Canon enough to remain relevant in: HOME's dex data, Masters EX, GO, LGPE, Unite, Mega's abilities listed in SV itself...talk back to me when Gen 6 remakes never happen or if Megas aren't revisited on a new Gen
If you can't battle with SM and USUM players then it's not a mainline gen 7 game.
Are you gonna start saying Munchlax is a Gen 3 Pokemon because it showed up in Rescue Team?
In a non-canon spin-off. And using anything from Gen 3 is disingenuous, as they ended up running around with their hair on fire after Game Freak had to delay. Odds are, had they not scuffed '05 release, it wouldn't been added.
>distant land noted as pokémon's place of origin >instead of "the Johto/Unova/Alola/Whatever Region" as in all mainline games
That's right. Non canon you moron frick. Because Game Freak doesn't recognise their origin point, meaning THEY don't consider it part of their game world.
>i'm a moron and i need to win so 'ill say i do
Play the games child.

By that logic, LGPE is Gen 8, SwSh is Gen 9, BDSP is Gen 10, PLA is Gen 11 and SV is Gen 12
>ITT: unironic morons wilfully misinterpret a kid's game
Meltan is Gen 7, because Gen 8 didn't launch before it got released, Hisuians are Gen 8 because THEY similarly were introduced before Gen 9 launched and you homosexuals MUST be 2009 Gen Alphas, because you're acting as young as kids who would have started with Gen 7 act like.
Again, not useable in a mainline game of that generation means it's not part of that generation.
Hisuian Pokemon especially have 0 excuse when Sword and Shield could have simply been patched to let them in.
Good job LVGPE IS mainline, according to Game Freak.
Just stop you little incel, there's no such thing as "non-canon" Game Freak pokémon games. That's reserved for actual non-canon shit like colosseum.
Let me break it down for you >GEN 1 >MAINLINE GAMES
Red, Blue and Yellow (could freely trade and battle between each other with no restrictions) >SIDE GAMES
Stadium (could interact with RBY through trades and other features but not battling) >GEN 2 >MAINLINE GAMES
Gold, Silver and Crystal (could freely trade and battle between each other with no restrictions) >SIDE GAMES
Stadium 2 (could interact with GSC through trades and other features but not battling) >GEN 3 >MAIN GAMES
Ruby, Sapphire, FireRed, LeafGreen and Emerald (could freely trade and battle between each other with no restrictions) >SIDE GAMES
Colosseum and XD Gale of Darkness (could interact with RSE and FRLG through trades and other features but not battling) >GEN 4 >MAIN GAMES
Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold and SoulSilver (could freely trade and battle between each other with no restrictions) >SIDE GAMES
BATTLE REVOLUTION (could interact with DPPt and HGSS through trades and other features but not battling) >GEN 5 >MAIN GAMES
Black, White, Black 2 and White 2 (could freely trade and battle between each other with no restrictions) >SIDE GAMES
uhh... Conquest I guess? Rumble Blast?
The Dream World might be the closest thing to the Stadiums it had. >GEN 6 >MAIN GAMES
X, Y, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire (could freely trade and battle between each other with no restrictions) >SIDE GAMES
*cough* >GEN 7 >MAIN GAMES
Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon (could freely trade and battle between each other with no restrictions) >SIDE GAMES
Red VC, Blue VC, Yellow VC, Gold VC, Silver VC, Crystal VC, Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee (VC games couldn't interact with SM and USUM directly but Pokemon bank allowed them to transfer Pokemon; LGPE could transfer directly with SM and USUM but once again, not battle) >GEN 8 >MAIN GAMES
Sword and Shield (could freely trade and battle between each other) >SIDE GAMES
Legends, Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl (can only interact with Pokemon Home)
If a Pokemon isn't introduced in a main game listed here it's not part of that generation but instead of the first mainline game it becomes available in (i.e. Melmetal in Sword and Shield and Hisuian Pokemon in Scarlet and Violet)
I don't give a frick what you think, LGPE's Gen 7, thus Meltan and Melmetal are Gen 7. That Ash used them in the final year of the anime should have fricking told you that, but you're too firmly up your own arse in laa-laa land to have an ounce of awareness of what they tried to tell you way back when in 2018 when this shit got revealed.
In case you're still unaware, they've moved AWAY from inter-connectivity between games in a Gen. Started with Gen 7, continued in Gen 8. They not being useable in any game but the one they were intended to be a part of doesn't make them skip a Gen. They're already known monsters in a series that doesn't reveal or add new shit until it has to.
>Colosseum and XD Gale of Darkness (could interact with RSE and FRLG through trades and other features but not battling)
I'm pretty sure you can battle with your story team vs gba games in those
And hisuian pokemon are gen 8
Wrong.
Gen 7.5
Gen 8.5
It's 8
8 vs 9 doesn't matter, switch games aren't canon
Only the 3DS games are fully non canon since mega evolution isn't canon
Canon enough to remain relevant in: HOME's dex data, Masters EX, GO, LGPE, Unite, Mega's abilities listed in SV itself...talk back to me when Gen 6 remakes never happen or if Megas aren't revisited on a new Gen
both correct
get a brain
Gen 1 because Pokemon Go is also Gen 1.
>not useable in a Gen 7 game
>not a Gen 7 Pokemon
It's that simple.
LGPE is a gen 7 game
If you can't battle with SM and USUM players then it's not a mainline gen 7 game.
Are you gonna start saying Munchlax is a Gen 3 Pokemon because it showed up in Rescue Team?
No, moron.
Alright, glad we could reach an agreement and we can finally call Melmetal a Gen 8 Pokemon.
You could battle with Munchlax in Gen 3.
In a non-canon spin-off. And using anything from Gen 3 is disingenuous, as they ended up running around with their hair on fire after Game Freak had to delay. Odds are, had they not scuffed '05 release, it wouldn't been added.
>non canon
>distant land noted as pokémon's place of origin
>instead of "the Johto/Unova/Alola/Whatever Region" as in all mainline games
That's right. Non canon you moron frick. Because Game Freak doesn't recognise their origin point, meaning THEY don't consider it part of their game world.
>the comparison I used fell apart but ignore it!
>i'm a moron and i need to win so 'ill say i do
Play the games child.
>If you can't battle with SM and USUM players then it's not a mainline gen 7 game.
By that logic, LGPE is Gen 8, SwSh is Gen 9, BDSP is Gen 10, PLA is Gen 11 and SV is Gen 12
Do you think the ORAS exclusive Megas are Gen VI or Gen VII?
Why melmetal out of all pokemon has a gigantamax form anyway?
Pokemon GO is a gen 6 game, so this is a gen 6 Pokemon
>ITT: unironic morons wilfully misinterpret a kid's game
Meltan is Gen 7, because Gen 8 didn't launch before it got released, Hisuians are Gen 8 because THEY similarly were introduced before Gen 9 launched and you homosexuals MUST be 2009 Gen Alphas, because you're acting as young as kids who would have started with Gen 7 act like.

I agree with Meltan being gen 7, but using the anime is a bad example. Is Togepi gen 1?
>Colosseum and XD Gale of Darkness (could interact with RSE and FRLG through trades and other features but not battling)

Doesn't count.
why not
>GFs opinion mattering
Also:
>patching a game they had replaced with TWO new games
You really are a stupid little c**t.
You are infuriatingly moronic. Go outside. Holy frick.
they are honorary gen 1 mons
Gen.7 was a mistake
It's been well known they're Gen 7 for a long time. This isn't even in question
A Pokémon Go Pokémon
Let's go pee pee isn't gen anything, it's a pokemon go spinoff.
