I've been told before that Japanese series generally don't have a concept of "Canon" and each installment is only meant to be consistent within itself, and can retcon any previous releases.

Pokémon is surely a perfect example of this?

Doesn't genwunner mean you played the greatest generation of pokemon when it first came out? Instead of 12 years later because you're younger than the pokemon franchise itself and thereby should have no opinion anyway?

its not like the ds doesnt have a better game library then the 3ds.
pokemon has literally no competition on the 3ds. not even mario. also pokemon go helped a lot.
>>
>>31103435
Um yeah, its the same because of the Delta ending basically explaining why the sequel games are not in the same timeline as the original games. Therefore Red/Blue/Yellow isn't in the same universe as Fire Red and Leaf Green. And ORAS isn't the same as RSE.

one has megas the other hasnt not so difficult.

Genwunner is different from somebody who started with Gen 1/who's favourite gen is Gen 1. Genwunners basically say that RBY was the high point of the series and everything else is crap
>>
>>31103559
This is the weakest excuse I have ever heard. Why did 3DS pokemon could beat 3DS Mario kart in sales, but DS Pokemon couldn't?
Super Mario series sold almost 3 times as much in DS, but pokemon had almost the same sales.

Also, GBA had a shitton of games, but this didn't stop pokemon from being the best selling game for the console.

It's almost as if you retards never bothered to look into the SMT franchise's timeline, where the Multiverse and reincarnation is a canon and frequent thing. The simplest way I can explain it is that every single ending to every game is canon, and that includes "le persona isn't real SMT" and sadly the fanfiction tier writing game known as Persona Q, to give you an idea of the quality of writing compared to the rest of the franchise, even X and Y and FE Fates had better writing, and that makes having to swallow my pride and accept that PQ is canon that much more painful

Stop trying to argue canon events with your headcanon.

There are no natural Megastones in Alola. The back story of XY does not mean Megas will end up in every region

And no matter how incorrect one may think it is, if someone worked in the games and says it is true, it just is. And the XY director said it was true, deleted tweet or no.

That's far from on point.
For starters there are only two timelines so far those being the second and third on his image. The first was retconned entirely.
Then there's the fact that it implies none of the Kanto, Johto, Sinnoh and Unova events occur in the third timeline when we know otherwise due to references in all three games.

Just because there isn't a game for the other regions in the third timeline, it doesn't mean they don't exist. It would only prove anything, if they mentioned something that couldn't have happened in the third timeilne.

Genwunner means that you were a fad "90s" kid that idolizes the game without question regardless of it's many, many glaring flaws and basically denounces the other generations. Special exception to gen 2 because many genwunners can't differentiate 1 and 2.

Basically all of the names we have like Sinnohfetus and Alolasome are used to refer to the fanboys.

There is literally a giant tower erected well before the start of this timeline dedicated to it that the public can enter freely. People from around the world come there to learn about mega evolution.

Which means the defining factor that sets them apart is mega evolution not that there's a difference in major events or placement in the timeline.

>if they were linked together then how is it that other regions dont have megas?
No one is saying the two obviously separate universes are linked you idiots. Just that all of the events still occur in the same place.
Meaning there's a timeline 2 version of XY without megas in the same way ORAS is a megaverse counterpart to RS. Understand?

>Also rse references come back in bw2.
Yes?
How does that change anything being said here?

Reminder there is no timeline and GF was just making shit up and making references to other regions as they went along and had no grand design or plan. This is a shit franchise.

"Different timelines." Holy shit. Another reminder any franchise that chalks up inconsistencies in their games to "different timelines" is simply a fucking shit franchise.
>>
>>31104929
And yet there is a very clear timeline that's been consistent throughout the games.
Not to mention there was no actual need to explain anything through different timelines and that was just something they decided to throw in as opposed to using it to explain any inconsistencies.

In gen I bite does not damage ghosts since it's a normal type move, but in gen II it is super-effective since it's dark type. How is this shit supposed to work, nobody ever used bite on ghosts in that timeline?

They'll never be able to top that so instead of going forwards, they're going sideways which is why we're getting alt universes and ultra dimensions and such. They did it right in gen 3 remakes because these are true retcons, but oras/xy straight up imply the previous games take place in a another universe.

I mean fuck, they introduced time travel back in gen 2 with celebi, but they at least had the sense to leave it in the background. Then comes Gen 4 remakes where they fucked up and had you go back in time by a few weeks using celebi to prevent Giovanni from coming back during rockets radio tower take over (as opposed to him pretty much ignoring their bullshit) because they clearly don't give a fuck and lack any sense of tact and nuance.

tl;dr Alternate universes and time travel are bottom of the barrel plot devices and Gen 4 was a mistake writing wise.

There are no plotholes, or some "deepest" level lore.
One game takes place after another. Because Megas became a thing, they made another universe, one where Megas didn't exist.

That's it. Even kids can understand it. It's just autists trying to sound smart that are arguing about it in this thread.

My point is that "at least". There is a timeline where the pokeyman universe has the mechanic of megas and timeline without them, so what contradicts a possibility of a timeline with abilities and one without them, a timeline with electric/steel magnemites and one with mono electric magnemites etc?

The fact that megas are an artificially born mechanism.
Abilities and typing on the other hand are completely natural. Trying to say otherwise would mean that pokemon suddenly took to a new evolutionary path and evolved away certain abilities and types in the course of 3000 years seeing as everything before the war was the same in both timelines.
>>
From what I can gather, there's only one statement about the timelines from the ORAS postgame, right?
So that means there are two timelines existing at the same time, one with megas and one without.
Right? Then what makes people think there's a third?

That would mean an existence of a timeline would depend how much do they stress the importance of a mechanic, so if they remade RBY in gen V while making eg. hidden abilities plot-relevant, then it would be separate from previous gens while it being irrelevant to the plot still maintain it in the same timeline.

Because said remake retcons the previous iteration anon. The only one that doesn't is ORAS due to it establishing the two timelines.

Are you being purposely obtuse?

There are only two timelines
FRLG/RSE > HGSS/DPPt > BW > BW2/XY > SM

There's literally nothing that suggests a third timeline.

It's been around and public knowledge for at least 1000 years. The Tower of Mastery is literally a tower dedicated to mega evolution.
It was never a "newly discovered thing" outside of the marketing. In the same way they implied UBs were separate entities from Pokemon.

Just going by what Sycamore said. Either he thinks 1000 years are nothing, or he's retarded. Possibly both.

It does, though. Sycamore, the great Professor who studies Mega Evolution, said it only occurs in Kalos. The next game is set in Hoenn, at least 8 years prior to that, and the Champion of Hoenn uses a Mega.

Could also be interpreted as certain types only existing there.

Come to think of it, what is that line in the japanese version? If it doesn't imply Kalos only then it's a simple localization mistake.

It'd be fine if they made it so that Mega Evolution could only be practiced inside Kalos because of a special energy field absorbed by the continent when the weapon was fired and by making it incredibly rare and difficult to perform storywise.

That way they could make nods to it in remakes of previous game where, instead of it just being "cool things on display" in some rich NPCs house, it could be an incredibly expensive but ultimately worthless to them Mega Stone.

They could even include Megas in other games with that explanation if they REALLY needed to, but only for places like Battle Resorts and competitive. All they'd need to do would say that the inventor character of the current gen came up with a way to make the insides of their battle arena give off the same energy field as the absorbed continent of Kalos. Whether that's by magical science bullshit (I've found a way to convert and infuse regular material into material that gives of THE SAME WAVELENGTHS OF ENERGY that were absorbed by the Ancient Weapon in Kalos!) or by literally just bringing over chunks of Kalos stone and building with that or something.

>>31107534
That's not what I'm saying at all, I'm saying that Pokemon as it is now is entirely subject to change based off the whims of the devs as to whether or not they want to do something that completely fucks up the timeline again.

For example, with GF announced their intent to nix the addition of new MEs but seems they will still include them in future games as evidenced by SM. What needs to be asked next, then, is if Z-Moves are SM exclusive, or if they'll also carry over to new games.

If they'll carry over then if there's a remake of, since everyone's going on about it, DPPt, we'll get MEs and Z-Moves. That means that DPPt is now in the SM universe. But XY and ORAS, who're both without Z-moves also reside in the Mega universe, but lack an important mechanic that should exist at that time. So, at that point, does the timeline split again or do they just remake the games at a later point and include Z-moves?

What does samefag even mean in this context when you're talking about one anon?
I mean you can use it when you're talking about your post here and here>>31107885 because you're obviously the same anon and are samefagging a reply.

Jesus Christ, you're retarded. This time actually read the whole thing before you shit on your keyboard.

I'm saying:
It didn't exist before and it exists solely in this area because of weapon. Specifically, because of the energy released by the weapon.

The residual energy that soaked into the continent after the weapon's firing is what allows the mega stones (Which are concentrated energy left behind by the weapon's firing) to work. The keystone remains the link between the trainer and the mega stone, but needs to be within Kalos to work because that was the epicenter.

You've decided that "because it's not this way in the games, it's impossible for it to have been a different way". My whole fucking post was about how they could have done it without an extra timeline if they'd just written it differently.

Because Mega Evolutions even WITH a new timeline aren't fucking contrived enough that "Oh the residual energy from the weapon changed stones into different stones that if they're held by a SPECIFIC Pokemon and reacts with a SPECIFIC stone held by a trainer who has a SPECIFIC relationship with their Pokemon (This amazing plot point turned out to be ignored, didn't it?) then they gain a new stage of evolution BUT it only lasts for a single battle" is fine for you, but adding an extra layer of "And it has to be done in the SPECIFIC continent where the weapon was fired" is just too much?

If only it were just a simple agreement but no, your typing, sentence structure and mannerisms match up pretty much perfectly. Even how you're using terms incorrectly and misspelling them.
Not to mention there's always more than a minute between your posts.

You're missing one factor however.
The weapon didn't charge them up, Megastones are just ordinary meteorites with any old energy pumped into them.

Basically you're making them considerably more contrived than they actually are and adding your mess on top?
Well, it's not exactly clean by any means.

In fact you've just created a bigger mess than GF ever could.

Try considerably, for one you would have to explain how or why anyone can replicate that energy field outside of Kalos in resorts and multiplayer when mega evolution is still a complete and utter mystery in XY. Hell it still is in ORAS and SM.
Two why the megastones are ineffective outside of Kalos but chunks of things like dirt or concrete somehow retain their power.
And then there's the fact that you've made it "incredibly rare and difficult" in Kalos when it was never that to begin with even in terms of the story.

They do. There is no clear answer to deliver out the information given yet. The concept of different timelines is either unfinished or non-existent. There is no reason to discuss something that has no clear answer. It's just pointless.

Anon, we were literally told outright in game that there were two timelines created due to the war in Kalos 3000 years ago.
One with Mega Evolution
And one without.

I don't see how things can get clearer than that.

There's literally only one way to take that statement anon.
That the war was the focal point and it occurring, or not as it may be, created a second timeline where Mega Evolution didn't exist.

>we pass along the lore about the distortions in the world borne by the Mega Evolution mechanism. And about the existence of another world, which we have long observed to be just like this one and yet not the same... That's right. A Hoenn region that's almost exactly like this one we live in. Filled with Pokémon and people like us. A world where maybe the evolution of Pokémon took a slightly different path, where Mega Evolution is unknown... A world where that war 3,000 years ago...never happened.

>>31108684
This entire post chain has been a hypothetical about how they could've done it to keep things within a single universe, you complete fucking moron. The entire fucking point is about things they could've done DIFFERENTLY to keep it within a single universe.

>you would have to explain
It's magic, I don't have to explain shit. How did Bill fuse himself with a Pokemon? Why did running it in reverse fix him? How do megas work? It doesn't fucking matter, all you need to do is say that someone in universe understands it and have them do it.

>mega evolution is still a complete and utter mystery in XY
Jesus fucking christ, stop doing this you fucking mongoloid.

>why the megastones are ineffective outside of Kalos
It's a two-step verification.
1. Mega Energy (To call it something other than "Energy from the weapon in the continent") is required for Mega Stones to function
2. Mega Stones require a Keystone to activate
It's like how a computer needs power to work. If you remove the power source, you can't shitpost like a retard on 4chan. You can tap away on your keyboard all you like, but nothing will happen. You need the power to be able to turn it on and only then can you show others how retarded you are.

>but chunks of things like dirt or concrete somehow retain their power.
Mega Stones and Mega Energy would be separate entities completely. Mega Stones are concentrated and their wavelength matches specific Pokemon. Mega Energy is just the energy that was released when the weapon was fired and, because Kalos was the epicenter, it absorbed the most of the energy and still radiates it outward. Think of it like a harmless radiation if you have to, Kalos would still be "radioactive" and emitting the Mega Energy that allows Mega Stones to activate (>inb4 but radiation is harmful so that's impossible). Again, it was only a suggestion that they physically take bits of Kalos and make it into shit, they could just have the Inventor character come up with a way to activate Mega Stones by inventing something that constantly radiates Mega Energy. This doesn't even have to be in an arena, that was also just a suggestion, you could even go even further and have them create a portable one instead so that you could just mega evolve anywhere.

>And then there's the fact that you've made it "incredibly rare and difficult" in Kalos when it was never that to begin with even in terms of the story.
This is a moot point, it doesn't even fucking matter. Change it, don't change it. Do whatever you want, it's irrelevant to the rest of it. And AGAIN, there's no point in referring to a hypothetical as "impossible" because that wasn't within the scope of the original story. I fucking know it's different, that's why I said that this is a way they could've done the story DIFFERENTLY, you fucking mongoloid.

So you think the same shit that happened in R/S/E just repeated, in ORAS, 3000 years later? With the characters somehow having the same, looking almost the same, having the same family etc etc? That's is just stupid and makes no sense. Get over it.
>>
>>31109140
This bugs me, too. If the weapon was fired, shit would've gotten fucked up. There's no way you'd make your way to the same present day as if millions of people and pokemon weren't suddenly wiped out
>>
>>31109140
>So you think the same shit that happened in R/S/E just repeated, in ORAS, 3000 years later?
The fuck are you even talking about? No seriously, are you trying to say that ORAS is 3000 years apart from RSE or that their pasts are the same. Because aside from the Primal addition and the creation of Sootopolis their pasts are the same both timelines went through the turmoil of the legends and had Ray intervene before shit got out of hand.

>With the characters somehow having the same, looking almost the same, having the same family etc etc?
You make it sound like there's some kind of huge contradiction to be had somewhere yet you haven't presented anything.

>That's is just stupid and makes no sense.
That's how alternate timelines/universes work
