Pokemon, what happened to you?

[Vipershark]

Let's assume that with gen 5 they'll be releasing gen 3 remakes. That means that gen 5 will happen at the same time as gen 1 and 3, meanign that gen 2 and 4 are in a future timeline to the rest of the series. Not to mention that if there is a gen 6, gen 4 remakes will probably follow, making gen 6 in the future as well.

or it could just be that nintendo likes to put the most popular characters from the other games in to appease fans or something and there is no timeline at all

or something
