Gen 8 was a let down for me because it hardly digged into its own lore but Scarlet and violet really has some of the most interesting lore in Pokemon history and we've barely just scratched the surface of it! At least until potential DLC comes out to flesh it out more hopefully!

Bro as SOON as I stepped foot into the "Time Machine" and seen the hexagonal patterns, the first thing that came to mi d was "This is inside the legendary. Or at least made from it."

It could explain why the AI (which contains all the professors memories) is surprised about the Paradise Protection Protocol. Because it isn't something the professor implemented but rather the legendary itself trying to stop us.

I swear nobody's talking about the fact that at least some of the Paradox pokemon are based on pokemon that don't exist in the modern era of the same version under normal conditions. Tyranitar/Hydreigon are Scarlet exclusives, yet Iron Thorns/Iron Jugulus appear in Violet; the same applies to Flutter Mane/Roaring Moon (Scarlet) and Misdreavus/Salemence (Violet). It might not seem like a particularly big detail but that alone could be taken to imply that there's more than just time travel occurring.

It can’t be a coincidence that the battle cry of Glimmora is very similar to then noise our tera orbs make when we terrastallize our Pokémon

The "born from thought" isn't ruled out like you said. Both heath and the professor met a strange being that inspired them/gave them equations to build a 'time machine' Aka the legendary chooses who it affects in such an intense way. It brings a person's subconscious thoughts into reality by giving them a means of 'logically' reaching them. Like heath seeing paradox mon by traveling into the dangerous area zero. Or how the professor had to build a machine to justify the illogical nature of area zero, to grant the wish of seeing paradox pokemon. It's like an eldritch being/cosmic horror/SCP that merges imagination with reality the deeper you go into area zero. Like jiratchi's powers, but running on subconscious thoughts instead of explicitly vocal wishes. In fact, your "if you speak its name" idea only fits a cosmic horror even more. Names have power in cosmic horror and fairytales/fae creatures. Fun video though! I enjoy your videos, they are good ideas and ponderings.

I sorta like the idea that the PokeBall lock system is what that world's law enforcement uses because evil teams were using pokemon so often and that's why so many of the last few evil teams weren't really that big of a real threat if any threat at all It sorta also answers the common question of "why don't the evil bosses just level the pokemon up to 100 with rare candies and just rule the world that way"

I wonder how much of Area Zero we can explore in the games. Because I'm 99% sure that the area we explore isn't the full size of the crater, so the disk Pokemon could either be deep in the crater, where erosion has covered it up, or it could be everywhere but nowhere, like you can't see it, but it could appear at any moment

Glimmora looks way to much like the ultimate weapon to be merely a coincidence

One other thing that bothered me in the game was Nemona was always going to the gyms and challenging them herself while you are also doing the gym challenge... even though she is already a champion level trainer which means that she has already beaten the gym challenge before. She would have already had to have beaten each gym and gotten all 8 badges in order to beat the elite four and become champion, so why would she need to go through the challenge again and why does she act like she is going through the challenge for the first time as we are going through it. Saying things like "I gotta go make sure my pokemon are a good match for the gym." And such, if she has already gotten all 8 badges. Also as you go through the game you face "students" who are young and old, you would think that there would be an age limit for the academy. When does one graduate from the academy? When one becomes the best that they can? If so wouldn't Nemona already be qualified to graduate and would have been a better fit to be in an apprentice like position under Geeta since neither the academy nor the elite 4 seem to have age restrictions, since one elite 4 is a kid and there are students who appear to be adults and some are elderly. The academy seems to open up more questions than answers since it doesn't seem to run like a normal academy...

The fact that Geeta who is the only trainer who has a Glimmora, might have also been involved to Area Zero and the third legendary.

The only requirement for the TM Terra blast is glimmet crystal so there has to be a connection between it, the 3rd legendary, and tera

What if Sara/Turo sent a Paradox Pokemon there by mistake making a boot strap paradox. They tried to bring a Paradox Pokemon to them but it got sent to Heaths expedition by mistake. Heaths sees the Pokemon and writes about it ,thus leading them to build the time machine which leads to them loosing it earlier in the timeline closing the loop.

Another great video. When you were saying the Disk pokemon can see into the past/future and probably psychic, it really sounds like a super powered Xatu. Tne Disk being a sort of organic 3d printer makes so much sense

Glimmora originated from the crater and then their base form (which are spores) leave the crater through cavities and spawn around Paldea.

When I first saw the picture of the disk pokemon, and how it has hexagon mirrors, I thought about a Space Probe. After listening to the video, usually space probes observes space from a distance and projects images of stars' light that are in the past and we are peering from the future or vice-versa where the stars peer at earth from the future & the earth is in the past, which is space-time. So maybe since Dialga domains Time, Palkia domains Space/ Dimensions and "Disk" manipulates Space-Time, which is the union of Space & Time and could rival Arceus. If you look at images of light cone graph for space-time, it may look more sense :)

Really weird thought, but since he said the time machine is a one way trip, the first thing that comes to mind is that since this Pokémon might be able to interact with time in space, it could be sending the poke balls back in time or forward in time and that’s how they make a trip.

Little hypothesis of mine, but what if the phenomenon of "terastallizing" has the word at least partially derive from the third legendary, maybe something like, "Teraidon" ? Edit: just looked up at what "terai" 's japanese name so: Definition of 衒い (てらい) 衒い てらい terai Details noun • affectation, pretension Related Kanji 衒show off, display, pretend I would like to point out the related kanji part: "pretend, display, show off" which reinforces the theory that the disk pokemon indeed brings things to life from immagination, wishes, things that are made up. I just find that really interesting

I think the third legendary is going to look something like and be related to glimmora, like a paradox version similar to ko/mryidon and cyclizar which was heaths Pokémon. This fits with something being odd about geeta, her signature Pokémon is glimmora so this seems likely to be relevant.

The disk Pokémon's name has six letters (allusion to an hexagon), so it's name is probably Terast. Perhaps we will finally see the long time overlooked ghost/rock combination. You heard it here first

Theory: I feel like this 3rd legendary has the ability to warp time BUUUUUUT in doing so it gets hurt so it had Heath write down equations on this “Time Machine” so that the 3rd legendary can use a less painful way to use its abilities. Also omg that would be very creepy if the 3rd legendary’s name is like an activation code. This reminds me of a real conspiracy of an activation code (linked with hypnosis) where if you say this certain code (numbers or a certain word) you will be hypnotized. If your hypothesis is correct that if this Pokémon can see into the past and future than we both know this third legendary knows it’s fate… lol. It will fall into the hands of 10 year old dorks…

So the relationship of this Legendary and Glimmora is almost like the relationship of Diancie and Carbink.

I believe the 3rd legendary is an energy based creature that takes on a crystalline physical form due to the disc structure that is advanced alien technology. The crater paradox Pokémon were typical Paldean Pokémon exposed and had their dna altered to express ancient genes or incorporate metal tech. Animals can be considered a paradox too when their bodies have features that don’t match their nature. Glimmora are rocks come to life, in the same way as Carbink and Rolycoly, due to the 3rd legendary powers - glimmora might even be a weaker or individualized part of the 3rd Legendary. I believe Necroza being a light absorbing crystal and Eternatus using energy to warp mass are hints to the nature of the 3rd legendary. People are conversing with the entity but struggle to remember, maybe because they can’t truly comprehend the experience. I think of the shimmer from the annihilation movie.

It seems like the hexagonal shell protecting the legendary IS the tera crystals themselves. To fulfil its needs, they basically grow, like crystal, and creep up until the crystal becomes visible in Area Zero and starts taking over technology and then the research facility, but purposefully leaving a lead way for entrance. I also believe Glimmora is supposed to look similar to the legendary itself. Like how Diancie is a mutated form of Carbink, Glimmora is a mutated, lesser form of the legendary. I give evidence of this based on the face on the crown when Pokemom etrastalize. The closest Pokemom we know to having a similar face IS Glimmora when looked at from a frontal view. I also believe Glimet are created when a Glimmora is destroyed or when small chunks of crystal are removed from the larger crystals. Put the pieces back together, it evolves into Glimmora.

I love these theory videos so much! One thing I’ve really been thinking about is the “trainer battle text” you see while fighting the Paradise Protection Protocol. I can’t help but feel like something is talking through these AI’s, something akin to a program outside of their programming that influences their actions (hence why they’re hostile.) That leads me to believe that we’re being spoken to by the third legendary who may in fact be at the very top of that “Time Machine” essentially throwing the master balls it *creates* for the AI professors to battle us with. I 100% believe we’ve made contact with the 3rd legendary already, as there’s also evidence behind it in tera raid battles where we literally throw our poke balls and they’re encased in the gemlike crystals we see in the tera raid areas/area zero to capture the tera Pokémon. In a sense we’re bringing these Pokémon out from zones not normally in Paldea much like how the AI’s bring out their paradox Pokémon.

I have a bit of a wild theory on area zero. The crater is what happens when a legendary dies. It's strange how the treasures of ruin weren't stopped by a legendary but rather by people. Every region is supposed to have a balancing legendary or trio, but paldea doesn't. The treasures of ruin were not stopped on time because the legendary was dead- killed by the greedy king. Are you familiar with schrodinger's cat? It's in a state between living and death until you open the box. It's a paradox. A paradox pokemon. All records of the legendary were removed because saying its name could bring it back- make it decide whether to be dead or alive. Fitting for a region that introduces a revival move and a pokemon in a box. Even sada and turo were scared of saying the name they found. Area zero's lab zero is the box that remains of the legendary. The cat is nowhere to be found yet. We do know where schrodinger's poison is, though... The professors only found a way to harness the legendary's power of paradox. So, what is keeping people from bringing back the legendary, in fear of it? Glimmora. Glimmora are parasites that keep anyone from bringing it back, as they can only thrive in such places where time, space and causality are broken. They are a literal poison on reality. However, all bad things come with good as well. Beside glimmora are plants that also require broken causality to grow. These are herba mystica.

what would be crazy is if this was a paradox form of another legendary, like celebi (probably not) or zygarde, but you wouldn't know by just looking at it because this one is drastically different

True in the past the time capsule needed the main machine a re-entry point, but the time machine in Paldea must be more advanced & more capable.

I’m a little surprised that we couldn’t see any titan Pokémon inside the crater and natural herba

Pokémon connects to the anunnaki and Atlantis so well

Could this mean, that at the end of the game, we did not simply fight an AI of this "time mashine" but some part of this pokemon?

idk why it's so hard to believe it's time travel. It's just a permanent wormhole, and the time machine is probably more like setting a net in a stream to catch fish. You aren't going after the paradox pokemon... the pokemon are *coming to you*

Who is to say that the Disk Legendary Pokemon didn’t create it’s own Pokemon Professor? That would make a lot more sense to be honest and who better to spread a theory on new Pokémon than a professor? We still don’t know the side effects that Giganticmax, Z Moves, Mega Evolution or Terracrystal have on humans. It has not been looked into and that alone is terrifying! Thank you for your video!

This is one thing I was wondering about is the AI itself previously AI professor said they don’t have the technology to even made an AI robot so where did the professors get the parts to build them? Is the AIs from the future?

I wonder if the third legendary with the time machine was actually bringing paradox pokémon from the multiverse considering the plot of SV parallel eachother from Heath writing two versions of one book, the professors creating their own AI and time machine to the academy having different names and colors depending on the version. Even the professors don't fully utilize the time machine in confirming time travel since it was bringing specific paradox pokemon they wanted, prehistoric for Sada and futuristic for Turo.

Excellent production, my guy. I hope we get more lore in DLC soon.

wait... geeta is connected with glimora, gathering defense mechanisms(strong trainers), and hiding something, that is maybe something to do with the 3rd legendary. is she connected with it somehow

There was an anime two parter called "Deoxys' Crisis" which also featured pokeballs malfunctioning. The reason for this was due to geomagnetic disturbance. This was caused by a meteor carrying a Deoxys to earth. It should also be noted that the metor created an aurora, which is phenomenon related to solar wind. So the precedent for a psychic pokemon being connected to meteors, solar/geomagnetic phenomenon, and causing tech malfunctions is definitely there. I'm not saying it's Deoxys outright, not even necessarily an ancient one. But there are a lot of alien pokemon, the vast majority coming from meteors and/or being psychic type. And it would be pretty naive to assume there couldn't be an alien as strong as Deoxys, especially given time.

When I saw LP & Glimmora were the ingredients to create tera blast tm I knew it was connected. I also think the third legendary allowed Heath to study Area Zero but inwant to know what the motivation was...

So it’s like creating Mewtwo like they did in the first movie. But now a pokemon is doing it in a different way.

19:52 I'm not sure that the letters were deleted by Heath himself, since the only copies of the book we see in the game were both accessible to prof Sada/Turo, I actually think that the hidden message can also be from them.

Watching this makes me wonder just HOW would the Third Legendary have reacted if a Portal to Ultra Space opened up above the Crater and started dumping large amounts of Ultra Beasts into Area Zero?

Crazy thought about the third legendary. The whole reason we've been able to terastallize our pokemon is with the use of the Tera Orb. But in the Area Zero research journals it was written that The 'overlapping hexagonal plates' cause it. If you look in the Tera-Orb, you'd see what looks like a hexagonal plate. And when a pokemon is Terastallized, you'd see a hexagonal gem at the front of the Terastallization hat with eyes. Judging by the fact that the Tera-Orb looks like a pokeball. If taken at face value, then that might be the Tera-Orb's true nature. The Tera-Orb is a pokeball that is designed to capture the Third Legendary's children. Terastal energy charges the pokeball, and by extension, Disk Jr. and when the pokeball is used. It's a pokeball that complements Disk Jr.'s symbiotic abilities by allowing it to Terastalllize the host pokemon.

That legendary is an alien ark. We know pokemon exist in other planets, anime uses Clefairy who try to build a spaceship, games show Deoxys, who literally came in a meteor, heck ultrabeasts are pokemon from different dimensions. The paradox pokemon is just the turtle ark trying to bring back pokemon from its own planet. Due to the fact that it crashed, it may have gotten damaged and it tried to use it's DNA bank in combination with this new planet's pokemon as a template to recreate its own world's pokemon. But, it has not worked perfectly, thus also trying to technologically recreate others, but due to damage, not getting exactly right either and even recreating some based on the closest it found on this new planet.

Pietortal: Makes your dreams come true 😏…

My theory is that there were a couple of paradox pokemon, but the professors wanted more. They found that there was a rift and used the energy they created the time machine that is more of a worm hole and it bungee cords the masterball into the rift and then back.

Word. I personally think that Miraidon/Koraidon are different from the other paradox Pokémon. Their Pokédex entries mention Koraidon being “Winged King” mentioned in an old book. Likewise with Miraidon being called the “Iron Serpent” in an Old book.

I think it's absurd that this thing, Eternatus, and Necrozma are unrelated in any way. All 3 are related to space and meteors, all 3 are crystalline and glowing, and all 3 are involved with some crystal-themed pokemon empowering gimmick. No way that's not related

I feel like the 3rd legend is something a kin to Arceus like a Paradox version

11:27 apparently, the multiverse theory is canon now in Pokémon, so the GSC universe is different from the SV one, in which maybe there is no time machine in Jotho

I feel like the Disk Pokemon is like a tv and the Time Machine is like the remote to have control on where they could or can send the ball back and forth. If that makes. like they are using the disk pokemon for their research.

With the way it looks in the Scarlet/Violet books, I'm guessing Psychic/Dragon. Add the fact that the dragon type also represents some kind of energy (I forget what kind), and I think Psychic/Dragon makes the most sense. Also, what if this is a Bill Cipher situation. The people who blotted out the creature's name thought it was dangerous and didn't want that danger to affect Paldea or worse, the entire world

I really dont understand why people are saying that the mystery Pokemon is a "disk" Pokemon. Disks don't have scales and it's established that the blanked out spots in the book don't always equate to one letter. I thought it would be obvious that the mystery Pokemon would be called "A Basilisk Pokemon"

I feel like the disk Pokémon has a symbiotic relationship to Arceus; it being the egg that Arceus emerged from. The power of the plates and the power of terastilazation have a bit of overlap as well giving other Pokémon the ability to switch type at will. Without Arceus actively using the disk pokemon to create, it lays dormant waiting for others to explore into its lair ( Area Zero) to create things from there memories/imagination. Area Zero could also be a prison for it since it was no longer needed by Arceus to create life. Also like your theory of the disk Pokémon acting as a rival to Arceus. But I feel like there has to be a connection of the disk Pokémon to Arceus and the creation trio.

The disk Pokemon is Lavos. Cannon connection to CT!

I think the pokémons in the crater are related some how between the 3rd legendary and the professors themselfs. There is only past creatures in scarlet and there is only future ones in scarlet. I'm most likely wrong, but that's the feeling that I got.

Feel Glimmora are the offspring or the servants of the Tera legendary.

These patterns of the time machine match zygarde's patterns ngl

(I’ve only played Violet) Since Turo made an AI Turo who went through time, whose to say that Turo didn’t make another AI to go through and build a Time Machine there? Maybe somehow the Turo in the storyline somehow made it?

Does anyone else remember the entei movie where the unknown pokemon gathered into a circle an warped reality according to what a little girl wanted it to be and these crazy crystals kept spreading and once you entered the crystal area it was like entering her own reality? Just me? Alright..

I wonder if this will be an ultrabeast or a deoxys type alien pokemon

Wait, so what happend to AI Sada/Turo when they activated the machine? Did they got obliterated? Absorbed by the disc pokemon?

this is the best theory i have stumbled on YT!very well thought out and composed ,it might actually be true! I have something to propose though! What if this 3rd legendary is something above everything else, even arceus! We know its a reality shifter, no one can say its name and its shape is like an egg! Something like the egg of creation. Something that can manipulate or generate matter and reality. Also SV's code name was TITAN and we know from greek mythology the gods were the offsprings of TITANS. ARCEUS dialga and palkia are the offsprings of this 3rd legendary. I could stretch it even more and break the 4th wall going from the perspective of art direction and how different is the style of SV compare to other pokemon games , it like this 3rd legendary rebooted pokemon itsgelf. This is the Titan that will create a new pokemon universe and experience!

Imagine the pokemon dimension the game's plot happens in Now imagine the different one that's almost like the first one with the only difference that it's several thousand years ahead/behind of it Now connect the two with the Ultra Wormhole Bam! You got yourself a time machine And it is almost always a one-way ticket (without a special Pokemon like Solgaleo or Lunala, that is)

I'll accept every theory except for the "The Disk Pokemon creates the Paradox Pokemons (or anything) from one's imagination". That sounds really stupid. How come time travel (which has solid proof in-game) can be doubted in a fantasy adventure themed game and instead, one thinks that everything is just imagination? lol

Did you know there is a theory in the real world about our universe being crystal like? (bc things repeat all over and over again, like a crystal structure) Sientists said when the universe is rounded or agled than it is finite, but we found out it is flat, and therfore infinite. Now some theories say that something like dimensions do not exist, but duo the nature of the universe being infinite, things will repeat over a distance in a true infinite universe. means that what we think about the multiverse and same universes but with slight differences is actually just far far away from us, but happening in the same but in this case "not observable" universe. Now let's go back to pokemon. If we remember the ultra sun and moon games there was a mini game where we could use wormholes to travel to different "ultra space" places. And there are even ultra spaces where it was clear that we are still in Alola, as we could see a destroyed version of one of the Alola cities there (Where Guzzlord is for example). And why do I mention this? Whenever you perform a wormhole trip to another place... it does not say from another time, it says "this many light years away", which is not an indicator for time, but for distance. Refering to exactly that theory that things repeat in an infinite distance. Now back to the gen9 disc pokemon. If it is based on crystals. And maybe even the infinite energy. What if that thing is just controlling distance. All those paradox pokemon from the past and the space are actually NOT from the future or the past, they are just from another far away places in the ultra space/not observable universe where the same world exists but in different time periods. So in other words that disc pokemon might be able to just create wormholes to far away places, overlap time and space in a way how you can send a pokeball there and grab a pokemon to our place. Maybe this pokemon has the ability to do that, but a human is able to use it's power to calculate where it would need to go to find similar desired pokemon shapes just like from your imaginations. Bc if you can imagine it as something possible in nature, IT IS out there in the infinite crystal and with the help of tech and AI the pokemon might be able to use it's powers to connect to that place, even when those pokemon from the past never existed in our world in the past or maybe they did. does not matter. Solving the paradox here. I hope you get what I'm trying to say. I'm saying paradox pokemon are ultra beasts. And once again, not saying I'm right here, just found it an intersting thought to share with you. The video reminded me to that idea, so I wanted to share it with someone who might be interested in it. Now I should stop and actually watch your video. Brb!

My theory is that the disk pokemon is the pokemon world's version of roko's basilisk. It an ai created by the professors (probably the ai professors are part of it), it *is* the time machine and the source or tera energy and sent paradox pokemon before it was created to ensure its own creation. Plus that explains why all the future paradox are robots if this ai pokemon took over macro evolution to turn pokemon jnto perfect cybernetic beings

I like your point of view in which Paradox work as security, antibodies. ¿Could the crater be a nest? And maybe Terrapagos the child, which needs the protection, the princess like in the story of Urashima Taro. That would leave the question, which Pokémon represents the Dragon King in the story. I would say Zygarde but idk, he wouldnt be able to bring the Paradox unless it's Terrapagos itself bringing the creaturas through the "time machine" made by the profesors. Idk.

Paradox /restored/cloned ? Glemora is like remoraid? Could the missing letters be the passcode itself or code blocks in book to the machine

AREA ZERO SEEMS TO BE KINDA SIMILAR TO HOLLOW EARTH maybe where they got the idea from

What if the real professors are in the past/present and made the reentry point with help from their life model decoys on the present time sending the parts needed and when they go back the real professors are able to come back .....

You could definitely use the time machine in gold silver and crystal way before you beat the game it's after you get to Ecruteak City

What are Tera orbs made of? If Tera orbs give terastallization power outside the crater then it is possible the Tera orbs are remains of the third legendary meaning the third legend isn't alive in the Scarlet and Violet universe. However like you said in an earlier video time is relative so a mirror universe could be experiencing almost identical events from the future or past at the same time as we experience present Scarlet and Violet events so even though the third legend is broken to pieces in the present it's still intact in at least 2 mirror worlds where pokemon seem either ancient or futuristic. Not a time machine but dimensional shifter. It all feels way too similar to untrawormholes from sun and moon and may be a way to connect real life technology like pokemon home or other out of game storage systems to connect legends Arecus or newer legends games that take place in the past to future games that study its lore? What if glimmet and glimmora are mirror versions of cosmog and cosmoem? They could be unevolved versions of the third legend being sacrificed by their elder so it can stay protected in the crater. This is my theory: Geeta is the third legend using her power of terastallization to change her typing into the appearance of a human. That's why she's still top champion and uses glimmora.

Imagine it's name is linked to a mystery code that's why it's blocked

plot twist: the 3rd legendary is xatu. pokemon silver entry: In south america it is said that its right eye sees into the future and its left eye sees into the past. pokemon ruby entry: xatu stands rooted and still in place all day long. people believe this pokemon does so out of fear of of the terrible things it has forseen in the future.

I feel like this new Pokémon could be a dragon fairy type or a rock psychic type.

The way the time machine the S&V is described as working reminds me more of Bill's Time Capsule system that allowed you to transfer through time from gold and silver to the original red, blue and yellow. It only works on pokemon in their pokeballs. Maybe Sada/Turo continued Bill's research to make the time machine advancing it enough where they could even send themselves/roboselves through it(more likely originally planned to send the robot versions through to explore, since they are robots and could withstand the journey) Or it could be the 3rd legendary is a Paradox combination of Palkia, Dialga and possibly Giratina. Since we already have time and space control god pokemon spoken for it would have to be related to eachother.

But what happened to AI Professor when they went to the future/past?

I think the creature was hurt by greed essentially. The folks in the Paldea and the overall theme of the region centers on treasure and associates them with desires or wishes. You are on a treasure hunt but that treasure isn't anything tangible but instead finding or accomplishing what you desired or valued the most. The King of Paldea that started the long age of repeated expeditions into the crater is noted to be an incredibly greedy and powerful hungry man who started this because wanted the precious treasure. It hurt the legendary, the man's rotten treasure, his rotten desire, breaking off pieces of the legendary and causing it to shatter in a sense. The legendary naturally lashed out and then isolated itself in an area separate from everything else that would be used to create a security system to protect itself. This is largely based on your cipher but I think the third legendary is an ice/psychic type that was greatly harmed by rotten desire and vices and so isolated itself and created a defense system to kill anybody that comes in. Heath wasn't killed because he didn't care about some jewel or materialistic treasure, he just wanted to know what was down there. Through that encounter the legendary decided to change its stance and to start giving humanity a chance.

Ooh what if this mysterious Pokemon was an alternate form of Celebi? Celebi has 6 characters in it's name. It also has the power to time travel and has some psychic abilities. Oh and there's the GS ball. It's old yet looks like modern Poke Ball. Nobody can figure out how it works. Maybe this alternate Celebi is in the GS ball. Maybe we'll get the GS ball in the DLC. We take it to area zero and it reacts to the terra energy . It releases the Alt Celebi that was inside. And this Celebi goes crazy and we have to tame it some how.

I feel like....all these 3rd legendary since Gen 6 (arguably gen 5 with the original dragon) are a avatar of Arceus.

Okay and here me out, but in Norse mythology there’s the world tree connecting the 9 realms (generations) that the gods (arceus, palkia, dialga) meet at. What if the crater was caused from a fallen seed off one of the branches of the tree. And to take it a step further, we already have part of that lore in Kalos with their legendary trio. Couple that with how close their respective real world locations are and there starts to be a thru line. And glimmora would make sense as the seeds germination product giving what we kno about them and how they spread like pollen. Not to mention the Tera crystals being similar to the great weapon visually. Since the world tree is forever there can be an argument made for it to be able to pull from either past or future depending how where it chooses to access memories as it wouldn’t view time as going in one direction and has access to everything all the time.

Also if we draw an "Y" in a Middle of an Hexagon we get a side perspective of a 3D Cube

This theory so good i want it to be real. The moment i saw Glimmora i was so hyped because its so unique for a rock type. Only Nihilego is the other rock type pokemon that is unlike any other rock types which was so cool. Its exciting from a design standpoint but it is downright awesome from game standpoint. We know Nihilego is a bonafide alien pokemon so its very plausible to guess Glimmora is too making your theory of Glimmora arriving in Paldea with disc pokemon. Perhaps glimmet only exist in paldea and a reaction to the energy on this foreign planet (for glimmora and disc) which is why they could go out from the crater and inhabit paldea. Glimmora is still alien and can only survive naturally in the crater because of tera energy which can just be understood as Infinity energy of the world where they come from. Pokemon coming from meteors is nothing new, Enough rambling. Great theory it makes sense to be and i want to it be real. I think something that has really been hidden for so long and yet unexplored in the role is what actually are pokemon types? Even terastalizing has to do with types so much so that they can straight up replace the "natural" type of any pokemon exposed to tera energy. How does a pokemon get a type? Do humans have type? How come pokemon with Protean, Color change and Libero are able to change their types without tera energy? How can porygon change it type with conversion and conversion 2? How do soak and magic powder change the type of pokemon? How do forest's curse and trick-or-treat ADD types to a pokemon? For the longest time everyone has consciously or unconsciously accepted that these are all just to do with game mechanics and sure that maybe have been the case initially but i wont believe it now. Pokemon/gamefreak does not forget. They may not be the best at game optimization but boy are amazing at doing research on multiple concepts, creating and adapting lore, and giving lore explanations to everything thats only supposed to be game mechanics. I could go on for hours and link to countless videos by other theorists who prove this fact but im here to start a discussion regarding what types actually are. I thought for the first time we would get some sort of explanation to types with the legend plate arceus thing but perhaps that was just a nod to terastalization as gamefreak also loves teasing their next games and concepts. Regardless, i think its currently the best starting point we have. We know that the 'arceus' we recieve in PLA as well as all the 'plates' all come directly from arceus. So sure short answer they come from answer. But thats just a cop out because everything comes from Arceus (yes even aliens and ultra beasts because the 720 BST llama we see and use in game is nothing but an infinitesimal fragment of the real Arceus. And now with removal of megas and primals as well nerfs to Zacian and Zamazenta, Arceus is still currently the mon with highest BST). Even if the final answer was types come from Arceus, we still dont know how it works. We know types aren't limited to pokemon since people have psychic powers too (Sabrina) and hex maniacs annd similar trainer classes have ghostly powers or aura powers. So what factors decide what types pokemon get? Even as early as gen2, Magnemite line got the steel typing and gen 6 a bunch of pokemon got the fairy typing. This cannot just be attributed to game mechanics. Is it actually humans who tried to understand all the elemental powers of pokemon and classified them as types? That would explain older pokemon getting different types because its the sciemtific process right, you correct previous data based on newer information gained. But that introduces a whole different set of problems that has to do with type: immunities. Up intil gen 5 you could dragon move a cleffa into oblivion but then it suddenly laughs in the face of plus +6 life orb Draco meteor latios and kisses it back to kill it? Like how does that work with the lore. And then there are regional variants with different types that supposedly adapted to different areas to gain the different type. How do you fit that into a logical explanation. There are too many unanswered questions that havent even been tried to be answered regarding type. Now everyone reading this comment is wondering why am i writing a thesis here instead of actually working my masters thesis and that is valid. Pokemon is more interesting than the relationship between road and drainage systems okay. Miraidon rides through both and all it needs a subway for fuel. Personal info leaking and major tangent aside, the reason i am talking about types is because types are the nucleus of the gimmick this generation. Since terastalizing is the result of Disc pokemon's influence/power im hoping for some sort of explanation as to the how and why pokemon have the the types that they have for a given time and location. Its clearly not a permanent feature of pokemon. But then again apart from being made of infinity energy and natural ability to shrink, nothing about pokemon themselves is permanent. Their species and appearance change over time, their types, stats, abilities and movepools change over time and hell even their names are not permanent ( if its proved by the game itself that future paradox pokemon really are from the future that is). I just want to know how pokemon get their types and then we can get into to even crazier thing of how pokemon moves get their types. I hope Drogane can look into this and at the very least start the process of figuring out the under the radar mystery that is pokemon types.

What if the robot Pokémon from violet are actually made of tera crystals.

I've checked TV Tropes on the matter about this. It says that Sada/Turo wanted to put all of there research first because they loved there son. From what I got out of it they wanted to live in Area Zero possibly ruling over it together with there son? Could you check TV Tropes on this matter and do a video on this please?

this is just my theory but this 3rd legendary may have wiped out the pokemon that are exclusive to the other game to make the paradox and realized "oops shouldnt have done that ^^:" and thats why some pokemon still exists like Delibird and Jigglypuff

The book can only access the time machine because professor Sada/Turo encrypted it with a key

what if the disk pokemon took the ai from the ai sada and becomes a fusion of ai sada and itself? big boss of dlc? cant wait to find out

Paradox Pokémons are come from another alternate universes just like the ultra beasts.

Here is a little theory. How do we know others haven’t been their yet? What if and hang on here. What if the legendary has influenced events everywhere. And people like Geovanni are so successful at gaining their plans every time be based on a mission they need to do for events to set motion. What if this very Pokémon influenced fossil restoration. And this giving it a blueprint to revive Pokémon, and since it’s futuristic it can create AI with futuristic generators that it envisions as futuristic ir past but what if they aren’t actually? Because if that was the case then all Pokémon would look differently then what they do. Not just the few. You are also ignoring the one fact that the sample Pokémon that started the process is cyclizard and dophan because they are the only ones compatible to powering the legendary. Same how charizard and mewtwo both being added have 2 mega forms. They need both the x and y gene to revive the legendary. Cyclizard has it same with dophan

Plot twist, it's just a bunch of unknown playing a goof

The idea of the time machine was flawed the moment it was explained that mecha sada said she couldn't return. So in a sense I think the machine actually has to be manifesting the pokemon using the power of the user's imagination. At some point they wanted to see these Pokémon from the nooks so badly that their thoughts were made real. The reason why they existed before is because heated likely dreamed up these Pokémon and the 3rd legendary used that to create these Pokémon. Something had to happen that caused it to vanish. And with it the other paradoxes which might be why everyone thought heath was crazy n lying. But then many years later sada get the book believes in the creatures....enters the crater and the 3rd legend pokemon speaks to her/him to build the machine in its likeness or Abilities. Giving the. The power to create these paradox Pokémon yet again.

The disc pokemon looks like a disco ball

The drawing is wrongly displayed, maybe. flip it and look at it upside down. I see tera crystals. And when dreaming drawings, sometimes they are in reverse

Glimmora gives me gen 7 vibes.

Plot twist the third legendary just turns out to be Dialga

Love the idea BUT, I belive AZ ultimate weapon created this 3rd legendary as a side effect as well as the crater. Over the years the region recovered and people explored the crater blah blah blah hopefully that makes sense and ties in with your concept I don’t see it being an alien creature but possibly the fused and crystallized dna of all the life his weapon distorted

When it comes to the blanked out letters, I don't know if you ever considered it, BUT Couldn't the number of letters in each blacked out piece be important and help sort and solve shit? It was something odd I noticed, but can't make much sense of. For example, starting from the top going down on the page from the Scarlet/Violet book: "D" is a single letter covered by a blackout, but "ok" and "mo" are both covered by a blackout. Additionally in lines 9 and 10, we have two instances of three letters covered by a single blackout. In line 9 it's "emb" and in line 10, it's "ter". I can't help but feel something about this detail is important. For example, what if each of the blank spaces in the Pokemon's redacted name is meant to hold multiple characters, or a single character, or a combination of both ideas from the redacted letters on the page about the Disk Pokemon? This feels like a detail that is important but a smarter person than I must work out.

I think that it’s just Ash Ketchum in disguise 😂
