl clan has predominant ancestors to non-Sinnoh characters. Seems to be true for a majority of them.
many of them aren't from hisui, they even mention that they are JUST settling there. Thats why there's only a handful of small settlements for the clans and the one town in the entire region. Very few people in the game are actually from this region and they others moved from other places such as unova, galar and kanto.
I love that Charm is a ancestor to both Bertha and Agatha, using ground and ghost pokemon Rhydon and Gengar. So from a lore standpoint, them being practically twins can now be found in a potential common ancestor Also about Adaman being Prof. Sycamore's ancestor, while i did see that too, i also thought that Palina (Arcanine's Warden) was his ancestor, as their hair more more closely matched. When i looked a bit further, i think Adaman might be related to Acerola, as they both have a similar hairstyle and they both had a similar hands-on-hip stance.
It's entirely possible that some characters are ancestors to more than one character. Some characters might be distantly related that we would've never known otherwise.
@@gamertwo6263 funny enough, I thought I corrected that before I originally posted it. I remember noting to change "descendant" to "ancestor" and I guess I just lost the thought along the way. I've fixed it now, thanks for letting me know.
Palina looks closer to Professor Magnolia and Sonia imo. Also because of their names (Agatha is Kikuko and Bertha is Kikuno in Japanese, A and B....) the theory that they are related is apparently not new^^
Glad to see I'm not the only one who immediately made the connection between Arezu, Bren and Coin being the ancestors of the Team Galactic commanders. Honestly my favorite Sinnoh reference in the entire game.
This also shows the Galaxy team once stood as a beacon of indifferent striving to a better tomorrow through cooperation. If Cyllene knew what her descendant would turn it into, shed balk in shame...
I actually want Adaman and Irida ended up being together and their descendant is Barry. Irida official concept art resembles Barry's in Platinum, they both have closed mouth angry face + both closed hand fist while personality wise, Both Barry and Adaman are impatient and don't waste their time, both also have brown eyes. It also makes sense that in modern Sinnoh, Barry is the one who guides you on the statue of Eterna City which is the combination of Palkia and Dialga.
I'm pretty sure Pesselle is Nurse Joy and I love that. Such a cute detail, would have been cute if she'd have you bring her a Blissey or Chansey as a request.
I have strong doubts about Adaman and Irida being ancestors to characters we currently know-the precedent is a much stronger resemblance than that. And, like another commenter said, Charm is a “common ancestor” to Bertha and Agatha. I also am not totally convinced on Laventon though I think it’s definitely plausible. (Also, Bren is just the generic design… is Jupiter descended from all the galaxy team girls?)
Laventon is definitely Hop's ancestors - Same skin color and a few, less noticable physical similarities - Talks in English, implying he's either from Unova or Galar - There are Copperajahs in his homeland
While I agree Jupiter is a real stretch, technically, yes, they could all be her ancestors. Depends on how many generations of intermingling families you go. But nah, most likely, probably not.
@@epsilon795 Copperjah: They came over from another region long ago and worked together with humans. Their green skin is resistant to water. So, if his homeland is where Copperjah is... Does that mean we're getting a whole new region probably based on India or something?🙀 Because, that's the Galar decision entry
Anthe seemed so familiar, but then I immediately recognized her descendant. Also, I'm glad they are intertwining the history of past and present. The history and culture of Pokemon are becoming richer and I love that.
Thank you for agreeing that Laventon is related to Leon and Hop ! I was told "No this is dumb" but I noticed the details like purple color, tanned skin and light lines on black cloth ... Plus he speaks some English words in the French version of the game I played, English in Pokemon => Galar !
It is still dumb because Laventon isn't even the only dark-skinned Galarian character in Legends. Floaro is the other named one I can think of, and there are a few more.
Ginter looks more like Professor Birch, and Charm looks like both Bertha AND Agatha from the Kanto Elite Four. Also, if you think about it, she use a Rhydon AND a Gengar, which both Agatha and Bertha are known users of. I mean, Bertha uses Rhyperior, not Rhydon, but it still fits. Wouldn't surprise me if Agatha and Bertha are sisters as well.
He mentions that something reminds him of the Copperajah of his homeland, so Laventon is either from Galar or from a new region. Gen 9 might be inspired by India.
@@ipiinsih3655 pretty much. In one of the dex entries narrated by him he says that in his homeland there are Copperajah iirc, so he probably comes from Galar, and he also uses some british expressions like "Jolly good"
@@temmie2032 but weren't Copperajahs imported from another region? They are not native to Galar. Maybe Laventon is a ancestor of a future character in the next region game
I think May and Prof. Sycamore are the definition of grasping at straws there. I would have personally said Irida looks more like Serena, but even then, I’d also say she’s in no way related or a descendant like the obvious ways others are
@@ArchangelRG09 Yeah that makes a lot of sense now that you mentioned it. I hated Hop with a passion and I disliked Laventon a lot as well. No wonder they’re related.
@@anser6500 hop ok sure (I think he’s a far better rival than asshole edgelords like Blue, silver and bede but sure) but laventon being nice to you is kind of the main point of a professor and reminder he’s the main reason you could even enter the galaxy group and live in the town because if he didn’t believe in you, you’d be left to die in the wild
While every other character is an ancestor Ingo is just existing as himself with the gift of amnesia Sucks that he doesnt remember his own brother emmet
Okay, not all of them are obvious, but not all of those characters are based on another character in the series. Some of them were downright wrong and too original to be an ancestors.
I always thought that maybe Adaman and irida are the ancestor’s to Barry or either they are entirely new characters. Jupiter doesn’t make sense as all the female guards look the same.
Laventon, Adaman and Irida are very large stretch, also you forgot Agatha for Charm, as she basically is direct confirmation of Agatha and Bertha being related, theory that has been teased for years now. Also you forgot Alder's grandson. Personally I think they picked few characters to just be original characters. Laventon Adaman and Irida Iscan and Palina Melli and Calaba All the other designs and naming conventions are extremely on the nose - having convoluted choices like these don't make sense.
@@pottern2296 aside dark skin and maybe just maybe similar pattern between Laventon's suit and Leon's shirt and him being from Galar - there is literally no actual connection. He has different hair, face and body and there is no reference for him to the Pokemon Hop and Leon have. And the last part? If he already moved from Galar, why would he or his descendants move back really?
I think that the player is Lucas/Dawn brought from the future. That would make Rei Dawn's ancestor and Akari Lucas' ancestor, and not the other way around.
It's either A. The non protag becomes the ancestor for the same non protag due to the fact that every game is its own universe and the universe changes depending on what gender you pick and its the same for who the protag and non protag is related to. B. It's some back to the future type shit and protag becomes their own ancestor C. The protag and non protag becomes eachothers ancestors. Or D. Both protag and non protag are the ancestors for dp protag and non protag but the family tree spilts way before dp I personally like B because it's wacky and protag seems to be stranded in hisui.
I always think with Laventon that he's the ancestor to both Chairman Rose and Peony I kinda get the friendly dad like vibe from him that Peony gave me as well as Peony's love of pokemon and Rose's love of history
Some of these I buy, but some are a stretch. Like the previous Pearl and Diamond clan leaders. As well as Iridia and Adaman being related to May and Sycamore.
Spoiler Alert: I think that Volo is actually an ancestor of Lusamine rather than Cynthia. Although Volo's hairstyle matches Cynthia's, his development over the game and into the post-game matches Lusamine: although both characters initally appear to be allies to the player, both end up turning against them to achieve their own personal goals, and both of them see Pokémon as objects rather than equals. Lusamine also has long blond hair and has it cover one of her eyes, though it covers the opposite eye. It's also worth noting that both characters' plots involving using a Pokémon from another world to interact with another Pokémon from a different world, Volo using Giratina to attempt to defeat Arceus, and Lusamine using Nebby (Cosmog/Cosmoem) to communicate with Nihilego.
In the end, Cynthia and Lusamine are quite similar, so i wont be shocked if they were like distant relatives y'know? Maybe they are both related to Volo.
Just realised this, Team Magma's Maxie is one that looks at progress which the diamond clan and time focus on, while Archie believes in nature's preservation and Pearl clan believing in maintaining the old ways and respecting them so fitting their ancestors are in those clans.
There is also the fact that Dialga and Palkia apart from Time and Space, also represent the states of matter. Dialga is solid(hence the Steel type), and Palkia is liquid(hence the water type).
Heartwarming to see that Game Freak keep so much characters in mind. I never saw Ingo as an main character. But the developers remembered even those side characters.
Nah, they're both ancestors. Yes, the player is Lucas/Dawn but given how both can be potential ancestors since IIRC there is no confirmation as to who got sent into time (though I say it should be Lucas) and the fact that both Rei and Akari are their confirmed names even with the time stuff, I still think they are their ancestors but one is from a more modern time.
Facts: in Greek mythology, Ares is the Greek god of war. Now before you say Athena, she's also the goddess of war, but she represents the honorable aspects of war. Ares is the bloodthirsty, malevolent god of war. Slaughter, genocide, etc. In Rome, his equivalent is Mars. So name wise, "arezu" would relate to Mars.
I was convinced that Beni was the ancestor of the elite 4 Aaron, since we met him early game and I was still under the assumption that everyone was going to be from Sinnoh at that point. I was a bit surprised that he had no bug Pokémon, and I feel dumb I didn’t make the Wally connection when he sent out Gallade/Gardevoir
And his hair and eye color plus if you talk to him post game he says stuff about disliking and getting to old for the cold climate and thinking about moving to warmer place which the gen 3 region is clearly warm and is based on a warmer climate southern island region of Japan
Idk how Laventon talks in English version of the game, but in the French version he's speaking some English words randomly, adding to the point that he's Leon/Hop ancestor
I never even thought about that Adaman descendent could be Sycamore or Irida descendent could be May I always thought Adaman and Irida descendents might appear in gen 9
Actually Ingo arrived there before the protagonist did which explains why his clothes are messed up, how he has pearl clan attire, and how he already has caught pokemon. The only thing we don't know is how he came here
Pesselle is also the ancestor of nurse Joy because she is a nurse in this game. Also, nurse Joy is in every Pokémon game and anime. Sabi is also an ancestor of Hapu, the trial captain of Poni Island in Pokémon Sun/Moon because of her design. If you don’t believe me google it. Beni is also an ancestor of the Shadow triad because of his battle pose. Charm is also ancestor of both Bertha and Agatha due sharing the same hairstyles as the them, while also using both Rhydon and Gengar.
I've heard people make the Laventon Hop/Leon comparison but I don't see it, different coloured eyes, different facial features. You could make as much of a link with him to Iris she's at least closer in facial features.
One of the dex entries implies laventon is from Galar, that's why. Not to mention that he throws out the occasional english line even in the japanese version of the game.
The fact that Beni was a cook, along with the shape of his beard and the green hair originally made me think he was related to Cilan. Then that battle happened.
Anyone else find it weird how many references to unova there were, maybe I’m stretching things but the amount of gen 5 Pokémon that got new forms as well as the fact that there are a ton of characters that have descendants from unova, even with the original hero of hissui being a ancestor of alder, on top of that a character from black and white is also in this game. I think it may be hinting to something
@@evol_x_lillygaming4740 yah it’s weird that they were there, and they also added a new genie on top of that. I think they are hinting to a possible legends kyurem or something? Idk
I joked to my friend that this game meant gen5 remakes confirmed but after the disaster that was bdsp i really don't want game freak to touch the gen5 games lol a legends game for Unova would be pretty awesome tho
I like the Irida & Adaman connections. I never thought of that. I always thought their eyes looked like the girl & boy from the Orde region. Also Beni’s connection to food and his hair remind me Cilan

1. In one of the side quests, you even find an Umbreon in Sanqua's office.

Absolutely love the references littered here and there. Can't believe I didn't register the Gardenia and Rowan connections though.
Edit - To all those asking (and who will ask): Personally, Rowan just didn't leave as much of an impression during my gameplay as, say, the Galactic commanders or the Pokémon League folks. There wasn't anything about him that stood out - he was just the standard issue professor.
Which one is professor birch’s ancestors?
@@mt23downpayment53 I think Professor Laventon is Birchs ancestor as well.
@@mt23downpayment53 there isnt one
Rowan is one of the most obvious ones lmao
You literally can’t tell me you didn’t recognize Rowans ancestor
I actually think Adaman and Irida are original characters. A lot of people seem to see May in Irida, but I don't think they are that similar, also I think that we would get some kind of reference if she was linked to May.
Also I think Iscan could be Marlon's ancestor but I could be reaching.
Irida resembles Korrina (from xy series) more than May
Keep in mind though that Marlon isn't dark-skinned like Iscan does. He's merely super tan (you can see tan lines around his swimpants and he's quite white). I'm more subscribed to the idea that Iscan is related to Nessa.
@@winnschott341 yeah aren’t Marlon and Lana from Alola canonically cousins?
Barry, there both the ancestor to Barry, no one can tell me otherwise
Irida looks more like Serena to me
Even in Sinnoh Archie and Maxie's heritages are opposing forces.
Like the Hatfields and the McCoys.
So Maxie & Archie in ultra sun & moon are ancestors? Maybe? Hee~
basically Senju and Uchiha
I don't know if the game'll have any DLC or anything, but if they end up having like, a Mute Ronin who's Red's ancestor wandering around in it, I can die happy.
Come on, Red can totally time travel (he's done literally everything else anyways).
You know, it would be great and a little sad at the same time if they added some kind of ancestor related to Ingo and Emmett. So Ingo won’t be really alone. Maybe the ancestor will give him a little hint of reminder about his life before he got transported to Hisui
if they make another legends Arceus i would be disappointed if they didnt include Emmet

It’s saiyan logic. A persons hair doesn’t change from the day they are born, with the exception of beards, and moustaches.
One character I see overlooked a lot is Tuli from the Gingko Guild. I feel like she's an ancestor of Caitlin (who debuted in the 4th gen) with her sleepy eyes and blond hair.
Oh, true.
She has a generic NPC design

These are great. It’s all speculation since we know we’ll never get official confirmation, but there’s no doubt for many of them, and I can’t believe I missed some obvi ones like Gardenia.
They actually did confirm that Kamado is Rowans ancestor when he was revealed
@@Metatronio 😮
I don't get the peselle one tho, she is very very obviously nurse joy
@@kanedgytheguy8105 Nurse Joy as a character doesn't really exist in the games. All of the nurses have similar designs across the generations, but there's nothing actually relating all of them together like in the anime. Peselle is the head of the Medical Corps so she has the generic nurse design of the series mixed with a character from the Sinnoh games
Colas looks so dum in gardenias hair trust me COLZA GET A FUCKKING HAIRCUT THERE IS ONE IN JUBILIFE VILLAGE
The protagonist in the games isn’t an ancestor but more so theirselves 4-5 years in the future that got sucked back in the past. Cylene does say you’re about 15 years old and game protagonist in other games are usually 10 or 11. Also pessele could be an ancestor to nurse Joy since she talks about opening up Pokémon healing facility which eventually becomes Pokémon centers which makes Mira a relative to nurse joy
More like the genderbent opposite is their ancestor, if you picked Dawn then Rei is the ancestor, if you picked Lucas then Akari likewise
Ehh Nurse Joy isn't exactly a game character. IIRC she is an anime exclusive character, so it is at most a reference.
@@mattishidayeo how is she not a game character when she is present in literally every other game?
@@ArchangelRG09 the nurse isnt named in game iirc?
So if I picked the boy, how would you explain the presence of Akari who also looks like Dawn? If I pick the girl, how would you explain Rei, who looks a lot like the male playable character in gen 4? Did they also come from the space-time rift?
When I first saw Beni uncloaked himself I legit yelled "W-wait WALLY!?"
also charm could be agatha's ancestor, in the arcanine mission she carries a rhydon and a gengar
Probably related to both Bertha and Agatha.
I saw the same connection. Glad I'm not the only one.
@@Wyrm30 I never noticed the same hair style on agatha and bertha until this game xD
One of Shauntal’s lines in her E4 Chamber is pointing out the similarities between Bertha’s and Agatha’s name name and appearance
Charm is also from Kanto. The connection is just too obvious.
I like that Anthe's use in the game is to make the clothing. Her descendant (Darach) is so fancy dressed hahaha
You mean descendant
@@neekless yes thank you!
Anthe is a woman? I thought it was a lipstick wearing man xD
I really like that they decided to add ancestor of a battle frontier character, it really was unexpected considering that battle frontiers haven't really been around and come back in the recent Pokemon main games.
It’s surprising that every ancestor of the characters we know are original from hisui originally and then spread out to other regions
I think it's the inverse. With the exception of volo, pretty much almost every one of them is from another region. The clans are not originally from sinnoh after all. They settled there to worship the respective sinnohs.
@@gilldominicmendoza5202 There is a theory that I think is true that the Diamond clan has predominant ancestors to Sinnoh characters and the Pearl clan has predominant ancestors to non-Sinnoh characters. Seems to be true for a majority of them.
many of them aren't from hisui, they even mention that they are JUST settling there. Thats why there's only a handful of small settlements for the clans and the one town in the entire region. Very few people in the game are actually from this region and they others moved from other places such as unova, galar and kanto.
Given how Arceus, who is technically the progenitor of all pokemon, basically originates there, I'm not surprised.
Pretty sure the clans and the guild are Hisui originals, and the team folks are explicitly new settlers.
I love that Charm is a ancestor to both Bertha and Agatha, using ground and ghost pokemon Rhydon and Gengar. So from a lore standpoint, them being practically twins can now be found in a potential common ancestor
Also about Adaman being Prof. Sycamore's ancestor, while i did see that too, i also thought that Palina (Arcanine's Warden) was his ancestor, as their hair more more closely matched. When i looked a bit further, i think Adaman might be related to Acerola, as they both have a similar hairstyle and they both had a similar hands-on-hip stance.
It's entirely possible that some characters are ancestors to more than one character. Some characters might be distantly related that we would've never known otherwise.
*ancestor
@@gamertwo6263 funny enough, I thought I corrected that before I originally posted it. I remember noting to change "descendant" to "ancestor" and I guess I just lost the thought along the way. I've fixed it now, thanks for letting me know.
Palina looks closer to Professor Magnolia and Sonia imo.
Also because of their names (Agatha is Kikuko and Bertha is Kikuno in Japanese, A and B....) the theory that they are related is apparently not new^^
ADAMAN is deff related to ACEROLA !!!
Glad to see I'm not the only one who immediately made the connection between Arezu, Bren and Coin being the ancestors of the Team Galactic commanders. Honestly my favorite Sinnoh reference in the entire game.
I mean, those are some of the most obvious ones.
A rezu
B ren
C oin
Idk if they did this on purpose too or not but I find it cool
I'm not sold on Bren being Jupiter's ancestor. The reason being that all of the female security corp members have the same design as Bren.
Those are pretty obvious, I don't know how folks wouldn't notice that immediately
The little sister looks like the snowpoint city gym leaders ancestor.
This also shows the Galaxy team once stood as a beacon of indifferent striving to a better tomorrow through cooperation.
If Cyllene knew what her descendant would turn it into, shed balk in shame...
I actually want Adaman and Irida ended up being together and their descendant is Barry. Irida official concept art resembles Barry's in Platinum, they both have closed mouth angry face + both closed hand fist while personality wise, Both Barry and Adaman are impatient and don't waste their time, both also have brown eyes. It also makes sense that in modern Sinnoh, Barry is the one who guides you on the statue of Eterna City which is the combination of Palkia and Dialga.
Oh damn this theory is so nice
These two clan leaders screams Barry when they are together.
Adaman resembles a lo like Acerola in concept (your theory is really good)
They are going to make a DLC for the game in April that will include Barry’s and Palmer’s Ancestor and also include Either Looker or his ancestor
oh wow that makes so much sense???
I like how they're taking inspiration from every Pokemon game and not just diamond and pearl.
I'm pretty sure Pesselle is Nurse Joy and I love that. Such a cute detail, would have been cute if she'd have you bring her a Blissey or Chansey as a request.
100 of that leek was hard enough but I consider it as fair, because we get free heal at any other game from her ancestors! :)
I have strong doubts about Adaman and Irida being ancestors to characters we currently know-the precedent is a much stronger resemblance than that. And, like another commenter said, Charm is a “common ancestor” to Bertha and Agatha. I also am not totally convinced on Laventon though I think it’s definitely plausible.
(Also, Bren is just the generic design… is Jupiter descended from all the galaxy team girls?)
Laventon is definitely Hop's ancestors
- Same skin color and a few, less noticable physical similarities
- Talks in English, implying he's either from Unova or Galar
- There are Copperajahs in his homeland
While I agree Jupiter is a real stretch, technically, yes, they could all be her ancestors. Depends on how many generations of intermingling families you go. But nah, most likely, probably not.
@@epsilon795 Copperjah: They came over from another region long ago and worked together with humans. Their green skin is resistant to water.
So, if his homeland is where Copperjah is... Does that mean we're getting a whole new region probably based on India or something?🙀
Because, that's the Galar decision entry
Maybe irida is Mays ancrstor?
oh wait this blew up huh
Anthe seemed so familiar, but then I immediately recognized her descendant. Also, I'm glad they are intertwining the history of past and present. The history and culture of Pokemon are becoming richer and I love that.
I was hoping we'd get a super secret boss with Red's ancestor.
or an Oak ancestor
Or Ash Ancestor 🥲
@@musictime6717 Ash is another universe
Now after Pokemon Masters Ash is not another universe
Or just Red himself.
Thank you for agreeing that Laventon is related to Leon and Hop ! I was told "No this is dumb" but I noticed the details like purple color, tanned skin and light lines on black cloth ... Plus he speaks some English words in the French version of the game I played, English in Pokemon => Galar !
It is still dumb because Laventon isn't even the only dark-skinned Galarian character in Legends. Floaro is the other named one I can think of, and there are a few more.
I love how the characters’ ancestors are completely different from their descendants
Ginter looks more like Professor Birch, and Charm looks like both Bertha AND Agatha from the Kanto Elite Four. Also, if you think about it, she use a Rhydon AND a Gengar, which both Agatha and Bertha are known users of. I mean, Bertha uses Rhyperior, not Rhydon, but it still fits. Wouldn't surprise me if Agatha and Bertha are sisters as well.
He just has a beard.
Ginter literally looks identical to Volkner.
Ginter is literally older volkner how is he birch's ancestor lmfao, and it was already implied that both bertha and agatha had ties to each other
ginter is literraly the ancestor of volkner since he even has volkner official siting pose!
Professor Birch is a literal who
Nah ginster is basically volkner. I mean, the pose, the attitude, all of it just screams volkner
I think Laventon could also be Hapu’s ancestor, they both have purple hats/headdresses, and Laventon has mentioned Alola
I think that actually Laventon Is Hapu ancestor
NAH ITS YA BOI HOP
He mentioned Alola cause he visited it to get rowlet. He's very clearly from Galar.
He mentions that something reminds him of the Copperajah of his homeland, so Laventon is either from Galar or from a new region. Gen 9 might be inspired by India.
Lets just say that Prof. Laventon was from gen 9 region,met someone in Alola and his child or grand child go to galar
I love how all the ancestors look cool and their descendants made something of themselves and then we got Wally.
Don't knock Wally man. Sure, he starts off as a wimp but towards the end of his game he grew to be a great trainer.
Lmao, but he did bounce back at the end though. I'd say his final ORAS team is the toughest to beat out of all rivals at its time.
Don’t you diss Wally like that
Made something of themselves? Are you including the ones that became CRIMINALS?
@@dedsecturbotowns6069 Tbf I’m pretty sure you can safely say you made It In life If you have a secret base built Inside a mountain.
Sanqua is definitely an ancestor of Karen, seeing as the eevee in the room she is in turns into an Umbreon, Karen's main dark type pokemon.
You forgot to include Agatha with Charm, as she's also implied to be connected to her too.

Lol, Cynthia's ancestor were the villain merchant Volo and Cogita.

Was it even confirmed that Laventon is their ancestor?
@@ipiinsih3655 pretty much. In one of the dex entries narrated by him he says that in his homeland there are Copperajah iirc, so he probably comes from Galar, and he also uses some british expressions like "Jolly good"

So you're telling me that the Professor was Hop and Leon's ancestor all along? How did I not notice that 🗿
I knew something about the prof was irritating
@@ArchangelRG09 Yeah that makes a lot of sense now that you mentioned it. I hated Hop with a passion and I disliked Laventon a lot as well. No wonder they’re related.
@@anser6500 hop ok sure (I think he’s a far better rival than asshole edgelords like Blue, silver and bede but sure) but laventon being nice to you is kind of the main point of a professor and reminder he’s the main reason you could even enter the galaxy group and live in the town because if he didn’t believe in you, you’d be left to die in the wild
I thought it was birch’s ancestor
While every other character is an ancestor
Ingo is just existing as himself with the gift of amnesia
Sucks that he doesnt remember his own brother emmet
Isn't the player character literally the gen 4 protagonist?
yeah but whoever you don't choose, aka your rival, would have to be the ancestor
Maybe the son / dawter of gen 4 Dawn and Lucas couple
@Ash no. Lucas JP name is Koki. Not Rei. Also Dawn JP name is Hikari not Akari
Yes
@Ash which means rei and akari ARE NOT dawn and lucas
I somewhat disagree with Charm's descendant. It says she's from Kanto, and she even has a Gengar, so i find it more fitting for it to be Agatha
Charm is the common ancestor of both of them
She also has a Rhydon. Like Bertha's Rhyperior
It’s also stated that Bertha and Agatha have ties to each other could be sisters or relatives
Agatha and Bertha are sisters
Charm basically confirms the theory that Agatha and Bertha are related.
Okay, not all of them are obvious, but not all of those characters are based on another character in the series. Some of them were downright wrong and too original to be an ancestors.
I always thought that maybe Adaman and irida are the ancestor’s to Barry or either they are entirely new characters. Jupiter doesn’t make sense as all the female guards look the same.
Laventon, Adaman and Irida are very large stretch, also you forgot Agatha for Charm, as she basically is direct confirmation of Agatha and Bertha being related, theory that has been teased for years now. Also you forgot Alder's grandson.
Personally I think they picked few characters to just be original characters.
Laventon
Adaman and Irida
Iscan and Palina
Melli and Calaba
All the other designs and naming conventions are extremely on the nose - having convoluted choices like these don't make sense.

I think that the player is Lucas/Dawn brought from the future. That would make Rei Dawn's ancestor and Akari Lucas' ancestor, and not the other way around.
Or both of them get together and become Lucas/Dawn's ancestor.
It's either
A. The non protag becomes the ancestor for the same non protag due to the fact that every game is its own universe and the universe changes depending on what gender you pick and its the same for who the protag and non protag is related to.
B. It's some back to the future type shit and protag becomes their own ancestor
C. The protag and non protag becomes eachothers ancestors. Or
D. Both protag and non protag are the ancestors for dp protag and non protag but the family tree spilts way before dp
I personally like B because it's wacky and protag seems to be stranded in hisui.
I love how your ancestor hates you at first
Which ancestor?
Tbf most people didn’t like you at first
I always think with Laventon that he's the ancestor to both Chairman Rose and Peony I kinda get the friendly dad like vibe from him that Peony gave me as well as Peony's love of pokemon and Rose's love of history
I like how a lot of the connections aren’t just in physical appearance but body language too.
Some of these I buy, but some are a stretch. Like the previous Pearl and Diamond clan leaders. As well as Iridia and Adaman being related to May and Sycamore.
Agreed
I think they are both related to Barry ...
Spoiler Alert:
I think that Volo is actually an ancestor of Lusamine rather than Cynthia. Although Volo's hairstyle matches Cynthia's, his development over the game and into the post-game matches Lusamine: although both characters initally appear to be allies to the player, both end up turning against them to achieve their own personal goals, and both of them see Pokémon as objects rather than equals. Lusamine also has long blond hair and has it cover one of her eyes, though it covers the opposite eye. It's also worth noting that both characters' plots involving using a Pokémon from another world to interact with another Pokémon from a different world, Volo using Giratina to attempt to defeat Arceus, and Lusamine using Nebby (Cosmog/Cosmoem) to communicate with Nihilego.
He literally has Cynthia’s theme
@@sahilhakim4577 And her team too
Volo could be both
In the end, Cynthia and Lusamine are quite similar, so i wont be shocked if they were like distant relatives y'know? Maybe they are both related to Volo.
They make it literally too obvious for him not to be her ancestor
Riddler said Charm is an ancestor for both Bertha and Agatha which makes sense because of Rhyperior and Gengar on her team.
Some of these are straight up genderbent versions of their descendants
Looking at you Cyrus Darach Flint Gardenia

Just realised this, Team Magma's Maxie is one that looks at progress which the diamond clan and time focus on, while Archie believes in nature's preservation and Pearl clan believing in maintaining the old ways and respecting them so fitting their ancestors are in those clans.
There is also the fact that Dialga and Palkia apart from Time and Space, also represent the states of matter.
Dialga is solid(hence the Steel type), and Palkia is liquid(hence the water type).

I think the protagonists are still Lucas/Dawn... They just met Akari/Rei who is the unchosen protagonist's ancestor
Akari/Rei are not the unchosen character's ancestor. They are YOUR ancestors
Nah, they're both ancestors. Yes, the player is Lucas/Dawn but given how both can be potential ancestors since IIRC there is no confirmation as to who got sent into time (though I say it should be Lucas) and the fact that both Rei and Akari are their confirmed names even with the time stuff, I still think they are their ancestors but one is from a more modern time.
Laventon almost looks like professor birch in omega ruby and alpha sapphire.
That volkner can't stand up bro even his ancestor is always sitting down
I like how some random NPCs are ancestors to important characters in the future
Facts: in Greek mythology, Ares is the Greek god of war.
Now before you say Athena, she's also the goddess of war, but she represents the honorable aspects of war.
Ares is the bloodthirsty, malevolent god of war. Slaughter, genocide, etc.
In Rome, his equivalent is Mars.
So name wise, "arezu" would relate to Mars.

I was convinced that Beni was the ancestor of the elite 4 Aaron, since we met him early game and I was still under the assumption that everyone was going to be from Sinnoh at that point. I was a bit surprised that he had no bug Pokémon, and I feel dumb I didn’t make the Wally connection when he sent out Gallade/Gardevoir
And his hair and eye color plus if you talk to him post game he says stuff about disliking and getting to old for the cold climate and thinking about moving to warmer place which the gen 3 region is clearly warm and is based on a warmer climate southern island region of Japan

@@barbiana1802 that what i said depending on the gender you choose one of them may not be from hisui
@@barbiana1802 actually no it's not the gen 4 protag ancestor, though it IS a protag ancestor (there are also alot of ingame hints towards their ancestory)
@@barbiana1802 ye thats what im trying to say XD
Beni works (or owns?) the Wallflower
Beni is Wally's ancestor
WALLflower = WALLy
It's the subtle hints for me.
