It's sort of hard to disbelieve the multiverse theory, when Alphys has routinely researched dimensional travel. It took her two seconds to turn our phone into a double dimensionally-linked box.

Yes, I don't disbelieve the multiverse theory in Undertale. But Mettaton does.

A sentient transforming robot being skeptical of their creator's mad science skills would be a funny scene, though.

Okay, here you go:https://youtu.be/788wsj5rnVs?t=95

The question was about how Mettaton was able to know Frisk used a reset to remember their impossible picture of Mettaton Wearing A Froggit Shirt was actually Mettaton.

I still think the part about remembering was if Frisk remembered this from an obscure episode of Mettaton's show. We all know Frisk didn't watch it, but they certainly had the time. Papyrus and Frisk could have watched Mettaton's show during his date.

That would explain why it's a "memory" game. Mettaton actually looked like that during his show once. And the question is to see if Frisk remembers that episode.

It could simply be that such knowledge was impossible without a reset.. but that feels a bit too easy for me.

I can also rule that out. Frisk could have just guessed.. In which case they had a 1 in 4 chance of getting it right by chance. α=.25 is not statistically significant.

Plus, it's revealed at the end that the whole "Alphys is helping you against Mettaton" was an act that Alphys and Mettaton worked together on. So Mettaton knew Alphys was cheating.. And the plan was that Frisk was supposed to cheat.

Alphys' answer was the correct one. So Mettaton should logically assume that Frisk did that. And act like Frisk watched that one episode. Hence.. "I'm glad you remembered!"

Of course, when Alphys just blurted out the answer to the Mew Mew question, it became obvious that Alphys was cheating.. So he had to act on that... And in an entertaining way as well. Hence the crush question.

What if Mettaton does remember resets? But then Mettaton would be aware that Alphys was helping the human cheat. But he knew that from the beginning..

Because Alphys and Mettaton set it up. So far, we have no real evidence for the theory.
