Canon: Difference between revisions
→List of canons: Zinnia confirms them to be in different universes, and the Orre games are side series games not spin-offs (see the side series talk page).
(→List of canons: I don't think it's actually been confirmed on whether or not RSE is a different universe from ORAS, just that OR and AS are different from one another. There's also multiple animated trailers. "side series games" is a fanon term used to explain spin-off titles that may be canon, so that was reworded. Pokemon GO and Pokemon Masters are also pretty noteworthy games that either interact or use canonical information and should be mentioned on their status.) |
