Legends Arceus needs to stop showing me new little details I keep discovering when I go ingame for references to OTHER things I'm looking for XD

These symbols they used for the statues in snowpoint temple

Are the same ones used in Scarlet and Violet Tera raid typings XD

Now I get its probably reusing assets from the Scvi team since they were worked on roughly around the same time maybe. Not uncommon to do that, but this would mean these statues were the first instance that the tera icons were ever shown before Scarlet and Violet was even announced. They aren't in Sword and Shield!

LORE WISE who knows why they're there. They're used for the Regis typings in the puzzles inside the temple but for lore reasons, it's crazy to think Sinnoh and Paldea have anything remotely linking them to each other (besides the Pokemon Home connectivity to bring the Hisuian pokemon to Paldea soonish) they are so far apart XD

I love stumbling on tiny details like this, it's the Pokedex wearing down all over again! XD
