Yeah, I get that this isn’t really what you are pointing out but I got a tad annoyed when people though that Volo was Cogita’s son or something. The ancestors in this game prove one thing for sure. In the Pokémon world genetic traits stay is the family for ages. It can be assumed that Volo and Cogita look alike because both of their traits are rooted in generations of the Celestica people of ancient Sinnoh and their traits were common among most Celestica people. Volo may be distantly related to Cogita but it’s likely you won’t find them on the same recent family tree.

There's actually a theory that Cogita as the representative of the Celestica people is actually immortal. Really not that farfetched since AZ is also immortal. There is one piece of Old Verse that actually suggests that she is the author of them, but these things were buried under Hisui for hundreds of years. Also when you catch Enamorus she's like "Hey dude, I'll lend her to you for now. What does that mean? You are not immortal and will die eventually, that's what I mean." Hinting she knows she will outlive you the player and eventually have Enamorus back. With this theory in mind, we can easily conclude that Volo and Cogita can be related in numerous ways since they don't even need to be the same generation. Also in Japanese, there are numerous ways to call yourself, often used by different people. Someone noticed that the hiker in the Sinjoh ruins speaks the same fashion as Volo. The hiker that only appears in Platinum in Canalave Library claiming he wrote a lot of books about the myths here also speaks the same fashion as Volo. Considering Volo's Ginkgo guild outfit actually looks similar to how the hikers dress, they proposed the possibility that Volo is also somehow immortal or long-lived, which can explain why he said he will use hundred of years to find the truth of the Sinnoh myths. And yeah that hiker is somehow in the Sinjoh Ruins. Alone with Cynthia. It makes total sense if they know each other and somehow are related.

I had a really interesting experience with Volo. I usually play switch games with videos on in the background. One day on a whim, I decided to check out the soundtrack for Legends. I went straight to the one for Giratina for no apparent reason. At this point in the game, I had gone to 2 lakes and was about to enter the 3rd, but I wasn't playing. The video had basically spoiled Volo's betrayal, but I didn't know when, where, or why it would happen. I kept playing through the game and was surprised when he didn't attack and the credits rolled. I kept playing until his betrayal, but despite me knowing he was evil, I couldn't attack him. It gave this sense of unease that really made him a more effective villain for me when he starts explaining his whole plan and motives. Definitely one of my new favorite characters.

I don't really understand the obession with Volo and Cogita having to get together for them to both be Cynthia's ancestors. The time difference is easily enough for there to be a several generation gap between them and Cynthia, and at any point inbetween any of Volo's and Cogita's descendants could get together and merge their family trees. I also find it very unlikely Volo would just die with no kids. I think him swearing that he will discover all of Hisui's mythology and conquer Arceus, no matter how many years, decades or centuries it takes, Is meant to imply he passed his dreams down to his children and this continued all the way to Cynthia's generation.

Meeting up with the Pokemon who probably hated Arceus the most at that time probably didn't help matters at all.

Then Giratina dropped in and suddenly that massacre was a lot closer than it should have been. Excellent final battle. 10/10 Would make your ancestors dizzy again.

When I found out that Volo betrays you before I actually got to the fight, I was like "What?! No! He helped us so much, etc." I was legitimately dissapointed seeing that it was true. Volo then procceded to curb stomp me 5 times in a row, though it was mainly cause of Giratinia.

For the entire game I was predicting that Volo would be the villain. No real reason why, I just thought it fit. Then Kamado is the one who starts being an ass so I slowly got less and less skeptical of Volo and by postgame I had no more expectations for him. When he finally revealed himself at the very end it was so satisfying, and the fight didn’t disappoint either.

I think that Volo, Cogita and Cynthia’s traits are very common in the Celestica people and their descendants. It is likely that Volo and Cogita are distant relatives, it is still possible that they aren’t Cynthia’s ancestors. Cynthia’s ancestors may branch off at an earlier generation in Volo and or Cogita’s family tree

You can have any team. You can use any strategy. You can use however many items you want. No matter what, you’re going to struggle at least once with Volo.

volo is definitely, hands down, my favorite pokemon villain to DATE. also, completely obsessed with the parallels to cynthia, same with the parallels between other possible ancestors and their possible descendants. as an example, cyllene plays cynthia's part in a way that cyrus would, and volo plays cyrus' part in a way that cynthia would. also, something i didn't notice until after the fact was just the musical themes in volo's endgame battle theme. everyone talks about cynthia's encounter theme, since it's the most notable, but the last chords of his theme are nearly the same as the ending of dppt's intro. like, the stark difference between the orchestra at the beginning in b-minor (which symbolizes his patience in waiting for his plans to come to fruition) and the part with the flutes afterward, which switches into b-major and it feels *hopeful* (while many pieces made in the b-major scale tend to be on the passionate, jealous, and desperate scale, which we can see in his jealousy of the player character in being chosen by arceus instead), before it ultimately switches back to b-minor (symbolizing the aspect of b-minor pieces symbolizing despair and melancholy). this naturally reflects back to volo's name origin (volo ergo sum, "i wish therefore i am"), further tying the similarities to cogita (cogito ergo sum, "i know therefore i am") and cynthia (sentio ergo sum, "i feel therefore i am"). i just think he's neat!!

Cynthia/Sentia makes no sense bc is only the eng name and was not picked for that. She is called Shirona in jp and is a parrallel between her and Cyrus. Volo and Cogita are two names related by their latin origin. Cyllene never played an important role more than any other in the Galaxy team. Meanwhile Volo would despise the World that Cyrus wanted to do.

homie, im Real late to this lmao, but let me unpack this whole suitcase i realized after the fact of posting that i incorrectly referenced the descartes quote, but was too lazy to go back and change it. thank you for that btw! the parallels between volo, cogita, and cynthia were made not only because of the similarities between the descartes quotes, but also because of the representation to the lake trio as well AND that all three of them are descended from the now-missing celestica people, or the ancient sinnoh people as volo refers to them upon his defeat. volo represents willpower and azelf, also reflecting back to the descartes quote (which he's likely named for, being the "i wish" part of the quote) and his will and desire to meet arceus, "no matter how many centuries" it takes him. cogita represents knowledge and uxie, once again reflecting back to the descartes quote (which she is likely also named for, being "i think"), and likely being the original author of the old verses scattered throughout hisui (when she first meets with the player: "It seems I'll be able to fulfill my duty at long last, thanks to you." vs old verse 12: "[...] Here, where the ancient Sinnoh people were born, I will spend an eternity... until the one with the mission appears.") ofc since legends arceus was made after dppt and several characters are implied to be related and/or ancestors of characters of modern pokemon games, it can be safe to assume that volo and cogita are meant to imply the connection to cynthia, versus the other way around. now, i'll Also kindly call bs about cyllene not playing an important role, considering she was the one at the beginning of the game that gave you the trial to join the galaxy team and the survey corps whereas 99% of the other characters held doubts except for laventon, with the aligned goals of meeting all pokemon and making a completed pokedex. she assists you from the background, being playing things from the background to support you and pleading ignorance afterwards. i also won't disagree with you about the last bit, but volo still had the same GOAL as cyrus did, but again, plays it in a way that cynthia would have. it's also poetic, in that aspect, that after assisting volo with the same goal several hundred years prior, giratina flies into a rage at cyrus attempting to do the same thing, with it being confirmed that after traveling with the player in hisui, giratina decided to protect hisui/sinnoh rather than destroy it.

volo has a major impact even for those who didn't grow up with gen 4! here was my experience, it was fantastic and i loved it. my first pokemon game was moon, and i was already an adult. i hadn't grown up with the games at all. i loved moon, but it conditioned me to expect cheesy stories and long tutorials. sword conditioned enthusiastically helpful NPCs for me in the next gen. i'm a solid fan now, and SWSH disappointed me with its predictability and easiness. i come to expect this from these games and enjoy them regardless. kids games, yknow? Arceus is a BLAST and shows me what people love about pokemon. it feels like what pokemon must have felt like in 1996. things are harder, but still doable. the story is cheesy but fun to play! and huh, this guy Volo sure is helpful even though he has no reason to be. ah well! every NPC is like that in these games, so whatever. oh, i've been kicked outta jubilife? aaahh, thats why Volo is so present, he's my merchant now! it all makes sense, they were leading up to this. haha, that dude Beni sure threw me for a loop! .......why is Volo acting all crazed? dude's unhinged. YO he's the villain? wow that's a huge twist! huh, i'll battle him real quick, my team is pretty solid i'm sure it'll be easy. reader, it was not easy. i tried over and over, eventually giving up and grinding an entire real-life day to get my team beefed up. giratina and its second form beat me to a pulp several times. it was AWESOME. the first pokemon battle where the win felt truly EARNED! my favourite moment in pokemon by far. i studied his team, i studied all the not-obvious type match-ups. just like kiddos of the early 00s! it was a blast and i hope we get more stuff like this. i'll never forget it!

Pulling from the past should be simple compared to pulling from parallel universes.

I also hope someone makes note of the fact that he is not "pokemon TRAINER" volo, he is "pokemon WIELDER" volo. My head canon is that he eventually either grows close with his pokemon and shapes up his act oooor....his pokemon revolt due to his consistent mistreatment and abandon/eat him.

it doesn't necessarily mean he's awful to his pokemon, just that he doesn't love them. People take care of their cars because they need their cars to go places, I imagine it's the same for volo.

Half his team only evolves via happiness. Togekiss only serves people it sees as pure hearted (and it can see your true nature, so you can't deceive it), and Lucario only serves those it see as "noble" (and with the whole aura thing, you can't deceive it either). They may not have told us much about his motivations, but just his team tells us a lot about him as a person and how there's a lot more going on than we see on the surface.

Even though I did this entire three course fight on my first try, I'm still reeling from the thrill! 😲 I absolutely love Volo's character, ir was so fascinating (and shocking) to see his development throughout the game!

I was spoiled on Volo not only having a full team but also having a Giratina. So instead of bringing a counter to his team, I decided to try and make it as blind and hard for myself as I wanted. I banned Fairy types so I didn't have an easy fix for Giritina, made sure my party didn't go past lvl 70 and had no grit boosts. Even with the handicaps I still beat Volo and barely scraped past Giritina but what beat me in the end was the thing I wasn't spoiled on that being the Origin Forme. So yeah, I was screwed. 3 more tries (and a bit of grit boosting after the 2nd loss) and later and I finally beat Giratina. Damn did it feel good to get absolutely clobbered. Something about Pokemon games having terrifying superbosses that make a moment feel climactic always gets my heart pumping. Thanks Volo, you lying son of a Bisharp.

I heard a theory that Cynthia is the reincarnation of Volo rather than Volo just being a simple ancestor which would explain why their team is basically the same and why they have the same theme along with the Volo saying that he doesn't care if takes him centuries. I honestly don't believe it as most of that can just be them simply being related but I thought it was interesting and sort of ironic.

"He's tall so he's dependable." *-GatorEx*

I remember thinking "man this is cool but I wish they used the origin forme". The monkey's paw curled.

1:28 Reject Modernity, Return to Tomboy if you notice that flash

cynthia is everywhere and nobody can stop her

“Hey Volo, could you wait with destroying the world so I can level up my Electivire?” “Oh, sure thing! I’ll wait here.”

4:09-If you meet Blue after defeating Red he will be surprised at that Cynthia with giratina in Masters, a throwback to this too?

I won on my first attempt due to being overleveled, which was due to me doing most of the side quests and fighting/catching almost every alpha I encountered, but Giratina's second phase made me work for it. I went from having one Pokémon fainted to being down four in one fell swoop. He attacked me four times in a row at one point.

One interesting tidbit about all this is that the whole Volo situation allowed fucking Giratina to develop out of all characters In Legends he's all about helping Volo until he gets beaten by the protag and realizes "maybe this ain't it" Then eons later in Platinum as soon as he catches wind of Cyrus trying to do the same as Volo, he instantly goes out of his way to stop him

The beginning of this is perfect for me because the 2 pokemon that I mainly used in the game up to this point was typlosion and sneasler then I had to train all my pokemon for Volo because I lost to him like 6 times

“BRO BRING OUT THAT ELECTRIC GUITAR”

When he recognized the plate i knew he was the villain... like... "OMG! is that the bug and psychic plate from GOD!" Clearly he was but i didn't realize that he did Cyrus's plan to whip out the universe and create a new one. That's why i think Cyrus is the reincarnated of Volo from Giratina. Yes i know that Celine is the ancestor of Cyrus but it's a stupid theory of mine...

Though their motives are entirely different for it. Cyrus believed that creating a new universe would enable him to free sentient life from the shackles of emotion and thus put an end to suffering. Volo wanted to do so to make Arceus pay attention to him.

@GatorEX you mentioned that red vs. gold was the only other fight you could think of where a huge battle would go underway without anyone the wiser but there's also Brendon/May vs Steven Stone fight in meteor falls in emeralds post game.

4:15 there is no time to get help, but there is time to retry the battle 2,000 times and switch out your team 20 times. Makes a lot of sense.

I think Giratina going into its origin form was difficult. i had a really easy time with phase 1 of it only losing 1 mon, Origin form took me down my lopunny from a max revive used. 10/10 would get decked again

I had a lot of fun with that scene during my playthrough. Up until then I'd given him a super smooth voice so having him break entirely was great.

Volo is like Cyrus Cogita is like Cynthia I am starting to theorize that Volo might have influenced Cyrus in some way. Because both try to distort space and time to conquer everything, get beaten by the protagonist, and we never really see much of them after that

I enjoyed battling Volo. I rematched him again two more times because the battle was that enjoyable too me.

God I wish we could legit rematch him instead of just resetting.

I have a whole folder of attempts at beating Volo. I was underleveled, underprepared and overwhelmed. I hope we continue to see battles such as this one as the big final boss moment of the games. It gives people that moment to remember a game by!

When legends kyurem eventually becomes a thing, volo is gonna show up where undella town is located

Giratina being my all time fav legendary and volo having been my fav character in arceus this fight with the music was absolutely perfect. I didnt expect volo to betray me and i felt that betrayal.

"I'm not the only one that hates volo" I'm in love with him actually

That beginning clip is so dang accurate, except I had decidueye. The theme is so anxiety inducing, and is probably why you always lose at least twice

Look, Volo made me SO ANGRY and when I FINALLY beat him after a few months of not playing the game BECAUSE of HIS battle, I got a plate with a silly little name, aka the 'Spooky Plate'. THE. *SPOOKY. PLATE.* I wasn't sure whether to be happy, annoyed, or if I should be laughing. I still haven't fully gotten over it..

To be fair that's been its name since gen 4 and they probably wished they'd given it a more intimidating name. Specter Plate? Soul Plate?

why do so many people say he's never seen again? the man STILL FOLLOWS YOU. THINK ABOUT IT When you catch giratina at turnback cave and then go back to professor laventon, what does he tell you? He tells you that volo came back and told him to finish giratina's pokedex entry. He saw you capture giratina, he knew you took it. He probably just didn't intervene because he knew already that he'd lose the fight, especially without giratina on his side again. But, he still follows you. I reckon he follows you till you actually meet arceus, and with all his willpower he chooses to not follow you up to arceus, knowing that he wouldn't be able to beat you and arceus at the same time. After that, who knows, but I can't see this being the end of volo. I feel he'll come back, it's too perfect to say he just vanished and never came back, because it's already been deconfirmed in the game.

I was DYING from the beginning x'D

A friend of mine called him an almost Lovecraftian-Horror character. I can’t get it outta my head.

Something someone pointed out a while ago is that, like with how Cynthia has Milotic(Water) and Volo has Arcanine(Fire), Volo’s ace Pokémon and the one he had from the beginning was Togepi/Togekiss, a Fairy/ Flying Pokémon, while Cynthia’s ace, Garchomp, is a Dragon/Ground Pokémon.

That music and giratina entry was so badass.

I remember thinking that he was gonna be easy like the rest if the game, then I heard those chords and shit myself. I knew in that moment that he was going to kick my ass or at the very least take 2 tries to beat, it took me 10 and 2 different teams

I can see it too. After you get Giratina it could open a way to the Distortion World, where Volo fled to be alone with his thoughts and make more plans. At first he's furious; how dare you pursue him, how dare you take what was his, how dare you, and he attacks you out of anger. But if you keep coming back he comes to realize that you don't know why you were chosen by Arceus either, and he's been blaming you for something you had no control over. He still despises Arceus with every fibre of his being, but eventually realizes that he was at the very least wrong to hate *you*, and with a smile, says that he'll leave to go to Sinjoh at some point, and asks if you want to have a battle for fun.

Villains with the most Pokémon: 1.) Volo 2.) Greevil 3.) Everyone else

Volo hurt me in the feels. I was in angry tears fighting him

I hope Volo doesn't die of old age and somehow figures out a way to move through time so we can get him as a recurring Villain in future pokemon games. He Conquered Giratina there's nothing to say he can't do the same with the other SpaceTime Pokemon

Volo is my favorite villian 🤩 The twist is so cool and when you hear that music you realize your in for a beating and the fact that you have to come up with a strayegy doesnt sound much but in every other game your strategy is "Spam 1 supereffective attack" but now you have to look at your team and evaluate what pokemon you can keep and what pokemon you have to ditch its so cool

In my playthrough of Legends, the OC I crafted in Mei Xiang took on a few interesting traits, including actively trying to maintain an emotional distance from the members of Galaxy Team because she had every intention of returning to her own time, and didn't want to end up with any attachments here. But the biggest one would probably have to be that she really didn't care for trainer battles. In my headcanons for Mei Xiang's background, her family runs a Pokemon Ranch, and so while she has a strong fondness for Pokemon, she's never been on the battling side of that relationship until she wound up in Hisui. To her, having Pokemon with you is about caring for one another, and battles don't really fall into that category to her. So after having completed the game, I've started developing scenarios in my head for how she would try to sidestep each of the trainer battles in Legends - up to and including Volo with a reverse psychology play about her being from the future to make him think his plan is already doomed to fail.

I think Volo is a bit too off the deep end to be persuaded like that, but, go off I guess. Also, pokemon probably works by Multiverse theory. Any tampering with time splits the Timeline into a branch.

LOL THE MUSIC WAS "OK" WHAT.

squidwars sneasler really got me

The mere name sends shivers down my spine, my friend recently played legends Arceus and keeping quiet about Volos final battle was so hard. Especially after Volo railed my team for 3 straight hours

It was so weird hearing that epic music during a battle where I basically one-shotted every single one of his Pokemon. I was too focused on completing the Pokedex (fulfilling every single task of it) and doing side quests so when I at last got back to the main storyline my Pokemon had like 20 levels on him (my highest level Pokemon was my starter which had level 93). That wasn't Volo's theme - that was the theme Volo heard when he saw ME. 😂

you go to the 1st scarlet and violet dlc after you finished the 2nd dlc find a cloaked man looking at a hisuian zorark in a museum or shop mask then he looks at you. Volo wants to battle you

I came into the Volo fight with a team of level 61s to my starter who was 65. I used a variety throughout the story and and post-game. Thanks to spoilers I knew it was coming. I beat him my second try and did not see Giratina coming and lost with only 1 Pokemon left. Then I beat the first form of Giratina and then found out about the second form... I was fed up having to face Volo so many times that I eventually just used the Max Revives that I saved up, to finally beat Giratina and both its forms.

"you used giratina against me, so now im gonna use it against you and it can revive!"

I was woefully ill-prepared for the battle against Volo. I barely managed to beat him with only two Pokémon still standing. Then Giratina appeared and whooped me. I had to go train and even changed some members of my team to challenge Volo again. I beat him easier the second time, got through Giratina and sighed a sigh a relief. Then the guitar riff hit and I realized I wasn't done yet. Luckily I had prepared for this and brought two fairy types and they both were alive so I managed to beat him, but I was close to losing again. Probably my favorite battle in the games. Pretty sure it's the first time I've ever yelled "What the f-" while playing a Pokémon game

Great intro

I just finished the story and did this yesterday and I was really disappointed that Volo was evil lol. He was my favourite character in the game.
