Reborn(E19) and Rejuvenation(V13): Geography and Timeline

I was looking on Tumblr some question about Reborn because i don't have nothing better to do with my life for curiosity, and then i found this.

A guy asks Ame where Reborn fits in canon timeline. And Ame replies so:

  Quote

that is such a gap. anyway, it has to be quite a bit after XD, i’d imagine like 8-10 years or so? but as usual it’s deliberately a bit vague

Expand  

She says that Reborn takes place 8/10 years after XD, and XD takes place around 5 years after the Kanto/Hoenn events, wich means that Reborn is set 13/15 years after gen 1/3 games. This also means that Shelly is probably already born during HGSS events, considering that the game takes place 3 years after gen 1/3 and 2 years before XD.

I will update the post with this new information when i've some free time.

Shelly is Bugsy's younger sister. 

In Reborn, she's 12 while in Johto events, Bugsy is around 12 as well (more like 10-12, but still) 

 

That means:

- during the evens of Johto games, Shelly was a toddler or little child (from a few months to 2 years) 

- in Reborn, Bugsy must be somewhere around in his early 20s'

 

...crap...

I've made Bugsy in my Reborn fanfic an non-adult teenager, while he's actually older than Oscar (protag, my OC). 

 

Of course, that won't stop me from having Oscar bullying Bugsy for him neglecting Shelly and threatening to destroy his entire career. Which he CAN do - being an Ambassador of PWA and Lance's good friend.

And she is at least 19 in Rejuvenation, older than Saki, Venam, Amber, Ren, etc.

Is there any reason they can't be?

I don't expect PLA to be canon, due to coming out after Reborn and Rejuv's lore was set in stone, but does anything necessarily prevent modern Sinnoh from being canon?

Expand  

The problem isn't Sinnoh it self, but the Sinnoh lore.

For Reborn this means that we have 2 Arceus, one fallen from a meteorite and one born at the top of mt Coronet. Is also excluded the possibility of be the same Arceus because, if i remember correctly, Ame said that Reborn is far away from Hoenn, which means that Sinnoh and Reborn are far apart. This also count for Giratina, in Platinum Giratina is locked in the distortion world, while i Reborn it's retreated in the south est part of the region.

 

For Rejuv the situation is a bit more long.

Rejuv confirm the existence of (atleast) three different Arceus: one is in possession of the Reborn MC,  before the events of Reborn he lied in the form of a meteorite(El diary describes it as "a rock") hundreds of meters under Reborn City; another one is the Archetype, it is in possession of

and in the end we have 

  Reveal hidden contents

So we know that, lorewise, Sinnoh Arceus isn't confirmed exist, and it's funny because in game Dialga, Palkia, Giratina and Arceus are named Sinnoh Legendaries.

 

Speaking of PLA, seems to be coherent with Rejuv lore. I nevere played it, but i know that is said that the Arceus we know is just a piece of a bigger Deity, like in Rejuv. This means that there are more than just three Arceus. Is true that Nymiera tell us that the Original Deity was splitted in just three parts, but she also say that the meteorite and Adrest were dead, which is not true. As i said before:

we have to take her words lightly

because we don't know what is true in her story, neither how is this true.

There is an theory that Arceus we can see and use is just "one of their arms", which consists only a piece of power of the Alpha One. 

 

But that contradicts with the multiple stories of Arceus' birth and creation. But neither GameFreak nor other creators are consistent with their creations. Like-... According to different lores, Arceus themselves have created: Hisui/Sinnoh, Ransei, Reborn, maybe Aevium, and some other regions I've forgotten. And in many cases, it is said to be different Arceus. 

Y-yeah, even if Original One had been split into three few thousand years ago, that's still not enough! Also-, what kind of meteor was that to defeat and split it? Was that the meteor from 12th movie, which actually managed to do it, or stronger one, as the former only managed to knock them out and kill had it not been for Damos? 

 

I know that's fanmade; non-canon, but it is very complicated. And also contradicts with the events of my headcanon and lore-... 

Everything else is nice, good. But that Arceus part is SO confusing - Jesus Christ...

Zina disappears

Wasn't she confirmed to be dead? And hinted that it was Sirius to kill her?

Her tombstone is seen on Beryl Cementery, and Sirius in Yureyu has confirmed to know Anna's father, calling him "a fool". Plus we know he was hunting for the keys... probably even before joining Team Meteor (because we don't know where that did happen, and how old Team Meteor exactly is): for Ruby Ring he murdered Elena, for Sapphire Bracelet he set Belrose mansion on fire, and for Amethyst Pendant... that. 

Still... We don't know if he killed (or tried to kill) someone for Emerald Brooch, which was in Elias' possession. He could (theorically) kill Elias' wife/fiancée (assuming he had one in the first place), but because of certain circumstances (like Solaris or Elias fighting back), he couldn't get it. 

Regardless, as of Reborn's V18 and Rejuvenation's V13, there's way too little info to claim something to be true

I know this theory. There is also one that say that the various types came from Ancient Giant defeated by Arceus

I think Arceus didn't create any region, they are just myths, and as a such the don't tell the reality. Remember that every people has different myths about the same thing, often also from the same group (I don't know if i can do references to real life religions, but i think you get what i mean)

I was a bit doubious about it. Also i don't remember nothing from the Post Glass Guntlet scene, not because i didn't like it, because it's one of my favorite if not my favorite part of the game for now, but mainly because my brother decided to bother me right during the part with more lore.

You are right, especially if we talk about Nymiera's story.

Ancient Giant... I've never heard of it. You mean Regigigas? Or that "Regialpha"?

Maybe i've explained myself badly. What i mean is that the fact Arceus creates the various regions is, in my opinion, false, but i'm convinced that every myth is based on a real event, just exaggerated and with the addition of various religious elements.

 

For Ransei... i don't think that Conquest is canon in both main-game and Reborn.

I really doubt we will never see something like that unless they make that Rejuv can read Reborn's savefiles.

 

I haven't finished the postgame yet (that's why the post isn't updated to e19, i will probably update the post the next week), but some of the Reborn characters that aren't connected to any route choice that can appear in Rejuv are(E19 and Rejuv spoilers):

So i finished to update this post to E19. I really loved this game, except for the fact that there are too many 4th wall breaks about the MC, that i found a bit annoying. But other than that i REALLY liked it.

 

Anyway if i forgot something or because i actual forgot that or because i didn't played the earlygame yet, please tell me.

Reborn's V19 and Rejuvenation's V13 contradict each other in one manner:

Interesting discussion. I know I'm way late to the party but there are a couple things I was wondering.

 

First, I see you placed a 3 year gap between Platinum and BW, but I would guess that the gap there would be bigger. One of the recent leaks had something saying that DP is 10 years after BW (image copied below). Also looking at how Caitlin aged between these games, it would seem that the gap is larger too. It's confirmed that Caitlin is an adult in Pokemon Masters based on her saying "As I moved into adulthood, I was able to control my emotions better and better." - this suggests that she's also probably a little older than 18 in the events of BW considering this likely happened before she became an elite 4 member. The recent leaks also had something saying in her concept art that she was in her mid 20s in BW which seems about right based on what's said in Masters. And then looking at her in Platinum, she looks no older than in her mid teens (I think the person who designed her said she was supposed to be 14).

r/PokeLeaks - Official Timeline of the Games

 

Also how do we know that Shelly is 12 in Reborn? I couldn't find anything which said that, though we know she's under 18 because she says that she's alone with the signed consent of her parents or whatever when talking to Sigmund Connal. Though if she's the same age as Heather (who looks no older than like 12) I guess this would make sense (not sure if that's confirmed anywhere).

 

Lastly I'm wondering how you've placed the upper bound of 15 years on the leaked Type: Null information as well as the upper bound of 11 years on Rejuv's events after SM. I think all that's fair to assume based on this stuff is that Reborn's events occurred after the events of SM, and Rejuv's events occurred at least 10 years after the events of SM. So if Reborn is 5 years before Rejuv, this means that Reborn is at least 5 years after SM.

 

Assuming the gap between Pt and BW is 10 years, this would change things a little but I think it still works? Pt is 3 years after RB, and SM is 4 years after BW, so SM could be about 17 years after RB. Then that would make Reborn let's say 5 years later, at 22 years after RB. Going back to Shelly, Bugsy would be about 29 at this time then (as opposed to 22 in your estimation). Could Shelly reasonably be more than 11 years younger than Bugsy? It might seem like a bit of a stretch (especially if she's actually 12), but it could explain why we wouldn't know anything about Shelly in HGSS (since she wasn't born yet), and perhaps also if her brother is so much older than her it would make more sense why she looks up to him and is trying to get him to notice her (he's less likely to acknowledge her much if he's way older too).

 

The other thing is that this would place Reborn's events more like 17 years after XD (which is a fair bit higher than what Ame guessed - though she did say "quite a bit after XD" which could mean she meant more so at least 8-10 years, not less). However, if you look at the message she was responding to, it seems like she was using the (likely incorrect) information in that message to give her estimation - the gap between FRLG/ORAS and SM is likely closer to 17 years, not 10. What we can see from her message is that she might be trying to say that Reborn is 3-5 years after SM, which would still be able to stand with everything else if the 5-year gap (which you gave) is right. The question she answered is below.

  Quote

Do you have any idea where Rebon fits into the canon timeline? According to an article in Bulbapedia, the gap between FRLG/ORAS and S/M is 10 years and XD is 2 years after the HGSS/DPPt events (this is not official)

Expand  

 

Does my revision create any contradictions? I'm trying to piece things together for the sake of my own game's timeline.

Also I'd like to address this with a potential explanation. Yes, it seems odd that 2-3 years before the events of Reborn, Celine appears before a "restored" Grand Hall. However, one explanation to this is that the Grand Hall we see in this picture is not in fact the "restored" version, but rather the "pre-destruction" version. It is called a "restoration" for a reason, in that the goal is to bring the city back to how it was, not something different (maybe the Grand Hall was brought back to exactly what it was before). Therefore, it could be possible that the earthquakes and stuff hadn't gotten too bad yet until closer to the start of Reborn's story. The timeline of events (https://pokemon-reborn.fandom.com/wiki/Timeline_of_Events) just states that the city fell to ruin sometime less than 10 years before the start of the story, so if the area around the Grand Hall only fell into disrepair less than 2-3 years ago, everything could still make sense I think?
