- Just for full disclosure my copy of #NewPokemonSnap was #Gifted by #Pokemon company international so thank you to them!
New Pokemon Snap has had me thinking about the hidden secret lore of Pokemon and if there were any connections to the main Pokemon game series and sure enough the Illumina Pokemon tell a story that dates back thousands of years. Lets take a look!

Volcarona’s Pokédex entry about it lighting up the world after volcanic debris blocked out the sun is beginning to make some more sense now, huh. Extraterrestrial impactors are known to trigger tectonic events after all.
Yeah... Could be legend drift. People passing on the stories of the Lentil region Volcarona and misplacing where it happened.
Omg that'd make so much sense! Cause I was thinking: A meteorite shower is still a meteorite shower
If it made a crater in Hoenn, then easily it'd block out the Sun for several years or decades with dust and debris. But with Volcarona providing light, it'd help remedy this theory
My only question is *when* did Volcarona provide that to the humans and Pokémon species? Did that entry say "2,000 years ago"? 🤔
@@SilveeYT it doesn’t give a precise date, which pretty much gives us whatever time you want lol. I always thought it was meant to reference the K-Pg but I wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve made it so it’s this Volcarona that did it within human history
I really like the idea that it was Jirachi’s powers that helped Rayquaza mega evolve for the first time. It really makes the whole situation make sense.
Also, Xerneas’s spirit-ball form reminds me of a theory I did myself about another side-game, where I think that super mystery dungeon’s Xerneas is the reincarnation of the games’ villain.
It’s been confirmed Rayquaza has an organ that produces energy equivalent and similar to Mega Evolution. As the weather trio have abilities that allow them to absorb natural energy considering they represent nature and weather
Ever since X and Y they're really creating odd cross region pasts that all link up or just happen to occur near the same time. I does make one wonder if they have something in mind for all of it.
Aw thank you, everyone, for the love on my last video and for 239,000 Subscribers! :D
👁👄👁👌
This video is amazing! Thanks for this!
Wartortle lives for 10,000 years so maybe xerneas didn’t even need to give them eternal life,it doesn’t really matter either way though
I want to see a full Pokemon Timeline now. That'd be awesome. This was really great!
That video is allready in the channel though maybe in need of an updating ^_^
@@BirdKeeperToby I'll have to go hunt it down, thank you.
One year later, it appears this comment aged like fine wine.
@@BirdKeeperToby the meteors fuel with infinity cause next shower be more destruction than normal. explain how one meteor cause chaos the full Lental region.
The Ultimate Weapon sure also looks a lot like a Crystal Bloom when it’s unfolded and activated, not that that necessarily connects anything. Just a cool coincidence.
It also kinda looks like a Celesteela closed up
Adding to the Rita stuff, while yeah the giant white tree is apparently from that movie, it made me think of the White Forest from Unova first
Also, with Vincent, it's possible his Braviery from the art of him isn't from Lental, possibly it's his partner (maybe he's Unovan?)
But yeah, just a concept
For Rayquaza, it's possible the reason it can mega-evolve is the eating of the meteor fragments, but the cause of it mega-evolving was the wishing (acting as a Keystone somehow)
what he means about the ilumina pokemon being more affected is that the pokemon who were more affected have become the ilumina pokemon, it's just worded awkwardly
There are illumina pokémon that don’t need orbs in the game. For example, there’s swanna in the night park who can be found glowing naturally
True. Thought about that instantly when he mentioned they need Illumina orbs to grow.
Whether it's Kirby, Zelda, Fire Emblem, or Pokemon, you know I gotta watch a lore video about it.
As I was streaming the game I commented how the Illumina thing (Life energy as Professor Mirror said) is very similar to the Kalos thing, and the Life/Infinity Energy could be connected to that as well! Loved the theory! Didn't even know Xerneas was a final boss!
You're a great inspiration for my channel! Expectaly theory-crafting! I even have one on Melmetal (connected to what you said today, if you want to check it out!)
Keep up the good work and don't ever change!
aw thnak you so much mate :D I'll check your channel out :D
@@BirdKeeperToby WOW! So that's how words can make someone's day! Thank you!
@@notsoAceTrainer I subscribed
@@jacoblamasney241 Thank you SO MUCH!
Wait... if the meteor shower happens roughly every thousand years, and the last one was roughly 1000 years ago, then shouldn't there be a meteor shower sometime in the modern day?
There is, in the credits of the Delta Episode the Player and May/Brendan go and see it.
8:08 It’s more simple than you think Toby; Mega Evolution and Mega Stone(s) are not the same thing. I’m Emphasizing on the words Evolution and Stones here; the Meteorite/Mega Stone acts as a conduit for Mega Evolution to trigger a transformation of the body, with the people’s wish being the trigger for the Evolution to happen.
Finally, someone who knows the lore. 🥲
This just makes me want the game even more
ayeeeenjoy :D
Then get it
Me too but I can't buy those games or the switch
Some of the islands of the Lental Region match up perfectly, or nearly, with Super Mystery Dungeon's Sea of Wonders. It's mostly in shape. The ice island matches up perfectly (not in location or orientation though) and there's both a volcano in the north and a Xerneas tree, though the one in Super Mystery Dungeon is much, much bigger. Hmmm, the southern part of the Air Continent resembles Kanto and Johto... Also, the Tellur Meteorite is a reference to Pokken Tournament.
I'm guessing that the bravery is Vinny's partner or they migrated to the snowy island.
That's what i was thinking, they migrated because they're on the jungle
They’re eagles they can just travel anywhere they please
The loyal bird kept up his partner’s mission over 100 years.
In unova 3,000 years ago: King Harmonia unites the warring tribes of Unova under one banner.
2,500 years ago: King Harmonia's descendants the twin King's have disagreeing views causing the Original Dragon to split.
Is it possible that devastation caused by a meteorite was an impetus for the unification of Unova?
@@PeterJohnson1289 That is a possibility but based in translations from the Abyssal Ruins it seems that King Harmonia tamed the Original Dragon and used it to subdue the Forces of Nature that were causing havoc across the Unova region.
Does this mean Deoxys and Eternatus are related? Essentially that both were cataclysmic entities within the meteor that comes to the Pokemon world every 1,000 years, but Deoxys is a mutated Eternatus from the energy of a lazer.
The one in Galar landed in a meteorite 20,000 years prior to Sword and Shield. Every 1,000 years there's meteors, so probably.
what i liked about this video is that at the beginning, i was theorizing that Illumina Pokemons are immortal pokemons and i was waiting Toby to mention that which he did at the end part and man my goosebumps was unbearable, it made my eyes teary!! I hope we'll see illumina pokemons in future games, which appear as rare as shiny mons
Aw Yey ^_^
What if the comet and the meteor shower are the same thing? After all, a comet does have a tail of debris that could shower down onto the Pokemon Planet.
I'd not given Captain Vincent much thought before this theory video and I'm not sure if the timelines match up or not but... could Vincent be the professor that brought Cyndaquil, Oshawott and Rowlet to feudal Sinnoh? 🤔
Ohh how cool that would Be!
Vince was around the lentil region 100 yrs ago. So prolly no feudal connections unless some divine involvement by dialga happened...
That would only have made sense if all those lines where in the Lental region, but they aren't. Only one of those is in the game.
@@nickdentoom1173 Agreed, plus I don't think the timelines match up. I was too keen to join the dots 😅
@@meiji_tom Which is totally fine, its just speculation after all.
Just watched MunchingOrange talking about the best and worst parts of New Pokemon Snap and then my other favourite Poketuber does a video about it........ Your my other favourite.
I hate comments, they're hard and not easy to write
awwww ty :3
I can see that but it also feels like there is a connection to the totem pokemon from Alola
I would love to see evil Regis : Regidark,Regitoxin or Regipoison, Regifight, Regizen. I think light and dark Regis would be a fun concept
What would the differences between regitoxin and regipoison be?
Wouldn't regi zen be on the light side like the current ones
@@kg7518 just different names for the same thing haha
@@thecorruptedgamer7032 I would have thought so until regi draco was introduced
If they got their degrees by doing theory videos, I just promoted you from bird keeper to professor now! What do you want your plant-related-name to be? I vote for Professor Perch, because... birds and trees. Lol.
"Koko - Something of the Jungle!"
This can also explain The Darkest Day (the war with AZ). And the run off from the Mega Stone energy could make Gigantamax. I'm curious how Legends Arceus (set in the past) will elaborate on this.
Wow meteors really like aiming for the hoenn region
I really love how New Snap had a lot of love for Gen 6 it makes me happy since Gen 6 is my favorite gen
Oh my god this makes so much sense. Hopefully they expand the lore of the comets, ultimate weapon and the various energies and powers created by them (dynamax, mega evolution, illumina, etc.) in future games
With more and more games, the Pokemon timeline is becoming complete. Similar to how we develop our own history as more and more is discovered
I love this concept of the 1,000 year meteor shower. It would explain so much. I can't remember if it was a theory, interview, or what, but I heard a while ago that the creators were originally going to explain where Pokemon came from, and that the original concept was that real-world animals were still around. (Think the days of the first season of the anime - back in the 90s) They later decided to quit referencing real-world animals and didn't talk about the origins of Pokemon, beyond stuff like Mew and Arceus. I wonder if the meteor shower was intended to be the origin of Pokemon life. It could also explain the vastly different species in different regions. Different species come on the meteor shower each time, so each region has whatever happened to land there or what has migrated since.
Solid theory. I like it. ANOTHER!
Also, *LOOK AT THIS PHOTOGRAPH!*
Ahah ty ^_^
Everytime I do it makes me laugh
I'm pretty much convinced Bandai are pranking any Pokémon fans who know Digimon lore.
They gave the Yggdrasil Pokémon their own Royal Knights.
- One of them is an armour evolution like Magnamon.
- One of them is two acting as one like Omnimon. (Two Digi-Cores, and they can become their illumina forms separately.)
- One is a fusion of other Mon becoming one like Examon. (One Digimon Core, they must be fused to become their illumina form.)
- One of them was fully evolved version of first starter of the third season of Pokémon, equivalent to Gallantmon.
(That just leaves Milotic, who I guess does kinda look like Crusadermon with those ribbons?)
Also, Professor Mirror has goggles in his design... - I feel like Bandai wouldn't let both Yggdrasil and goggles sneak past without them noticing.
Meganium is Gen 2 not 3, that would be Sceptile
@@elemomnialpha Orange Islands was season two. Amusingly that means season three for both involved a major shift since Johto's theme song claimed to be "a whole new world" and Tamers actually was one.
I hope that illumina-knights that comparison.
1:55 Long lost cousins!!?
Iris isn't a orphan anymore!
Well, I mean she would still be.. But she's not 'alone', she has a family! Yay!!
damn, this one actually makes sense!
gives me 2014 pokemon fandom vibes.
New Pokemon Snap is honestly one of the best Pokemon games I've played in a lonngggg time, it has puzzles that I haven't even figured out just yet (Im playing through with no spoilers basically). I was sad when I finished the storyline, kind of hoping they would do something like expansions for the game itself. Or maybe they continue with making similar snap games.
Wondering if you might have some thoughts of the Volcarona lumina 'twins'. They didn't really address the fact there were two of them or even why there might be two..
The phraise is "A picture is worth 1000 words" not "An image tells 1000 stories "
Blah blah blah
Another amazing job Toby
I think there is canonical evidence about some of your theory in the anime, specifically about jirachi and its relation to the crystal blooms. In the Best Wishes part of the anime, towards the end after ash and co are done with the Pokémon league, they take a trip to several islands in the unova region. In one of these episodes, they help a boy in area that's become a waste land. They want to find jirachi in order to revitalize the land and the end of the episode is quite surprising and I feel it supports your theory a bit.
Ooooh this is another fun one! Never thought Jirachi would be somehow involved!
Yeee ^_^
A swarm of meteors that pass the Pokémon world every 1000 years that drop off new Pokémon or mechanics is an amazing theory, and honestly explains a lot.
As expected of Tony, there’s a lot of little details to support it.
I just recently got the New Pokémon Snap and I enjoy the game play. It's amazing and I haven't gotten very far.
First like and comment! Thanks for the continued stellar content, Toby! Love the new style of your content and quality for sure :D
awwwww thnak you for noticing :D
Arceus would be a more appropriate final Illumina Pokemon instead of Xerneas. If you're counting the movies then Arceus is important for the meteor theories as he protected the planet from a meteor shower.
Commenting for the algorithm- you deserve more love!
Today the drip is sauvemente~
Bandai givin us the lore we need
Iirc the Unovan Dragon that split into Reshiram/Zekrom/Kyurem also arrived in Unova on a meteor, which landed in (and created) the Giant Chasm. Just to add to the "powerful Pokemon and world shaping events being linked to meteors" thing in Pokemon. Definitely a recurring detail.
So ...
This makes me wonder about if this game takes place before or after the Kalos game
I enjoyed playing New Pokemon Snap it's fun even though some of the illumina spots are hard.
Very interesting theory, and some great ideas as well. I just have one question. Wasn't the mural at the end of the game showing that the illumina Pokemon existed before the Tellur meteorite, that the illumina Pokemon are older than 2,000 years?
No offense, but you’re getting the Rayquaza lore wrong. Basically, two things are needed to Mega Evolve : a Mega Stone and a strong bond with the trainer. It is explained in ORAS that Rayquaza has equivalents for both of those things, an organ that is able to convert the meteors he swallows (filled with a lot energy) into Mega Evolution energy and the the prayers that were addressed to Rayquaza. That’s also why when YOU Mega Evolve Rayquaza, it says that it reacts to your wishes.
Very good video !
A hundred years late to the party, but I thought that the Crystalblooms looked like the Ultimate Weapon back when I first saw them. Awesome theory, or more like, 10 theories at once. 😁
Holy crap!!!! I just realized the ultimate weapon looks like an illumina flower. I can't remember weather Toby said anything about this in the video, I haven't just watched it, but if not then...I don't know but I think it's interesting.
Bruh all I want is that fresh Steelix shirt
Toby could you do a fun video about what a Pokémon legends game or a game based on the Regis would be and would look like? To me there is so much mystery and lore attached to them that would be so up your ally. I would love to know the full extent of there power etc. I had a cool idea that the forms we’ve known are like there base forms but they could have a crazy awakened form
I may well ^_^ Thank you :D
Miyamoto makes me love bidoof even more
Professor mirror being reformed mirror b. Not speculation. Confirmed ! As far as I’m concerned. Love it !
One thing you seemed to overlook here, comets are giant balls of ice larger than planets. If jiratchi came from a comet, it certainly has nothing to do with the meteorites.
I realized you were wearing Pokémon Shirt!! Love that
This is tangental to the main point of the video, but you mentioned Meltan disappearing 3,000 years ago, and I'm wondering if the king of Kalos used Melmetal to help make his ultimate weapon (because, you know, it makes metal out of nothing), and after the weapon fired, Melmetal (like Eternal Flower Floette) fled in shame for its part in the devastation, and that's why it hasn't been seen until recently.
6:25 Was I the only one who thought it was because the character you play as is an ancestor to the person who originally explored the islands?
You mean descendant
The person who explored the island would be *your* ancestor
Also just have to say this I also agree that all the Pokémon look so good they are so amazing and that intro part was deep
This just makes me think we really need a Legends: Rayquaza game. Toby you might wanna do a video on what that could look like. Imagine it taking place either 1,000 or 2,000 years ago, right before one of the foretold meteor showers, and you ARE actually a young Draconid living at what would eventually become Meteor Falls, maybe a precursor to Fallarbor Town? Maybe instead of your typical Grass/Fire/Water starters, we get choices between Swablu, Bagon, or Trapinch. All three are Hoenn native Pokemon that eventually evolve into powerful final stage Dragon types, and 2/3 have a Mega Evolution, and I imagine a Legends: Rayquaza would explore the lore and origins behind Mega Evolution a ton. Maybe Flygon would even be given a Mega Evolution by this game. Of course, I think using the theme of imported starters from other regions would be fine too, but for the setting of actually being a Draconid, it would be fitting to have Dragon-type starters. Also, alternate title if we're going with mythicals as a theme would be Legends: Jirachi, I think they could easily spin the lore of the Draconids to involve Jirachi, and deeps in the caves of Meteor Falls seems like an appropriate resting place for a Jirachi.
Great video :)
It is impossible for all future pokemon games to look like this
02:24, 02:36, 06:29, 13:54 - Sentiments that have never stopped a single Pokemon theory.
@Bird Keeper Toby
4:00~
They glow and have light-up patterns?
You can throw "Illumina Orbs" at them?...
Illumina || Terrastalize?!?!
(2022)
Ngl it would be so cool if the Pokémon worlds history was ours
“It’s spelt funny, I’m dyslexic, anyways-“
-BirdKeeperToby 2021
I'd love to hear your thoughts on how Lumina energy of at least the Lumina pokemon might connect with Dynamax energy seeing as how both cause the pokemon to emit a glow or aura and the Lumina pokemon seem to be much larger than other pokemon of their species
It would be interesting if this implied that, based on what was in this video if I interpreted it correctly, perhaps Deoxys and AZ's Eternal Flower Floette are Illumina Pokémon.
Also, perhaps they made a wish on a special meteorite like the one found in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald known as the white rock. This being the rock that when you bring a wish tag to it, you get the chance to catch Jirachi. What I mean to say is that Jirachi may have been the meteorite used to wish for Rayquaza's help. Jirachi granted the wish, transferring the wish and energy to Rayquaza, who had eaten other meteoroids, allowing it to Mega Evolve.
Lastly, that orb that Xerneas turns into looks an awful lot like a large Mega Stone.
When I first saw the Lental Region Map the first thing that came to mind was that it could jolly well be a Hoenn had Team Aqua succeeded.
The resulting islands roughly match the positions they would have in regular Hoenn, bar the desert now on the left of the volcano.
Florio Island roughly corresponds to Littleroot, Founja Jungle to Petalburg Woods, Elsewhere Forest to Meteor Falls.
Maricopia would be the deep waters near Pacifidlog, while Durice would represent Shoal Cave. Aurus is then the stand in for Sootopolis
Not much regions have both an active volcano and a desert, in extremely close proximity.
This is pretty hype.
My only issue with this theory: Doesn’t the game straight up say that the Illumina pokemon were around BEFORE the meteorite hit? Wasn’t that like the big plot twist of the game? We thought the meteorite created them but it turns out the power was much more ancient?
Yeah I thought it was their power as illumina Pokemon that allowed them to protect lental from the meteorite
Yeah this revelation in the game came out of nor where for me and seemed to never be referenced really again. IMO Mirror doesn’t seem sure if anything
Bird Keeper Toby Hey that’s fair! It wasn’t brought up until the very end after all, they do kinda blindside us with it. It makes sense to me if only because the of the mural they show in the Xerneas level, but it kinda leaves more questions than answers because they give us an origin for Illumina Pokemon, only to take it away!
Well I learned that Xerneas, Jirachi, and Volcarona are in this game and they are some of my favorites! Might eventually have to get this game. Got the nostalgia factor anyways!
I love this kind of theory
Yey ^_^
This was a very fun theory
This is an awesome theory
What's up toby thx for the great content
awwww :3 You're very welcome :D
The various meteorite events also explains why you find deoxys meteors in various regions
Watching this now in 2023, got me thinking...
2000 years ago a meteor fell on the Lental region.
Also 2000 years ago was the first mention of the Great Crater of Paldea.
Maybe there's a connection there?
This makes a lot of sense
Also if you don’t mind my input, he never made it to durice, and the photo has a breviary, and you only find it there, what if breviary was his pokemon partner? And braviary made it to durice but the researcher didn’t as in, maybe lost at sea and didn’t survive?
It's not an image tells 1000 stories, it's an image tells 1000 words
Would love to see your thoughts on connections between illumina Pokémon and the lord/guardian Pokémon in Legends.
Yess jirachi
Did you forget the move wish maker where Darachi isn't in the inlands? Darachi is watching over a completely different desert like region. This Darachi hibernates for a (was it a coupled hundred or a couple thousand years?) long time. Wakes up for seven days to absorb the comets energy witch is why it woke up in the first place. Makes a friend and then returned to hibernation at the end of the seven days giving it's energy to the land until the next appearance of the cement many years latter! Technically it shouldn't show up in snap at all with this preestablished lore. However, I could belive that it's another Darachi. A Darachi unice to this reagion. After all they never say that legendaries are singular pokemon. They are just so rarely sighted that it's belived to be only one. In a few cases I would say there are only one like with Arcaus, Palkia, Garatina, Dialga. Those are the only ones that I believe are a single individuals off the top of my head as an almost garintie. I personally think that xerius and yeveltal also only exist as a single individual. Then again their are those games where Archus just give you a new Palkia, Garatina, or Dialga so there is that to be said too. Maybe their are more legendary individuals then we realize. After all they are hardly known and rarely spotted even from a distance let alone encountered personally meaning we don't know a lot about them as a whole. There could even be areas were they are incredibly common and the other Pokémon are rare.
I'd say there is no confusion about the Illumina Pokemon. Them being the ones most affected by the meteorite doesn't nullify the rest of the story about the meteor essentially creating them and scattering the illumina glow across the region. It just means that the Pokemon most affected by the meteor became the Illumina Pokemon.
No confusion in the writing there.
Toby the other way for Deoxys to come about is through meteor impacts. Not all of them are through lasers!
Neat theory :)
My real question is why is the meganium so big? As I was playing through I noticed that none of the other illumina pokemon seemed to be any larger than what their pokedex entries have them recorded at. Meganium appears to be at least three or four times the size it normally would be as it completely dwarfs his little friend pokemon (I don't want to put too many spoilers in case someone hasn't played the game yet). When I first saw it, I assumed that all of the illumina pokemon were going to be giant versions of regular pokemon as a call back to those couple of episodes of the anime with the giant ancient gengar, jigglypuff, and claydol. Ooh, maybe meganium a few thousand years ago was that big but interactions with humans led smaller meganium to thrive while the larger ones died out?
How do we get mew to spawn? I've completed the whole story and I get in front of the 2 morlul on the night jungle level and mew doesn't spawn. Am I missing something in the main story? All of my levels are at least a 2.
Pokemon snap meowth secret lore 😱😱
The darkest day was when Eternatus fell from the sky in an egg/orb so that fits.
I think of lental as a bunch of islands surrounding Hoenn.
When they were more effected by the meteorite for a clear reason... They exist, They're naturally glowing unlike the pokemon that we use on.
