There's also the spear pillar, which somehow has a direct link to a rift in space/time where the actual pokemon world god resides. It and the azure flute that you need to access said rift make no sense and I really hope that legends arceus goes more into the details of how it's actually possible. And some concrete details on what exactly the connection between the sinjoh ruins and ruins of alph is would also be nice. (And also the ruins of alph i would classify as another wonder that got snubbed)

I get the impression that the Winding Woods and similar locations are so vast that the player character just gets lost when moving from location to location. So in the transition from one screen to another, the player might have just lost track of where they were and ended up back at the start. They are the"Winding" Woods after all, so maybe the player character ends up looping back on themself.

[@tobiasdarkrai1134]

My head canon is that the woods are not actually trees, but Trevenant. And they can re-orient themselves to change the paths

[@AlunKahul]

Little fun fact about Giant Chasm. It is most likely a reference to the Tunguska event. A real life event where a bunch of trees were found felled overnight and looked a lot like the trees in the middle of the Giant Chasm. People at the time didn’t know what caused it, but modern science point toward a meteor exploding before it impacted the ground making a big air blast

[@TheRibottoStudios]

I feel like places like Sootopolis are made BECAUSE of the bond people share with Pokemon. I'm betting Psychic Pokemon, Water Pokemon, and Fighting Pokemon lended a hand in the creation of the "city". Also I think a good one for the man made wonders that wasn't here, was Geosenge Town, based on Stonehenge, which is one of the wonders of the REAL world, and for natural wonders, Reflection Cave from Kalos as well. That cave is SO gorgeous, and it looks like it's man made, but no. It's all natural extremely reflective crystal. So reflective, that trainers can see you trying to walk behind them, and challenge you to battle. I like how it looks in the anime as well-the mirror world was super odd touch but kinda cool.

The internet theory is the Sundial would've played a role in an event for Diancie, where possibly players would find a special Carbink, and by bringing this Carbink to the sundial at a specific moment, either an event is triggered with cutscenes or the raw exposure to the sundial's energy mutates that Carbink, unofficially evolving it into a Diancie.
