I have been to all nine regions now. A long time ago when I was still new to my journey an important question was asked, "What makes a trainer a pokemon master? Being the strongest trainer or capturing every known pokemon in existence?" To this day...i have enjoyed finding my own answer. I am 32 and my journey continues 😊

[@Wurmze]

So cool. I’m waiting for new johto and unova instalments so I can finally say the same

[@OtherL]

@@Wurmze it all takes time. It's been a fantastic journey. I went to the Sinnoh Region via the remakes. I wish I had played the original back when it came out. A lot of cut content from what I can see and was told but still. I loved that region but Unova is one of the strongest regions in my opinion

Hey Commonwealth in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet there is a book in the Academy referencing the events of Sword and Shield and in the history teachers room in the intro you can see Laventon and the old Pokèball from Legends Arceus which I think means that all those games take place in the same timeline although also in the Pokémon Violet dex entry for Roaring Moon they reference Mega Evolution so personally I think that all those games take place in the mega timeline now

[@jaernihiltheus7817]

Yeah, generally speaking anything post-xy takes place in the mega evolution universe.

[@felixhenson9926]

Yep, I loved that you could take history classes in these games! They mention a Paldean Empire.

A lot of people forget that in Gen 2, Prof. Elm discovered Pokemon eggs, and no one knew until his discovery that Pokemon can lay eggs, but in Gen 3, it is common knowledge already (Johto's day care people in GSC are so surprised when the Pokemon you left with them have an egg that they claim they have no idea how the egg got there, while Hoenn's day care people in RSE are not as surprised), yet a lot of fellow Pokemon fans seem to think Gen 3 takes place before Gen 2, when it should be the other way around, especially when you take into consideration that the Pokedex being Prof. Oak's personal invention wouldn't be passed on to other regional Pokemon professors so quickly, otherwise, why after 3 years does Prof. Elm not have his own Podedex (Remember in Gen 2, Prof. Oak gives you the Pokedex, not Prof. Elm), but Prof. Birch somehow has his own Pokedex in such a short time despite not personally knowing Prof. Oak?

[@ryderdeston8107]

You definitely got a true theory going on right here especially since the anime goes by generation order as well as the Manga

[@Snowleaper]

professor oak inventing the pokedex is a bit meh nowadays. I believe the common interpretation is that he was the first to compile the Kanto Pokedex or to make a digital dex

[@LightStreak567]

Whether you think it is meh or not, there's no way you can say his dream to make a full encyclopedia on every Pokemon that exists in the world is meh. No one else has that ambitious dream but him.

[@LightStreak567]

@@ryderdeston8107 Another thing I forgot to mention is that in Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, Lanette, the creator of Hoenn's Pokemon PC storage system is inspired by Bill's version used in Kanto and Johto, with Bill's approval. In Red/Blue/Yellow, Bill's Pokemon PC storage system was brand new technology at the time (confirmed by the "Technology is incredible!" guy in Pallet Town), and technology that is brand new wouldn't be so quickly improved on until a few years pass.

[@LunaP1]

To be fair, Sada and Turo could both be Arvin's parents with one of them being the one that took him from the Area Zero labs to give him a safer life.

[@Thecatsworlds]

They are both his parents, it’s just that depending on the version you have, one of the parents left almost immediately after Arven was born. Ex. In Violet, there’s a journal written by Turo that says “… that woman (Sada) left right after the boy was born..” In Scarlet, just switch woman with man. And Sada wrote that one

[@snikerz5886]

​@@Thecatsworlds pretty much this. Scarlet and Voilet are actually using the timeline splits as a plot point but we probably won't get a resolution there until after both DLCs come out.

[@chrishusted9296]

I gotta say, I appreciate the updates to this. Way more effort than most would put in.

[@gar10gaming60]

Scarlet and violet and also sword and shield are in the mega evolution multiverse. If you read roaring moon's violet entry, it mentions mega evolution (it calls it "a phenomenon" though instead of stating explicitly), confirming that it is part of mega evolution timeline. Also, if you go to the academy and read all the books there, you will find prof. Sonia's books in the academy, confirming that the galar games happened in the same universe as scarlet and violet, which means they are also part of the mega evolution multiverse

[@macias9]

That’s so fascinating!

[@DrIgnacious]

I was searching for more information on the split time line of Pokémon. Hearing the Storyteller is a blast from the past. I used to listen to Shoddycast long ago.

[@__Soya__]

Honestly the Mega timeline is most of the time just the remakes. Not all of them but like 90% of them.

[@tbunating1451]

RIP Storyteller

[@moonkitty5274]

My favourite part of pokemon violet (and in general for the pokemon games) was when Nemona and I fought against paradox delibird and she proceeded to oneshot it without a crit and before I could even move. After having so many double partners be useless in the games, this was when I knew I'd found a true rival in pokemon.

[@mrclarinetnerd]

I will say, in one of the books inside the academy in Scarlet and Violet titled "The Occular: August Edition" says that someone went to Stow On Side in Galar to study the mural but it was destroyed, so we can say S&S and S&V both take place in the same universe. And, as some have said, Roaring Moon has a nod towards Mega Salamence, so they could also lie within the Mega Timeline

[@wikiuser92]

The magazine is called Occulture, and it only mentions the Mega Salamence stuff. Sonia's book is a different thing.

[@warriorking9885]

I think it's possible that both SwSh and SV might take place in the mega evolution universe because of two things. (small spoilers ahead) The first is that Galar: A History, the book that Sonia wrote in SwSh, can be found in the Naranja/Uva Academy, meaning that Scarlet and Violet take place in the same universe as Sword and Shield. Furthermore, the dex entry for Roaring Moon in Violet states that the pokemon has "some connection to a phenomenon that occurs in a certain region", referencing both Kalos and mega evolution (though it isn't something that can only be done in Kalos as we've seen it be performed in Hoenn, Alola, and Kanto as well).

[@CloutmasterPhluphyy]

The dex entry of roaring moon does imply that S&V are likely to be in the ME universe Wonder if that'll ever be elborated on later in game

[@cruise_101]

Yes also in the academy there is a book referencing swsh as well also in the intro the history teacher has pictures of laventon and the old poke balls up

[@warriorking9885]

What sucks though is that in the English translation it says that mega evolution is a phenomenon that occurs in a "certain region", despite the fact that it's able to be performed in other regions as well, such as Hoenn, Alola, and Kanto.

[@Mrperson0]

@@warriorking9885 Let's Go takes place in a separate timeline from the Mega one, so it might not be a phenomenon in Kanto. Either way, that statement might simply mean Mega evolution was discovered in Kalos.

What the-? Okay, NO. Rainbow Rocket's Giovanni ISN'T from the Mega Evolution timeline. He's from a world where, while Mega Evolution did exist, the protagonist that stops him DIDN'T exist. Thanks to that, every single operation his Team Rocket conducted was a flawless success; the plans for Master Ball production were taken and mass produced by him, his Game Corner was never shut down nor was his secret base discovered and he managed to CATCH MEWTWO. This is why he was impressed when Elio/Selene beat him in a battle, while his loss to Ethan in HGSS frustrated him.

I like the reference to Mew under the Truck:) But anyway Mew can be caught in that alternate universe with a special Pikachu:)

[@Aluandale]

I understand they aren't mainline, but you could honestly squeeze the "Snap" games into this as well. Todd in the first one would be, relatively speaking, somewhere between Kanto and Hoenn. New Snap would be placed shortly before/after sword and sheild with the phenomena in game that causes pokemon to be "extremely large and glowing". Its almost like they hinted at Terestalization prior to S/V, while still acknowledging Dyna/Gigantamax - only these pokemon (Snaps) happened due to a meteor that landed in the middle of the islands. So, long story short here; the meteor is a very common denominator in the timeline(s). Heck, one might even suggest its one timeline, but due to certain shenanigans in specific games - history was altered (the Kalos war where he loses Floette, being reunited in later games, Red making multiple appearances throughout regions (his story seems boarderline untouchable, it always happens). Idk, I'm just throwing things out there 😂 i love the timeline videos. A small peice of me believes that certain phenomena are indeed regional rather than worldwide - but for this theory to work, I would have to know exactly where the meteor(s) hit in each region, and which of said regions are close enough to be affected. We know Kanto, Johto and Hoenn(?)are relatively close to one another and knowing that meteors break apart when entering the atmosphere, I am positive it/they would have spread over different areas of the world/regions. Lastly, i can't remember precisely but was there not someone in the Alpha/Omega versions who wasn't "originally from" this timeline? It wasnt Steven, but I think you meet them in that same city.

When you realise the Old Chato in Sinnoh is the Galaxy Headquarters back in the time of Hisui. It was said Cyrus lived there with his parents until they died. He then lived in Sunnyshore city with his grandparents. He was heavily depressed from his parents deaths causing him to question the gifts of the Lake Trio (Emotions, knowledge, and willpower) and isolated himself with his machines until he was old enough to form team galactic. He has such a tragic back story. If only someone could help him with his trauma and show him the true value of the Lake Trio's gift to the world.

[@fertileplanet7756]

We do actually know what universe Pokémon Sword and Shield are in: the mega evolution timeline. We know this because of Roaring Moon's pokedex entry in Pokémon Violet. The pokedex entry says, "According to an article in a dubious magazine, this Pokémon has some connection to a phenomenon that occurs in a certain region." This confirms that Scarlet and Violet take place in the mega evolution timeline. We can connect this to the existence of a book that can be inferred to be Sonia's book in the Uva/Naranja academy library. This book directly references the story of Pokémon Sword and Shield.

[@candyneige6609]

28:08 We do know who came out triumphant from this battle, it was Gold/Ethan, and we know this because in Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold and SoulSilver, once you defeat Red, the game credits plays, implying that Gold/Ethan canonically defeated Red.

I'm firmly of the mind that Scarlet and Violet take place in the same universe considering the only major difference between the 2 can take place at the same time (the Paradox pokemon -- to include Koraidon and Miraidon -- are merely pokemon from the past and future. The only other difference is the name of the school which I have mixed feelings about (I like the names but don't quite understand the references if any outside the colors, aside from that why not just Mesagoza Academy after the city it's in?). Hate to do it to the dude but Arven just has 2 absentee parents with an obsession for time travel

Eternatus had Eternamaxed, not Gigantamaxed.

[@antoniodisanto9827]

I think SV at the end of both mega and non-mega timelines, basically like ‘Breath of the Wild’ on timeline placement, this could be due to Gigantamaxing replacing mega evolutions and being unique to Galar only. This could be referenced by the book of galar in the academy, as well Roaring Moon Pokédex entry as well as it’s design referencing Mega Salamence. This generation involves time, so i might have two theories. The first being that the time machine at the end of SV being shut down or destroyed could be the result. The second being that it was the mysterious legendary turtle or disk Pokémon that was referenced in the academy, since Koraidon represents Past and Miraidon represents Future, it safe to say it also has something to with time, even if it was rumoured to have caused teralisation and creation of Area Zero.
