Well, let's analyze Temmie in general.

Now, monsters knowing game mechanics is nothing new. In the Genocide Route, if you threaten Gerson, he'll point out hiw you can't do anything to him in the shop window. Asgore knows them too, as he smashes the MERCY button. Flowey knows about them, but.. That's justified for a different reason.

Of course, what IS strange is remembering resets. Usually, all you get is a sense of "deja vu".

"A deja vu is a glitch in the Matrix. It happens when they change something"-Trinity, The Matrix

Despite being from a completely different franchise, the quote actually fits well.. Except, the "change" is Frisk rewinding the timeline, and the "glitch" stems from the fact that you can't simply undo things, only attempt to revert things back to how they were at a point in time. You're literally sending everyone else backwards in time with you-This is even how Flowey describes the process-A True Reset literally tearing away the monsters' happy ending, and bringing them back to before it all began. So.. You should expect a few traces of the future to be brought with you.. Just like when an event changes within the Matrix, traces of the original remain, as "deja vu".

No, how does this relate to Temmie? Well, first we need to find out what exactly Temmie.. is. Considering the theme of the shop being near an exact match to the Dogsong theme, it's clear the two are related in some way, shape, or form. Now, it's clear the Annoying Dog.. knows a lot more than he lets on. He finds a way to walk through walls (evidenced by directly after absorbing the artifact), and somehow.. Teleporting into your inventory? He knows about the inventory feature..?

So, this is 't just the Temmies. This has to do with the Annoying Dog as well. They both share uncanny knolwedge about the game's world.. But.. why?

Well.. Perhaps we'll find the answer soon enough. Perhaps it has something to do with.. some cleverness. Sort of like how Sans figured these things out..?
