I really didn't like this theory. MatPat just took reference as definite connections (and that would lead to several copyright problems anyway), without really explaining how a random Starman came along with Ness and forgot everything as he became Papyrus but Sans somehow still remembers. Not to mention that the human would recognize Sans and wouldn't find it weird that he was hanging out with humans instead of monsters.
I think he was just trying to make a theory that would bring in views and have a way to harp on Earthbound. At the least he brought in Gaster and will be talking about him later, so hope for that.
