>>56631420I thought the whole point of XY/SM was that it was an alternate timeline to the rest of the series alongside ORAS, and the convergence happened during ancient Kalos where Mega stones were either created from the ultimate weapon being made, or where it wasn't made, where the other side (a parallel world based on card art) ended up being that TCG set that added BREAK Evolution, and that was the friendship/trainer's bond stuff Colress was always on about.
Picrel is a scuffed timeline I made back in Gen 7. Didn't think about the TCG stuff until later and didn't update it. Now that I think about it, it's probably fanfic, but we were starved for lore at the time.
