    That is an option. The item Interceptor's Wish allows the use of one's own team as another character. There is a prompt to activate it at the beginning of each character arc. 

     

    However, regardless of whether or not the Interceptor's Wish is used there is no PC in the other character arcs. 

    If you've used the Interceptor's Wish was used and the team you have is just not cutting it, you might need to revert back to a save that's prior to the event and start it over with a new team or try using Erin's team. 

     

    I used all of the other character's teams. It's limiting and frustrating, and if I ever did it again I'd probably go with the Interceptor's Wish on this one but it is possible or it wouldn't even be an option. 

    I used all the characters teams just because i figured their team is better optimized to deal with certain opponents, and I was not wrong. since there is no PC you cant change which mons you have so if you use interceptor wish and have kinda not good mons for etc Angie youre much more screwed than with Erins team. And yeas i beat it on intense pretty easily

    Hi guys! I wanted to make a follow-up post regarding some of my theories. I've just replayed the entire game, and there were a lot of changes in the pre-v13 story that took me off guard. I think the devs have done such an amazing job, and things are starting to become increasingly clear [heh] to me with the additional context. 

     

      Hide contents

    I have changed my mind substantially on this topic upon replaying the game. I don't think Melia is a combination of Melanie and Maria anymore... I think she's a combination of Meloetta and Maria. Seeing as with the new update, Meloetta has been brought into the story (specifically concerning Anathea's family), it just makes more sense to me. It ties in better with the themes in Jenner's research exploring Pokemon and their morality. As a character, I think it makes sense to me as well. It's tough to corroborate ~vibes~, but Melia has always seemed really sing-songy in the way that Meloetta seems to be. She has also insisted that she feels she is not Maria. This could also explain her Genesis Syndrome--why she's the only one out of the four children who is unable to fully function with the Archetype in her body--because she isn't fully Anathea's child. 

     

    So then where does this leave Melanie? I think Melanie is also part Meloetta--but not part Maria. This is solely based off of the character's name, so I could be 100% wrong. But if Melia is a fusion of Meloetta and Maria, then it would follow that Melanie is a fusion of Meloetta and... Anie? The big question that this theory presents is the identity of this half. There are no characters that I can think of with the name Anie. The closest to that would be Anathea. However, the age of Melanie does not line up with the age that Anathea would be in the corrupted alternate timeline. Not to mention the fact that, as far as we know, Anathea would still be dead in this alternate timeline. Another character whose name it could be is Ana/A.N.A.

     

    Up until now, I had believed that the android A.N.A. was based off of Ana, the person whose grave sits outside of the A-name kids' old house in Zone Zero/Hiyoshi. It makes sense because of the names, and the fact that we know A.N.A.'s appearance is based off of that of a specific person. It also supports the fact that you can play as a character with the same sprite as Ana if you use a secret passcode at the beginning of the game. It implies that Ana was also at the house somehow. [sidenote: I still need to play through v13 with my Ana account but I'm stuck on the beast that is Melia and her quasi-gym battle in the beginning... So I'm not sure if there are any differences to the way v13 plays out if you are playing as Ana yet. If i play through and things change then I might make another follow-up post.] There are some issues with this, however. For one, Ana is supposed to be deceased before the Storm even hit Aevium. Would is be possible for Crescent to accidentally gather pieces of her soul? Seeing as she had been deceased for the longest and already buried? Another issue is on the topic of A.N.A. Her data recollections implied that she comes from a time or dimension without Pokemon or nature. In this new chapter, it has been revealed that the Den of Souls is an ancient Garufan stronghold, and that this civilization faced the loss of nature and Pokemon. This is setting up the theory that ANA was raised in this civilization. This feels out of left field, and kind of derails the previous theory of A.N.A. having ties to Ana. I'm still not sure what to think about all of this. 

     

    EDIT: This literally just came to me after posting this, but perhaps Melanie IS still the combination of Meloetta and Maria, just like Melia. We don't know why Melia has her name, but there's a good chance that Team Xen gave it to her, considering the fact that they were involved with placing her with Jenner. Melia makes sense for a person who is the literal combination of Meloetta+Maria. We know that Melanie is under the care of someone else in the alternate corrupted timeline... so who's to say this wasn't Indriad? What I'm getting at is--what if Melanie is Meloetta+Marianette? It's not a perfect match, but technically Marianette could be shortened to Annie or something of the like. I think it's def a possibility to consider at least. This also explains why Melia was able to overlap with Melanie without incident.

    I am more certain than ever about this theory. When Nim first appears in Sashila before Alexandra and Damien, she seems like she is in the middle of saying something. "[Player]... watch out!  ...Huh? W-where am I? Hazuki... Anju... Where am I- AGH!! ... I??????" If she was just the manifestation of Storm-9, then why would she be telling you to watch out? Why would she be asking for Hazuki and Anju? I believe that at some point, you go back in time again and make it to the end of that dungeon, and that you are part of that final battle with Nymiera, Hazuki, Anju, Indriad, and the Storm. We know Hazuki's fate, and we know that somehow Anju is captured and held prisoner in Chrysalis Manor before turning into Angie (the details couldn't be fuzzier). Perhaps while she was telling you to watch out, Nymiera was hit by an attack that somehow turned her into Nim. And Nim is the fusion of Storm-9 and Nymiera's soul. 

    This also then lead me think that Nim/Nymiera could possibly be the author of that mysterious diary in Kugearen City. As a refresher, it states:

     

    "No matter how many times I try... I find myself in this loop of failure. But I must not fail. If I fail this means the end of humanity as we know it. That wretched old fool has created the catalyst to end the world as we know it. I’ve seen it. I’ve seen the horror this world will be known to. I shall stop this at any cost. Even if it costs the lives of myself and my friends. The one who will save us all. I have seen them as well. Their name was-" *Madame X appears and takes journal*

     

    It is my personal belief that the person she is talking about in the end is you. I think that it is quite possible that Nim is the one stuck in the time loop. She starts off as Nim in Sashila, not knowing who she is, completing her journey and re-learning her identity, making it back to that dungeon to try to change things only to have it happen again. Over and over again. 

    This is a pretty weak theory though as there is still not much information to back it up, and there's a ton of competing possibilities that can't be ruled out. This one just makes a lot of sense to me personally. 

     

     

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     

    If you made it to the end, thank you for reading! Please let me know if you have any thoughts pertaining to any of this, I'd love to hear what you think! (even if it proves me 100% dead wrong lol)

    The mystery of this game has haunted me for years now, and it's getting so exciting now that things are finally starting to fall into place. Again, huge shoutout to all the devs, especially Jan and the story-writers, for this absolute masterpiece. 

     

    Thats a lot to read but I like your theories. I agree that Nim is actually Nimyera and that we have to return to past 1 more time. However I think that Melia is not fused Maria with Meloetta

    Spoiler

    I think during the Indriad/Vitus did something that archetype from Maria/Mariannete got separated from her creating 2 counterparts: Melia and Madame X. Madame X might be the part without archetype to needs to have this specially made armor to keep her alive cause she would die from consequences of separating from the archetype. Armor was probably made by Nastasia who blames herself for not being able to help her and prevent this and thats why she is in team Xen and following Madame X, and never gets punished for unauthorized missions. Also HQ of team Xen is in rejuvenation CO. of course there is a theory 2 about her and that is that Xara and Jean or should I say Kieran and Clear created Madame X armor from the machine in amethyst cave, and when you get there it says that it is missing core component 1, which in my opinion might be black box, so black box + that machine might be madame X, just my thoughts

    It's possible something happens in the future and she's sent back? That's kind of the impression I got, at least. I don't think it's happened yet, as IIRC she said she was aware of her time being turned to stone, and I don't recall other points where she could be sent back at.

    She also mentions Anju and Hazuki right after so she must have been from the PAST, which means she most probably IS corrupted Nymiera

    This is something that is bugging me from v10. We battle with Venam to chose a Ribbon color. This time I chose Red ribbon and while Melia does usally wear Red ribbon sometimes she wears blue on as well. I would just think this as a bug but seeing how this bug hasnt been fixed since v10 I feel like there might be some story significance on it. Vivian also mentions that there are actually 5 people who time travelled so maybe the 5th one was Melia who actually got a blue ribbon. What do you guys think about this?

    I always thought 5th one was Madame X?

  6. Remember the flashback when Variya calls our past character Adrest? And that she is happy when he finally calls her mother. Now I have a theory that the world was reset 2 times! 1st time our MC reset the world and got Adrest in him but failed to make anything better. The flashback is from after 1st reset. And 2nd reset someone else did it after Adrest tried to do it by himself after Variya made him stronger by making him interceptor, probably Kieran and Clears boss so we dont know anything that happened cause someone else reset instead of us.

    The entire situation was extremely confusing. To my understanding, the MC is a combination of the Interceptor (the player), Adrest (perhaps the "being from another world" since the world had to be reset for him to emerge), and the souls of all the available MC's (with the chosen character being the dominant one). Considering Ana is playable with the correct code, I wonder how she fits into all this?

    spoiler alert: ANA actually has interceptor mode

    I'd like to add to this discussion.  I'm gonna dump a lot of info here  and maybe we can all piece something together. I do believe in the alt universe theory but we just don't know where in the timeline all of this happens.

     

    In the beginning of the prologue, you can find a book as Maria that says Kugeran City is under construction or "is near completion" or something like that. If we assume this is in the same timeline as the main story and not an alt universe, then this should've been before the family even moved to Marble Mansion. When talking to Indriad as Maria, he says "Oh hello, Marian-" (Marianette) but cuts off and says "Maria", which means that he already had planned out all of the events that will follow. 

     

    From the flashback of Anathea talking to the witch about the love spell, we know that she was already aware of Indriad's abuse on her, but in this scene she has black hair. I assume she hasn't had kids yet in this scene, so we assume she hasn't had kids yet. The black hair was also recorded in past Hiyoshi hospital records as she had a key shaped scar (Archetype removal probably). Now it is possible that her hair was dyed black as Archetype drainage doesn't remove the user still having access to its power and some features due to having the Archetype stay permanent, such as the blonde hair. Anyways its weird to say her black hair (archetype removed) was before her 4 kids since in Erin's flashback Anathea had blonde hair. Like why would Indriad re-inject the Archetype in??? Makes no sense really. So possibly its just a hair dye and maybe the witch was located near Hiyoshi city (pure speculation soz)

     

    You'd think that the time line doesn't make sense since in the prologue Maria was treated as the only child, despite the fact we know this would've happened after Erin Alice Allen were thrown into the unknown dimension. The fact there's no black Gardevoir here also suggests the prologue happened after the events of Marble Mansion. So once again this contradicts the book in the prologue that says Kugearan was still being built.

     

    Thinking of it this way, it logically doesn't add up for the prologue to be after the Marble Mansion events (since Anathea is already dead), or for the prologue to be before the Marble Mansion events (why is only Maria here?), making the prologue either an alternative reality/dream etc. The Mariannete Mansion is also completely different in layout to the Marble Mansion, and seems to be larger in size overall, with more gates, more garden, etc. Indirad in this Mansion also recognised the player, which means it is possibly consistent with the past (but that doesn't make sense because we know the Chrysola hotel is now what stands upon the Marble Mansion),  so again the Mariannete Mansion where we get our 3rd  gym badge is 100% from an alternative universe. The fact the gym badge had the same chip and was registered as a normal badge fits well with this theory.

     

    Now the most intriguing part of all of this is that you find a book about "How to stop child abuse" or something similar in the hut during the blacksteeple arc, which had the name Anathea written on it. Currently, there is no evidence from the game that can link this book being at this location to any other plot point. Sure, this means that this book would've been in Anathea's possession while the children were with them (or just Maria), but then why is it near Blacksteeple? Especially since Anathea already died, and honestly from the  past arcs there's a very low chance she would've made it there herself. Well, unless its another alternative universe situation. We know that there is a second Blacksteeple Castle in the sky near the one we've been too, protected by a barrier. Perhaps this is a way to an alternative dimension? (Speculation again)

     

    From Rune, we learn about Anathea and the witch. (this means it could've happened in any timeline or alt universe)

    From us, we learn about Anathea's records in Hiyoshi hospital (she was admitted earlier than when the MC fainted), so Anathea has been out alone by herself. But isn't Hiyoshi far from Kugearan? How'd she get there without a boat like Anju's? This part I think is the missing link (because this must've happened in the MC's timeline)

    Prologue: Anathea was alive but then we don't know what happened to her right before she was  brought to the  altar by Indriad

    Past Marble Mansion: She must've met the MC and Venam after witnessing Erin Alice  Allen thrown into the unknown dimension, then dies

    Book in Blacksteeple hut: No link to any of above events

     

    One thing I find interesting is in the prologue, Indirad sacrificing Anathea and Maria was for them to "avoid  the calamity", so this could be signifying a world reset or an alternative universe travel.

    Maria staring at the mirror remembering what just happened to her could also be one of those moments like Mosely where she remembers the events that occured in the alternative version of her in another universe. Same thing could be said about  Mariannette remembering her identity as Maria, although I guess that whole are was in an alternative universe so idek anymore haha

     

    The main question that still exists, is even if there were alternative universes, how do characters from those realities impact on the one MC's currently in? Maybe the soul stone relates somehow? Maybe the memory overlapping thing like Mosely? Maybe realities taking over others (such as Mariannette Mansion tress and bushes materialising in Gearan City during the arc)? Could you overlap with characters like this? Imagine if  Melia came with Venam and MC to the mansion, what would she remember? 

     

    Another thing is Indriad has never seen Melia. HMMM I wonder how both would react? 

     

     

     

     

     

     

    I have a theory that world didnt reset 1 but 2 times because MC has Adrest with him and doesnt remember the reset. So MC might do 1st reset but 2nd reset could be done by someone like Madame X or Kieran and Clears boss cause they know everything. Also i just remembered the scene in Blakeory Atheneum where Erin asks Melia that if she is sure that she is simply traveling to past with time crystals? hmmm

    Just started the game a couple days ago, and I got to route 2. I found a weird spot that is 4 spaces away from the "Welcome to Route 2" sign at the train area. When you stand there and click A, a circle of sparkles go out around you with a audio chime, then nothing else. Is this some kind of mechanic that's later in the game or something else???? (Picture for reference)

    It is same for me on my file idk what this is about but its weird
