:::I honestly think Meltan counts as a Gen 7 Pokémon. Since it was introduced in a Gen 7 Game and not as of yet the unknown Gen 8 game , plus they have not officially stated it for the moment.

Generational status
According to Joe Merrick, Meltan is treated internally as if it were part of Generation VII, but that does not necessarily mean that it is part of Generation VII. Am I correct in saying that its generational status is unconfirmed at this time? bwburke94 (talk) 14:31, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
- I'm pretty sure Bulbapedia doesn't consider "treated internally" to mean much of anything, judging by the way folks handled the question of which Gen VII Pokémon are Legendary. Unless Meltan itself becomes available in a game that's definitely Gen VII or definitely Gen VIII, we should hold off on classifying it one way or the other. — Randomwaffle23 (talk) 15:18, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
- That being the case, considering sources have cited that it is introduced in Let's Go and conventions state that Let's Go is part of Gen VII, it would probably be similar in case to that of the USUM exclusive Legends/UBs.
- On the other hand, what if it stands as a cameo appearance in Let's Go (ala Munchlax, Bonsly, and Lucario in Rescue Team)? Would conventions point it to a Gen VIII label instead?
