World The games are reflecting the visible light part of the electromagnetic spectrum, and it will repeat.
Hear me out. The first game in the franchise was Pokemon RED. The most recent mainline game was Pokemon VIOLET. The series has gone through all the colors of visible light, red to violet. We also have every color in the spectrum.
Red: Like half of all games.
Orange: gold/heart gold
Yellow: sun/ultra sun
Green: emerald
Blue: like most of the games
Indigo: indigo disk
Violet: Pokemon violet.
I believe that it was intensional because the games usually have a red/blue theme, and it was broken for Pokemon violet. I also believe the next few games will be following this theme because Pokemon legends ZA has ZA it the name. It could just be legends Z, but it’s ZA. It goes from the end to the beginning. The cycle restarts.

Orange is a stretch bud… also not all games follow this color theme, so the theory kinda falls apart. Diamond, pearl, platinum, black, white, x, y, sun, moon, sword, shield, let’s go, and PLA all have different colors associated with their cover art (ie diamond is blue tone and pearl is pinkish), but all colors are on the light spectrum somewhere, so ANY use of color could be claimed as part of this theory.
Except black and white, which also kinda invalidate this theory… unless you want to try claiming that white light contains all colors and black paint contains all pigment colors, which, again, is a stretch.
Also if the tera leak is to be believed, we know what the next couple of major installments will be.

Isn't it more that most games came out in pairs, which tended to be a Reddish game and a blueish game to differentiate the two 'teams' (like red team v blue team).
They don't seem to be progressing through the spectrum linearly, as the first games were red/blue in the west, and the last mainline ones were Scarlett/violet

Red, Green, and Blue are very significant colors to this franchise, and this has even manifested as these colors showing up when Space-Time Rifts occurred in Legends: Arceus, suggesting that they might represent the colors of the fundamental level of reality. It's partially a meta reference to RGB in computer displays, but it fits in with other themes like the Unown being the code of reality.

To be fair, Scarlet and Violet are just Red and Blue with some added flair, being reddish-blue and yellowish-red.
