Hmm, I understand your POV, its the Generation 2 storyline but using Generation 4 mechanics. I quite like the idea of it being Gen 2.1 XD.

Quote:

Sinnoh takes place at the same time as Johto.
Hoenn takes place at the same time as Kanto.

Just call it generation 2.
Using the above theory then Sinnoh is Generation 2 as well :P

Generation is used to describe when the game is released and the features it displays (and - so far - which platform), no when they take place, that's irrelevant.

GENERATION (pokemon) :A new era or phase that brings a revolutional change to previous pokemon installments and features a new set of pokemon of its own that are added to the national dex. It often starts off the next set of pokemon games on a new console.

therefore, by my thesis (which happens to be popular thought), HGSS are GenIV.

2 + 4 = 6? :D

Seriously, though, I'd consider them 4. I do like the sound of 2.1, though.

The more I am thinking about it the more this seems 4.5. I mean the pokethlon the new menu interface and the fact that notchie is an hgss exclusive not even tradable makes me think so.

it is gen 4. just like platinum had it's remakes it's still in the new gen.

the only time when it's a new gen. is if it has 150 new pokemon, moves and a unknown land.
