Time-line

[jabbe3001]

Is there a time-line for the Pokemon games? I mean I know that G/S take place 3 years after R/B/Y, but has any more information then that been given?

When did they say that it took place three years after rby? oO
I thought they all have been happening at the same time, they just happen to be in different games.

At least, thats what I thought they were aiming for. o_o

I'm fairly certain, that G/S/C takes place later chronologically than R/B/Y. The main proofs I can think of right now is that when you play with R/B/Y in Pokemon Stadium 2, it says something to the effect of 'warp to the present'. You also have to use a time-machine to trade between the games.

But even if G/S/C are meant to take place at the same time as R/B/Y, where are Ru/Sa/E and D/P supposed to fit into the equation?

I am sure that G/S/C was a couple of years after R/B/Y (3yrs or 5yrs i think) because to trade pokemon over you have to use the time capulase and only use pokemon from that time.

But to answer your orginally question jabbe3001 R/S/E are in the same time as FR/LG, which is set before G/S/C. Not sure about D/P

Thanks rockyboy. I'm sure that D/P's spot in the series will be easier to figure out when they're released.

There is another thread that explains this, but I'll say it. GSC takes place five years after RBY because of what is said by Silph Co, and Team Rocket.

There is a whole lot more reasoning behind this, I'm just to lazy to look up the old thread.
