>>56812859>>56812895>>56812904According to the encyclopedia Poké Ball were created after 1925, so maybe 1926? That would be 70 years before gen 1, would fit nicely. Plus it makes less dumb the whole Drayden didn't have Poké Ball when he was a child in Unova, if he was 69 in 2010 he would have been born in 1941, "only" 15 years after Poké Ball were invented in Japan
It would fit with Paris/Lumiose renovations too
