{{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} take place at least some years before Black and White, as the [[Royal Unova]] is stated to be currently under construction and scheduled to be complete in an unspecified number of years. | {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} take place at least some years before Black and White, as the [[Royal Unova]] is stated to be currently under construction and scheduled to be complete in an unspecified number of years. These games, therefore, also take place some time prior to the events of X and Y; further, if they are contemporaneous with the events of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} it follows that they are also contemporaneous with {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. | ||
However, the overall continuity between the sixth generation games and those that precede them is not especially clear. In-game dialogue in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} suggests that the sixth generation games might take place in an alternate universe parallel to the universe in which the earlier games are contained. During the [[Delta Episode]] at [[Mossdeep Space Center]], [[Zinnia]] hints that there might be another version of Hoenn that has not discovered [[Mega Evolution]]: | |||
:''"My people know it. From generation to generation, we pass along the lore about the distortions in the world borne by the Mega Evolution mechanism. And about the existence of another world, which we have long observed to be just like this one and yet not the same... That's right. A Hoenn region that's almost exactly like this one we live in. Filled with Pokémon and people like us. A world where maybe the evolution of Pokémon took a slightly different path, where Mega Evolution is unknown... A world where that war 3,000 years ago...never happened. A world where the ultimate weapon was never even built. And in that Hoenn of that world... What would happen if one day, out of the blue, a meteoroid appeared? What would happen to the people of that world, without the technology to destroy the meteoroid or the power to warp it away? ... Looks like it's beyond the power of your imagination."'' | |||
Zinnia's comments apparently describe the world of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. The possibility of alternate universes gives some ambiguity to any perceived inter-generational continuity between the first five generations and the sixth; it is worth noting that the existence of alternate [[dimensions]] in the [[Pokemon universe]] has been explored in previous games, notably the [[Distortion World]] of {{game|Platinum}}, as well as in the {{pkmn|anime}} and spinoff games. | |||
