Holy crap! Celebi is a Pokémon known for traveling through time. They put that shrine there with no purpose in Gold and Silver. Then they make Crystal and Celebi retroactively gave the shrine a purpose. It's like Celebi's time travel had an actual effect on the game it was released in. That's so cool.

Additionally, nobody remembers why the shrine was put there in the first place, so it's like it was always meant to be there. It all comes full circle.

7:00 its also noteworthy that Kokopelli was a popular design and pop-culture fad during the '90s. If you go through old media from the period like TV shows like Seinfeld, cartoons like Rugrats, various magazines etc. you'll be sure to spot it here and there. Considering the time period of Gold/Silver's development this I imagine likely inspired these early designs of Celebi.

That's because they aren't the same thing. Shadow Pokémon in _XD_ are called "Dark Pokémon" in Japanese, while the Japanese name for them in _GO_ is "Shadow Pokémon." Shadow Luigia and Mewtwo are thus referred to as "Dark Lugia" and "Dark Mewtwo" in Japanese respectively. It makes perfect sense why the Shadow Pokmon in _GO_ don't resemble other takes on the concept.

I remember hearing a long time ago that there isn't a particular sprite for the shrine in Gen 2, it's made craftly by reusing other tilesets in a creative manner. Given also that Gen 2 started planning as the entirety of Japan and not just Kansai, it is possible that they had the idea of the shrine to represent the more traditional part of Kansai or maybe just Kyoto (which became Ecruteak). What that means is that it's probably just a left over design element trying to flesh out the limitations they were working with during the early beta ages that really had no purpose other than to make it look like the place it was meant to represent. It's probably as meaningful as the Bellsprout plates inside Bellsprout Tower, or just like the truck in gen 1 which was a left over sprite from beta content. They sure stand out, but they're not doing anything there other than looking pretty.

Celebi is a time traveler, it went back in time and created the Shrine, then the rumor that the Shrine is where it would be caught.

I think Colosseum reinforces the connection between celebi and Kokopelli because you use flutes in that game to summon celebi to open the door to a shadow Pokemon's heart. If the darkness of the shadow Pokemon's heart is like winter, then playing the flute ushers in spring by removing that darkness.

I ended up deciding that was confusing and a mouthful, so I just showed the primary source onscreen.

“Legendary Pokémon” ah short and sweet

Mew is a wild card. I've kept up with the anime's more recent stories, and in the final series with Ash, Mew was a violent and dangerous monster at the drop of a hat. It sent three kids and two...tens? Into a psychic-induced fever dream about the beginning of the world, then it tried to nuke them from orbit, and finally it just playfully plants its butt on the deuteragonist's hand before disappearing. That pink thing is unhinged in more modern stories, though it mellowed out in the Lucario movie by just being playful with a side of hidden strength. Love that little fetus cat. Imagine a timeline where beta pokemon that never made into the games got used. Imagine a timeline where Shadow Mewtwo and other questionable or non-canon forms were in the mainline games. Was there ever a video discussing the leaked beta designs? If there wasn't, there should be; plenty of amazing designs were scrapped for reasons unknown. I'm sure people who haven't seen it yet would freak out over the beta Arceus design; that thing was weird.

This has a chance at being said whenever you have a boss fight with it at the beginning of the match, though doesn’t appear in the text box, only voiced by Nia. That makes me wonder what it’s like in the Japanese version’s text box and voiced dialogue. It might be canon in that way.

Lugia and Ho-Oh's feather in the Pokemon Adventure manga were the key ingredients to creating a Time Ball that is specific in controlling Celebi in the Ilex Forest Shrine. The story may not be canon but the author worked and discussed closely with the game creators and each arc and saga is based of the actual games!

Mewtwo: "I'm The Phantom of the Opera of Batman."
