The plot of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and {{game|Red and Green|s}} are contemporaneous. They are then followed by the equally contemporaneous plot of {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} and {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, which are set three years later. Due to the known durations between other games, it can be calculated that {{game|Black and White|s}}  are set 3-13 years after Pokémon Gold, Silver, Crystal, Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]] are set two years after those games, and are contemporaneous with {{g|X and Y}}<ref name="Matsumiya"/>. {{g|Sun and Moon}} and {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} take place two years after the events of Pokémon Black 2 and White 2<ref>Pokémon Sun and Moon [[Grimsley]] [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/settei settei]</ref> and 10-20 years after the Generation I core series games and Pokémon Emerald.<ref name="Anabel">In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, it is mentioned that [[Anabel]] fell through an [[Ultra Wormhole]] 10 years ago.
