>>32751465>They set up universes in two stages.>First they said something along the lines of "imagine the same Hoenn region we live in only with different species living, where maybe groudon was awoken instead of kyogre" this references the differences between alpha sapphire and omega ruby, acknowledging them as paralel universes. That's just a reference to the fact there is another version, not a proper statement. Regardless, as you quoted, this is about hoenn, which only acknowledges alpha sapphire and omegs ruby.
>Then it was followed as "or even a Hoenn where mega evolutions don't exist" that is indeed ruby/sapphire (and later in S/M emerald, as Tower Tycoon Anabel was something that only existed there)These are used as plot points, those are confirmed. Doesnt talk about every paired version either.
>Each game (or even each copy of each game if we get too meta) in an alternate universe, only that some universes are way more similar than others.This wasnt stated. Only for a few specific cases.
>Of course that would mean that USUM would already be alternate universes even if they kept the same clothes, the WiiU, no pikaplace and every other difference we've seen were removed, but it seems that they really want to put an emphasys on that this time, so whether that means we get the same game with a few additions or a new story is yet to be seen.If you false premises are true then yeah, your conclusion would also be.
"Alternate story" can mean 4 things:
1)alternate timeline, which never happened.
2)other parallel story which is not the case since the protags are the same.
3)alternate universe which COULD be the case but hasn't been stated and, if it were the case, we have to wait till we see the game.
4)a different version like crystal, emerald or platinum, which is also likely.
You're saying is 3) but you cant do so before we have the games on hand.
