Generation: Difference between revisions

While generations are not usually discussed officially, they are occasionally. [[Junichi Masuda]] has [http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/?m=201301 referred to] the sixth generation on his blog. {{game|Black and White|s}} were [https://web.archive.org/web/20100603050241/http://www.pokemon.com/us/news/vg_blackwhite_announce-2010-05-28/ referred to] as a "new generation of Pokémon", and [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]] are [http://pokemon.gamespress.com/release.asp?i=1942&lang=en&region=United+Kingdom referred to] as the "newest generation" in press releases.

Generational lines are typically ignored in other parts of the franchise, which continue from where the last generation left off and keep the story going (this is especially true of the {{pkmn|anime}}), and may ignore older parts of the canon that explicitly declare to be true something that is later changed.

<!--Side games: a game where you can send Pokémon to or from a core game (not necessarily both ways); if only an event is sent, as in the Ranger games, it does not count.
