:I never said they were Gen 8, I asked where the source was that says they're Gen 7. They have virtually nothing in common with the Gen 7 games.

::Generations aren't exactly an official construct, it's more of a fan thing, from my understanding. So there's not a official source, just as there isn't an official source that Diamond and Pearl are not Gen 3, or that Black and White 2 are still Gen 5. The generally accepted definition of a new generation is that if a game takes place in a new region, has a new story, and includes a significant amount of new Pokémon, it's a new generation. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celadonkey]] 20:26, 4 June 2018 (UTC) | ::Generations aren't exactly an official construct, it's more of a fan thing, from my understanding.
