Quick math
My theory on the timeline is that Dialga was making lunch but he accidentally spilled his apple juice on the time line and he was like whatever ill just make another one over here
Dialga is such a clumsy pokemon
And the fact that we have a time web alludes to the fact that he does this every day but never learns.
@@gravity1537 dammit dialga
@@catsthatsmokemeth He's doing his best don't judge him.
god dammit dialga, stop spilling your mega evolution biscuits over your timelines
Honestly it’s pretty obvious that gamefreak never intended to make a cohesive timeline. It’s just odd that they decide to put old characters into new games and say that they’re x years older than they were before, because that just begs fans to try to put a timeline together
Yeah
Actually they did. Except dumbass fans kept asking for remakes and Gamefreak decided to keep moving the timeline around because of it. If you played Gen 3 and 4. It worked well because both Gen 1 and 2 happened parallel to 3 and 4. it all started getting fucked up when Gen 3 remake happened and they decided to have that run parallel to Gen 6.
Well, they did but i think they gave up come gen 6 onwards
The game timeline is more confusing than the anime timeline.
Sounds about right☝️
The best part is, you can see in Red's character model that Sun and Moon takes place 20 years after Gen 1.
Which is perfect as Sun and Moon were the 20th Anniversary games.
Wdym in his character model? He looks fresh out of Uni that man is no older than 25
@@timdoe8895 probably a reference to the fact his shirt in Sun and Moon features a stylized 96 on it (similar to sports shirts) which is a reference to the year Red and Green versions initially released.
That being said it doesn’t actually mean Sun and moon take place 20 years later, as that would make red and blue/green 31 years old, when their clearly only in their early 20s.
On a related note, there IS a theory that Sun and Moon are actually in the LGPE timeline, as unlike in their intro in the PWT in BW2, red and blue are only referred to as “previous champions from the Kanto region” with no mention of Red’s role in defeating team rocket. The implication then being the Red and Blue from SM/USUM are actually the older versions of the LGPE npc versions.
So Black and White are 13 years after Generations 2/4?
He was 10 in Gen 1, and looks about 20-ish in Gen 7, so it seems more likely that it's a 10 year gap between the first and seventh gens
@@boianko Red was actually 11 in Gen 1
Just some thoughts about the Pokemon timelines I've had over the years.
In Heartgold and Soulsilver, Steven introduces himself as THE champion of Hoenn, meaning Emerald cannot share the same timeline as HGSS. In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Steven wants Wallace to become the champion, this may be a desire shared across other timelines. This would allow Ruby and Sapphire to share the same timeline as Black 2 and White 2 as it explains how Wallace is a champion in Gen 5's PWT. With that said, I don't think Emerald can be written off as non-canon since it ties into Gen 7. The Battle Frontier theme plays for Annabel even in Gen 7 implying she came from a timeline where she was a frontier brain, and of course the Battle Frontier didn't exist in RS. So its hard to accept which of the Gen 3 games are cannon and just say that even the Original Timeline is split in two. Also in Gen 5, Cynthia briefly mentions the events of the Distortion World, allowing only Platinum to share the same timeline as Gen 5. Finally Let's Go does belong in a corner as the video explains. Its so hard to fit that game to even a new parallel timeline that I'm just convinced Game Freak doesn't care anymore, and frankly neither did I at that point.
there is no non canon all is canon pokemon runs on mntuvlse rules
I think the best way to see RS and E's situation is to think that the events of Brandon/May conquering the Gym Badges, the League and defeating the Evil Team(s) occur just tiny bit later in Emerald as compared to Ruby/Sapphire. Like... everything in the Emerald timeline happens at the exact same time as the Ruby/Sapphire timeline, EXCEPT Steven has basically JUST left the role of Champion (giving it to Wallace) and the Battle Frontier is at least in the making and is finished and open by the end of the main Emerald plot. Other than that, everything happens exactly like Ruby timewise.
Well he may be the former champion after RSE but he could always collect all 8 badges and take his place back before HGSS
Fun fact: It’s a canon fact that every single Pokémon cartridge is a parallel dimension.
*"Hehehe, I am already 4 quadruple parallel universes ahead of you."* - Speedrunner Mario
It would make much more sense, so like in the Ruby timeline, team Magma awakens Groudon but it is caught, and in the Omega Ruby timeline, team Magma awakens Primal Groudon but it is caught anyways.
Ok so in Sapphire and Alpha Sapphire is the same but replace it
Same with dark souls

@@rjhubbard5392 yes it is its evolution is super cool
I know all of this and all theory too
I kind of feel like Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon has its own little alternate timeline. The story, while largely enough is the same, still manages to have its own differences. It's not a case of Emerald or Platinum where the story is expanded upon, but it changes just enough to warrant it to separate from Sun and Moon.
Didn’t sun and moon come out yesterday why is there an ultra
@@molinj.7174 That was like 3 years ago
@@molinj.7174 @josé I hate to break it to you guys, but Sun and Moon were released more than six years ago.
I have the feeling Legends: Arceus will have a major impact on the timeline, I have a theory that that game will be the first game playing out on one of the "evil team victorious" timelines!
Not sure why but seems plausible
I honestly want more games that happen between Gen 2/4 and 5.2 games, cuz there's definitely a MASSIVE time-skip.
Well, kinda?
sorry all it did was create a time loop paradox 💀
Welp turns out it's a god-damn isekai AND it takes place in the past but also there's already rideable pokemon in Alola
Edit: Oh and also Porygon appearently exists, even though ti was supposed to have been created 20 years before sun/moon, so I guess that means PLA takes place 20 years before sun/moon
Nintendo and Gamefreak: I know you have a lot of questions about the timelines, but in order to answer those questions, we have to talk about P A R A L L E L U N I V E R S E S
Every copy of Pokemon is personalized
Wouldn't dialga and palkia somehow be involved at that point?
@@johnsferrazza1557 Well yeah. If there are new universes then of course the gods of time and space are gonna be involved
@Davi Gameplayer Hoped someone would :)
"marios, king kopper kidnapped the princess and stole my eggs"
Don’t forget that game freak confirmed that each and every player’s save file is a separate canon universe :)
To be fair, that could sort of be said with almost any game. Not really a huge leap.
@@FlamingFoxProd THere's a difference between unoficially implying it to be canon and outright saying it is actually canon.
@@zebimicio5204 Yeah no shit, I'm just saying it makes sense and doesn't actually matter that much
@@FlamingFoxProd you implued that every game could be said like that, my whole point was it wasnt. If the creator said it is is canon, then it is. Therefore, if they ther games don't have their developers backing up that statement, then no it is not "the same"
Also there was even a dialogue about this in the game itself, which makes it more established than whatever you tried to imply here.
Tbh that's really sweet. It's like they are officially saying like "you are the main character and your individualized save file *is* important. And I appreciate that.
You can make a Timeline out of anything, because everything has to have some sort of Timeline. So that's nothing special. The better question is: did the creators consider the Timeline and thought about it in the creation process. If the Timeline that the fans are trying to reconstruct gets as complex as this one - I think it's safe to say that the answer to that is "no".
thats correct, maybe because they didnt consider it would be a big hit. Many IP's were launched on the game boy classic/game boy color and didnt made it to this date. Pokemon and among other few, were "the chosen ones" maybe with the power of anime (for pokemon that became a boom for it on the west) or maybe tru heavy marketing (what happened to mario/zelda franchise)
Granted, but if the devs continually add recurring characters, and even a character like Ingo into Legends Arceus (who was from BW). Then we can also assume, that yes they do consider a linear timeline. The multiple timeline theories are to me less viable than it just being a single timeline, i.e. the remakes are just remakes and they may or may not add to the lore what the developers didn't get to. Game mechanics shouldn't (in my opinion) be considered.
But that's the fun part you dork
Given the existence of Annabel? I'd say they know what they're doing. (Except Wally)
Gen 6 has referenced the original timeline once in omega ruby and alpha sapphire. It was the Rayquaza girl specifically who mentions it.
I prefer the simplicity of how the manga does it. It’s all one timeline and there is a definite passage of time with the original characters aging. As far as I can remember, Mega Evolutions are introduced as this cool new thing and left at that. The remakes are also still part of the timeline, but are extensions of the original story. The best example is probably Emerald when all the main cast come together Avengers style.
I think E4 as bunch of villains is anticlimatic idea
Dialga: Hey... Hey Palkia. You know what would be funny...
Palkia: If we made an alternate timeline where mega stone exist?

You honestly did a great job explaining it! Thanks!!!
All we know about Sword and Shield is that it takes place after the creation of Porygon... that’s about it
And its evolutions, meaning that it _possibly_ takes place before gens 2 and 4.
Sword and Shield doesn’t have mega evolution, so it probably fits in the original timeline somewhere.

For one thing, the Mystery Dungeon games take place in the distant past, before humans even existed.

The thing is, with different timelines that influence thousands of years, it's to be expected that slight differences in ages of normal characters in the original timeline. Because of the introduction of something as influential as Mega Evolution, something like some parents deciding to have a baby earlier or later than they would in the original timeline wouldn't be too surprising. This explains why some characters are in Mega timeline but not in original, and why some are different ages. In fact, it's amazing that they ended up so similar to the original timeline, given how much things should've changed.
Wally can't getter older because he have Satoshi's genes
Say ash or else
ClawZ I REFUSE
It's actually because he's likely a Wally from the past, otherwise it's the unidentified illness he has.
Tinha que ser BR vendedor de paçoca.
Or more likely the events of ORAS happen later in the Mega timeline than the events of RSE in the original timeline.
Type: Null being in Sword and Shield imply that it happens after the events of Sun and Moon since before that only three existed and were all locked away at the Aether Foundation.
Or they could have been made in an alternate time-line that doesn't exist as a game, but in which tyoe null was created
Gladion gave your protagonist type null in sun and moon and gladion stole it so someone else could have also
The Pokedex implies that the plans were stolen and more were later created. "Rumor has it that the theft of top-secret research notes led to a new instance of this Pokémon being created in the Galar region." -Pokemon Sword
Emperor Emboar oh I have not read it and I have sword so I should check
Emperor Emboar ok so I checked and you are absolutely right
I like it when game companies don’t intend to have a difficult timeline but they end up making it as convoluted as humanly possible to trigger the theorists. Like almost every big Nintendo franchise.
Great channel bro, I hope you blow up. I just subbed
Just a correction for minute 6:20
It's not that they come from worlds where the protagonist was defeated. They come from worlds where they were never opposed by anyone. As you battle them they say stuff like "would things have been different in my world if a trainer like you had appeared?". So it's not like the Zelda timeline with a specific line for the defeated hero, they come from timelines without heroes.
Some fans have the nice theory that every single cartridge is its own universe, its own version of the multiverse, and therefore canon. If that is to be the case, these evil bosses that succeeded in their worlds come from cartridges that were never sold or werent played to that point of the story.
So when we trade pokemon they go to a completely different universe?
"would things have been different in my world if a trainer like you had appeared?" this sentence doesn't cancel out that there was a hero but they defeated the hero.
@@CarlosIvanFocus Unless it's an in-game trade with an NPC, yes, it's a different universe.
@@jeffboy4231 You might be right. Maybe "Would things have been different in my world if a trainer like you had appeared?" means that a trainer DID appear but couldn't defeat them, unlike the player character.
This makes sense because you can trade pokemon between Pokémon XY and OR/AS and that could be like some weird time travel/dimension hopping that does, right? And if I remember correctly you couldn’t mega evolve when battling against someone from X and Y or something?

there is the thing where he sees ho-oh in the first episode that makes him happy forever. I think in order for him to be happy forever a entirely new timeline had to be created just for him
Very interesting when explained like this.
honestly let's go doesn't have to be it's own timeline, bc unless i'm mistaken it can just happen on the mega timeline ~5 years before sun/moon, which would justify mina's age (presumably ~13 in LGPE and ~18 in USUM) and also make sense that red and blue are older.
It doesn't necessarily have to happen parallel to the original gen 1 games, given both the originals and remakes happened on a different timeline
There's no way in hell Nintendo intentionally made this timeline
edit: ok it's game freak you win comment section
They made one before lol
It was the same case for the Legend of Zelda, before the fans forced the Hyrule Historia to add a timeline, which Nintendo hated so much that they made Breath of the Wild in the far future, long after the timeline stuff has become irrelevant... But if Nintendo wanted stray from the timeline, why did they give Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity ,a game that presents the same dilemma of Ocarina of Time (Time Travel), a green light?
Well, if the original team ever made a timeline for Pokémon, it wouldn't be Nintendo but Game Freak
@@AlexRonai Nintendo made one for legend of Zelda and it made non sense
@@sakuguruxgxxshorts308 The Zelda one is actually a thing pushed by the fans as a comment said above so they made one without great conviction. And Zelda is a serie made by Nintendo themselves while Pokemon isn't

Okay I believe you
Upon watching this video and afterwards replaying Pokémon X I actually discovered that Professor Sycamore asks himself at one point "why are mega evolutions only in kalos" which makes me think it can also be in the non-mega timeline
See, I think X and Y are main timeline, and it's ORAS that splits the timeline that continues into SM.
@@johnbuscher I heard XY mentioned about situations in some region (White/Black IIRC). So yeah, XY should be in the main timeline.
do you are have stupid? its in the mega timeline cause the mega evolutions exist in the world and people know about them
@@gamershadowz1537 bruv. They literally say "I wonder why this only happens in Kalos". If it was happening in Hoenn, they'd probably at least sneak that in as an easter egg before ORAS came out.

Pokemon Puzzle League takes place in the timeline where Cyrus succeeds in reconstructing the universe into a perfect form. That's why Pokemon Puzzle League is the only game remaining on that timeline.
Oras,the delta episode, that draconid zinnia said that there is an alternate universe where mega evolution doesn't exist, so that support your timeline split
That should be the universe of R/S/E
Zinnia makes me wish i could be in the alternate universe where Zinnia doesn't exist.
Imagine how nice that would be.
Well... pokemon battle royal explaination shows during the weapon's blast that made mega evolution out of countless pokemon's energy it ended up charging a group a orbiting meteors which leads to the meteor crashing in hoehn years ago. It gave off the same energy that lead all the megas in ORAS.
But now that you think about it.... if mega evolution is spread throughout multiple regions thanks to these meteors... then would the DP remakes have megas since veilstone city actually has meteors in that city.
Could megas been in BW all this time thanks to the meteorite in the museum, and why we have mega audino? Just a little theory
@Brent Mueller ..but still i would not call these "alternative timelines".
Instead some like dimensions make sense with guzlord's domain
"Ultra ruins" and how in both ultra wilds and ultra ruins is actually super creepy if you play the song in reverse... ...yea...plus maybe these dimensions are like how we have these "alternatives timelines" like explained in the video...
But i think of them as sorta... "what if" or "another world" ...since timeline just doesn't make sense and feel good to me...
[Lets just drop this im just saying since of not causing a fight.]
But dude, that's exactly the point of the mega-arc - the old games are on that universe, that's why we don't have mega evolution on the old games lol
Dude, I loved all your poképuns! 🤣
Every player's game being its own timeline really feeds into that original Red/Blue mentality of the devs wanting to connect everyone. There's a real charm to it.
Seems legit
Hello Verifed Man
Yooo
But *proto*
It is legit.
B uT Proto~!!! Nah I'm just ducking around 😂😂😂
Porygon can be caught in the wild in the SwSh DLC meaning it takes place after the events of RBGY/RSE.
Tech is basically confirmed to be advancing, as people now have smart phones instead of PokeGears.
Rotom is now incorporated into more elements of home life through smart phones, computers and more and during SM it's mentioned how they wanted to expand rotoms uses outside of the rotom Dex.
This would place SwSh after SM/USUM.
Now the only issue is which timeline it takes place in.
With no Megas, its looking like the original timeline. You'd expect a region so heavily rooted in competition would use every edge they could to win a battle, so Megas would be used if they existed...
But then again, the game isn't done yet. We'll have to wait and see if Megas are added in a later patch.
tbh, i doubt Porygon in the wild in SWSH is any indication, since you can catch Porygon in the wild in Lets Go as well (Which means it suggests SWSH is on the same timeline as Lets Go). They just want to make some Pokemon more accesible (Which is evident in Sword and Shield, since you can catch Trade evolutions and stone evolutions in the wild, which previously was impossible for some Pokemon).
I feel removing Megas in this game is just a retcon they never really thought about and just a gameplay choice to give Dynamaxing its own spotlight. I think Pokemon are just making games in the Mega timeline from now on so as to not complicate the timeline anymore and removing any references is them trying to less complicate it as just a singular game on its own. It makes sense though that SWSH would be in the Mega timeline after SM as the advancing technology is said to be more widespread in this timeline and Rotom tech would be incorporated after the Rotom tech advancements, compared to the Non mega timeline not having as much technology.
I really......really wish they could give us back Mega-Evolution.
I think it's just that they decided not to use mega evolutions, because they already have dynamax, so it would be in the mega timeline, but without megas
They had time machines in gen 2 and were resurrecting fossils and making porygon all the way in gen 1. Them not having smart phones is a matter of aesthetics.
That's crazy that there was a timeline jump of a character from OG Timeline Emerald to Mega Timeline Sun/Moon, describes as washing up on the shore, which is the exact story of Legends Arceus, washing up on the shores of Hisui from the Diamond and Pearl timeline, along with Ichigo from BW

A good way to explain the age of Wally and the Age of Red is by saying that, due to the change in the timeline, the events of the ORAS actually take place at a different time than in the original one… while this makes it a lot more confusing, it is a possibility that ORAS could take place closer t the time of X and Y.

I think Wally is just meant to be a really small sickly character. He didn’t grow much because of that.
When you realize red is 14 when he went to mt. Silver
Wonder what kind of music he was playing

Team Plasma is just a slightly less evil version of PETA
I was about to argue, but then I realized that even though Team Plasma’s PETA thing was really just a cover for a world domination quest, their kill rate is probably still lower than PETA’s 🙃
Ah yes "slightly"
@@alvinolit8319 in that case, significantly
@@wildfire9280 I don't even think evil teams in Pokemon actually kill anyone. Yeah, a lot of them wanted to destroy the world, but they always failed and never actually ended up killing someone. Only deaths I can really remember in Pokemon is Ash dying twice, (First Movie & I Choose You) Pikachu dying, (Diancie) Latias dying, (Heroes) Snoutland dying, (SM Season 1) and Meowth dying numerous times by mimiku. (Entire SM series) The only deaths that really stuck was Snountland in SM and Latias on heroes. Everyone else was just revived. In reality, Rainbow Cyrus has the highest kill rate since he eliminated all life in the universe (easily quadrillions of deaths) with the second highest being Lysander. (Billions of deaths, due to all the humans and pokemon he supposedly killed with Ultima Weapon.)
@@krimsonkatt Yeah, I meant Plasma is significantly less evil than PETA
My mind is blown!! Cool to see a timeline put together like this! Couldn't the Lets Go games fit into the mega timeline?
I love you keep up the world ill watch everyone
The Japanese text about Mina's age (13~15才くらいの見た目) in the Let's Go games means she look like 13-15, not that she is, they could mean that she looks mature while still being a little girl
So the Let's Go games could still be in the Mega Timeline actually
Problem is that Red and Blue are in their 20s in Alola (Which they aren't in Lets Go).
You can just say LPLE takes events after the gen 1. That explains everything
@@unknown-Bzop1 yeah like 3 years later right before red goes off to the mountain in gen 2 that would place a 13 year old mina at exactly 20 meaning that she would be finishing her time as a captain during sun and moon
@@nickdentoom1173 I kinda feel like that’s just art style though. Everyone looks the same age unless they have grey hair in let’s go. All we have to go off on age is actions. I can’t really say if red and blue were mature but they seemed ‘strong’ if that’s the right word.
@@alexskocy9948 this also works.
other universes and ultra wormholes are essentially gamefreak's cop out to no longer having to care about the timeline
It’s every lazy writer or series’ instant out
@@DuskLegend I would not call it "lazy". They have so much to think about. They have designs to make, graphics, gameplay mechanics, characters, etc. to plan and they have to do so while being limited by the Pokemon Company because they have to launch the new game the moment a new generation begins. And let's be honest, the anime with Ash still being 10 after so many travels is incoherant as hell, so the fact that the games have even a bit of coherence between them, even if they resort to alternate timelines, is something I'm grateful for. Wally's unaged appearance in SM is just stupid though. If only he wasn't there. I would've preferred Steven. (And as fanfiction maniac, the fact they keep some things vague is perfect for adjustments in the settings)
I think it was more their way of trying to do damage control after X and Y’s....everything
@@kanpaifighto what did xy do? ORAS was where other universes was introduced
Justin Arney X and Y can only be explained by another universe. Santalune Forest is literally Viridian Forest exactly, Mewtwo exists in a cave in Kalos despite having been man-made in Kanto, not to even mention the two Mewtwo-ites, a supposedly naturally occurring stone which reacts with a man-made Pokemon but not the one it’s based off? It broke a lot.
I always assumed lets go takes place on the mega timeline, but after the events of red and blue were supposed to happen (but were completely different). This explains why Red and Blue already completed their journey (that didn't include beating team rocket) and can be made to fit Mina's age as well.
Could you do either a FFX video or a kingdom hearts series video? Keep up the awesome work, you’re really hilarious
Kingdom Hearts is like the shrine on top of the mountain that you have to train for life to get to, but you should take a crack at it
:o How didn't I took think of that!
if we are talking about the lore yea but if we're talking about the placements they are easy as long we don't include the mobile game because as far as I know we still don't know where they take place post key blade war
It pretty much easy to explain what happens in the timeline but the lore itself is headache infusing
Kh X. And union
Kh dark road
Kh birth by sleep
Kh fragmentary passage =Kh 1
Kh chain of memories = kh days
Kh 2 = kh recoded
Kh dream drop distant
Kh 3 = Kh remind
Kh melody of memory
Technically, Third versions: Yellow, Crystal, Emerald, Platinum, Ultra Sun/Moon should take place in a different timeline where the events happened differently with different elements.
Yeah, for example we have lot of new features in Emerald which was not in the original R/S games so the fact that our character can meet Rayray, we have different champion there, and player's character invited to the Battle Frontier Island is a proof that third version timeline are all somewhat different than the original versions thus they are a different/paralell timeline on they own.
Technically each save file is its own universe.
Technically, even the two original versions should take place in different timelines regarding each other. Like events of Ruby cannot occur in the same universe as events of Sapphire.
Gold and Silver could be considered sequels to Pokémon Yellow specifically and in a separate timeline from Red and Blue, given that Red has all three starters and his main Pokémon is Pikachu.
This was cool!
5:00 You mean that Lucas/Dawn could actually be 27 during Black and White?
The Let's Go timeline makes no sense because if Red is an NPC, did he just ... not have anything to do with Giovanni?
Yep. In LGPE Red and his friends are basically just really talented Trainers that already had their journey before any of the Team Rocket stuff happened, so Chase/Elaine stopped Team Rocket instead. Blue actually gets (very minimally) involved so in LGPE Blue is (very, very marginally) more of a hero than Red, in the same sense that 0.001 is a larger number than 0.
This is something that really bugs me about Let's Go. Like, what did they become so well-known for if not taking down Team Rocket? It's left really vague...
@@EpicNerdsWithCameras blue still beat the elite 4 and became champion and red still beat blur and resigned his position as champion, following a few year time skip blue became the 8th gym leader. That’s why there’re famous
I have a theory that the Let’s Go games take place in the Mega Timeline before or at the same time as ORAS and Pokémon Origins takes place before them because in Pokémon Origins, Red doesn’t defeat Team Rocket and Mega Evolution does exist. That meant that, whatever their names are, defeated Team Rocket instead. But, you might think this isn’t true because in Pokémon Origins, Red picks a Charamander, not a Bulbusuar. But! I think there was an alternate version of Pokémon Origins where Red picked a Bulbusuar. So ya, that’s my theory.
that seems to be the case yea
The reason that Wally is younger in Sun and Moon is because (for unknown reasons) Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire take place around 10 years AFTER the time that the original RSE occur in the original timeline, and around the same time as X and Y. The main characters and Wally are born later and Team Aqua/Magma carry out their scheme later than in the original timeline. Call it a butterfly effect caused by the existence of megas if you will.
The biggest evidence for this is Mauville. In the originals, Watson says he has plans to renovate his small city, but in the remakes, he has carried out his plan. You could make a counter argument and say that in the remakes the battle frontier is not built yet, but it also didn’t exist in the original Ruby and Sapphire.
I also think Let’s Go takes place in the mega timeline. Mina could be 9 or 10 in let’s go for all we know, and 19 in Sun and Moon and that would check out. We have seen trainers younger than 10 before.
Mina's concept art says she's 13-15 in Let's Go, though.
great video
I loved this video
Where does Pokémon go in the timeline? Asking for a friend.
It's in our timeline. The Real Life timeline
Chase Kip the real Pokémon go was inside of us all along
I wonder what next after Pokémon Ultra Go
before gen 1
Somewhere during Let's Go
This was really interesting. Thanks.
Just for my 2 cents, since the only thing really tying gen 1 and gen 3 to the same time is that one tweet, you could easily say that lets go Pikachu and Eevee replace the originals and just take place a few years later in the mega evolution timeline in order to make the sun/moon trial Captain's age fit, particularly considering there are no mega evo versions of gens 2, 4, or 5 they need to tie into.
Time travel shenanigans of Legends: Arceus has now officially turned everything on its head lol
And what's interesting is that Legends Arceus takes place in the post-apocalyptic future.
Imagine adding the pokemon universe that mystery dungeon and the other spin offs like ranger exist on lolll
Ranger co-exists with the mainline games! It directly references events from them in a few lines
@@kanpaifighto Except, Oblivia and Alola cannot coexist with each other... as they are literally the same region... except one is in a Ranger game, and the other in a Mainline game... and the two regions look nothing alike and have different names
... though Time Travel does get used in Oblivia a lot... so it might have made itself not exist by accident...
Katrina Payne well, Fiore is literally just part of the western edge of Sinnoh, so it’s possible it’s just a different part or a sub-section or the such. That, or Guardian Signs isn’t canon haha.
@@kanpaifighto Or that Rangers is its OWN timeline... this opens up to Pokemon TCG and Pokemon Card 2: Here Comes Great Rocket to being in their own timeline as well
Katrina Payne but there’s actually Pokémon Rangers in the mainline games...like, everything about it is compatible. The TCG universe wouldn’t make sense as a separate timeline since Pokemon aren’t actually considered to...well, exist, other than as trading cards in that world. It would have to be it’s own thing completely unrelated. Lump it in with Trozei :p
I can’t wait for EVERYSINGLE POKETUBER to react to this. Also abt the Let’s Go timeline this is my theory. I feel it is in the mega timeline.In the mega world Blue did not become the champion Red did as soon as he defeated Lance this is because Lance himself says they want to change it up and now Chase or Elaine will fight the champion for the throne which u couldn’t earlier so that means blue lost to Lance and then Red became bored so he left being the champion and gave that up so that he can make his own little gang called Master Trainers also it is mentioned by Blue that Pokédexes did not exist and they had to use maps and Oak used that info to make Pokedexes which means Let’s go happened before Oras as all the professors use Oaks Pokedex idea and make their own versions.Also Sword and Shield is in Non Mega timeline as there r more references to other regions like a girl in hulbury says these trains remind her of the Unova region’s trains and wants to ride them. Also nobody mentions mega Pokemon and gamefreak said no more games will have that feature so it’s safe to assume that every game from now forth is in the non mega timeline except remakes like the sinnoh ones they will have mega in them
All 7 of them
It’s the new meta. What’s the point of playing pokemon when you can just watch it
Actually Sword and Shield are in the Mega Timeline, as they reference that there was a "Darkest Day" 3000 years ago in Galar, which happens to be the same time as the Kalos War and AZ firing the Ultimate Weapon.
Christopher Andersen Yeah but the darkest day was against Eternatus
@@hebislay I know, but there are still connections between the two. Dynamax energy seems to have a link to the overflow of natural energy in Alola 3000 years ago from Ultra Necrozma that gave rise to Z-Moves, and to AZ firing the ultimate weapon to end the Kalos War, releasing life energy into Kalos and giving rise to Mega Evolution.
We do have confirmation that scarlet and violet are in the mega timeline, as Roaring Moon (paradox Salamence) has a pokedex entry that says it looks similar to a form of Salamence in another region, referencing its mega evolution
The Rainbow Rocket thing makes sense in USUM, because that generation introduced different dimensions in space. I would imagine they stopped in Alola when they realized it was a branch in time where both villainous teams lose.
Here’s one that should be “””easy,””” the Mega Man timeline
Don't even get started on that "timeline"
It's pretty straightforward
Yeah it’s classic x zero zx legends or battle network star force
not a game but i think he should do x men timeline
what about kirby
