I mean, why wheren't GEN 4-7 pokemon in the pokedex in GEN 3? did those pokemon exist in GEN 3? or they're truly recently discover pokemon?

I think the order is based on when the professor in charge of cataloging every pokémon in their respective regions finished their job

Like, Oak was the first one to create a dex, so the pokémon he found in Kanto come first. Then, he worked on the Johto pokémon and just added the "new" ones to the list. Sometime after that Birch finished the list of Hoenn pokémon, then Rowan, then Juniper, etc.

But canonically generation 3 comes before generation 2. Now that I think about it this could mean that Professor Birch invented the Pokedex, as his version has more pokemon than Oak's does.

Quoted By:

Oak created the Kanto and Johto Pokedexes, hence the similar ordering. Due to his worldwide fame, and thus influence, he determined the order for the National Dex.

Each other region's Regional Dex is ordered by the professor of that region, and is structured as such.

The Pokedex was invented years before Gen 1. Cyntha mentioned she had one when she was a kid starting her journey.

Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald can link with FireRed and LeafGreen and vice-versa without time travelling.

Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, and SoulSilver occur 3 years after Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, FireRed, and LeafGreen. Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum occur at the same time as the Johto games.

Toshinobu Matsumiya from Game Freak confirmed this in 2014.

If gen 3 was before gen 2 then why would oak bother to go to Johto if birch already created a dex with the gen 2 mons on it.

That's one of the things they retcon with every remake. In RBY only 151 pokémon were in the dex by the time the game begins, but in FRLG/RSE there were 386. In ORAS it's even worse since the dex has 721 pokémon. And all of these games are supposed to happen at more or less the same time.

So let's say the professors get more efficient with every retcon and finish the dex list a few years earlier.

Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire occur in a parallel timeline to Ruby and Sapphire.

It's a gameplay only thing you shouldn't worry about canon wise. There's a reason NPC's never mention a mons dex order.

Why are there so many autists these days that try to fit every single gameplay aspect into canon/lore?

I see no point in worrying about it when the devs clearly don't give a shit.

Who says that Game Freak don't care? They simply don't share this stuff with the public as that would curb interest in Pokémon.
