Pokémon Legends: Z-A Finally Resolves One of Pokémon Legends: Arceus' Saddest Stories

Pokémon Legends: Z-A is retired now. We're enjoying it considerably truthful far, and it's got its ain absorbing communicative of a radical of young adults learning to emotion and support their metropolis and each the radical and Pokémon successful it. But there's 1 infinitesimal successful Z-A that's got america reasoning astir different communicative entirely, 1 contained successful Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

You see, there's a depository successful Lumiose City that you tin sojourn successful Z-A that includes an grounds connected the onshore of Hisui, which is wherever Arceus takes place. While astir of the grounds is made up of amusive easter eggs for Arceus, there's astatine slightest 1 grounds that resolves a dangling crippled thread near implicit astatine the extremity of Arceus. It's a large one, too, arsenic it gives 1 character's tragic communicative a blessed ending astatine last.

I won't accidental much without informing you of spoilers. We won't see immoderate spoilers for Z-A here, but we volition spoil what the depository grounds is, arsenic good arsenic the full communicative of 1 of Arceus' supporting characters. Read onward astatine your ain risk:

I'm talking astir the communicative of the quality Ingo. Let maine drawback you up, first. Ingo really appears successful Black and White, wherever he's a brag successful the Battle Subway on with his duplicate brother, Emmet. Ingo isn't a peculiarly captious quality successful these games, but his value grows importantly erstwhile helium shows up successful Arceus. You see, Arceus takes spot successful the distant past, but the Ingo we conscionable determination is decidedly the aforesaid guy, arsenic helium talks astir having fuzzy memories of a member and the clip play helium came from. But Ingo besides doesn't cognize however helium got to Hisui, oregon however to get backmost location to his member and the Pokémon partners helium near behind. As champion arsenic we tin infer, the deity of the Pokemon world, Arceus, apt transported Ingo backmost successful clip the aforesaid mode it transported the main quality backmost successful clip astatine the commencement of the game.

Frankly, this sucks! Ingo intelligibly misses his member and partners, but doesn't recognize however this happened to him oregon why. He's ace depressed the full game. And this just...never gets resolved. At the extremity of Arceus, Ingo is inactive stuck successful past Hisui, with nary mode home. But fortunately, Z-A appears to yet springiness Ingo a blessed ending via the museum.

You see, there's a diagram successful the depository of the Training Grounds, which is wherever Ingo hangs retired successful Arceus. The diagram has the pursuing caption: "There are records of a antheral named Ingo providing guidance successful the ways of Pokémon battle, but it is said that helium simply vanished 1 time aft stating, 'It's clip for maine to return.'"

While it's not definitive, this seems to connote that astatine immoderate constituent aft the events of Arceus, Ingo was spirited backmost location successful explicably, yet getting to reunite with his member and Pokémon. We'll ne'er cognize for sure, but the depository grounds intelligibly wants to punctual the subordinate to ideate helium was yet freed from Arceus' clip traveling torment. I'm personally thrilled by this, arsenic the deity Pokémon Arceus' kidnapping spree was 1 of the astir baffling bits of that game's crippled for me.
