The Original Story

"In the beginning, there was only a churning turmoil of chaos.
At the heart of chaos, where all things became one, appeared an Egg.
Having tumbled from the vortex, the Egg gave rise to the Original One.
From itself, two beings the Original One did make.
Time started to spin. Space began to expand.
From itself again, three living things the Original One did make.
The two beings wished, and from them, matter came to be.
The three living things wished, and from them, spirit came to be.
The world created, the Original One took to unyielding sleep..."

Begining of the universe
So, an Egg appeard out of the void
And hatched into the Original One, which is, of course, refering to Arceus.
Arceus then created two beings from itself, Dialga and Palkia
Dialga controls and then started time, while Palkia controls and then created Space.

Afterwards, Arceus then created from itself three more beings, Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf. Though all three are said to have hatched from the same egg.


Whereas Dailga and Palkia are in charge of Time and Space, the Lake Trio were created to bring knowledge (Uxie), emotion (Mesprit) and will-power (Azelf) to future generations of Pokémon.

It is interesting to note that Dailga and Palkia's footprints look like crowns. Dialga's looks like a king's crown, Palkia's looks like a queen's, and Giratina's is smaller than that, possibly a prince's, which leads to believe that Dailga and Palkia created Giratina. However, shortly after being created, Giratina disappears into an alternate dimension.



Creation of the Pokémon World
Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf then create Groudon and Kyogre, who are tasked with forming the land and the sea.


As the last line in the Original Story says, Arceus then falls into a deep sleep.

The world being created, Groudon and Kyogre then get into a ferocious battle and nearly destroy all that they have created. Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf intervine and create Rayquaza who banishes Groudon and Kyogre to hidden areas of the Hoenn region. Rayquaza is then tasked to watch over the skies.


Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf then focus back on the world. They create Regigigas who was tasked with moving all the continents that Groundon made into different land masses. One of these collosal movements creates the now Mt. Coronet in the Sinnoh region.



Prehistory
The world then starts new life, with the time now millions of years before Generation l.
The earliest known prehistoric Pokémon exist in this time with this information based primarily on fossils and archaeological remains such as Omanyte, Kabuto, Aerodactyl, Lileep, Anorith, Cranidos, Shieldon as well as their evolutions.


Additionally, Relicanth is also an ancient Pokémon and it can be considered a living fossil since it survived extinction for approximately a hundred million years and can be caught in the wild instead of being revived from a fossil.


About 10,000 years before Generation l, the legendary golems are then created by Regigigas in accordance with the world's different ages-

Stone Age: Regirock

Ice Age: Regice

Iron Age: Registeel

Presumably, after these Ages is when most Pokémon populations start to decline, more notebly Tangrowth, Mamoswine and Yanmega. By having Tangela, Piloswine and Yanma learn the move Ancient Power, they can each evolve to their once "ancient" nature.



1,500 years before Generation l is the earliest known date for the system of writing developed and used at the Ruins of Alph, Tanoby Ruins, and Solaceon Ruins. Archaeologists are currently unsure whether the nearly identical Unown preceded or succeeded the writing system, but it is assumed they share some sort of connection.




Recent History
c. 700 years before Generation l, the Brass and Tin Towers are constructed in Ecruteak City. At this point is when Lugia (Brass) and Ho-Oh (Tin) are perched at each respective tower's top.




c. 150 years before Generation l, the Brass tower burns to the ground, killing three Pokémon that were inside. From this point, it is now known as the Burned Tower. Lugia then flees to the Whirl Islands. It creates the legendary birds and then rests at the bottom of the sea. Ho-Oh resurrects the three fallen Pokémon as the legendary beasts and flies off in search of a pure-hearted Trainer.



Contemporary History
Years prior to Generation l, a hair is found belonging to Mew and Mewtwo is cloned from it.



Generation lll is when Team Magma and Team Aqua release Groudon and Kyogre from their banisment in order to take over the world. The hero is able to calm both legendary creatures though from doing any damage.

^Oaky and I pulled this together using information Pokémon has released. Hopefully Generation IV will add more to it, but most of the current members missed this post by Oaky.^
