Tell me what you believe the timeline of Pokémon is, and what you think about mine.
 

The chronologically first generation to happen is X/Y. It has a lush wildlife and a generous amount of Pokémon. From then on, all the generations happen in chronologically backwards order, going X/Y, Black/White, D/P/P, R/S/E, until G/S/C. Over the course of these games, the number of Pokémon becomes smaller and smaller due to overzealous trainers hunting them to extinction. The Pokémon world panics, but is unable to fight back against the humans and their technological prowess. One after one, the natural bastions of wildlife fall.

In Gen2, a young Pokémon by the name of Celebi discovers an ancient legend about Dialga, the deity of time. Using her own limited powers over the time stream, she travels back to the time of Gen4, meets up with Dialga, and the two of them collaborate to rid time itself from the human menace. They travel to Mt. Silver to use it as some sort of amplifier of their powers. From there they proceed to attempt to rip the existence of humans out of the time stream and dump it in a temporal void. The Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series is a parallel universe where this plan succeeded.

However, in the main timeline, this effort proved futile and in fact greatly backfired. Instead of removing humanity from existence, they completely inverted their progression of time and haphazardly pasted it back into time. This faux-pas resulted in a messed up, bifurcated time stream where, while time continued to flow normally for Pokémon, the humans now progressed through time backwards. Pokémon die out one after another, while it appears that human technology and education becomes less and less advanced over time. However, since the games are told from a human POV, to us it just looks like there's more and more Pokémon appearing.

Meanwhile, due to an overload of temporal energy, Mt. Silver has been removed from any sort of temporal context and now exists in all times simultaneously. With Pokémon becoming extinct, and as a result humans becoming extinct as well due to food shortages, humanity's last survivor, Red, seeks refuge withing Mt. Silver. The messed up state of time as well as his overall situation, being the last of his kind, has driven him insane and unable to speak coherently. Arceus (who exists on a plane beyond worldly matters) is saddened by what his world has become, and so he sends an Avatar of himself in the form of Gold. Gold then travels to Mt. Silver to put Red, and by extension the whole world, out of its misery.

With everything that lived dead, the entire world ceases to exist. In its place Arceus creates a new world, attempting to remedy what corrupted his first draft and promoting living in harmony with nature instead of dominating it. That's when Pokémon Ranger happens. It doesn't work. Next he tries a world where capturing Pokémon is impossible, and you can just take photos of them. However, humans just use pester balls to knock Pokémon into lava.

So in the end Arceus gives up and just turns the entire world into Tetris.
