>>58394040Now I see how you laid it out, it's more like how a normal person would space it in a graph vs how a channer would greentext it
That's a little more time between Gen 4 and 5 than I had figured but it would make sense if that Rocket grunt had a child in that time frame that was well above toddler age.
I was thinking about it this morning though, the timeline of the 3D games. I think SM/USUM was 2 years after XY but it could be only 1 year. I don't recall anything in SWSH that ever gave any answers to how much time had passed. But I feel pretty confident that going on some of the dialogue of SV, that it took place two years after SWSH/CT. Penny was away in Paldea the first time in the school year that Team Star was formed. Then she was suspended and sent back to Galar for a year which probably was after SWSH because we never see her there before. A year after the suspension she's back in Paldea, so two years. Streamers come and go quickly so with that new character Canari, I would say SV and Iono's popularity is recent, maybe two years later at most, potentially happening at the same time as SV.
Basically, for ZA to be 5 years after XY, it has to go something like this
XY>2 years>SM/USUM>1 year>SWSH>2 years>SV/ZA
You can float that spare year either between SM and SWSH or SV and ZA but unless I remember wrong, the other 2 year gaps don't really have much flexibility.
