So this is the the supposed timeline for how each of the games take place. This can lead to a lot of things. Such as the idea of Kanto sequels, and how exactly they would fit in (mentioning because it's been brought up a lot recently) People would much rather have sequel games instead of just complete remakes. There's more story to be told in Kanto, and what else but a sequel. But how would that fit in? Would it be set in the current time with megas, or would it be only a very few amount of years after the originals/remakes - which is technically a time without the discovery of Mega Evolution. The question remains.
Also something I realized that I haven't seen said before personally, is the concept that Sun and Moon takes place in the timeline sometime prior to where X & Y is but is sometime after Black and White 2. This would mean that it's before Mega Evolution is a thing, meaning that Alola doesn't know much of it if any until the post game. That way we'd get Megas in the post game when they're finally gaining knowledge about.

Nope. The developers directly said that BW2 and XY take place at the same time. And this week's reveal of Sina and Dexio confirms that SM takes place after XY.

Incomplete timeline.

It all comes together in Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon

Sina and Dexio talk about XY in SM so no. They mention you and your friends.
I'd expect a Kanto sequel to take place during SM, or at the earliest, during BW2.

I don't think we have ever had 3 games taking place at the same time ever. Kanto sequels during SM would be nice as its a pretty good loop.

I love how BW is like a point zero, smack in the middle with nothing else going on in the world, all self important and smug.
