...If the answer is the same whether you reset or not.. Then he doesn't remember your resets.

I'm convinced that this line means that Mettaton actually looked like this at one point (maybe in a special occasion in an obscure episode of Mettaton's series), and the question is to see if we remember seeing him like that in his show.
