the Pokemon Legends/Mewtwo creation placements).Īight, that's all for now! Cut loose, OI users! I would also like feedback on the suggested spinoff additions in the 4th worksheet, as well as maybe deleting/adjusting stuff that's too headcanony (e.g. I implore you all to drop events worth cataloguing alongside suggestions for their placements within the BR/AR system. This is absolutely a WIP, and I need your help to soup it up. With those two I had a clear focus on where exactly to look on the other hand, this sheet will encompass Pokedex entries, story lore, side attractions and much much more that I just don't have the time or energy to comb through every last bit of. Unlike with my previous two spreadsheets (Which Pokemon Were Used The Most By Important NPCs and Every Pokemon Seen So Far In The Journeys Anime), the scope of this is way, WAY bigger. So, now that that's all out of the way, what's next? Is this just gonna sit here forever? Absolutely not. In order to explain the thought process behind certain placements, citation notes will be included for the more obscure placements. We can never have a truly definitive timeline unless the license-holders give it to us, which they likely never will. If the necessity of a custom dating system didn't tip you off, this timeline is absolutely gonna be filled with conjecture and rummaging through contradictory information. One important disclaimer: This is not even close to definitive. As the name implies, this system makes the Generation 1 games "Year Zero" with everything before or after that being marked appropriately. In order to date stuff, we will be using a custom dating system: BR (Before Red) and AR (After Red).
#Pokemon timelane series
As you may have inferred, I have decided to expand this further into a timeline of the entire series counting not just the games, but significant events in the Pokemon universe, whether it be the specific date of discovery of certain species, creation of artificial Pokemon, formative events in the lives of major characters, basically anything of that sort that can be properly dated. In the 7 years since this tweet, it has continued circulation as a common bulletpoint on Pokemon trivia videos, amounting to little more than that. Gen 1/3, Gen 2/4, BW1 and Gen 5 sequels/Gen 6: That was the order they gave before their tweet was deleted. The "leaker" in this instance was none other than Toshinobu Matsumiya, a prolific writer at Game Freak, and their revelation was that despite the series not putting a massive focus on continuity, there was in fact an internal timeline for the main series games. Pokemon stuff gets leaked all the damn time, but this leak was intriguing for two reasons, those being who did it and what they revealed.
