>>34138490>that first part of the post That aside and going into your Archie and Maxie part, the RR episode is still about their game universes, Ruby for Maxie and Sapphire for Archie. As for them remembering defeating the other, it's because they had a pokémon fight before one of them would awake the legendary. iirc this dosn't happen in RS but it DOES happen in ORAS, so I guess in a world where no protagonist exists, they fight their rival instead of the kid.
