If you could know the answer to one of these mysteries, which one would it be? And what do you think the answer is? 🤔

Actually I believe I have a answer to the whole Melmetal turning to gold thing. Melmetal is comprised of liquid mercury and when mercury is exposed to high levels of radiation it changes at the atomic level turning it to gold. This happens in nature a lot, and would mean that Melmetal’s changes in Cerulean Cave would mean that the crystals there are heavily radioactive. Update: In 1941 a test to synthesize gold from mercury was done and it was a success. It was achieved by bombarding the mercury with neutrons; however, the gold created couldn’t be used as it was heavily radioactive.

who else feels old when hearing pokémon X&Y came out almost 10 years ago?

I always thought the note in the train station was for the ghost girl when she was alive. She waited in the “usual place” which was the ghost girl floor, until she died. The person never returned with help and she’s still waiting. You enter and she thinks you’re her friend for a moment, but no, you’re not the one.

The placements of the Odd Keystone in the games tend to be in reference to the locations of real-world tragedies that have occurred. Quite possibly as a sign of respect for the lost souls of innocent people. Eg. Given that Twinleaf Town is in one of the most Southern areas of Sinnoh, it could have been the first area of Hokkaido that was invaded & colonised by Japanese settlers, where genocide first occurred in Hokkaido.

My guess would be that the X/Y Mysteries were supposed to be sidequests for Looker and Emma. He is a private investigator/secret agent after all and Emma, with her psychic cat Espurr is kinda a medium. So it wouldnt be to hard to imagine you, the player, being sent on a couple of Quests by Looker (maybe accompabied by Emma) to try and find information on Xerosic and solving some random cases. These were likely abbandoned during development, but Gamefreak didnt remove every hint or Event afterwards.

My theory on Calyrex is that they're purifying Eternatus' power, making it so they can't be be made to rampage while dynamaxed.

With the ghost girl in Lumiose city, almost everyone seems to miss that there's a Hex Maniac (the same sprite as the "ghost girl") elsewhere in the game who's listening to an elevator for no explained reason. The "ghost girl" spawns near an elevator. I think the ghost girl is just the Hex Maniac astral projecting, although it still never explains why. The other thing people miss with that is the games pretty much always have unexplained ghost activity in them. "That hand on your shoulder..." from gen 1!

Calyrex's blue aura has a cool meaning behind it. In the past, true king's royal blood was believed to be blue. The color blue actually has always been associated with kings.

I mean…ghosts have been a part of the series since DPPt, not since X and Y. The first ghosts were the little girl in the Old Chateau and the butler. Then, there’s the ghost on Route 217 in Sinnoh, and a ghost girl in Unova on the Marvelous Bridge and at Strange House. The mystery of _this_ ghost girl mostly came about because a Hex Girl with the exact same dialogue appeared in Mt Pyre in ORAS, and people assumed her to be part of an event.

My best assumption about the Odd Keystone in Twinleaf Town is simply this is where Akari/Rei ended up settling down after the events of Legends Arceus and it is simply the keystone that was tied to the Spiritomb they had obtained while making the pokedex. Biggest justification I have to this is the fact Akari/Rei resemble Dawn/Lucas and the Azure Flute in BDSP was available only after completing the pokedex in Legends Arceus.

Actually you do see the ghost girl again. In the hotel after the encounter, if you speak to her she says "Shhh. I can't hear the elevator." After that she seems to vanish. I think the note is tied to the ghost girl and the usual place is either the building we find her in, or the hotel. Perhaps she was the one in danger, but the person never came back and she died, thus she's now made to haunt that building and the hotel, waiting on "The one" who was supposed to get her help.

Man, all this time, since I was younger and got Diamond and Pearl and eventually Platinum when they all came out, I’ve spent countless hours in those games and done so much from first discovery and had those same files for years. All the times I’ve played it and done all kinds of stuff on ANY of those games at ANY time, I NEVER knew the odd keystone was in twin leaf in that little pond. I can not believe that haha. That was a cool fact. Caught me by surprise for sure!

Hopefully we’ll finally find out the ghost girls origins 20 years from now in “Pokémon legends Hoopa” 😂

Absolutely funny to think that Calyrex could be the clean energy source Rose was looking for and his brother stumbled on it by using a rock as a pillow

Dude. I had never heard about that Infinity energy harvesting before. That’s SO dark

The mystery still linger in my mind, especially with the "you're not the one"

I wonder if we'll get a 2nd part of the "meet in the usual place" one in scarlet and violet, since Paldea should be right next to Kalos, and that note is found in a train station. I mean, I doubt it, but also, the big crater in the middle could be where the ultimate weapon landed and is why the gimmick is a crystal formation over pokemon (since the weapon is also linked to/made of crystals) and therefor have tons of links to x/y.

Gotta just hope for a remake of X/Y that will include more story content. ( TT ----TT )

The biggest secret I'd like answered is who were the people who make up Spiritomb and what did they do to be trapped in the first place; all we have is one side's story but who's to say they said what they wanted to be told so they could be seen as in the right. In Legends we meet one of the souls and she's a child: what could a child have possibly done to be punished like that and who's to say more children aren't more souls that make up Spiritomb. For all we know the people who make up Spiritomb were just victims who others wanted to get rid of because they had something others wanted or just wanted to get rid of without getting their hands dirty. After all people can be cruel.

My theory for Calyrex is that the red aura represents the blood of the Pokemon, and since historically, people have thought that royals have blue blood, with Calyrex being the king Pokemon, it only makes sense that his dynamax aura would be blue to show his blood.

2:46 I think there is a reason for the "color change". You can see it do it when you are under a light source. 6:51 When it comes to ghost kids. It goes farther back to the Old Chateau in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.

Regarding the ghost girl and the note in X and y, we know for a fact there were at least four different mystery gift Pokemon planned for X and y that were not included until Omega Ruby and alpha Sapphire. Hoopa, Magearna, volcanion, and eternal flower floette. There's also the possibility that they were going to have mega latios, mega latias and zygarde with thousand Waves and thousand arrows. That is seven potential in-game events that they could have released alongside that. They had very similar things happened with diamond, pearl, Platinum black, white, black two, and white two, where there were some things that didn't really make sense until you received the mystery gift Pokemon. Examples being the woman that turns into zoroark, the empty bedroom on Liberty Island, the woman that gives you the Garcia flower, and quite a few others. It is very possible that the ghost girl, the hidden message, along with the three locked locations in the desert, the train stop that seemingly leads out of Kalos, and anything else that just doesn't make sense were all either intended to be part of one of these mystery gifts or even a potential third game in Kalos.

I love Kalos so much and it makes me really sad that there was so much wasted potential. Kalos and X&Y are good games, they just needed more follow up.

I like the stuff you were saying about the ghost girls, however - they’ve been around since gen 4. One little ghost girl was in the mansion in eterna forest you could only see at certain times, and another ghost girl shows up in Black and White 2

Someone already mentioned the mercury reacting to radiation thing for why Melmetal changes colors like that but I think the actual development reason is that the texture messes up when it gets near that little crystal light source and it just changes to match the hex nut

the odd key stone could also relate to jubilife villange from ancient hasui

We actually had a ghost girl in black and white, and black and white 2. She was killed by darkri I believe

I played the original Diamond and Pearl when they were released and I had no idea that you could find the Odd Keystone in Twinleaf Town!? Wow!

What I think is happening with Calyrex is that it is drawing the power of dynamax from Eternatus but is also using its own power to do it has well so it can’t become frenzied like other Pokémon do during Dynamax, Adding the blue glow along with it. Personally I really want to know more about Eternatus. We know it came from space but that’s really about it, it’s it an ultra beast?, relates to Arceus possibly? I remember watching a theory relating Eternatus to being one of the hands of Arceus but got separated. I think that’s really neat! And makes sense for it being closely related to Arceus being so powerful and all! I just want to learn more about my favorite space boi!

The Spiritomb mystery in particular creeps me out. Was someone planning for something horrible to happen in Twinleaf town? Did we thwart it by taking the Odd Keystone away? We may never find out...

There is also a “Hex maniac” in the hotel in Lumios city when interacting with her she will say something like “Be quiet, im listening for the elevator” so it leads me to believe that its connected to the “Ghost girl” in the office, or the more likely one is its the recipient of the train station note.

I’m way more concerned about the fact that I’ve encountered a mass outbreak of Spiritomb in Legends Aceuse now. And released almost all of them back in to the wild.

Oh man legends za has so much potential with these mysteries and other stuff. I cant wait 😭

Surprised you didn't bring it up- but the ghost girl trope didn't start in Gen 6. I'm not sure about Gen 1-3 but Sinnoh had the ghosts (including the girl) at the Old Chateau. Gen 5 has the ghost involved with the Darkrai and Crestelia thing, plus the one at the house near Lentimas town

All the stuff from x and y could sadly just be cut content. Maybe when we reach the remakes we can get more answers

Technically the ghosts started in Gen 4. The old mansion in Eterna Forest has a ghost as does that one bridge in Black and White. XY was just when people started realizing it more.

I’ve always speculated that the note could have foreshadowed the looker mission like maybe it was a conversation between Emma and looker before she goes to work for him

Maybe the Ghost Girl was a victim of the Ultimate Weapon and the "One" she's referring to is AZ.

anyone else here after Pokemon z-a confirmed?

Maybe Meltan and Melmetal are actually ultra beasts that haven't been properly identified? On another note, Ghost Girls have been a thing in pokemon for a LONG TIME, and the ghost girl in Pokemon Black and White 2 even had a story you could uncover.

I've only got a best guess for ghost girl. I think that is works in a similar way to being the "one" like how the old man can sometimes see mirage island in the Hoenn games, but back end programming would need to be checked. I think either it's to do with the girl picking a series of numbers or a secret ID of the trainer and if it matches, then you are "the one", or it is based on a member of the party matching those numbers, and they are "the one". Best guess is that this changes to a random series of numbers every day... Or no one is the one and its just a stunt pulled by the Pokemon company.

the ghost girl trend started in bw2 with the strange house outside of lentimas town that gives you the lunar wing. also theres an argument to be made for dppt's old chateau where you can see people in the adjacent rooms

I always thought the secret note was a nod to kingdom hearts 2, where the station also had some significance to the story also the train station looks a bit similar to the one in KDH2, the usual spot/place was the backally hideout of roxas and friends 😅

We might find out more hints to the secret mystery in an XY remake in a future gen. A gen to not only to bring back these secrets and might even explain some, but a gen to also bring back Mega Evolutions! And maybe this time, making it to stay!

X and Y are due for remakes. Furthermore, Paldea seems to bump up against Kalos. Maybe we’ll get a side quest this time around. I personally think the Ghost Girl was who the note was written to/for. The “one” she is looking for is the person she should meet. The location is the usual spot.

Woah, that's freaky with Melmetal changing colour! Also the thing with Calyrex... While it doesn't explain anything, Calyrex is supposed to have protected a lot of Pokémon from a meteorite, yes? Could that have been Eternatus' arrival in Galar? Maybe being so close to it when it arrived altered it somehow. :O

And the connections between the 108 ghosts that Hisuian Typhlosion controls and its extinction and then came Spiritomb with 108 ghosts trapped inside him... also H.Typh purifies ghosts and in Legends Arceus there's a giant Odd Keystone, is that relate in some way? Because is so specific.

Watching old vids, 11:09 needs to be re-evaluated now that there's a new Kalos game announced.

Black & White and Black 2 & White 2 had a ghost girl before X & Y. BW in the Marvelous Bridge and B2W2 in the Strange House. So if anything the trend of having one in every following gen started with Gen 5. But even then Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum also had a ghost girl in the Old Chateau.

With the announcement of legends AZ and themed around France Industry revolution period, perhaps Meltan/Melmetal lore could be explored more there?

Biggest mystery in pokemon history, How professor oak can somehow tell the player wherever they are on the arceus forsaken earth when they can't use their bike

I think that Ghost girl event and Lumiouse Station billboard note event are related in some way or another. From my thinking:- The ghost girl(when she was alive)and her friend or someone with her were traveling to somewhere from Lumiouse Station and they were separated due some incident and the one with the ghost girl writes a note on the back of the billboard hoping the ghost girl will read it and come to their usual place which was the hotel's 2nd floor and then the one waited for ghost girl in the hotel but she never came when ghost girl was dead, she has eventually read the note and wait for 'The one' for years logically haunting the 2nd floor. Just a theory!?😑

Meltan and melmetal both say region ’Unknown’ in PokemonGo… so the theory of it being from our world kinda makes sense 😅

Neat analysis video! Thanks for uploading!

I've always wondered if the Lumiose Ghost Girl had to do with a specific Trainer ID/Secret ID combination, and just no one has ever had the correct ten-digit identifier to trigger the event.

I wonder if the Odd Keystone in Twinleaf has to do with Mesprit and the lake. It's nearby, and it contains a very powerful Pokemon, who is not only discussed in myths for ages, but also known as the "Being of Emotion." It could have been that someone was trying to harvest Mesprit and/or the entire Lake Trio into this Odd Keystone, either hoping to gain control over humans through eliminating what amounts to their personalities, emotion, willpower, and finally knowledge, to create a region of mind-controlled slaves, or it could be connected to the one at Sea Mauville, in the "Infinity Energy" schemes, because the Lake Trio are very powerful Pokemon. Whoever tried clearly failed, and fled south to Twinleaf, hiding away the evidence before either escaping or possibly being taken down by Mesprit and its army of Bidoof. It's kind of a shame we didn't get more answers to Sinnoh mysteries in Legends Arceus. I feel like the Legends could very easily become a successful series because fans love the concept of visiting their favorite regions in different time periods. A big part of that is the chance to both answer questions about the main series games, and to raise more. It might even be interesting for them to expand the idea and run a Legends game set in Kalos set a much shorter time in the past, where they could answer some of those questions. There's nothing that says the games MUST be the same formula as Arceus; Pokemon tweaks their "formula" with each new main series release, so why not with Legends? Maybe a dozen years ago, maybe more, Kalos stands more or less how it does in XY, but the player character is able to change the outcome of certain events and trigger new circumstances. They could meet Sycamore as a kid, maybe even as their rival or a helpful NPC. They could be "the right one" for the ghost girl, maybe even save her. They could find the message at the train station, perhaps "the usual place" is that room and the ghost girl was wounded or ill and PC is able to save her in time. The player could save some people, like her, yet also be in some way involved in whatever brings about the game's climax. The events could shape the mind of a young Lysander and sway him to make different choices when he grows up.. GameFreak, if you see this and like the idea, before you just steal it please reach out cause I could write a whole game's story on the mysteries of the Kalos region!

There's a mystery attached to every Spiritomb that exists in the main series. Including Cynthia's, especially with how in the original DPPt games, it has a unique sprite lacking the Odd Keystone.

About the odd keystone I have not searched it in the Twinleaf town rather a psychic outside of Hearthome city gave it to me...He then told me to go to some nearby route and probably place that keystone in the rock...I don't remember but you can check it out...

I’m super curious about the ghost girl and that note! I hope that we can get some answers soon! Plus, the stories on Spiritoom is so creepy.

The UB from Pokemon S/M and US/UM are still unexplained and frankly why haven't we gotten a cool sci fi game with Looker as the professer giving you a UB Starter.

There's another Hex Maniac//it might be the same one. In XY, in a different Town(?) who, when you speak to her, will tell you to be quiet, she's trying to listen for the elevator. And the Ghost Girl you talked about is found at the elevator

With the ghost girl, I can only imagine out of all the x and y games sold there are maybe 2 Cartridges that would have said, “you are the one” or something like that for each respective version, and they were destined to battle each other at a certain time to prove who is better, but this is me just making a random theory that’s probably not true

Wow every thing you post is awsome

The same ghost girl can be seen in the ghost tower thing before the safari zone in omega ruby/ alpha sapphire.

I always wondered if the ghost girl was actually checking for a secret ID in the game and someone out there actually has a save file that triggers something Probably some random 5 year old that didn't even know the difference

@Hoopsandhiphop @2:56 it’s a reference to the regi-trio Turns brown/gold in reference to Regirock, despite normally being Grey/metal to symbolize Registeel, while next to the blue/icy crystals that symbolize Regice.

In the clips with melmetal changing color, it only does so when it steps onto the lights beaming onto the floor. Thus, an obvious conclusion: It's a dang lighting error.

Calyrex uses it's own energy to Dynamax instead of drawing in energy like other Pokémon.

Y'all think we'll get the origin of the ghost girl in pokemon legends Z?

As Colors in Pokémon most time correlate to types, maybe melmetal changing Color’s near Christals is pokemon’s way of foreshadowing terastalizing in gen 9 (very, extremely unlikely but still who knows)

The Ghost Girl + “wait in the usual place” feels like a scrapped Quest, possibly even for a Scrapped Halloween Event

The biggest mystery of Pokémon: why Dunsparce is not a Dragon type

Maybe someone hid the off keystone in twin leaf to protect it from getting in the wrong hands Like how in some movies a hero hides a special artifact with unimaginable power that could create or destroy and is hidden in safe keeping to keep it from the wrong hands maybe it’s like that

The ghost girl has been a thing for way longer than X/Y. In DPPt, you have the little ghost girl in Old Chateau and Route 217. And in B/W on the Marvelous Bridge. Also the text behind the board is part of the Looker and Emma sidequest iirc.

Calyrex having a blue aura was really interesting to see back then a few years ago! Maybe he actually is able to generate and use dynamax energy without Eternatus' help, kinda like how Solagleo, Lunala and Necrozma can all generate ultra wormholes although they are different pokemon. Perhaps that's something we'll find out about in a legends galar game many years down the line.

Calyrex breaking the horses makes me think that Calyrex might have ties to breaking in the Tauros (bullfighting) in the region based on Spain ( which might explains it's various forms).

Maybe when the time comes for the remakes of X and Y, we could get answers to both the ghost girl and that note?

I love these types of videos ❤

Hear me out....Melmetal is a paradox form of Gholdengo. Also how interesting, I wonder if the note in Lumiose Station will now be answered with the new Pokemon Legends game coming out!

Z-a might have the answer to the ghost girl

I’ve always assumed the reason Calyrex glows blue is that it doesn’t need to technically rely on Eternatus’ power. The band may allow it to Dynamax, but it doesn’t actually need to use any of the ‘Dynamax energy’ itself. Or it’s just using its psychic power to create an astral form maybe?

Maybe we'll find out who "the one" is in Gen 12. If current trends persist, that will bring Gen 6 remakes. With the exception of FRLG, each remake was brought out in Generation G*2, where G is the original Generation's number. HGSS was Gen 4, ORAS was Gen 6, BDSP was Gen 8. FRLG were made due to backwards compatibility with GSC not being a thing in RSE. Also, why does the guy West of Hearthome City have an Odd Keystone?

I have a theory about the Lumiose city mysteries, "the one" is the person who wrote the note but they were too late and that is why the ghost girl is a ghost. I think that the elevator is the "usual spot" and that is why she waits there for the one and leaves when it isn't the right person. Its possible she is vengeful towards the one who took too long.

The note behind the time table is linked to the ghost girl. She was waiting from the note writer in that building the reason she said your not the one is because she's waiting for her friend. I assume they were being hunted down by unknown assailants and both were killed before they could meet up.

I think that the "who is the one?" question is kinda wrong. We should be asking, "why aren't we the one?" If we assume that no character that appeared as of gen 6 is the one, we could look in all that they have in common and figure out at least the criteria for *not* being the one

I personally believe that Meltan & Melmetal are from Kanto. It makes the most sense honestly. It was the first mainline game they were in (GO does not count in any way, shape, or form) and they are the only Pokémon that weren’t from generation 1 to be in Let’s Go Pikachu/Eevee.

1:45 i do love looking out my window to see meltan and melmetals outside

I am surprised you didn't mention how Gigantamax Melmetal is also the Abbas Giant in Sword and Shield.

What if Melmetal changing colors means it’s from Johto? It’s right next to Kanto where it randomly appeared, it’s color changes from silver to gold, and it would make sense that Let’s Go Johto would be the next games in the series. Also Johto doesn’t have any steel type legendaries

I really thought the ghost girl from Lumiose was leading to something when she reappeared in Mt. Pyre saying the same thing in ORAS. I'm still a bit disappointed she wasn't looking for a Trainer with Hoopa or Marshadow (if she had reappeared in Sun and Moon as well) or something.

In regards to Kalos. I would love a Pokémon Horror game that forces you to try and solve mysteries about dead humans or Pokémon that have turned into ghost types

Pokemon z is now out (hooray) so what if they actually answer some of the questions from the ghost girl and note from xy

Just replayed xy for the first time in years, never knew about the text behind the train schedule!

the odd keystone also appears in legends arceus, given by "vessa" (sounds a lot like "vessel"...), and the description of the item reads as "A mysterious stone that can be used to collect wisps that glow with an eerie purple light." but instead of collecting 108 wisps, she tells us to collect 107, and they are vastly spread throughout the whole playable world .. "vessa" is definetly implied to be the last spirit to be put into the odd keystone, making it 108.. but then where would it go after all those years to be found in games that took place long after the hisuian era ?? reading the whole descriptions of the request given by her and then the steps AFTER collecting the 107 wisps is insane- i definetly recommend looking up online vessa from legends arceus and her request bc its so cool to look into !!

Thanks for reminding me to pickup that odd keystone I forgot about it

Nice vid! Also I think you sound like poketips mike

3:38 Yes we did. It Dynamaxes under its own power, hence the blue aura. It doesn’t use the purple energy left behind by Eternatus like all other Pokémon do

Pretty sure rayquaza texhnically does mega evolve with a mega stone, since it ate its own mega stone. Not 100% sure but vaguely remember it being like that.

11:58 Well then time to make my own D.I.Y Spiritomb! And then try and shiny hunt it!
