Okay, I really hope they cover this story soon. It's so interesting! But one thing - I like everyone's theories and they're all relevant but um... sorry if it's been covered ut perhaps the theory of arriving at about 3am (I've tried this, it works) and the guard by the statue at Mr. Backlot's Mansion is gone has something to do with this? The guard doesn't let you touch it but when he's not there at about 3am, you can press A and it says you got your fingerprints on it... Maybe this has something to do with the statue in the the Old Chateau etc.? Also, looking through an Emerald ROM with AdvancedMap, would it be possible that the maids could be enabled by an event and they have a warp script themselves? For example, in some doors in Emerald, you can't use walk through walls and go in; the person you talk to e.g. the Battle Tent dude at the counter takes you through the door and then you warp because that particular character is programmed with the warp and not the door way. That could be what the maids do after enabling them. Someone needs to take a look through a D/P ROM. It'd be interesting to see which maps are their that we don't know about - perhaps ones not even known about... Oh and Rotom will have to pop up in the anime so they MUST be going back sometime... Only time will tell...
