Man, Ultra Wormholes, they took the whole multiverse theory that Zinnia introduced and basically confirmed it.
But to talk about Ultra Wormholes and the multiverse theory, I have to include this image. This is not mine at all, someone who's probably very awesome made this.
This image is awesome, but I prefer to shorten the names of the universes, I shorten them to Classicverse, Advancedverse, and Megaverse respectively. The Classicverse is RBY -> GSC, the Advancedverse is all the Gen 3-5 games, and the Megaverse is ORAS -> XY -> SM.
I had a long discussion on YouTube with a PokeTuber on his theory video about Looker, he mainly suggested that the Ultra Wormholes can not only move you to another universe, but to another time across universes, he was suggesting that ORAS took place only a couple years before SM, despite Anabel landing in the Megaverse after occupying the spot of the Tower's Frontier Brain in Emerald, ten years prior to SM. His main evidence for this was the lack of growth for Wally, however, Red, Blue, and Grimsley all showed noticeable changes. I told him Wally did get taller but might just have a baby face or an illness preventing healthy growth.
He also thinks that ORAS Looker is DPPl Looker and XY/SM Looker is the Megaverse's correct Looker, and that this could only possibly happen if DPPl Looker was not only transported to another universe, but also another time of another universe, however, I don't think the Ultra Wormholes are necessarily changing the time in which the victim travels to. I came to an alternative conclusion. ORAS Looker is RBY Looker. Yes, Gen 1 had a Looker. And while it's not confirmed, it's heavily implied that this is the case. In the Pokemon Generations shorts, episode 2 features a Looker on the trail of Giovanni taking place during the Kanto timeline in what appears to be the Megaverse, the secret police agent on the S.S. Anne is Looker also on Team Rocket's trail but in the Classicverse.
I proposed to this Pokemon Theorist that ORAS Looker is RBY Looker, and that he fell off the S.S. Anne not long after being talked to in RBY and got sucked into an Ultra Wormhole. The best thing about this theory is that my idea of the Ultra Wormholes only altering space and not time works with this, RBY would take place at the same segment of time as ORAS/RSE/Classicverse's Hoenn. Perhaps the S.S. Anne was passing by Hoenn when the incident happened, so he literally popped out where he was sucked in but in the Megaverse. We do know from the Advancedverse that FRLG and RSE take place alongside each other, we can assume this to be the case for all iterations of universes.
So as I was saying, ORAS is actually RBY Looker, which left the Classicverse without a Looker to continue the pursuit on Team Rocket in GSC. XY/SM Looker are the same Looker, and this one rightfully belongs to the Megaverse. DPPl and Unova Looker are one and the same as well, and are rightfully in the Advancedverse, being the only one of the three Lookers who wasn't somehow influenced by Ultra Beasts, at least up to BW.
So the Classicverse lost their Looker, the Megaverse has their own and Classicverse's Looker, and the Advancedverse's Looker is untouched and rightfully where he belongs.
Here's another important image to bring up when talking about timelines:
This was a confirmed and canon timeline as of XY, there's no reason it can't still be true, you just have to take into consideration the multiverse theory when looking at it, it reads, basically:
Kanto/Hoenn -> Johto/Sinnoh -> Unova1 -> Unova2/Kalos, which I'll add -> Alola to.
This is a generic timeline which all the universes most likely follow to some extent, the reason I say to some extent is because there's a good chance that several regions in the Classicverse, while they do exist, probably do not have as much of a built society as they do in the Advanced or Megaverse, this could also hold true for Kalos in the Advancedverse. Perhaps since AZ never built the ultimate weapon in that one, Kalos got severely damaged from the continuation of the war and Kalos was deemed a total loss. Either the war damaged Kalos beyond recognition, but another theory accepted is that the war never happened for the Advancedverse.
Edits:
So my v1 OP was pretty damn messy, so I'm gonna keep what is shown above and refine everything below this.
So after being convinced by Esserise, I've since adopted the belief that the gap between DPPL -> BW is probably 5 or 6 years, he also helped me confirm that the gap from XY -> SM is indeed 2 years, so now we can piece together as close to a complete timeline as currently possible, as shown below:
Kanto/Hoenn -3 years-> Johto/Sinnoh -5 years-> Unova1 -2 years-> Unova2/Kalos -2 years-> Alola
This means Red and Blue are about 23 in Sun and Moon.
Once again, I must emphasize that there are three universes, assuming all the information gathered to create the first picture in this post, they are as follows:
-The Classicverse
-The Advancedverse
-The Megaverse
The Classicverse is the most technologically primitive, as many things that are commonplace in the Advanced and Megaverses seem brand new, such as Johto Pokemon, breeding, and loads of other technologies. My theory is that Missingno eventually caused the destruction of this universe, which is why it doesn't progress much past the time period that GSC occur, in this specific universe, the timeline is as follows:
RBY -3 years-> GSC
-
The Advancedverse is the most complete telling of the Pokemon story, with all regions (but the new Kalos and Alola regions) being present.
Like the Classicverse, events of RBY and GSC also happen in this universe, in the form of FRLG and HGSS, but with technological advanced happening sooner, connectivity with other regions happening sooner, and no influence by Missingno, the timeline here is as follows:
FRLG/RSE -3 years-> HGSS/DPPl -5 years-> BW -2 years-> BW2
It is unknown if the Kalos and Alola regions exist in this universe, if they do, they're probably not as high tech and not as relevant as they are in the Megaverse. It is confirmed by Zinnia that the Kalos war from 3,000 years prior of XY never happened in this universe, meaning Mega Evolution and Infinity Energy were never created/discovered. It's also worth noting that the Anabel you meet in Sun and Moon is the exact Anabel you can battle in Emerald, where she serves and protects the Battle Tower as its Frontier Brain.

The Megaverse is the current universe being built upon by Gamefreak, but we have no counterpart games to many of the stories told in the Advancedverse, the notable exceptions being ORAS serving as the Megaverse's version of the events of RSE, and Origins sort of standing in as the universe's events from FRLG, with this we can piece together this timeline:
Origins/ORAS -3 years-> Johto/Sinnoh -5 years-> Unova1 -2 years-> Unova2/XY -2 years-> SM
The sections named by regions and not games are the ones we don't have games for yet, or game-based animated adaptations in the case of Origins, however, Pokemon Generations was a series of shorts implied to take place alongside and after Origins, and unlike the actual anime and manga, the events here are damn near exactly like what the events of all the games would look like in the Megaverse, and Generations shows us a lot of behind-the-scenes events that you don't see happen as the player character, such as Red traveling through every known region, including Kalos, confirming that this takes place after Origins and in the Megaverse like Origins. Looker is notably on the trail of Team Rocket through the events of Kanto and Johto, but is coincidentally absent from the Hoenn region entirely, further proving that the Looker from ORAS is a different Looker from XY and SM.
My Looker theory fits this wonderfully, since if Looker was on the trail of Team Rocket in the Megaverse, that secret police agent in RBY could very well be Looker, it all fits together so far.
Classicverse's Looker most likely fell off the S.S. Anne due to interference from an Ultra Beast, causing him to get transported to ORAS from RBY. Origins/ORAS probably take place at the same time since FRLG/RSE do, which means he was transported to the same spot on the timeline, just in a different universe. It's very plausible, and that's why I think ORAS Looker cannot be DPPl/BW's Looker, since all those events happen after the stories of Kanto and Hoenn.
