Kalos Trio Theory/Headcanon

This theory is based on the current "Teraleak" information, so open under the cut at your own risk, yada yada yada.

So, the 'Teraleak' includes a full telling of an early version of the Pokemon World's creation myth. Unlike the myth we know of "Egg -> Arceus -> Dialoga, Palkia, Giratina -> Lake Trio -> Arceus takes a nap," this telling goes far more in depth. To paraphrase from my understanding of it:

From the churning chaos and nothing, an egg emerged. The egg hatched into the Orignal One, Arceus, and the fragments of egg shell became Giants. These Giants tried to kill Arceus, but it grew too strong and too fast for them, and Arceus eventually killed all of its attackers. Too injured from the battle, Arceus gathered the Giants' corpses and poured its blood into them, creating Dialga and Palkia in its own image. The Original One proceeds to take a nap.

Palkia's sound lets space grow, while Dialga's steps let time flow. Now being the only two things concious in the universe, Palkia and Dialga fall in love(?) and create the Lake Trio, who bring their respective aspects to the young universe.

Palkia and Dialga gift the Lake Trio a seed and command them to look after it. The Trio pray, growing the tree bigger and bigger, but it grows out of control, taking up the space of everything. The Trio are forced to knock it down, where the Tree of Life then splinters into three pieces.

Three other deities, those of the earth, waters, and air, (One toasty godzilla, one large whale, and one snekky boi respectivelly, to be precise) take these three pieces and create the land, seas, and skies.

Beta-Giratina is born from Rayquaza's shadow as it holds up the skies.

Now obviously, Giratina has been changed to have been created with Dialga and Palkia, rather than as a dark spectre of Rayquaza, but that got me thinking: what if that role went to someone else? Not that exact train of thought didn't really get me anywhere, but it did lead me to the idea of the Kalos Trio being related to this Tree of Life. Not only are they based on norse creatures who resided in Yggdrasil, the Norse Tree of Life/World Tree, but they perfectly encapsulate the Tree's ideals, and a growing universe.

Palkia and Dialga brought space and time. The Lake Trio brought beauty, emotion and joy to the universe. The Weather Trio brought the world as we know it to the universe. But what is yet to be mentioned? Life.

I propose that Xerneas, Yveltal, and Zygarde were the gods this tree created. Xerneas, to oversee its beginning. Yveltal, to oversee its end. And lastly Zygarde, to oversee the journey between. A somewhat more flimsy connection is that I believe the Kalos Trio and the Weather Trio are the only actual red/blue/green legendary trios.

Its possible that left unchecked, the Kalos Trio are why the Tree of Life grew so out of control. Xerneas flooding it with life, Yveltal's death causing it to smother everything else, and Zygarde keeping it orderly enough for the process to run unopposed. The Weather Trio, in turn, create the wider world so the Kalos trio and their powers have an open, safe expanse to flourish in.

MORE SUBMAS BETA SPRITES

figured out how to look through the repo itself and not just builds and found 4 more submas beta sprites!!! first two here.

these two are from february 2010, they're the the earliest non placeholder sprites.

and these two are from march 2010. interestingly their final sprites were also added on the same day.

we now have a total of six beta sprites! and there may be even more hidden elsewhere in the files. this was all in the folder labeled "fldmmdl" in the repo, btw!

A lost gem, the beta opening of BW, including a look at the Seven Sages, baby-faced Ghetsis without his monocle, the Shadow Triad, and additional shots of N!
