    every generation they had with Pokémon, new Pokémon were released.... in the real world new animals don't get created in every generation... so... what were the newer generation Pokémon doing during the previous generations? for example... where were Reshiram and Zekrom and the rest of the gen 5 Pokémon at during gen 4? where were Palkia and Dialga and the rest of gen 4 during gen 3? and so on.... where all those Pokémon hiding in some unreachable place all that time and all of a sudden came out? what are your though? where do you think those Pokémon where all this time they were unknown?
     
    They didn't exist until they were written into the franchise. So what they were doing was nothing cause they were yet to exist. As for what history says upon the generation occurring. Tao Dragons were one Dragon and split apart by the two brothers that waged war and brought Unova to it's knees. Arceus created Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina and so on. So until they are actually created and have a back story who knows. Snowmanmon could be chilling in the Alps, but who knows cause it's not created yet.

    I don't think that's what he meant at all, this is a theory-like thread, not a thread about how it works relative to the games.

    Well I think pretty much every region is living on its own until it makes contact with the next region, the one that's created. For example, if the US didn't have connections with China/Asia, would be know that panda bears were an animal? Because we have global connections if a species exists somewhere else but not here then we can still know about it. I feel like these are still under construction in the Pokemon world, they haven't yet discovered every region. As far as new evolutions, it would be similar to how humans evolved to have different races. One Pokemon, say Tangela, was in two regions. In one, there was no need for it to ever evolve for some reason so it never did. But in the other one, it needed to evolve to survive, so it became Tangrowth.

    At least, that's my theory. :)
     
    Ooh that sounds interesting! Can you link it, or are you not sure where it is exactly?
     
    Every region is connected to another region, it's legends and myths, from a legendary Pokemon to another legendary Pokemon. So, I think that's the reason why we saw Cynthia in the HG/SS remake. :3 .. Just my thoughts though ~
     
    They were chillaxin :)

    Seriously, I don't really buy into anything the anime says, not even related to PokeCreation theory, but logic would suggest that these Pokemon had existed for all this time. As for the professors not knowing about the existence of Pokemon in other regions, I don't buy that - after all Oak and Rowan are supposedly old buddies. What does sound more plausible is that information on Pokemon not native to a region is kept from newbie trainers until they prove themselves (see the Pokedex upgrades in the games). It's not that they magically popped up once you beat the Elite Four; it's that your resident professor finally deemed you capable enough to learn about and go after these more exotic species.
     
    I actually second Toujour's theory
    They just lived their lifes the way they always did,but they didn't have conenctions with other regions,except Unova, that never had physical conenctions(exception being the Dream World)
    When connections were made some came along with trainers on other regions,bred,had kids and spread themselves .
    When the games occur,some events also happened,but other than that,they just lived their lifes the normal way.
     
    I've always wondered that! I've also wondered why they never learned about them since other people were always with them in the anime. There are always flashbacks to a looong time ago when people were bonding and interacting with Pokemon from a new generation. How come Prof.Oak has never discovered these yet even though there are so many regions where people have been interacting with these 'new' Pokemon since the beginning of time? And also, since there are lots and lots of other people and professors in other regions, why are we not able to discover the Pokemon that live there quite easily? Just a thought...not sure if you guys understand exactly what i'm trying to say. It's a little hard to explain what i'm trying to get at.

    I understood what you meant,the answer is because these professor themselves didn't know that there were others.
    They didn't know of an other region,exception being Kanto + Johto,that I think,that they have always progressed together,but in the first game only Kanto receives the spotlight,because they were still working on the integrating part ...
     
    All Pokémon from every Generation (this includes the current five generations, as well as any future generations) have always existed. Let me explain from a regional standpoint.

    Regional Professors only tell the rookie trainers to record info on native pokémon so that they (the rookie trainers) can familiarise themselves with the local pokémon first before taking on pokémon from other regions/generations.
    In other words, regional professors trust experienced trainers to handle 'foreign' pokémon (this is where pokémon from previous & future generations fall into) and not rookies.
     
    Every version pits your character as the future Champion or "Chosen one", most legendary Pokémon don't just come about as they require interaction from you so I always assumed they just laid dormant in mythology until we came along. As for the others, they just hung out in their respective regions until explored by us. The Cartoon portrays it slightly more realistically as Ash comes across Sinnoh and Jhonto Pokémon whist exploring kanto. Also the usual suspects like Geodude, abra, tentacreul and my most hated pokemon Zubat show up in other regions which would lead me to believe that after jhonto was explored all the previous pokemon migrated onto other regions.

    Just my take on things.
