sorry for the delay, but im back now.

ok, so first of all, yes it is entirely nessisary that the human with the power to RESET would need to be leading such an attack, but it is still possible. for the sake of this theory, you CAN assume it happend, and then the rest of this works. besides, most theories hinge on a few minor details, so you can have this one, i guess.

second, monsters dont actually remember between the resets, they have a feeling that they SHOULD remember somthing, but they dont actually retain any memories. for example, Toriel for example says "''When humans fall down here, strangely... I... I often feel like I already know them. Truthfully, when I first saw you, I felt... ... like I was seeing an old friend for the first time." ''she doesn't  LITERALLY remember, she just has a feeling that she should remember you. if monsters actually remembered through RESETs, even a little, then almost everyone would have some kind of memory lapses due to the hundreds, if not THOUSANDS of resets Flowey did. but instead, Papyrus cant even remember his name.

Third, i dont recall saying that there where few humans left on the surface... and i seriously doubt that is true due to seeing a functioning city near the mountain upon achiveing the true pacafist ending. but, i should mention that a human wouldn't be able to prevent any sort of cataclismic event, since Flowey was in control of the timeline before Frisk fell.

but i suppose i should probably mention the theory for the player, then. at the end of the true pacafist run, if you go to True Reset, then Flowey talks to you for awhile, and addresses you as Chara (or whatever you chose as the fallen child's name.) if this was true, then that would mean that we are 'Chara', right? well, the genocide run proves otherwise. at the end of the genocide run, Chara talks to you as a seperate entity. this proves that we are NOT Chara. so if we aren't Frisk and we aren't Chara, then who are we? we are 'the player'. WE first gain the ability to RESET the moment we first play the game, at the moment Frisk wakes up in the underground. whenever WE reset, it goes back to the first moment we had acces to the ability.

oh, and as for the other fallen humans, i am still trying to figure that out to be honest. your idea may be true, and Flowey simply came after the 6th SOUL was taken.

well, i am still willing to listen if you have any questions or counter arguments.
