So the games refuse to classify them, but the anime considers them Alolan Pokemon and they debuted in a Gen 7 game.

So it's a nothing vs. something scenario. Since the games opted for nothing, they're Gen 7 until further notice.

If meltan is gen 7, then why isn't it with the other gen 7 Pokemon in the official contest going on right now? Other Pokémon that cannot be caught in region of a generation are still grouped with the correct generation.

It's from an unknown gen/region. It says so in HOME

No region in the game canon, Alola in the anime canon.

Until the games give us an answer, I'm sticking with the latter.

I've been saying this for the past year: Meltan and Melmetal are the start of Go-original Pokemon. Once enough of them are added, they'll get their own category in Home, future polls, etc.

This. Everyone arguing for gen 7 or 8 are just being autistic patternfags. Fact of the matter is meltan has broken the pattern.

Tell, where is Meltan on this poster? Since the games want to be obtuse about it, I'll stick with the next best official source and just classify them as Alolan Pokemon until the games state otherwise.

The non canon anime has it grouped with alola, the canon TPC endorsed poll has it with galar (as etc, but still with galar), it's not available in a single alolan game, and home has it as unknown. Keep being an autistic patternfag

Yes, the games, anime, and manga are equal but separate canons. The games aren't canon to the anime either.

But if the games won't give us anything, then the other two are all we've got. The games refuse to classify Meltan and Melmetal, so they're Alola by default until TPC says otherwise.

The anime is canon and TPC endorsed too, you fucking idiot, plus Game Freak works with them and they follow reference material from the games. The games, anime, and manga are all equal, there is no one objective canon.

This is objectively headcanon. TPC is insistent that Meltan is "unknown". It's not a part of any region/generation no matter how hard you try and classify it.

The games did classify them. Pokemon Home clearly lists them as "unknown region" and the official poll lists them as "ect". The official stance is that they're from neither and there's no real room for debate on the matter.

Yet they allowed the anime, which is also supervised by them, to classify it under Alola.

TPC clearly doesn't give a shit.

Then they aren't Pokemon at all. If it doesn't belong to any generation or region, then it just straight up doesn't exist period.

And neither should you, yet here you are autistically declaring where an imaginary monster should be categorized.

No, it just means that Pokemon who exist outside of generations are a thing now. It's not that big of a deal.

Its doesn't belong to a "generation". It's clear TPC is stepping away from the definition of a generation.

So then, not a Pokemon at all. If it has no generation, it's not a Pokemon. It doesn't fit into a group with any other Pokemon, it's completely standalone.

Since they went through the trouble of adding a specific filter, expect to see a lot more of these "unclassified" Pokemon in the future. Especially now that we know Gamefreak's willing to randomly patch single Pokemon into the game.

Just because they appeared in Alola in the anime doesn't mean they're native to Alola. The Mystery Box could have been from anywhere else. Been a while since I watched the Meltan episodes though so if Oak indeed said that they were native to Alola then I take it back.
