→‎Usage: The comment about generational lines being ignored by "other" parts of the franchise (presumably meaning other than the core series game) doesn't really make sense. The anime has a new series every generation, even if that doesn't exactly line up with the release of a new game. Other parts of the franchise similarly observe generations to one extent or another.

+While generations are not usually discussed officially, they have been mentioned occasionally in official sources and by Pokémon staff.

-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 phenomenon is especially true of the {{pkmn|anime}}.) Newer generations may also ignore older parts of the canon that explicitly declare to be true something that is later changed.
