Alright, so the theory was already debunked. I see.

Perhaps I should have tried a theory a little bit closer to yours. One that links the world of Undertale with another world.

One like... My Little Pony.

Time for the second round of bad theorizing! This one rivals MatPat's Ness theory:I'm not even sure which is worse! So, let's see how good I am at the art of making bad theories look good. Let's see if I can successfully pull off a MatPat. ---

It's always been a mystery, just what happened to all the Temmies at the Temmie Village. They're all under some sort of curse, that hampers their intelligence.. Prevents them from even speaking grammatically correct, in fact.

We know they weren't always like this, because Bob was completely unaffected by this curse. He's quite normal of a monster, in fact. And to further support the idea that this isn't the Temmie's natural state, look no further than the Tem Shop! If you refuse to sell an item that Shop Temmie really wants, he'll say, in plain English, "You will regret this." He's reverting back, just for those moments.

So what caused this? What reverted the Temmies to this state? Well, you can bet that the answer exists within Waterfall, because that's where the Temmie Village is. And in fact, the cause of this, was the echo flowers.

Now, now, I know what you're thinking. Aren't echo flowers only supposed to mimic the last voice it heard? ...Well, for one, if they existed just to exist, that's pretty meaningless. Toby had to put them there for a reason.

And second, we've actually seen these flowers before. These echo flowers... are actually poison joke!

In the ninth episode of the first season of the TV show "My Little Pony:Friendship is Magic", our main cast find themselves in the Everfree forest, stepping in blue flowers, known as poison joke. After stepping in it, they are inflicted with horrible curses... As jokes. For instance, FLuttershy sounds like a guy, Applejack turns tiny, and Rainbow Dash turns into Rainbow Crash.

Now, compare the poison joke sprites from the show to the echo flowers from Undertale.



As you can see, they're an exact match. They're both blue flowers, with exactly six petals, and a center. So, what if those two flowers were, in fact, one and the same?

It'd certainly explain what happened to the Temmies. After all, getting your perfect English flopped with what's basically 1337 speak could be considered a "joke" curse, after all.

But perhaps that's a pretty big logical leap. We need more. And oh, let me tell you, as you look deeper, the connections just get stronger and stronger.

For instance, let's take a look at "determination". A power, that, just through a specific emotion, gives you massive power, to continue on, and overturn even the strongest of foes. As you die, Chara tells you to stay determined. Your friendship with them is what keeps you going. This is actually similar to the magic of friendship from My Little Pony-Which works in a similar passion. With the power of friendship, you can overturn any foe.

But you might be wondering:If this is Equestria.. why are we a human? Aren't humans, well.. Not in the show?

Well, they weren't in G4.. But they were in G1. And there are many links between those shows as well-Take Tirek, Grogar, Gusty, G1 Twilight striking a huge resemblance to G4 Twilight's mother..

So, that's it! Frisk used the magic of friendship to become powerful enough to beat Asriel through friendship, and our Temmies were unfortunate enough to get into poison joke. Hopefully Papyrus learns how to make friends soon. -2 is not a good number to have.

So, how was that "theory"? Was that enough to convince you how badly circumstantial evidence can lead us?
