After these replies and my GM and I talking some more, we have reached a better understanding of the rules and each others points.

GM said that the greatest confusion was actually basically that instead of Additional Lore being it's own feat, it would have made a lot more sense for Skill Training to have a caveat for "If the chosen skill is a lore skill, at 3rd level.......".

His confusion was the fact that it was separate to begin with, considering that if Skill Training and levelups can give you lore, why is it entirely separated instead of just an extra rule on an existing feat?

With that, I consider the question closed and it was ruled in favor of normal levelling and the Skill Training feat allowing for Lore skills to be trained.

Skill training (the feat) and skill training when levelling up both seem to simply state "You become trained in the skill of your choice.". Lore skills in Archives of Nethys and the Skills Rule page do not specify any particular rules on training into a lore skill. My GM says that he thought at one point the feat "Additional Lore" was designed to give you access to a lore, without the automatic levelling. Archives of Nethys does not show any legacy content with that.

When creating an Elf Detective Mastermind Rogue with Free Archetype Investigator, I had an overabundance of skill points. The only solution I could think of was to train into a lore but could not find any place to see whether that is supported. Due to my GM saying the old version of Additional Lore did not have scaling, he said that will not be supported unless I get a ruling from Paizo.

Pathbuilder (which I know is not directly owned or controlled by Paizo) does allow the training I am attempting to do.

Can you train into a lore skill with levelups or general skill training from picking up an archetype?
