SwSh and SV are confirmed to take place during the years they came out due to GO referencing their stories' events as recent and taking place in another region. GO explicitly takes place in real time, so SwSh takes place in 2019 (early enough for Z-A to follow in that same year) and SV takes place in 2022.
>>
>>58391999
Which means ZA is in 2025, but the XY it follows is an XY set in a different universe from the 3DS one and ZA's XY takes place in 2020.
Checked.

No? Z-A takes place in 2019, 5 years after XY. GO doesn't have and references to Z-A's story, so that game doesn't need to match up with the real life timeline.
>>
>>58392177
GO has to be canon, otherwise where did my Melmetal come from? The Orre and Fiore games are canon too for the same reason btw.

The teraleak confirmed the gap between gen 4 and gen 5 is roughly ten years. Gen 5 also had Drayten saying pokeballs weren't a thing when he was a kid so clearly Unova was a fucking shithole for a long while

There's an NPC in L:ZA who mentions the "undefeated" Leon being dethroned, so trying to align the dates based on real life doesn't actually work.
Ergo, XY was 2013, so five years later makes L:Z-A 2018, but SWSH was 2019, making it impossible for Leon to have been dethroned in 2018.
>>
>>58393487
>Between 3 and 13 years
>>
>>58393496
And if an NPC mentions Leon's defeat, L: Z-A takes place after the events of Sword and Shield.
>>58393467
There is no such time gap in the canon releases, Red's about 20/21 in Sun and Moon, a clear reference to the series' then 20th year of existence. Given this shit's a bit like star wars, it starts its time determination from the events of Red and Green/Blue and everything released after has to fit within that scope, there cannot be such a timeskip between the games in actuality. Not if they want and need to fit within the timeline presented in the games. They've always fudged the exact year of tthe game events and always adjusted to follow on from the events of the last, both in lore and chronologically, unless outright stated (L: A diving into the end of Hisui and formation of Sinnoh).

>the teraleak is wrong, in my headcanon Red is...
Stopped reading here.
>>
>>58393487
13* years, teraleak confirmed it was "roughtly a decade". Also we do not have confirmation when SV takes place, we only know is after SwSh because Sonia is now a published author but we have no timeframe. It could even be after Z-A.
>>
>>58393978
Fuckwit, teraleak is all beta, unless it's backed up by the game releases (what became L: A pitched as entirely separate from the other games in the canon launched with the player's room from DPPt/BDSP in the game code, as they CLEARLY tied the whole game back to the Gen 4 games, to support the remake). This is the separation between pre-production work and canon materials. So yeah, when the game releases, that Game Freak treat as THE timeline of the universe (to the point they make a whole new universe, JUST to add non-canon gimmickshit to a past region, DLC's going through Hoopa rings, where the Hoenn megas will spawn from. Hmmmmm.), it supersedes pre-production materials that say something different. In case you missed it, teraleak wasn't for public consumption, or Game Freak would have released it to the public prior and outright stated its relation to the core games (If any). I'm sorry your delulu don't fit the games, but I don't give a fuck for the opinions of peons too stupid to play the games and not see the call-backs and alignments of the games within the timeline. They're not the Elder Scrolls.
>>
>>58394116
>FUCK OFF I'M SAYING MY HEADCANON IS MORE ACCURATE THAN...
Sorry, not reading your tantrum, I don't care. The games themselves also say 20 years btw but of course you wouldn't know, you haven't played them.

Yeah Cynthia was 28 in her game so she was born in 1971/1972. By Z-A time she's like 48

This thread is further proof that Masuda was right in telling us not to look too hard into the timeline... because Game Freak didn't either.

Games say 10/11 between Gen 1 and Gen 7, as Red's either 20 or 21 in his appearance there (you know, because Red IS Gen 1 and Gen 1 was 20 years before the release of Sun and Moon). I'm sorry your headcanon is so precious, you're going full-retard but faggots like you always seem to ignore the actual canon game releases and their details to spew your childish delusion everywhere.
But given that same fucking leak you adopted your delusion from ALSO confirms video game development is malleable and changeable (as I'm sure you remember the pitch stated "while keeping in mind the setting of the original work, this title will break away from the traditional aesthetic style and be developed as a separate main story with a different world view and gameplay", only for it to become a retread/repeat of the "soothe the Legendary" plot from DP while they attempted to begin the game in modern Sinnoh), seems your sperging is another betatard decimated by her betashit not actually being canon. Go join the blobmon arceus nigs in the bin.

>>Games say 10/11 between Gen 1 and Gen 7
Stopped reading here. Games say Porygon was recently created in the Kanto games but 20 years ago in the Alola games. Also I noticed you tried to convince me to ignore the teraleak because it's not something public GF released to the fans, and yet that pic is an unused room from LA, so by your own logic I have even more reason to discard you trash? Well, I don't care about your faulty logic anyway, I already know you are a salty schizo.

30 year old men in anime always look 50. Look at Cyrus. Lusamine is the stereotypical middle aged woman that focuses on making herself look younger with fucktons of expensive cosmetic treatments.

>>58394116
The teraleak is not just prototypes and removed/discarded content, there's a lot of files for game design. World setting materials doccuments meant as reference for the series as a whole wrote down by the series' scenario writer were in there. His timeline found does match the timeline he previously released on twitter and in-game evidence, even real world evidence like Hokkaido's colonization.

Now I see how you laid it out, it's more like how a normal person would space it in a graph vs how a channer would greentext it
That's a little more time between Gen 4 and 5 than I had figured but it would make sense if that Rocket grunt had a child in that time frame that was well above toddler age.

I was thinking about it this morning though, the timeline of the 3D games. I think SM/USUM was 2 years after XY but it could be only 1 year. I don't recall anything in SWSH that ever gave any answers to how much time had passed. But I feel pretty confident that going on some of the dialogue of SV, that it took place two years after SWSH/CT. Penny was away in Paldea the first time in the school year that Team Star was formed. Then she was suspended and sent back to Galar for a year which probably was after SWSH because we never see her there before. A year after the suspension she's back in Paldea, so two years. Streamers come and go quickly so with that new character Canari, I would say SV and Iono's popularity is recent, maybe two years later at most, potentially happening at the same time as SV.

Basically, for ZA to be 5 years after XY, it has to go something like this
XY>2 years>SM/USUM>1 year>SWSH>2 years>SV/ZA
You can float that spare year either between SM and SWSH or SV and ZA but unless I remember wrong, the other 2 year gaps don't really have much flexibility.

>>58393788
See around the time ORAS came out up through LGPE they just got really stupid and lazy with the timeline so much that they seemingly abandoned it with SWSH until they were forced to address it again with this game. ORAS seemed to take place at the same point in the timeline as the original, with them referencing a prototype of the Royal Unova which would eventually be in BW and they cheekily refused to give a firm answer by leaving a blank two digit number for the amount of years it will take to get the cruise running. But then they bring in Wally in SM and he's literally no different than he was in ORAS, but Grimsley is so much that he's got grey strands, then you've got Red and Blue of a generic young adult age that is probably 20 but they left it vague enough by not saying anything so they could easily be older to fit a large BW timegap. But then you've got LGPE which definitely shouldn't be canon and there's Mina who isn't that much younger than she would be in SM but the amount of years would make her around 30 which is just a bit off.

Truthfully, while it's fun to try to piece this together it's obvious that they don't know what the fuck they're doing and they don't really care to figure it out, they just make things up for what fits in the moment. I think they were a little cowardly to go with another 10+ year ago for ZA so they just picked 5 years so it wouldn't seem like that long but in reality they gear this towards borderline toddlers and they didn't want an amount of years greater than the age they are now or some gay shit even though the median age of the players is probably like 28 at this point

That was my entire point, that it's so ridiculous and inconsistent that you really can't consider him canon. You're the dumb one.
>>
>>58397671
>no u
No, retard, you covered it as something that could remotely indicate anything in regards the timeline compared to other staff that actually could. Just humouring the possibility is retarded, there's nothing about Wally in SM that influences anything in your argument or the timeline, absolutely nothing at all.
>>
>>58397704
All I was doing was listing the series of inconsistent tidbits from that era. Fucking hell learn how to read. No wonder I never come to this shithole whenever there isn't a new game coming out, it's full of idiots like you who don't know how to read and start flinging insults from their lack of reading comprehension and it's been like this for at least 12 years. No where else that I've ever been to on the internet has the level of stupid and disagreeable people as those you'll find in /vp/.
>>
>>58397808
And as I told you, that's not an inconsistency because it's a clearly non-canon part and shouldn't even be considered at all, it's like calling Reshiram, Zekrom and Kyurem appearing in Paldea an inconsistency. It's not canon, and the mere act of listing it as something that may have any significance (in favour or against the timeline) is stupid. You may as well say characters talking about opening the main menu is inconsistent with the world, too.
Sorry you are too obtuse or pretending to be too obtuse to understand something this simple.

Red was 11 and Brendan was 12 in 1996-1997, if they were born in 1985 they should be 34 now.
Ethan and Lucas are both 12 in 1999-2000 so they were born in 1987 and are 32 by the time Z-A happens
Hilbert is 14 in 2010 so he was born in 1996 and is 23 now
Calem is 14 apparently, so he should have been born in 1999 and should be pushing his 20s
Elio was 11 between 2015-2016 so he's from 2004 and currently 15, still a minor.
We don't know the other protagonists' ages but unless Victor was 15 in his game he should still be a minor, and Florian and Paxton are clearly still minors.
And Rei is fucking dead.
