We all know that GAME FREAK employee Toshinobu Matsumiya made that tweet about the timeline of the core series, and the vague timespan between Generations II/IV and ''Pokémon Black'' and ''White''. But [https://twitter.com/matsumiyan/status/465154051173130240?t=ehkMxBfeYTuJrZgEZGPaJA&s=19 this other tweet also from Matsumiya] explicitly states that the timespan "is secret. Imagine freely!" meaning that it is intentionally vague, as well as up to interpretation. I believe the word from a GF staff has a higher priority over than a mess of speculation. Bottom line is, if we don't know the timespan, we just don't know.

:And do you not see the problem with this speculative paragraph on this article: "Porygon's Pokédex entries in Pokémon Sun, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon state that it was created 20 years ago,[Notes 4] and Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia states that Porygon was created one year before the events of Pokémon Red and Green, meaning Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon take place 19 years after Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow. From this information and the known gaps between other games in the series, it can be calculated that the gap between Generation II/IV and Pokémon Black and White is 12 years long." That books lore is very outdated (Pokémon Legends: Arceus blows the introduction section of Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia completely out of the water. The book claims that "30 Pokémon species were known in the 18th century" and of course, "150 types of Pokémon have been discovered through Professor Oak's surveys and research". In PLA, set centuries before Gens I and IV, over 200 species were discovered), which invalidates its credibility as a reliable source. And as for "Red and Green takes place in 1996"? Forget it. "As of 1996" ≠ "the games take place in 1996". It's also hypocritical to dismiss the Member Card date as a real-world reference, when Porygon's entries are only a reference to Red and Green being released 20 years prior to Sun and Moon. This whole "12 years" thing is all speculation and doesn't belong on this article. [[User:Inkster|Inkster]] ([[User talk:Inkster|talk]]) 03:12, 8 December 2022 (UTC) | |||
