Wouldn't put it past them to leave it an open ended question that could be easily answered with theories like that though. That way things are explained better than "we" or "I brought you here" (and somehow they magically changed) or even better "something caused you to transform into a Pokémon." It's a bit odd and leaves questions. It'd be nice to actually have clear answers one day like we had in GTI and PSMD.
Well here's the interesting thing that I noticed while playing through the mystery dungeon games again. We always get amnesia when traveling through those portals. Think about it for a moment. Both in PSMD and in TDS, we're attacked either while traveling through the portals or right as we exit. What other form of portal system that can send you across time and space is also capable of wiping your memories, but as of the release of USUM has been confirmed to not always do so? Ultra Wormholes. This also somewhat contributes to the Ultra Beasts theory for RB, as they say they wipe your memory as a test, but how would they go about doing this? Uxie in TDS already states their memory wiping capabilities don't extend that far and no ultra beasts that we know of are capable of such abilities. Perhaps they just dropped you through a wormhole.

I get that it's not the most sound theory but I don't want to discount Game Freak. It's very possible they did think that far ahead, or retconned it. After all, it's obvious they've been planning USUM since the development of XY, so why not have it go further back?
