Talk:Core series: Difference between revisions

I have completely had it with this edit warring about an inaccurate "timeline", which is based off a 25+ year old official guidebook in which most of it's contents were retconned compared to modern Pokémon lore (which already proves said book to be an unreliable source) as "evidence", and a single Porygon dex entry which is moreorless a simple reference to a release date in the real world from a 20th anniversary game. Doesn't help it already reeks of confirmation bias, relying on a deleted tweet. Isn't it suspicious that the writer deleted his tweet shortly after posting it? Coupled with Masuda heavily implying that the series uses a floating timeline as of Sword and Shield, I don't believe the tweet is to be taken at face value. At this rate, removing the timeline section entirely is the only way to put a stop to this stupid warring for good. Plus, neither the anime and manga articles have this section, so why should this page? [[User:Inkster|Inkster]] ([[User talk:Inkster|talk]]) 17:55, 7 September 2023 (UTC)

:Yes, this timeline is theoretical, but it's based on facts. If you don't like it ignore it, if you want to question it - use facts. What's on the page should be what is generally agreed, not something you chose to like. You are constatly changing your opinions and literally your entire contribution on this site is complaining about timeline. We cannot choose to ignore the RG book just because it's old, the original games had not enough space for all this lore that's why it was published separately. A fact from the lore isn't retconned until a directly contradicting information gets revealed.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|<span style="color:#CC0000">Rocket</span>]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|<span style="color:#666666">Grunt</span>]]''' 19:18, 7 September 2023 (UTC)

::You completely missed the point. The lore from that guidebook is literally no longer canon, given the games themselves after Gen I contradict what the guidebook says, and nobody brought it up years ago, which says a lot.
