If Sans and Gaster never interacted, why are both Sans and Papyrus carrying unique blasters with Gaster's name on them? Blasters we can't actually find evidence of in this timeline, even in the True Lab. Quite some rares gifts, those two have.

You're assuming Sans is using magic. But during the Omega Flowey fight we see that telekinesis is clearly a power that human souls have, as the Six Souls rebell from Flowey using a strange non-magic power of their own.

Making assumptions is always a dangerous thing.

It's not just that the Franklin badge might be behind San's house. It's that he has photos of himself with three other people. And notes that might be a bunch of Wingdings. And a lab design that matches The Core, which Gaster built. And you need a Silver Key to get into the back lab, which could be a reference to an L.P. Lovecraft story about time travel. And that Sans directly tests us to see if we're a time traveler, like himself, before letting us know we have his key.

Also, a map of Earthbound's Fourside cityscape is hidden in Hyperdeath Asreal's wings, a Super Deliberate Detail that's hard to explain as anything but a link between Undertale and Earthbound. Add to this that the music in The True Lab is almost a note for note rip of the Earthbound music as the team of robot-kids approaches Giygas, And it's pretty clear that there's an Earthbound link to this game.

A whole pile of evidence links Undertale to Earthbound. Not just the possiblity that we might see the Franklin Badge.
