>>36622792Generation has always been an arbitrary term.
For me personally LGPE are something like Neo-Gen 1 games, neither part of Gen 1, Gen 7 or Gen 8. But Meltan was revealed to tease Gen 8 just like they usually do, so its probably a Gen 8 Pokémon.
Also argueing whether anything is part of Gen X is dumb because, as I said, Generation has always been an arbitrary term that is viewed differently by everyone
