As interesting as the "you're your own ancestor" thing is, there is a snag with that theory: you canonically capture both dialga and palkia in this game.

[@RodrigoLeaf15]

Giratina got major character development in this game :D Today I say a dialogue from Volo, during a quest in the Celestic Ruins, where he refers to Girantina as "the creator's unwanted children" and that made something click. Arceus created Dialga and Palkia, time and space, and they together created matter. But, with matter being brought into existence, antimatter (Giratina) was created aswell, whos only purpose is to destroy matter. That's why Arceus banished it to the Distorsion World, and why Giratina grew resentful. It was born and its existence was harmful for the Universe, so the creator had to banish Giratina to keep everything intact. Then the plot of this game happens, and finally, after millenia, Giratina realizes its rage served no purpose, and that it can abandon it in favor of a higher calling, protecting this world. And from then, Giratina watches from the other side, making sure the world is safe.

[@SzandorQuinn]

my guess (and this is also mentioned by other Poketubers) is that Giratina doesn't control antimatter, but GRAVITY instead. I mean, controlling gravity would explain why gravity is all wonky in the Distortion World as opposed to antimatter, since if it was antimatter, not even Giratina himself could exist there since he's made of matter himself, much less Cyrus, Cynthia, us, or any of the aforementioned characters' teams.

[@clarkside4493]

[@SzandorQuinn]

@@clarkside4493 yes, and I personally suspect that this aspect of Giratina's power over gravity might also explain why time seems to stand still within the Distortion World itself, and partially have something to do why the space-time distortions in Legends Arceus are called DISTORTIONS and have the same purple, hazy effect within them that we see within the Distortion World in Platinum.

Another interesting tidbit with Kamado’s Armor is that it’s the exact same design as the Kalos Regions Elite Four Member Wikstrom’s armor. So because Kamado says it’s traditional Galarian armor, that means that Wikstrom is either from the Galar Region originally, or he has connections to Galar

Technically they never confirmed that Dawn and Lucas are related. It is possible that the Rei/Akari from the past is simply the ancestor of Rowan's assistant in the present. Though I do have a headcanon as Rei/Akari from the present being the child of Dawn and/or Lucas.

[@Its_Daniel-hn6gd]

Travelled back to time

[@scook449]

The plot of time travel into becoming you own ancestor is actually kinda common. Off the top of my head Inuyasha is the other story I can think of. They don't say it out right but Kigome's family are descendants of the shrine maiden that protected the tree that was the one Inuyasha was bound to. Before he was bound to it no one cared about the tree. Afterwards she ends up in their time and everyone refers to her as a shrine maiden as she has Holy powers she inherited from her ancestor, her reincarnate, and the last shrine maiden that was forged into the stone that was sealed in her body. She went on to be with Inuyasha and they lived close to the tree and the well that she fell into that is far from the village due to it being seen as cursed. So their family is the only ones around to protect the tree for some time. So after about 500 years her descendants genes lined up just right to look exactly like her, and her reincarnate, and this lead to this child to be the one the reincarnate soul bound itself too. Leading to the stone(which is bound to the reincarnate soul) growing within her until she was summoned at the beginning of the series.

[@nox1910]

In addition to the Galar thing, there's also the fact that on the front of the Galaxy Team's building, there's a big structure that's very clearly modeled after Galarian Weezing. With all of these hints, it definitely seems like they wanted to make it nearly impossible to miss the Galar connection, and that's not even to mention the curious Alola parallels.

[@Mr.J503]

[@talesfromatiredmind4785]

@@DracoSkyGX it makes sense, great Britain had a thing for expansion and colonization. If there were already people on hisui, which we know there were since the diamond and pearl clan exist, they were colonized by galar, but had enough power to stop any further takeover.

[@KestralKuthule]

[@EndlessNight025]

I really don’t think Kamado and Beni are from Galar. First of all, the name “Kamado” sounds Japanese and not English/Western, and Beni is skilled at making mochi and is a freakin’ ninja, for goodness sake! I suspect they’re both most likely from Johto, since Beni mentioned his and Kamado’s village was destroyed by a Pokémon, which might have been the town where the Lake of Rage is, and in the Japanese version of the game, Kamado briefly speaks in a Kansai dialect, which the Johto games imply the people of that region to speak since it’s based on Japan’s Kansai region and all that. If Kamado was from Galar, he’d probably throw in some English words like Laventon does. While Kamado’s armor is from Galar, he probably just got it from there since European armor was a bit stronger than Japanese armor back then, though really, you know it was actually because the developers already had that design from that Elite Four guy from Kalos and it was probably just easier to use that model instead of creating a brand new design lol. Also, similar to Britain’s relationship with India, it’s possible that Laventon might originally be from an India-based region and then moved to Galar before coming to Hisui.

[@iceooze220]

That may be true because professor Laventon reference to Copperajah or Cufant and their not native to the galar region .

[@justinromero8859]

This seems way more accurate than what a lot of poketubers are saying about Kamado and Beni's origin. It was interesting to see how so many people interpreted Kamado's change in dialect to be British/Galarian. But often in Japanese media, a change in dialect that implies informality, just as you said, is meant to mean that person has a Kansai dialect. I'm also not really a fan of poketubers saying that Laventon is Hop and Leon's ancestor 100%. They look nothing alike aside from their skin color, and in the official art book, his hair wasn't even the right color. All the ancestors in the game have a way more obvious resemblance to them than Laventon x Hop/Leon. It just irks me bc it's borderline "all brown people are related".

Very much disagree that the townsfolk (and Kamado) are "heavily implied" to be Galarian. Let's not forget, Galar is based on the UK, while Jubilife has very traditional Japanese influences. As far as I know, the period that the game is based on is around the time when Japan had begun trade with the west, so it's natural that one would see a lot of "Galarian" influences, from some of the architecture, to Kamado's armour.

[@Yuki_Ika7]

So, basically Legends Arceus is set in a Meiji restoration kind of setting. Distinctly Japanese but becoming modernised.

[@cactusalucano4013]

Kamado is from Johto, when losing his composure in Japanese he changes to Kansai dialect which is the region Johto is based.

[@willherondale2397]

I personally don't think Commander Kamado (and Beni) are from Galar at all. In the Japanese versions of the game sometimes he slips in a Kansai dialect, which is usually common in characters from Johto such as Bill. His armor is indeed Galarian but Kamado himself maybe is from Johto, possibly from Lake of Rage or Mahogany Town

[@MagusAgrippa8]

Perhaps he’s half Galarian half Johtoan?

Also, the home village of Komado and Beni was destroyed by the rambaging Pokémon that was in the rage, just as modern Pokedex tells about Gyarados and the ancient city, that was destroyed by Gyarados, is associated with Johto region. And in some game was mentioned that on the shores of Lake Rage was once a city that was destroyed, if I remember correctly.

Since Copperajah is not originally from Galar but has migrated from elsewhere, people have speculated wildly that Professor Laventon would be from Copperajah's homeland which may be India or it based on India.

[@matthewdavenport9549]

This doesn't make sense though. It's based on the Raichu dex entry but, the dex entry says the Copperajah of MY homeland. This does not mean that his homeland must also be copperajah's homeland. Just that copperajah exist in his homeland. Which would 100% have already been the case for Galar.

It's still a nice little coincidence that "lithe" and "lith" match well enough to make a variant typing joke, at least :3

Actually I think it's the player from the platinum series since Giratina's actions in platinum matches with Giratina's mission to protect Hisui. Also there was a theory of Necrozma resetting the pokeverse ( leading to let's go Eevee/Pikachu). So the player could literally be the sole survivor.

3:55 Is it directly confirmed that Kamado came from Galar? I was under the impression that he (and Beni) were of the Celestica people, as their hometown was wiped out, Beni is a ninja (unlikely to be from Galar), and when Kamado apologises to you, he mentions something like "for the Celestica people", which would be unusual if he were just a settler from Galar. I'd thought that the Galarian armour was just something that Laventon might've gifted to Kamado. Though I haven't quite beaten the game yet, so perhaps there's dialogue confirming where Kamado is from later on?

[@matthewdavenport9549]

Actually I have the feeling that i have a lot of explanations for the "you are your own ancestor thing" as well as the few mysteries that are involved with it and the future. First thing first yes you are one of the ancestors to yourself in a way. I feel that the player character is the one from platinum for whom defeated team galactic and caught the legends and all that. That said U are pulled back in time to stop a volo's plan and by doing so locks you in the past with no way to return. While this is true you actions did have an effect on the future such as befriending choy who thanks to you never has the issues he had which would prob affect his descendant preventing them from getting into team galactic as well as many other changes that affected the world. Now here is something people did not think of is that your ancestor still exist but to whom that is is somewhat ironic. See your ancestor was never yourself but the rival character regardless of who you choose. Akari for the sake of most people chose the male is the ancestor to both dawn and lucas for whom over generations like everyone families split and a lot of people within an area can find common ancestry from a long time ago. There is a chance that you do marry your rival as well which would make it like a futurama like thing but I think that is a little much. For the pokemon you captured well this goes down to the age old question of what happens to pokemon when their trainer dies. U was not going to be like 300+ year ash so it is likely your mons was released at some point even to the point that they was given final wishes by you to help your descendant later hence why the do the things they do in bdsp and the og games. Now one last thing I think is happening and this is why I mentioned you are the one from platinum is that I think you or your rival would be the ancestors not of the ones in Platinum or the og games but of those in bdsp which is a new timeline you created while you in the platinum timeline disappeared. Got to love time travel science and theories.

The Growlithe we see in modern Sinnoh were probably brought to the region and either breed with the local Hisuian Growlithe and the genes of the Kanto version won out or they were simply out competed by the Kanto Growlithe.

[@mathughsyoutubeworld2655]

It’s also called growlithe because growlithe has inspiration from statues, made of stone. Also dogs have been friends with humans for a while and 100 years before now the breeds had noticeably different traits from the modern versions of the same breed.

[@tashahemlock8195]

These are some interesting lore for the Pokemon and it's quite a bit of world building. One thing's for certain is that the community of pokemon fans, the ones that do fakemon and fakemon region, will have fun in doing their own version of Pokemon legends explaining the past of their region. Maybe we may get to see a past version of your region of Norcloh in the future with past pokemon forms. Who knows?

Laventon isn't from Galar. We know that he's from the same region that Copperajah is originally from but don't forget that Copperajah isn't native to Galar.

[@NinJaguar]

It could very well be the case that Copperajah were imported to Galar before the time that Laventon had been part of the region

[@Tharja-iBW]

It's likely Laventon's ancestry goes back to an Indian based region but his family currently resides in Galar. Much like how many Pakistani's now reside in Britain.

[@HoopsandHipHop]

Barring official direct confirmation, Laventon is definitely from Galar. He is very obviously related to Hop and Leon, based on their similar appearance, and even clothing, as well as a mountain of circumstantial evidence, such as him speaking with a British dialect, and him being a professor, just like Hop eventually became. The dex entry involving Copperajah isn’t saying that Laventon is from where Copperajah is originally from. This is actually yet another hint that Laventon is from Galar, because Copperajah debuted in the Galar region, and would have already been in the region when Laventon lived there, hence why he mentions his “homeland” in the dex entry.

[@BergmitetheBlueandPointy0712]

[@timothywoo9215]

I find these lores very interesting, but for the "being your own ancestor" theory, could it be possible that you actually play as the ancestor of Lucas or Dawn that becomes Professor Rowan's assistant depending on the gender you choose in Diamond or Pearl? Cause maybe this idea may give reason as to why either one became Rowan's assitant in the first place, which would be due to ancestral friendly ties. Otherwise in the words of Futurama you'll be implying that you "did the nasty in the pasty" lol.

[@magicwandstudio3141]

You know what thats actually whats on my mind. The player of Legends is the ancestor of the assistant instead of Johanna’s kid. I mean they are trying to make pokedex and studying Pokemon. That sound like what the assistant did.

[@KHTimeProtecter]

Actually, the MC for Arceus is implied to have been transported to the Pokémon world from another one via isekai. So probably not the whole “your own ancestor thing” like in Futurama.

[@AceRide]

I've been thinking about the "Dawn & Lucas being their own ancestors " thing lately, and I've started to think it might be more likely that Lucas and Dawn are reincarnations of Akari and Rei. It would be a simple in-universe way to explain why both the player and assistant characters look identical to their modern counterparts, even though only one of them traveled back through time. Arceus sent one to deal with the Space-Time Rift, they lived out their life in Hisui, then both were reincarnated to deal with Cyrus. Maybe they still are their own ancestors, or maybe they were reborn into a family they had no previous relation to.

[@arthurlevi5403]

There is one big problem: reincarnation isn't really well stablished in game lore ,the most we have is either human to pokémon, or pokémon to pokémon, never human to human,which makes your theory unfinished at best.

[@AceRide]

@@arthurlevi5403 Wouldn't really overcomplicate things anymore than they already are, it's a cyclical time loop/paradox with both theories. Human reincarnation hasn't been a thing in the main series prior to Legends Arceus, but neither has time travel. You can't use one to rule out the possibility of the other when both are new concepts to the series. Not to mention that the player character literally has to be reborn in order to go back in time to begin with. The assistant character is the only one my theory would really effect

[@redwelch7547]

I don't think the player character is their own ancestor. Having the space, time, and God pokemon, I think they would be able to go to their own time at any point if they wanted. But I do think the professors assistant is definitely the players ancestor. As for porygon, their is a possibility that the hisui pokedex could be lost or damaged by the modern day. We have plenty of old books with missing or destroyed pages. So by modern day, porygon and fosls could still be discovered without anyone knowing they had been seen in the past.

My co worker has a theory that would suggest that the player character is from kalos, based on the shirt we wear at the start of the game. And in my opinion I think adaman is the ancestor to acerola in alola.

1st point makes sense. Galar, based on the UK, conquering land for themselves

[@VeggiePopper]

But they never conquered Japan, which is what bugs me a lot. So far, the Pokémon series was somewhat accurate to the real world. Even PLA is a fantastic retelling of how Hokkaido was colonized by the Japanese who gave the island a new name. Therefore, a more accurate lore would have Hisui colonized by people from Kanto.or Johto. Even Hoenn would have been better than Galar. But alas, this is Gen 8 so there must be a Galar connection no matter how little sense It makes, hence why Hisui was founded by Galarians.

[@laju6398]

@@VeggiePopper well it was at the time when Japan opened to the west and imported quite a lot of british stuff so it does actually make sense. The theory that Hisui was colonized by Galarians also doesn't realy have any evidence behind it, sure Laventon is from Galar (in irl i would say he is specifically from British-India) and Kamado may have a Galarian wife but thats it.

About the first fact. I've noticed that whatever generation a remake is released in. It's usually associated with the main region of the generation. Like how the original Arceus event was in HGSS or how there were new Megas in ORAS

More proof that Laventon is from Galar is in Raichu's Pokédex entry where it says that it's shocks could kill a Copperaja from his homeland plus you can only find Copperaja in Galar

[@_matejos_7695]

You basically just said that hes not from galar because in copperajahs pokedex entry it says that it came to galar from other unknown region if Laventon was from galar he probably would have also said from galar not from my homeland so hes probably from that unknown region

[@danielcadena922]

Something interesting is the fact that you can't find either Magnemite or Magneton in the wild anywhere in Hisui (only space-time distortions), but you can find Magnezone flying around on the overworld. Maybe Magnezones are actually an alien species and that's their true form and Magnemite is some kind of involution from them?

[@ZimVerse]

[@Lupinemancer87]

I guess this also means that the humans of the Pokemon world don't have the same ethnic diversity as in our world, and are all the same. So even if a region is based on a real world country, and the people there dress similar to the real world counterpart, doesn't mean the people there are of that ethnicity.

[@Triggernyar]

I can only assume the most definitive proof you're your own ancestor is that it results in something like Fry in Futurama where your character is genetically brain-damaged enough to have an outsider take control of them to do everything from become a master pokemon trainer to walking into a wall for hours on end.

[@malusexcelsis5461]

Even though the space time rift closes at the end of the game, I'm pretty sure your player CAN still get back to the future. They literally own the Gods of space, time, creation, and the God that made the space time rift in the first place.

[@rafaelzamudio354]

In regards of we being out own ancestor, I have my own theory. Yes, we are our own ancestor, but not at the same time. I think our character comes from the originals DPPt, but PLA takes place in the BDSP timeline. That way, we can still pull a Phillip J Fry but not cause any paradox.

This is some Futurama level idea. It could be possible that the player and Akari are the ancestors of this games future Dawn/Lucas, as I don't think the playable was pulled from the future setting of that game. Laverton is most likely the ancestor of both Hop and Leon. Kamodo is most likely the ancestor of both Professor Rowan and Kalos E4 member Wikstrom. The rest seems obvious, more or less.

[@silversonic1]

You're overthinking the Galar descendant thing. For instance, Beni's a ninja. Kamado is a Japanese word, specifically referring to a type of wood fueled stove(ironic, as Rowan is named after a kind of oak tree.) Kamado's armor may have been given to him by someone from the Galar region. Remember that he still wears a headband while wearing the armor and otherwise looks and behaves in ways which are traditionally Japanese. Long story short, you can't let one thing you see distract you from the rest of what's shown.

[@XanXinGames]

Lithe means agile, which is part of growlithes name

[@xXTigerWaveXx]

I don’t think Kamado is from Galar I believe he’s actually from Johto because he wears a kamono throughout the entire game and only dawns the Galarian armor at the end of the game I think he visited Galar and was able to get his hands on the armor which would’ve been more prominent during that time Not only that but he has Pokémon that are more common in in Johto
