You do have a point that Toriel said she's seen several children come through. Which would suggest that the Six didn't come as a group.

Although Frisk only spent a single day at Toriel's house at the Ruins. So even if they did come seperately, it needn't have taken years for this to happen.

Something that still bugs me is how Toriel said she would actually *destroy* the Ruins Door.

What would that really accomplish?

Burrowing creatures can already go under it, so anyone with mining gear could dig under the wall anyways.

And if Toriel's the only one who can open that door.. then why would she have to destroy it? Why not just wave goodbye and leave Frisk pounding his head against an Unopening Door while she goes upstairs and bakes another pie?

Toriel has to use that door, to take monsters than have Fallen Down in the Ruins to Alphy's lab. It would be foolish of her to block that access permanently, She's still the Queen of that realm, and visits it occasionally, and only she can open that door. Destroying the door makes absolutely no sense.

Unless you consider that Toriel might know about Sans' plan to test Frisk, and see if he's friend or foe. Toriel hands Frisk a phone with the key to Sans' room on it, after all.

And she makes a dramatic show of "Oh no, I'm totally going to destroy the Ruins Door so you can never go home!" And then, rather than actually doing that, gives Frisk a battle that is clearly a test.

I doubt the situation is as simple as it seems at first.
