The Distortion World. Is it related to FR\LG as it is to turnback cave?

[NatureKeeper]

The distortion world, or also known in the anime as the reverse world, is made of antimatter to keep matter balanced in the real world. Which means that the distortion world may distort, in case the laws of physics in any place that has a connection. The makes the fact that turnback has a confusing puzzle, because it is distorted by the distortion world, one more proof is that when you exit the Distortion World, you are directed to sendoff spring as if you have walked out of turnback.

However, doesn't this puzzle seem familiar? By this, If you guys guessed right, I mean FRLG's Lost Cave. It has the same very old puzzle. Could this be related to the same distortion turnback cave is? I mean, this was maybe one of the signs that introduces D\P\Pl before their release. Who thinks so?

I just think both the Lost Cave and Turnback Cave make for good puzzles.
So they just used the same kind of idea for Turnback Cave.

Hmm...it does kinda seem like they could be. But Lost Cave is a little far away from the entrance to the Distortion World, isn't it? Of course, it could still be affecting it since it keeps the world in balance...

NatureKeeper used Max Revive!
THREAD has been revived!
LOL! Well, why are Lost Cave and Turnback are the only ones distorted?

There's altering cave, the pokemon just seem to vary there for no reason and Mirage Island it just appears and disappears

Oh lawd is dat sum science?

Firstly, the Distorted dimension can't be made of antimatter, because when matter (from the "real world") and antimatter meet, they explode violently (annihilation). The Distorted World is often associated with mirrors, which makes enantiomers much more likely.

Secondly, a world that mirrors the Real World would have no reason to defy physics. The Turnback Cave/Distortion World puzzle is just a clever use of wormholes.

The universe can be thought of as a flat sheet of paper, with the Real World on one side and the Distortion World on the other. Place two points on the Real World side, and fold it so that the points are "touching": walking through point A will cause you to return to point B in an infinite loop. The Distortion world plays no part in this other than the fact that it will also mimic the wormhole loop.

Sendoff Spring is subject to strange, unstable forces that affect space-time. Normally, you would just experience the Turnback Cave wormholes, as there is no reason to send you to "the other side of the paper". In Platinum, there is a shift that allows you to reach the other side; since the same wormhole is used, you will find yourself in the mirrored Turnback Cave.

tl;dr- Turnback Cave could be the Real World parallel to the section of the Distortion World you explore.
