Plus, there’s the Delta Episode, which contains a new form of Deoxys. They change the story relatively drastically by introducing Mega Evolutions for the Legendary Pokemon Groudon and Kyogre. Omega Ruby and Omega Sapphire take some extreme liberties with the games they are based on – more so than any of the other Pokemon remakes. However, this becomes unlikely when you take into consideration Omega Ruby and Omega Sapphire, which introduce Mega Evolution at an earlier stage.

The two games could arguably work on the main timeline, as you could argue that Mega Evolution may have only just been discovered at this late stage. Pokemon X and Y introduce Mega Evolution to the Pokemon series, which convolutes the timeline somewhat. Games: Omega Ruby, Omega Sapphire – followed many years later by X, Y (Insert Keanu Reeves “Woah” GIF here.) Two Years After That

Interestingly, you can speak to his son, who says: “My Dad used to have a cool job in a far away region.” And how old is that kid? Around 10 years old. His plans, though, have been put on the backburner after having a family. Remember, back in Kanto (the region featured in HeartGold and SoulSilver), there was a Team Rocket member with a peculiar way of speaking who stole the Machine Part? Well, that fella has moved to Unova – the region of Black and White – and intends to bring back Team Rocket once again. There’s also another character who appears in both HeartGold and SoulSilver as well as Black and White: a Team Rocket Grunt. By the time we meet her again in Black and White, she’s older than that, with her sprite having aged around 10 years or so. At the Battle Frontier, Caitlin’s meant to be around 14-years-old. Whether you have the memory of a Magikarp or a Mewtwo, though, you probably forgot that Caitlin actually appeared in the series before – in HeartGold, SoulSilver, and Platinum.Ĭaitlin appears at the Battle Frontier (which is, confusingly, almost identical in both the Gold and Silver remakes and Platinum, despite being in very different locations) and is said – at the time – to be one of the most important people at the establishment.

Now, it’s hard to miss Caitlin in Black and White as she’s a member of the Elite Four. However, we don’t know the exact gap between games, but there are a couple of clues that can help us out.įirstly, there’s the return of Caitlin. We know – again, with thanks to Matsumiya’s social media antics – that Black and White take place next on the Pokemon timeline. This is where things get a little more confusing.
