The canon of the [[Pokémon games]] considers the following:
The canon of the [[Pokémon games]] considers the following:
*Events of later games set in the same region supersede events of prior games set in that region. That is to say, the storyline of the [[third version]]s and later [[remake]]s are considered to be the canonical events, where there is conflict between them and earlier versions. For example, canonically, [[Cyrus]] summoned {{p|Dialga}} ''and'' {{p|Palkia}} at [[Spear Pillar]], and was then warped to the [[Distortion World]] by {{p|Giratina}} before being defeated by the {{player}} (the Platinum storyline), rather than summoning only one of the [[dragon trio]] and being defeated by the player at Spear Pillar before any harm could occur (the Diamond or Pearl storyline).

*The gender of the player makes no difference in canon except in one special case: {{ga|Red}} is the Trainer who defeated [[Team Rocket]] in Kanto, while it is unknown if {{ga|Leaf}} even exists. Aside from this, unless a future game canonizes the gender of the protagonist of any of the other three regions, either choice is canon as the protagonist.
