Not modern Frisk. ALPHA Frisk. The one who would eventually become Sans.

Gaster was brought to this world to be alive when Chara was alive. We know this already.

Why wasn't (Alpha) Frisk ALSO brought to this point? And if Alpha Frisk WAS brought to this point, what changed so that Modern Frisk does not ALSO start then? You might have gotten confused when I asked about shattering, but really, that was a response to a possible answer to the question I raised about how they got stuck in the world of Undertale in the first place, and what happened to the machine. (Yes, things get complicated. This is a complicated story, and attempting to cross it over with Earthbound makes it even MORE complicated, given the conflicting nature of the worlds' rules.)

Then, of course, are all the things Sans possibly could have done to save Gaster. We also have the dilemma I presented before. Was Alpha Frisk able to get a Pacifist Neutral? If so, Toriel's declaration making the monsters make friends with humans now would apply to Frisk, and they'd have no need to masquerade as a monster. If not, Frisk gained the guilt FAR before Gaster's fall. Either way, the story you presented breaks down. (Maybe this way of saying it is easier to understand.)
