Can we just say that:
>RBY and FRLG happened in 1996
>Crystal / HGSS, the definitive story of Gen II, happened in 2000
>Emerald, the definitive story of Gen III, happened in 2005
>Platinum, the definitive story of Gen IV, happened in 2009
>Black and White happened in 2010, Black and White 2 happened in 2012
>X and Y happened in 2013
>ORAS happened in 2014, 9 years after the events of Emerald
>Sun and Moon happened in 2016
