When did the Pokemon timeline go to shit?
Gen 2
>>58737101ORAS
>>58737101For me it was when they made gen 1 and gen 3 take place around the same time. It doesn’t break things too hard other than raising questions like why a Masterball ended up in the evil team’s hideout when it’s still a prototype. But it feels like there’s no good reason for RSE not to happen after GSC other than keeping consistency with the time machine lore in gen 2 by allowing you to regularly trade between RSE and FRLG because they take place at the same time.
>>58737101Other than LG there aren't much issues.I do agree with >>58737225, they should have every gen happen after the previous one(which is pretty much what they do now).PLA is the only game that merits not doing that.
>>58737101When you Pokemon GO to the polls.
>>58737101Legpiss is an isekai, it takes place in an entirely alternate universe where Red didn't even stop Giovanni
>>58737225>>58737281According to the teraleak gen 3 was originally meant to be a prequel, like 5 years before gen 1 iirc so its final placement is actually much later than originally planned
>>58737101FireRed and LeafGreen, so Gen 3 for reasons >>58737225 stated. Gens 1 and 2 were the only time the timeline made sense.
The timeline has been pretty much irrelevant ever since the Sun and Moon made the parallel dimensions a permanent fixture of the series.
>>58737347What would be the point in it being a prequel? Were they planning to have younger Kanto/Johto characters? I can’t think of a good reason why the games would take place earlier except to have a bigger time window between the other games to avoid references, but that was already accomplished by Hoenn being further away from Kanto and Johto.
>>58737101Let's Go isn't Gen 1
>>58737439Let's Go is supposed to take place at same time as FRLG or RGBY, anon, as seen with Giovanni's operations, Porygon's recent invention and the change in how pokémon leagues work. All that wasn't less than 7 years before SM and USUM. Hell the gap between gen 4 and gen 5 is of a decade already
>>58737101It's funny because after gen 8 I just kinda assumed they just did another reboot universe since ss barely mentioned any other world events and bdsp only mentioned what dp did. Then sv did the same and but za reintroduced basically all the gen 6 lore so now we are back to the third timeline theory and all the inconsistencies and bullshit it brings
>>58737382That doesn't interfere with the timeline, specially the way SM handled parallel worlds.In fact the timeline has been pretty simple since then.
>>58737101>When did the Pokemon timeline go to shit?>that one time when Kalos colonized Galar in 1066>that one time when Galar (ruled by a Kalosi house) invaded Kalos to claim to throne>that one time when a Galarian explorer got killed in Alola>that one time when Kalos helped Unovan rebels against Galar>that one time when Kalos took over the continent until a Galarian general defeated their emperor>that one time when Unova fire bombed Kanto and nuked Hoenn after they attacked Alola
Timelines in Nintendo games never mattered and they don't care about continuity. They just say random shit to make autists shut the fuck up once in awhile and it doesn't work.
>>5873748099% of the shit people complain about is either menial or just false.
ORAS ruined it>In Masuda's lore, they initially said Megas were a Kalos thing>Enter Ohmori, they make a Hoenn remake and shoehorn Megas in it because it's the big gimmick of the generation>They need to explain that there are Megas in this remake because it's a parallel universe to the GBA original>There are now a bunch of retards thinking that all of the games without Mega Evolution (literally every game prior to XY) and the games with Megas (XY, ORAS, SM/USUM and Let's Go) take place in different timelines>SwSh isn't even the "Mega timeline" just because they removed Megas
>>58737499>SwSh isn't even the "Mega timeline" just because they removed MegasThe headcanon apparently considers SWSH part of the mega timeline anyways despite it breaking the rule they made up.
>>58737459ORAS made a new timeline that is entirely separate from Gen 1 and Gen 3. XY, ORAS, USUM and Let's Go are all connected, but they are not connected to previous gens.
>>58737101Let's GO Piss Everywhere is non canon
>>58737101Like any franchise, when they introduced a multiverse.t.zinnia
People don't actually still believe that there's a timeline for these things, right? Ever since the early 10s, Pokemon's been pushing hard the idea that each game is more or less its own thing.
>>58737518Are you retarded? ORAS being in a different universe doesn't mean it happens later in the timeline. Let's Go happens at same time as FRLG and RGB, HGSS happens at same time as GSC, ORAS happens at same time as RS and Emerald, BDSP happens at same time as DP and Platinum.The timeline doesn't change in any way
>>58737499>I'm really mad when people read what the games say and ignore my copeOkay? Good for you, kiddo.
>>58737101Gen 3 doesn't make sense. GSC they just discovered dark and steel types and then the first encounter you find is a Poochyena.
>>58737612Just because you are extremely ignorant and stupid doesn't mean everyone else is the same. This is from BW development btw >>58737459 and then B2W2 came out also in the early 10s and the entire premise was its chronological placement compared to the previous game. And then we got XY with people talking about Team Plasma past operations in Unova. And then SM with Sina and Dexio talking about the Kalos protagonists. And then SwSh having Type Null blueprints. And then SV and Z-A both with separate indicators of Galar games happening before your adventure start. Tl;DRYou are incredibly dumb.
>>58737630>TL;DRSorry for that.
>>58737499I know you like to play dumb but gen 7 and gen 9 literally have MegaFug and Primals. We are in the ORAS universe ever since gen 6, if this fact makes you so mad you should just kill yourself instead of shitposting and replying to yourself at 4chan
>>58737660People get thatThat doesn't make the timeline any less retarded
>>58737101Mina is just so high she forgot how old she is.
>>58737725>People get that No, not really. Some retards do think ORAS alone is its own universe and every other game happens in a different one, they think it's one single timeline with all games except ORAS.
>>58737613>ORAS being in a different universe doesn't mean it happens later in the timeline.>Are you retarded?Are you?
>>58737843>if Brendan has black hair in one universe but brown in the other then Brendan's birth, arrival to Hoenn, clashes with villains, encounters with legendary pokemon and rise to league champion happened in completely different yearsSorry, I shouldn't have asked, you clearly are retarded after all
>>58737836>some retardsIt's literally one sad frenchfag apparently.
>>58737856>different universe>the timelineI can't believe this has to be spelled out for you. There is no timeline if you have different universes retard.
>>58737874>the existence of multiple universes means each universe doesn't have a linear flow of time from one event to another, what is called a timelineI honestly think you deserve this last (You) just because this is the best bait I've seen in years.
>>58737101With Pokemon Conquest
>>58737101Withered Pikachu was when the series shat on its audience
>>58737103it's honestly crazy how open they are about not caring about pokemon
>>58737101So how old are Red and Blue in LGPE and SM? They are older than Mina or the same age?The events of Kanto on that timeline then occur a lot later than the other Kanto games
>>58737973Do you really want to explain to your 4 year old niece that professor oak is fucking dead. It's fine. That's not what pokemon is about.This shit didn't even attempt to have a story until gen 5.
>>58737101When we rejected gen 5Unironically masuda said so. They gave up half way through gen 6 and sold it to USA in gen 7.Gg pokemon
>>58737101After Ohmori's MCU multiverse wankfest, everything is up for grabs. Although if you really want to say something, there was a more consistent timeline between Red/Blue to X/Y.
>>58737101>TimelineThe moment they started doing shit like that. Fucking pokemon of all things didn't needed timelines and multiverses.
>>58737103gen 2 is literally the only gen after 1 where the timeline makes sense
gamefreak doesn't even try to stay consistent within one single game do you fucking seriously think they care about this
So basically the Spanish and British are racist to the french
I don't care because Mina is CUTE! CUTE! CUTE!
>>58737101ORAS and Zinnia killed pokemon lore forever
>>58737101>She is 13-15This isn't true>Generation 1 and Generation 7 are 10-20 years apartThis also isn't true
>>58739145Everyone is racist to the french
>>58739158You are a retard, sorry this is how you find out
>>58737508Swsh is obviously part of the mega timeline since Roaring Moon’s dex entry references megas. Leon is also referenced in PLZA. But really >>58737480 is right
>>58739168And your head anons will never become real, bye
>>58739158
>>58739158>Generation 1 and Generation 7 are 10-20 years apartPorygon is said to be created 20 years before SM and it existed in gen 1 the difference can't be bigger that 20 yearsAnabel says she's been kidnapped 10 years before SM and she was in Hoenn that was happening the same time as gen 1 so it had to be at least 10 years between these two
>>58739417technically this is outdated because we know Porygon was created in 1995 and gen 1 was in 1996That means:Gen 1/3>3 yearsGen 2/4>12 yearsGen 5>2 yearsGen BW2/6>2 years (Grimsley)Gen 7
>>58737101>>58737459Let's Go takes place in an altered Gen 1 timeline where Red/Green/Blue are all actually a few years older. All three of them have already completed their journey, but they did it before Team Rocket's activities were stopped by You and your bitchass rival. This lets Mina be around the same age as Red/Blue without completely fucking up the timeline. Not only that, but it (along with its young Mina) is just flat out not "canon" to the main timeline, because Mina obviously doesn't appear in RGBY/FRLG, and either RGBY or FRLG has to be the "canon" version of events over LGPE, due to Red and Blue's age and having defeated Team Rocket in Kanto.The easiest way to "fix" the timeline is to not care, though. The distance between the games doesn't matter, and after Gen 4, all games except for remakes just take place after the previous one, with the exception of PLA because that's in the 1860s.PLA > Gen 1/3 > Gen 2/4 > BW > B2W2 > XY > SM (USUM) > SwSh > SV > Z-AWas that so hard?
>>58739369Did you have a stroke or are you even dumber than I thought?
