    The statue... I think your correct tho... If I remember correctly in diamond and pearl Cynthia's grandmother talked about the statue being a mixture of dialga and palkia which represented space and time. We can actually hypothesis many things. (BTW, this is assuming one in two things, 1. Nintendo actually planned all these things from the beginning or 2. Nintendo saw a chance to link the stories and took it.
    Escape... Escape could refer to many things, could it be from the fighting between dialga and palkia? Could it be giratina escaping from his dimension? Or that unknowns weren't able to restrict the diety pokemon anymore(the unknowns acted as chains in one of the movie) and therefore escape... Anyway, it's 5 am and I have no idea what I'm typing. Good night.

    It very well could be referencing the statue in Eterna City. If you take an Arceus from DPP into HGSS, it unlocks a special event where you take the Arceus into a place called the Sinjoh Ruins, which is in a mountain range between Sinnoh and Johto. There, you can choose for your Arceus to make an egg for a Palkia, Dialga, or Giratina, and it uses Unown to create them. So we have a definite connection between Unown and the Sinnoh legendaries.

    I love the Ruins of Alph and I love the Unowns. Each Unown form is simple, but when you take all the Unown together then they are complex. It is how they vary and represent the letters which makes them fun. Unown are not meant to be viewed alone. The fun part is how you can make collection quests around them, predict which Hidden Power they might have depending on their shape, spell with them as they are Pokémon and a font at once, and see how the different letters are represented as Unown. When you view one single Unown, he seems boring; but when you consider them all at once, then they are exiting.
    The Unowns designs are great. They look friendly yet so mysterious and alien that they are still somewhat scary and off-putting. Their shapes allow them to be used to communicate messages in an eerie way which endows the Ruins of Alph with a sense of eeriness that really fits well with the sense of mystery. No other Pokémon can do that likes this, no other Pokémon can set that great mood that the Ruins of Alph has.
    Unown is one of my top few favourite Pokémon. I like them a lot. Printing them is amazing and a great award for finishing this awesome mission in the awesome ruins.
    Also, when you are done catching Unowns, you may also be able to catch Smeargle. They appear in the Ruins of Alph, as well. They seem to like to write sentences and words on the floors and walls and to make drawings of ancient Pokémon on sliding stones.

    I remember getting all the Unown as a child in my Gold version. Renamed each one to its letter and stored them all in my Boxes in the Pokemon Centre. But when I found out it was just to unlock printing messages with Unown characters.... I was pretty miffed. But, at least I had completed this tedious task.

    Hello, I have do this. If you go with your Arceus in the ruins you'll teleport in another country ( now I really don't remeber which). So, you can find in an house Camilla and she will bring you in One ruin. There are 3 simbols: with your Arceus you can summon Giratina or Dialga or Palkia ( pokemon of shadow, time and spaces if i'm right). BUT REMEMBER: YOU CAN SUMMON ONLY ONE OF THESE AND YOU CAN GO IN THIS RUIN ONLY ONE TIME IN ALL THE GAME. SO CHOOSE WELL WHICH POKEMON YOU WILL.

    As someone who was 7 in 97, I have an actual memory that of this.
    Red and blue were behind the times, a lot of people played them on a GBC in Europe because that was already out when most kids were getting them their copies of red and blue.
    So when gold and silver came out, the colour wasn’t a big deal, especially after yellow. In fact, the graphics of gen 2 really did look 15 years out of date. The n64 and ps1 were on a totally different level and only made the Zelda style graphics look ancient.
    We played and loved these games because it was Pokemon in the year 2000! We adored it. Our adventure was continued through the new game! THAT was the big deal. As was the game boy printer actually...

I also thing the statue caused the fire that made the elemental dogs.

    What’s interesting is that the Ruins of Alph is actually relevant in the original Lost Silver creepypasta, it’s just not in the original playthrough story, rather is instead one of the alternate paths the author added on to the story. So the Lost Silver in the thumbnail is surprisingly relevant.
    The Ruins of Alph in the creepypasta, basically function similarly to the original game, except you encounter the Unowns in the overworld with no battles and all the tile puzzles have Unown symbols on them. You also gotta keep collecting more until you progress into others areas of the creepypasta.

    I like the headcanon that the Unown were creations of Arceus to communicate with people. A single Unown is weak, just like a single letter of the alphabet is meaningless. But you put a bunch of them together and new meanings are found. The people created two shrines to Arceus to communicate with it. Alph in Johto and Sinjoh in unknown regions, likely somewhere between Johto and Sinnoh.
    And the third movie somewhat ties into that idea, where a swarm of Unown are able to reshape reality, much like Arceus could, perhaps as a residual amount of power. After all, it can't be a coincidence that Arceus is able to warp time and space, as well as create new life entirely, in HeartGold and SoulSilver if you bring it to the Ruins of Alph. Sinjoh is a combination of Sinnoh and Johto (although the Japanese has the name Shinto, so this argument may not hold), and both are the only places where they exist outside of remakes. And let's not forget the key thing: Arceus is the Alpha Pokémon. Sure, that indicates he's the beginning, you know, Pokémon god, but at this point, there's so much circumstantial evidence that an Alpha Pokémon communicating with alphabet Pokémon just makes sense to me.
    I guess we'll just have to wait another week for Legends Arceus to see if this is true.

    Dear TooManyMoths,
    First-off I would love to say I really enjoyed your video!
    I think you're doing a wonderful job....
    BUT! I don't really think the writings on the floors are in anyway related to Arceus.
    Or even that much of a mystery...
    Did you realize that there are 4 puzzles at the Ruins of Alph,
    picturing; Kabuto, Aerodactyl, Ho-oh & Omanyte ...
    Each of which lead to one of the following descriptions;
    Kabuto - "Our words shall remain here for the ages"
    Kabuto obviously being a fossil pokemon leaving it's tracks through the ages
    Aerodactyl - "Thus we shall erect a pokemon statue outside"
    Now which pokemon [Aerodactyl] reminds you of a "statue" it being a large rock type pokemon...
    Ho-Oh - "We humans must learn to walk in harmony with them"
    Now this one seemed like the most cryptic; since it has been said that ho-oh is only to reveal himself to those worthy.
    and finally....
    Omanyte - "They possess great insight and refuse the outside world"
    What is more closed of from the world than a pokemon which lives in a shell.
    So it would seem the message;s correspond more with the fossils from gen-1 than anything from gen-42...
    But then again;
    Our words shall remain here for the ages,
    Thus we shall erect a pokemon statue outside.
    We humans must learn to walk in harmony with them,
    They possess great insight and refuse the outside world.
    It does remain a wonderful world, that of pokemon.

      @Snivy-sl1pn 5 лет назад

      Considering Johto and Sinnoh are closely related. It could be that Alph's message predates sinnoh myths and folk stories. If so, it could be referring to the statue in Eterna City. (the stories are below if you click read more)
      SInnoh Reigon myth:
      "Long ago, when Sinnoh had just been made, Pokémon and humans led separate lives.
      That is not to say they did not help each other. No, indeed they did.
      They supplied each other with goods, and supported each other.
      A Pokémon proposed to the others to always be ready to help humans.
      It asked that Pokémon be ready to appear before humans always.
      Thus, to this day, Pokémon appear to us if we venture into tall grass."
      Sinnoh Folk Story 3:
      "There once were Pokémon that became very close to humans.
      There once were humans and Pokémon that ate together at the same table.
      It was a time when there existed no differences to distinguish the two."
      (The Japanese version of this story mentions that pokemon did marry humans)
