4 | 1985 R/B |
2013-11-27 | A multitude of reports of a 'Vaporeon-woman' on Indigo Island spawns an investigation into the matter by the Pokémon League. Rumors abound that the sightings are of a 'missing link' between Pokémon and human. Many remain skeptical, while some Pokémon Trainers put their Pokémon journeys on hold to hunt for the creature. Team Rocket activity increases in sighting areas. |
5 | 1986 R/B |
2014-09-18 | Three additional scientists working on Project Armageddon declared dead, each with destabilizing DNA. It is believed that testing on a 'reverse-anthropomorphication' procedure has begun on scientists with questionable loyalty. |

3 | 1988 R/B |
2016-09-29 | Pokemorphs secure the central island in the chain of seven. Fighting continues on the outskirts of the island, and Pokemorph forces begin extending towards other islands.

2 | 1989 R/B |
2017-07-04 | Team Rocket faces imminent defeat in the Pokemorph War, and resorts to finally bombing the chain of islands south of Kanto where it was creating Pokemorphs. Staggering numbers of Pokemorphs and Rocket agents are killed, while the Pokemorphs scramble to evacuate the islands. |
3 | 1989 R/B |
2017-07-10 | All life on the islands of the Pokemorph camps is confirmed either eliminated or evacuated.

4 | 1989 R/B |
2017-08-28 | A breakthrough in the Pokémon anthropomorphication procedure yields increased success rate at a reduced transformation time frame. The first Pokemorph created through the revised procedure is Slither, the Arbok. Transformation time: 10 days. Pokemorphs created via the revised procedure dubbed "Second Generation" Pokemorphs, and once again work begins to create Pokemorphs, though beginning to treat Pokemorphs more as agents than creatures, while attempting to keep their presence hidden. Pokemorph production by Rocket is also reduced drastically, to avoid the catastrophic losses of the first generation. |
2 | 1989 R/B |
2017-10-02 | The Pokémon League begins discussions on how best to handle a continually deteriorating situation. Trainers attempt to reclaim Pokemorphs stolen as Pokémon, while other Pokemorphs are killed when exposed to high-level capture balls. Pokemorphs are viewed as monsters, and quickly become scapegoats. Humans fear the Pokemorphs, and the morphs resent humans more and more each day. It quickly becomes apparent that Pokemorphs and humans are unable to peacefully coexist in Kanto and Johto. |
5 | 1990 R/B |

5 | 1994 R/B |
2022-07 | Alongside their other activities, Plasma's scientists begin to experiment with Agent Armageddon. After a first attempt results in a catastrophic and painful failure for the first test subject, N demands that the scientists work on improving the formula's success ratio and reducing the pain involved for the Pokémon undergoing morphing. This delays the project, much to the annoyance of Ghetsis, but the end result is an improved AA with far fewer side-effects compared to the original. |
5 | 1994 R/B |
2022-12 | Thanks to the undercover nature of Plasma's operations, Team Rocket agents return to Kanto without discovering the source of their hack. They do, though, return with a few Unova Pokémon either stolen or caught. Most of which end up in the Second Generation morphing program. |
3 | 1995 R/B |
2023-01 | The first successful trials take place and the first new Unova Pokemorphs are created. It is decided by the Sages that Pokémon should be invited to take part rather than in any way forced. The procedure is sold as 'Ascending', a way to free their bonds as slaves to their Trainers by becoming equal, if not greater than them. Due to the much less painful process used and thanks to morphed Pokémon who do nothing but sing its praises to their unmorphed friends, uptake is high. |
3 | 1995 R/B |
2023-06 | The Plasma morphing program goes into full swing, and includes both education and aptitude tests to find out their talents. Rather than purely training them for combat, morphs are given training in a very wide field of subjects. Secretly, Ghetsis intend to release them once they take over to take jobs around Unova and, through their trust and loyalty to the Team, act as spies on the population. Plasma also explain to the new Pokemorphs the perils of the Red Death, and that since pokéballs will be outlawed once all Pokémon are free, they ask them to stay hidden and help the Team in secret until it is safe for them to leave. |
2 | 1995 R/B |
2023-09-03 | Pokemorph Island becomes a fully functioning society, with the vast majority of free Pokemorphs now living there. The Pokemorphs establish import and export lines, and Seaview is founded, both a volunteer halfway house for still homeless Pokemorphs who have yet to find their place in the new society, and as a mental institution, to help heal the mental wounds caused by the torturous existence with Team Rocket. |
2 | 1996 R/B |
2024-04-01 | Pokemorphs all but disappear from Indigo Island. Most Pokemorphs who were not moved to Pokemorph Island are recaptured by Team Rocket, and the dwindling few Pokemorphs still residing on Indigo retreat to sewers, alleys, or tiny villages carved out of caves or deep forests. |
3 | 1996 R/B |
2024-09 | Having exhausted their own Pokémon, Team Plasma begin to steal other people's Pokémon under the guise of liberation. They are used to help build the hidden castle and eventually also brought into the morphing program or released to the wild. |

4 | 1998 R/B |
2026-02-01 | The Pokemorph admitted to Saffron City's Hospital makes a complete recovery, and leaves the city as ordered. The identity of said Pokemorph is never admitted to the media, and kept under wraps by the staff of the hospital. |
3 | 1998 R/B |
2026-02 | Some disquiet is noticed in the Pokemorphs created from the stolen Pokémon. Their loyalty to their former masters still evident even after all they are given by Plasma. Fearing possible revolt as Team Rocket's did, Ghetsis hand-picks a few morphs whose aptitudes were in combat and bodyguard skills to become members of a Royal Guard and are told his true intentions. They train under the guidance of the Shadow Triad. |
4 | 1999 R/B |
2027-11-28 | Pallet Town's laboratory is raided by a band of Pokémon thieves bearing bold, red 'R's on their uniforms. Rumors abound that either Team Rocket has resurfaced, or that perhaps, a new band of thieves has taken on the moniker of Team Rocket. |

2 | 2003 R/S |
2031-10 | A number of robotic pokemon begin assaulting the populace of Pokemorph Island, source and cause unknown. These creations possess reasonably basic logic that directs them to attack only pokemorphs, and self-destruct when sufficiently damaged. Damage and loss of life results. |
4 | 2003 R/S |
2031 Winter | As more and more Pokemorphs are begin working at human business establishments, they find on average that their pay is lower than their human colleagues. Protests occur for several months before finally laws are passed ensuring equal pay for humans and Pokemorphs. |

The chemical in the rare Pinkan Berry is deliberately introduced into the island's ecosystem via its water supply, and it quickly begins turning many pokemorphs pink. While for most it's only temporary, a minority are permanently pinkified. Pinkan berries become a restricted - though not impossible - import, and the colour becomes the height of fashion for a little while. |
3 | 2007 R/S |
2035 Spring | Pokemorphs attempting to enter sporting contests in Nimbasa City are turned away on the grounds it would be unfair to their human competitors. In response, Pokemorphs start their own sporting competitions. Due to their more explosive performances, the Pokemorph sports were of interest to many kids and sporting fans looking for something new. Humans attempt to get in on what is quickly becoming a profitable business as managers, only to be turned away because the Pokemorphs want their entire organizations to be Pokemorph run and operated. Further arguments start and debates continue over fairness in both sport and other industries. |

2036-11 | Mewtwo announces its arrival to the island by destroying a ship in the Kanto Blockade near the southern beach. A fight soon breaks out over the island between Catasis and Mewtwo, causing incredible damage to the island: This is the first recorded incident of snow (and other bizarre weathers) over the city, many buildings undergo structural damage, and the distant west beach sinks into the ocean. The island's volcano reactivates, but in a true testament of power the lava flow is diverted to the ocean by a group of Pokemorphs. Among the casualties of the Mewtwo/Catasis fight is Nathanial Kingston, the island's Governor. He is succeeded by Carmell Sagiko, Lopunny-Morph, the leader of the PIA. The Kanto Blockade ends. A monument to those lost is assembled on South Beach by the Pokemorphs. As her first act in office, Carmell repeals the island-wide curfew. Shortly thereafter, the mandatory riot gear and firearms forced on the PIA by Kantonian governance are made optional. |

2038-01 | Pokemorph Island's membership in the Pokémon Contest League is mysteriously revoked. A pretty yet fruitless peaceful protest is staged on Main and Oak, the island's main intersection. |
3 | 2010 D/P |
2038-02 | After almost a decade tensions begin to reach a breaking point, with protests and outbursts becoming more violent when ever they occur. Seeking a solution to this crisis, the Pokemorphs ask for a separate city to have to themselves. Unfortunately, habitable locations that could support such a sizable expanding population (and accounting for the time needed to properly construct such a home) simply do not exist in Unova, at least none that could be utilized in a timely fashion. At this time, Champion Alder suggests the idea of approaching Kanto to negotiate for relocating the Pokemorphs from Unova to Pokemorph Island, which is mutually agreed upon by both sides. |

Unova will provide the transportation for the Pokemorphs to reach the Island, as well as give Kanto a substantial donation, in exchange for allowing the entire population of Unovan Pokemorphs to relocate to Pokemorph Island. The arrangements are made for a series of cruise ships will be chartered to transport them from Castelia City to Pokemorph Island, which are to be accompanied by the International Police. |
