What if Zinnia wasn't talking about the original Ruby/Sapphire Hoenn, and instead she was talking about the anime Hoenn? What if the anime actually is canon to the games, but it takes place in a parallel universe?

>Speaking of the movies and consequently the TV show, do the cartoons and the movies and the video games overlap? Is that all one Pokémon world, or are they two separate universes?
>Masuda: basically it’s the same place. Looking at it as a parallel world, or in some select spots being a parallel world might be more accurate.
