>>32753048We all have the same face... in S&M. Because all of us in that game are this kid from Kanto that moved all the way to the outskirts of Melemele Island with a mother so lazy she never unpacks. We're different versions of the same kid with similar circumstances.
Now, in compraison to other games? No. XY player character's faces weren't nearly as creepy as this Kanto kid. And back in gen 5 the playable characters of prequel and sequel looked nothing alike (as much as NPCs like to get the two of you mixed up).
Anyway, my point is that if this were a sequel we wouldn't have kids that are the same age, have the same face, live in the same room with the same exact decoration (seriously, even the positioning of the basket). I could only see this happening if
a. we were the exact same person shortly after (and we know how likely that is to happen, for several reasons)
b. it's so far in the future we're S/M protagonist's kid. Although the room being identical still wouldn't make much sense
