@coriander however all of these retcons happened in The Alternate Universe Where Mega Evolution Exists™ and now that they've removed Mega Evolution from the games i think we're still kind of waiting for word as to whether that plot thread is going to like… stick around?? or be dropped??

@coriander most people resolve this by just saying let's go isn't real but let's go includes a character from sun and moon and actually has a pretty clear place in the timeline and it does make sense if you just accept that retcon and be like "okay, Red didn't stop Team Rocket and Gold and Silver haven't happened yet"

@coriander i don't know if you're aware of this already or not but in let's go! pikachu and let's go! eevee they retconned red and blue into NPCs that the player character interacts with, which means basically all of the original three generations mostly couldn't have happened (since team rocket obviously still exists in let's go!; cinnabar island is still there; mewtwo was never captured; etc etc etc)

on the other hand like half of the games have been retconned out of existence so there's that

oh no the adult character i’m writing porn for was likely born after the turn of the millennium

@gaditb the goal for version 2 is to make it generic across XML and use it as a DSL for various XML-based formats

i have the "generic" part done but haven't finished the "rewrite the parser in javascript" part
