I’m very early in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, however I simply discovered one thing in Lumiose Metropolis I needed to inform any person about, or I would explode. The RPG’s map is small, however for those who’re not wanting in each nook, you may miss a hole-in-the-wall institution that would enrich the sport for you. That’s what practically occurred to me, however fortunately, I did bump into the Lumiose Museum within the northeast nook of town.
For those who’ve performed Pokémon Legends: Arceus, you’re gonna need to cease by this place and take a look at one in all this museum’s reveals. As I handed by, a citizen remarked that it had a showcase of artifacts from the Hisui area, which was sufficient to make me spin on my heel and beeline into the constructing. Arceus gamers will know that Hisui is the earlier title of the Sinnoh area from Diamond and Pearl, and the historic setting of the final Legends recreation. Anybody who performed Arceus to the tip is aware of it ended on a bittersweet cliffhanger that seemingly doomed its isekai’d fundamental character and others to a primitive level in historical past, even whereas they’d associates, household, and Pokémon ready for them within the current day. Nevertheless, the Lumiose Museum’s exhibit might give us no less than just a few particulars about what occurred after Arceus’ conclusion.
When you’re there, head to the second ground and also you’ll see a number of acquainted artifacts from the Hisui area. There are hieroglyphics of legendary Sinnoh Pokémon, hand-crafted early Poké Balls, and some outfits beforehand worn by characters like Arceus’ protagonist, the shock villain Volo, and Commander Kamado, an ancestor of Professor Rowan from Diamond and Pearl. Whereas we don’t see something belonging to him, one of many shows mentions a person named Ingo who would practice folks in Jubilife Village within the methods of Pokémon battles, however long-time followers will know that he was far more than that.
Ingo made his debut in Pokémon Black and White as an elite coach on the Battle Subway alongside his brother Emmet. His look in Arceus indicated he’d been shot by time simply because the protagonist had been, solely to have progressively forgotten his earlier life within the modern-day. It was an extremely darkish and tragic destiny for a Pokémon character, and since Arceus ended with out both of those displaced trainers going again house, followers have spent the previous three years assuming they lived out the remainder of their lives in Hisui and by no means noticed their family members once more. Within the case of Ingo, no less than, that doesn’t appear to be the case.
The diagram of Ingo’s outdated coaching grounds has an accompanying textual content that claims Ingo someday “simply vanished” after telling the folks of Jubilife that it was “time for [him] to return.” Although we haven’t seen Ingo in any video games since, it feels like he did get to go house to his brother and associates finally.
The long-lost time traveler isn’t the one character we get an replace on within the exhibit. Volo, the ancestor of Diamond and Pearl champion Cynthia and a shock non secular zealot intent on usurping Arceus’ energy for himself, additionally will get an epilogue of types in Legends: Z-A. Yow will discover his remaining boss outfit in a glass case subsequent to statues of legendary Pokémon Palkia and Dialga, and one of many museum’s patrons says that the one who wore it donated it to the exhibit personally. He additionally apparently checked out among the sketches on show “with this nostalgic air,” implying that Volo has, one way or the other, endured into the fashionable day. Is he time-traveling? Is he immortal? Will we see his loopy ass once more? I’ve so many new questions.
No matter occurred to Volo and Ingo, it additionally stands to motive that Arceus’ protagonist was possible capable of return to the fashionable day as effectively, although I haven’t been capable of finding any direct point out of their whereabouts. Their uniform is on show right here, although. So a technique or one other, historical past has not forgotten them and what they achieved in Hisui all these years in the past.
