Continuity Issues

As much as we have tried to stay in continuity with the official anime, some minor concepts do slip through the net. This is due to either an event happening in the anime AFTER a particular Rebirth episode was written that compromises what was in the episode text or an oversight on our part while scanning official episode review notes.

We shall carry on striving to stay linked with the anime as best as possible until the end of the Sinnoh season. If those in charge of Pokémon decide to make further adventures for Ash and his friends after this, the Rebirth continuity will be forced to break from the anime continuity to prevent timeline clashes. However, content from these episodes may act as inspiration for future Rebirth arcs.

If something appears in a Rebirth episode which unintentionally conflicts with any series related to the Sinnoh region or beforehand, point it out nicely. It may have been done on purpose, but if not, we'll see if its alterable. Thanks!

Depleti, Oren Soffer and Silvester Sasinek for inspiring Rebirth's creation through their Pokécentric websites.

Tim Dixon, for without his whole-hearted enthusiasm and support of Pokémon Rebirth, the project would likely have been abandoned back in 2003.
