Looker isn't a faller
Fallers were caused by wormholes
The guy from gen 5 isn't a faller either

He is still stuck in Hisui and he fucking died. Emmet is the only one there.

Lumiose City literally has a Battle Subway painting in the museum. They're probably just playing the long game for ZA.

Doesn't matter if it's caused by Ultra Wormhole, Hoopa Rings or Spacetime Distortion, there's a narrative consistency in the fact people who are unwittingly thrust through spacetime end up with amnesia.

Looker doesn't seem to be a faller in SM, however he appeared amnesiac outta nowhere in ORAS

Where he arrives carrying the only mega stone for a gen V Pokemon. I'd be absolutely shocked if this is never addressed again.

I get the feeling Gen 7 went through a lot of rewrites and ended up leaving a lot of little threads that were meant to be more. like the ultra beasts mirroring human characters was definitely meant to go somewhere at some point, and I suspect there was more going on with the Type:Null/Arceus connection too.
and the whole Zygarde plot just screams cut content from XY third versions

a counterpoint to that is that pokemon often designs major characters to look like pokemon, N and zoroark and cynthia and lucario as two prominent examples

I wouldn't because Game Freak is shit at utilizing the lore they have made
The most recent example is the whole Area Zero plot we got in SV.
A very old one albeit very niche one is Spenser having tatoos of Kyogre's veins or something(though that was explained in the manga I think)

that's true I guess. but with the alternate dimension aspect and Lusamine kind of merging with Nihelgo, I get the feeling there was originally more to that. could just be a red herring though.
Idk, SM's plot always felt weird to me, like they had a lot of different ideas in development but didn't quite know how to tie them all together.

That was the connection.
If anything what was missing from the null plotiline was it actually doing something about UBs, even if just jobbing.

yeah I know that was the connection, it just felt like it could have gone somewhere, been developed a bit more? idk. SM threw out all these little threads that felt like they should have been more substantial than they were. maybe that was the point and they were never meant to be resolved but it feels unfinished to me

idk I think Lillie looking like Nihilego was pretty heavily implied to be because of Lusamine's Nihilego fetish

But to me the next Legends being set in Kalos makes a lot more sense if they were choosing that easter egg to resolve the submas plot, like how they retconned the Hearthome Church painting to be made by some PLA ancestor. And the subway painting existing would imply either Emmet was in Kalos and didn't have amnesia, or that they both met up and recovered their memories by the end.
let me cope

Ingo was in pla only to justify the battle subway being cut in the inevitable bw demake and you know it.

Hey now, don't forget that they also wanted to make a jojo reference
But even if they don't resolve the plot because they want to pull another N, would they really miss out on fujobucks by not putting Emmet in ZA?

I thought it was assumed that Lusamine dressed herself and Lillie to look like Ultra Beasts. Although Guzma looking like Xurkitree still makes no sense since I assumed he dressed like that before meeting Lusamine.

There really is nowhere else to go.
If anything the fact that they brought up a mythical from a few gens ago at all is a lot given they usually write gens standalone.
