>>52767991Regional professor sends you video calls from the Big Magic Hole in the center of the region.
Regional professor is also the mom/dad to one of the main story NPCs who basically ran off to do science in the Big Magic Hole
When you go to the Big Magic Hole at the end of the game, professor's been dead a long time and you're being led around by the a robot that looks like the professor/ has their memories.
Big Magic Hole has a "time machine" in a giant magic crystal room that also leaks magic crystal energy into robo-professor.
Big Magic Hole "time machine" is allegedly summoning pokemon from the past/future, but these pokemon's designs can be found in a notebook that the professor was obsessed with.
Frequent allusions to the past/future being the late professor's "dream."
Sorry if I'm doing a piss poor job of summarizing. It's a weird endplot.
