"The nut Pokémon isn't #891 and is a Generation 7 Pokémon, not Generation 8"

#PokemonGO: Doing a follow up to my previous post where I was pointing out how 891 is almost certainly not its number (https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/9i2v6o/the_new_pok%C3%A9mons_number_is_probably_not_891/)​Today, I got some further information and with this we are able to come to all the correct conclusions. Using the power of data with help from dortegla_ntd, I have determined that #891 is not this Pokémon's number, and that it is in fact a Generation 7 Pokémon.So, with the assets, after Genesect, they all went into a random numbering system that there's not that much logic to.So 649 was the end of Gen 5, and the first Gen 6 Pokémon's assets start at 701 (with Furfrou) all the way up to 774 which is Hoopa, with a couple of gaps in between.Then, Gen 7 starts at 801 with Mareanie and goes up to 888 with Zeraora, once again with some gaps.Now, this Pokémon is 891 in asset number, skipping another two spots. However, it's not 901 which would indicate a generational shift. So this both indicates that 891 is not a number and it is not a Generation 8 Pokémon or a preview of Generation 8 Pokémon. If it was, logically they'd have continued that pattern and started on 901 or it'd be over 900. For certain it definitely showcases that the asset ID numbers have nothing to do with National Pokédex numbers.All forms and Mega Evolutions are listed under the base Pokémon's asset number so Mega Blastoise is 009_51 for example. This, with Alola Forms, shows that GO and the main games share the same data as Alolan Forms are XXX_61 in both.Of course this is up in the air but the facts here speak for themselves.Thoughts? via /r/TheSilphRoad https://ift.tt/2xKkHa5
