History Trivia / PokemonLegendsArceus

** The PowerCreep that Arceus suffered over the years since it's debut (most notably by the likes of both Mega Mewtwos, Mega Rayquaza and Ultra Necrozma) spawned a theory that the obtainable "Arceus" is [[NotHimself not the true Arceus]], or at least not it's true form. [[spoiler:The ultimate final quest where the "Arceus" join the player's team after defeating it, pretty much confirms that the "Arceus" you can use in battles is merely a fragment of the real Arceus, whose true form is highly likely to be [[YouCantGraspTheTrueForm incomprehensible by mortals]].]]

** A number of fans guessed that [[spoiler:Kamado and/or Volo would be antagonists in some capacity while Cyllene would remain a heroic figure, as a twist on their descendants' roles in ''Diamond and Pearl'' (Kamado explicitly being Professor Rowan's ancestor and Cyllene being Cyrus' ancestor, while Volo is heavily implied to be Cynthia's ancestors). Sure enough, Kamado and Volo turned out to be the game's major human antagonists, while Cyllene stays heroic from start to finish.]]

* RefittedForSequel: The infamous [[spoiler:unreleased Azure Flute]] from ''VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl'' is finally usable officially.

** Since the starter Pokémon's evolutions were absent in the game's trailers even though they're pre-existing Pokémon, people predicted that they would have regional forms or brand new evolutions. The "Hisuian. Final. Starter. Evolutions." video revealed that while they have the same mid-stage evolutions, their final evolutions are different.
