>>50176982>>The games can interactX and Y can't fully interact with ORAS because they were never patched to have all the new Megas. ORAS is still part of Gen 6. Same goes for SM and USUM. Gen 8 exemplifies all of this, because SwSh, BDSP, and PLA are all Gen 8 games, and none of them can interact with each other whatsoever.
Don't know anything about Orre, so I can't comment there.
>So remakes aren't part of any generation because they don't have any of that?You're either deliberately misunderstanding me, or you're pulling an argument out of your ass and sticking it on me. Remakes are part of the generation they're released in. Introducing a new region and new Pokemon are only prerequisites for the FIRST games of a new generation. Anything released afterward is part of that generation until a new set of games are released that mark the beginning of the next one. Thus, since SwSh mark the beginning of Gen 8, and LGPE came out before them, LGPE is part of Gen 7.
>Let's split the difference and say Let's Go is a spin-off and shouldn't be counted among the Gen 7 or 8 gamesI am 100% down with that, get them outta here. Masuda can say they're main series all he wants, but when they don't share the other games' mechanics, and even exist in their own self-contained timeline, they sure smell like spin-offs to me.
