Once upon a time...
you know what? Never mind.
You can keep your 'once upon a time's.
Your 'long ago's are clichés as well.
What this needs is an 'in the beginning'.
.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,
In the beginning, there was nothing.
For humans, they have their own explanations and beliefs on how existence started.
But this isn't about humans.
This is about games.
You've read this right. This is about the creation of universes whose existence centers around games. This is all about those time-traveling heroes, those inter-galactic protectors, those weird-ish alien creatures, and those animals to the literal but not the figurative.
Anyone who doesn't like long and boring ( it might be boring) explanations, please wait until entry 0-0-2 is out.
Anyone who does, read on.
In the beginning, there was a human. This human was the inventor of the first videogame. (And no, the game wasn't Pong. That came later.)
This man was a genius. Not just a genius; he was a starter of worlds. When he put the two pieces of the video game together, he made sparks.
And sparks make bangs.
And in this case, it was a big bang.
His making the first digital game was the birth of a digital universe. And not just one. When he did this, he big-banged all of them. The creators of those games are still the creators, yet when it came to the worlds, they made the timeline happen, not the bangs.
In time, these would soon grow and develop into the games you know and love.
However!
Not all games have universes, and some work differently.
First of all, many crossovers have no universe. If crossovers do have a universe, then it'll only have the characters made explicitly for the crossover. Other characters appearing in the crossover are other-dimensional versions of their canon counterparts.
Remember that up there. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Secondly, if games are within a series and completely canon towards each other, they are in the same universe and canon timeline.
Third of all, games that have things based off them have their dimensions.
Fourthly, games based off things exist as well, but only what has appeared and is canon in-game.
Fifth of all, all animes and mangas somehow have dimensions too. No one knows why, and no one can explain it well. I have literally zero knowledge on anime dimensions origins.
Sixth, some games are grouped into dimensional groups. A good example of this is Lego Dimensions.
What else, what else...
Oh yeah, one more rule.
The reason that games are in different dimensions is because they have 'physics' and 'concepts', and some concepts don't mingle well.
Although, there are some ways to still travel between dimensions.
That's all. Time to make entry 0-0-2.
