ORAS on the timeline; Gamefreak ******** their continuity

Yeah...this is all very confusing...

Just updated my OP; there's no solution to fix this except:

consider ORAS non-canon or Gamefreak will have to retcon the s**t out of the timeline.

Noted.

I mean, I haven't gotten to the Delta Episode yet so this might not work, but maybe we just write off the trading compatibility as a meta concept, and assume that Hoenn and Kalos are the only regions with mega evolution and are very secretive about it (the other regions don't know it exists).

Or Zinnia's right and there'[s a parallel universe in which megas exist but things in both universes still occur in basically the same order. Perhaps the universes branch until XY, which could exist in both and introduce megas into the non-mega timeline.

So like FRLG/RSE>HGSS/DPPT>BW>BW2/XY as the non-mega timeline

and megaGen1/ORAS>megaGen2/4>megaGen5>XY as the mega timeline

Zinnia mentions something along the lines of "I wonder if there's another hoenn where evolution took a different path" ie no mega evolutions, I'm guessing it's pointing to RSE being a separate timeline.

That makes sense, as any Pokemon you manage to transfer from RSE have the tag "Moved though time and space".

I'd tell the troll to blow it out his @$$, but it's already stuffed full and blocked. Just ignore him.
