This guy sounds like the guy in Pokémon anime who says “as the journey continues”

I played Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver, Crystal as kid. I never knew Pokemon got so weird with its cosmology.

I have been to all nine regions now. A long time ago when I was still new to my journey an important question was asked, "What makes a trainer a pokemon master? Being the strongest trainer or capturing every known pokemon in existence?" To this day...i have enjoyed finding my own answer. I am 32 and my journey continues 😊

A lot of people forget that in Gen 2, Prof. Elm discovered Pokemon eggs, and no one knew until his discovery that Pokemon can lay eggs, but in Gen 3, it is common knowledge already (Johto's day care people in GSC are so surprised when the Pokemon you left with them have an egg that they claim they have no idea how the egg got there, while Hoenn's day care people in RSE are not as surprised), yet a lot of fellow Pokemon fans seem to think Gen 3 takes place before Gen 2, when it should be the other way around, especially when you take into consideration that the Pokedex being Prof. Oak's personal invention wouldn't be passed on to other regional Pokemon professors so quickly, otherwise, why after 3 years does Prof. Elm not have his own Podedex (Remember in Gen 2, Prof. Oak gives you the Pokedex, not Prof. Elm), but Prof. Birch somehow has his own Pokedex in such a short time despite not personally knowing Prof. Oak?

Hey Commonwealth in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet there is a book in the Academy referencing the events of Sword and Shield and in the history teachers room in the intro you can see Laventon and the old Pokèball from Legends Arceus which I think means that all those games take place in the same timeline although also in the Pokémon Violet dex entry for Roaring Moon they reference Mega Evolution so personally I think that all those games take place in the mega timeline now

I was not aware how confusing the timelines got in later series. Thank you for making this.

To be fair, Sada and Turo could both be Arvin's parents with one of them being the one that took him from the Area Zero labs to give him a safer life.

Scarlet and violet and also sword and shield are in the mega evolution multiverse. If you read roaring moon's violet entry, it mentions mega evolution (it calls it "a phenomenon" though instead of stating explicitly), confirming that it is part of mega evolution timeline. Also, if you go to the academy and read all the books there, you will find prof. Sonia's books in the academy, confirming that the galar games happened in the same universe as scarlet and violet, which means they are also part of the mega evolution multiverse

My favourite part of pokemon violet (and in general for the pokemon games) was when Nemona and I fought against paradox delibird and she proceeded to oneshot it without a crit and before I could even move. After having so many double partners be useless in the games, this was when I knew I'd found a true rival in pokemon.

I will say, in one of the books inside the academy in Scarlet and Violet titled "The Occular: August Edition" says that someone went to Stow On Side in Galar to study the mural but it was destroyed, so we can say S&S and S&V both take place in the same universe. And, as some have said, Roaring Moon has a nod towards Mega Salamence, so they could also lie within the Mega Timeline

I gotta say, I appreciate the updates to this. Way more effort than most would put in.

I was searching for more information on the split time line of Pokémon. Hearing the Storyteller is a blast from the past. I used to listen to Shoddycast long ago.

I just knew they were gonna say Iono’s name wrong

I think it's possible that both SwSh and SV might take place in the mega evolution universe because of two things. (small spoilers ahead) The first is that Galar: A History, the book that Sonia wrote in SwSh, can be found in the Naranja/Uva Academy, meaning that Scarlet and Violet take place in the same universe as Sword and Shield. Furthermore, the dex entry for Roaring Moon in Violet states that the pokemon has "some connection to a phenomenon that occurs in a certain region", referencing both Kalos and mega evolution (though it isn't something that can only be done in Kalos as we've seen it be performed in Hoenn, Alola, and Kanto as well).

Last time i watched this video was sometime during Alola. So much has gone in since then. What world building. PS near the end when discussing SV, he described Iono as an Internet sensation. Those of us who have played the game know the actual Internet sensation is none other then Larry

The dex entry of roaring moon does imply that S&V are likely to be in the ME universe Wonder if that'll ever be elborated on later in game

What the-? Okay, NO. Rainbow Rocket's Giovanni ISN'T from the Mega Evolution timeline. He's from a world where, while Mega Evolution did exist, the protagonist that stops him DIDN'T exist. Thanks to that, every single operation his Team Rocket conducted was a flawless success; the plans for Master Ball production were taken and mass produced by him, his Game Corner was never shut down nor was his secret base discovered and he managed to CATCH MEWTWO. This is why he was impressed when Elio/Selene beat him in a battle, while his loss to Ethan in HGSS frustrated him.

I always love coming back to this video every few years to see how the time line changes

You forgot to mention that the Darkest Day where Zacian and Zamazenta first fought Eternatus happened 3,000 years ago as well

I feel like im watching The History Channel.

Just a heads up, Sun and Moon actually have the names Elio and Selene respectively

I couldn’t help but laugh when he mentioned humans sealed Regigigas away due to the fear of his immense powers.

Always happy to hear the storyteller. Thanks guys!

Cassadopeia took me out 🤣 love these videos! Thank you! I never played gens 2, 3, 6, or 7 so it was nice to get the fill in.

Recently found your channel and have been waiting for this!!! ❤ you put together incredible videos!

28:08 We do know who came out triumphant from this battle, it was Gold/Ethan, and we know this because in Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold and SoulSilver, once you defeat Red, the game credits plays, implying that Gold/Ethan canonically defeated Red.

Man we certainly have come a long way from 1996... No stopping this crazy train though! can't wait to see what the hell gen 10s going to be

I wish y’all would cover the Pokémon Ranger and Colosseum/XD timelines. Amazing work like always!

Thanks, this was very fun to hear! Good job narrator!

Thanks for making such a great video!

You are incredibly talented. This is an amazing video.

Was just wondering when you guys would release this video. Scarlet and Violet have so many references to past games. Pewter Crunchies=Let's Go games, Galar History=Sword and Shield, Legends Arceus, DPP, BDSP, RSEORAS, etc.

As a 30yo Pokémon fan, I have never realized that the lore cut this deep

Since that Rainbow Rocket Giovanni is still at large I am wondering if that he would make a return for another revenge or something like that

look forward to these every release

my gawd, what a journey, watching this video only thinking ash was the mc all this time😂

This was so cool to watch , the nostalgia just hits , i been playing since red version 🤙🤙

What a great voice, feels like I’m watching a official Pokémon video

Wow ! It feels like watching a whole new religion system, with its own set of legends and prophecies ! No wonder so many fell in love with this saga ! So much to explore and analyse...

I can't wait to binge this

I remember watching the first one in grade 1 and I come back every now and day for a bit of nostalgia

19:04 He actually said "Professor OAUH!"🤣🤣🤣

Other than some minor mistakes in some names such as Ingo, you called him Igor, other than that: great stuff can´t wait for more

I've been waiting for too long.

I love these typa videos ngl

Is that the storyteller? That's amazing

Love getting these every single next gen lmao

The music transition into gen 3 was a banger

Sounds so nostalgic

He sounds like the anime narrator for Pokémon wow

Amazing!

My head cannon is humans came from another reality through some kind of time space rift.

I like the reference to Mew under the Truck:) But anyway Mew can be caught in that alternate universe with a special Pikachu:)

Narrator: And Mewtwo My brain: You mean Mew *AS WELL*

Julian or Floriana xD caught a mess up there. But very very good video!!!!!

47:49 The fire gym leader is from Hoenn. It says that in several places.

"Mew is probably still under that truck." Best deep cut XD

Gonna be honest the Legends Arceus part feels like a tutorial and a documentary.

There's implications Scarlet/Violet still falls in the time line, such as a book published by Sonia being in the Academy's Entrance Hall, and Professor Laventon appearing on the History class' backboard.

are you sure youre not the actual narrator for the anime’s english dub

I understand they aren't mainline, but you could honestly squeeze the "Snap" games into this as well. Todd in the first one would be, relatively speaking, somewhere between Kanto and Hoenn. New Snap would be placed shortly before/after sword and sheild with the phenomena in game that causes pokemon to be "extremely large and glowing". Its almost like they hinted at Terestalization prior to S/V, while still acknowledging Dyna/Gigantamax - only these pokemon (Snaps) happened due to a meteor that landed in the middle of the islands. So, long story short here; the meteor is a very common denominator in the timeline(s). Heck, one might even suggest its one timeline, but due to certain shenanigans in specific games - history was altered (the Kalos war where he loses Floette, being reunited in later games, Red making multiple appearances throughout regions (his story seems boarderline untouchable, it always happens). Idk, I'm just throwing things out there 😂 i love the timeline videos. A small peice of me believes that certain phenomena are indeed regional rather than worldwide - but for this theory to work, I would have to know exactly where the meteor(s) hit in each region, and which of said regions are close enough to be affected. We know Kanto, Johto and Hoenn(?)are relatively close to one another and knowing that meteors break apart when entering the atmosphere, I am positive it/they would have spread over different areas of the world/regions. Lastly, i can't remember precisely but was there not someone in the Alpha/Omega versions who wasn't "originally from" this timeline? It wasnt Steven, but I think you meet them in that same city.

When you realise the Old Chato in Sinnoh is the Galaxy Headquarters back in the time of Hisui. It was said Cyrus lived there with his parents until they died. He then lived in Sunnyshore city with his grandparents. He was heavily depressed from his parents deaths causing him to question the gifts of the Lake Trio (Emotions, knowledge, and willpower) and isolated himself with his machines until he was old enough to form team galactic. He has such a tragic back story. If only someone could help him with his trauma and show him the true value of the Lake Trio's gift to the world.

This guy is a natural narrator

I find it funny how I recognise like 90% of this video from the timeline video 3 years ago

This stuff is bananas

The question is: was Kalos at war with Galar or Paldea??

YOOOO HES BACK THE GUY, HES BACK

heyyy it’s the storyteller from shoddycast !

We do actually know what universe Pokémon Sword and Shield are in: the mega evolution timeline. We know this because of Roaring Moon's pokedex entry in Pokémon Violet. The pokedex entry says, "According to an article in a dubious magazine, this Pokémon has some connection to a phenomenon that occurs in a certain region." This confirms that Scarlet and Violet take place in the mega evolution timeline. We can connect this to the existence of a book that can be inferred to be Sonia's book in the Uva/Naranja academy library. This book directly references the story of Pokémon Sword and Shield.

I can't stop thinking of the storyteller power armor and all, wandering the pokemon world now.

I'm firmly of the mind that Scarlet and Violet take place in the same universe considering the only major difference between the 2 can take place at the same time (the Paradox pokemon -- to include Koraidon and Miraidon -- are merely pokemon from the past and future. The only other difference is the name of the school which I have mixed feelings about (I like the names but don't quite understand the references if any outside the colors, aside from that why not just Mesagoza Academy after the city it's in?). Hate to do it to the dude but Arven just has 2 absentee parents with an obsession for time travel

I would like a full complete timeline with everysingle game even including pokemon snap anf the ranger games. Even add the mystery dungeon stories to the timeline. Since the mystery dungeon time could very well be around the very beginning when the first humans emerged.

Nice video!And also Pokemon let’s go pikachu/eevee main heroe’s names are male Chase and female Elaine

I would like to see the placement of all the Pokémon games’ land masses on one world map. Just for shock value if nothing else. Eventually I’d like to see one big massively multiplayer online Pokémon game with all 9 land masses and all 1008+ Pokémon.

Eternatus had Eternamaxed, not Gigantamaxed.

When he said “Anyhow” I chuckled

I think SV at the end of both mega and non-mega timelines, basically like ‘Breath of the Wild’ on timeline placement, this could be due to Gigantamaxing replacing mega evolutions and being unique to Galar only. This could be referenced by the book of galar in the academy, as well Roaring Moon Pokédex entry as well as it’s design referencing Mega Salamence. This generation involves time, so i might have two theories. The first being that the time machine at the end of SV being shut down or destroyed could be the result. The second being that it was the mysterious legendary turtle or disk Pokémon that was referenced in the academy, since Koraidon represents Past and Miraidon represents Future, it safe to say it also has something to with time, even if it was rumoured to have caused teralisation and creation of Area Zero.

Very good video, but I have to point out that the games with the best received and most critically acclaimed story were the shortest part of the entire video. Even The Let’s Go games which were rehash’s of the originals felt longer than BW and B2W2 combined

I’m very new to Pokémon, only just playing my first game (Violet). So this should hopefully be very helpful!

You coulda added the time machine being built right around before red n blue, and the Great crator being formed during the tube earth formation process. But since more info about that will come soon in dlc so whateva

I feel like scarlet and violet are in the mega evolution multiverse, since salamences paradox form pokedex entry in violet mentions it having a reseamblance to some kind of phenomenom in another region

Cartoon King: I love to learn more about Pokémon

"after the lake Guardians who after some initial trolling bestowed the red chain" Funniest line in this video

omg what a madlad!

This is exactly what I needed to catch my gen 4 ass up.

me after seeing arven's dog: time to make the ocean even bigger

This story sounds like a new theory on human evolution poketology

The goat

Holy shitttt we got the storyteller to us about pokemon niceeee

about scarlet and violet i think the main characters aka who we play as, are from Galar judging by how most of the stuff in their rooms are from galar and the fact that they moved to paldea

been playing since on my GameBoy Pocket!

Nice

Amazing video

As crazy as the pokemon adventures manga is it did the overall pokemon story really well and managed to include all of the games storylines into it Also i like to think that the only canonical version if a gen is the latest one and that all the katest versions of the games are part of the same universe for example sun and moon dont exist but ultra sun and moon do

Every time I watch these videos, I get a hankering to play some Fallout. If you know, you know.

Roaring Moon's Violet dex entry. Confirms that Scarlet and Violet takes place in the Mega Evolution Timeline.

Honestly for my minds sake, i just consider the games 1 timeline where all the main events happened and whatever contradiction appears is just fused together or updated with the newest info. Since the anime mainly follows one same timeline with Ash's history and they go through every region with and without megas, and even reference megas on older regions like Brock or Cynthia having key stones, I just center everything in main events lol

This guy seems like he would narrate a an entire anime, the way this guy talks is amazing

It's funny how the multiverse deal was done long before it became mainstream, and at that time the whole point of it was explaining why remakes have mechanics that didn't exist in the original games.

You should do one of just with mega universe
