What the actual fuck did they mean by it?
It's like they were begging to conclude the shit that got canned for Z in Sun and Moon and cut it out thrice.
Four times if you count Sword and Shield which probably never even got past the planning stages without being bastardized.

So what's with the implication, then? Of all the time periods, why did they feel the need to specifically say 3000 years when they know the Kalos war was still fresh in everyone's minds and begging to be reiterated on after Sun and Moon said "It all comes together" without actually solving it?

Except our Araki makes it worse by not forgetting, and instead dangling it in front of our faces.

Remember, Unova also had events that took place 3,000 years ago (Relic castle and Abyssal ruins) and I think Alola has some appearance of either the box legends or Necrozma at that time. So they've been running with this 3,000 year thing consistently for a while.

How 's it that the shills biggest argument for SWSH is that the lore is interesting then, faggot?
One of the first and biggest things people noticed about SM back in the day was the lack of new megas. It wasn't confirmed Z-moves were going to be pump-and-dump replacements for megas and everyone was expecting the answers to be in the games because of that fucking trailer.
Zygarde's forms were literally marketed alongside the alola games and were first revealed in the games there. EVERYONE thought there would be some conclusion or mention of AZOTH in SM.

That points more towards 3,000 just being Game Freak's go-to number of years for "thing that happened in ancient times"

I think you're right, most likely. It's the type of thing that they can easily pick up if they decide to put in effort or just drop it because they never gave any thought to it.

It literally was you fucking retard. SM pre-release was partly all about the new shit that was being added and partly about how everything from Gen 6 was going to be expanded on.
No one could have forseen that the games would be just as fucking rushed and unsatisfying as XY themselves without answering anything.

Who the fuck is everyone. All pokemon lore is written out of convenience to give flavor, it's not something even GF expects people to be invested in. If you're following Macguffin and getting frustrated that it doesn't get resolved you have only yourself to blame.

It wasn't meant to answer anything. Whatever plans there were for Z got incorporated in the anime instead and the introduction of Zygarde's alternate forms in the games got pushed back into Sun & Moon.

We got all the answers. The only real mystery left was what Zygarde's purpose was, and that was answered. The stuff about the war was just backstory.

Oh man 25 morons too stupid to realize GF doesn't give a fuck about story and taking the world-building way too seriously didn't get answers. What a huge demographic. You're the one wondering why they just dropped it and the answer is simply that no one gives a fuck.

Then why are all of their recent games filled to the brim with cutscenes and dialogue?

Despite Sword/Shield's relative lack of a story until the very end, it still forces you to interact with a bunch of characters for whatever reason

It was for Sun and Moon and not the Ultra versions, also it was literally the first trailer that kept that tagline.
Either RR was cut from Sun and Moon or whatever plans they had to wrap things up were.
Speaking of reveals, is anyone baffled at how bad the USUM reveal makes it look like they were switch games? They didn't even put the 3DS logo there. They just hamfisted it into the Pokken reveal and showed 3DS consoles playing it at the end.

Meltan line was debuted on Pokemon GO and that game was released in the sixth generation. It also is part of the Kalos lore.
Clearly Melmetal has a number six all over it

You said it: "It was meant" but it wasn't at the end.
If Melmetal = Pokemon Go and Pokemon Go = sixth generation then Melmetal = sixth generation.
Melmetal is a pokemon chronologically owned by the 6th gen

Meltan/Melmetal wasn't created until Gen 7, in order to advertise LGPE, thus it belongs to Gen 7.

In the anime, Ash-Greninja first appeared 3,000 years ago and saved the ninja village.
There's clearly an adventure that happened in that time period that just hasn't been told yet. Maybe Pokemon Z is the Kalos remake where we finally go back in time.

Wait no, that's wrong. The relic shit in Unova is all explicitly 2,500.
Magearna was just 500.
But everything relating to Kalos seems to be 3000, still.
