>>54471273Seems like while they don’t care too much about lore, they are trying to separate the games into two timelines.
Gen 1-5 + BDSP are in the non-mega timeline, obviously.
Gen 6-9 (even PLA) are in the mega timeline despite 8/9 not having megas. There are references to megas in 9 and since there are also callbacks to hisui and galar they count too
Like how gen 6 had megas in hoenn for gameplay and expanded on it with the lore of two timelines, I am guessing they will do this again with unova and have it be a brand new unova experience and not legends/bw3, though they will probably do another sinnoh remake and do the cool new thing and the safe reused thing again
Gamefreak seems to always want to do the exact opposite of what the fans expect, and khu hinted at “paradox unova”. If we have another gen 6 with two regions happening at the same time, blueberry academy and the terastal phenomenon in unova hints at it
