Correct. I would place both in December 2015.

You all know that even if Home Alone was somehow part of the universe Pokemon would not be, right?

Neither Home Alone nor Pokemon are canon here, no.

I'm telling you dude, he regenerated. It's in the movie. I'm not saying he's Wolverine, I'm taking the movie at face value because it's way funnier that way. Also, :'DRYVRS canonizes super powers.

In the Pokemon universes the pokemon exist since the beginning of time, and are present everywhere and are a normal part of the universe as animals are in the real world. Clearly the Home Alone universe is a world where pokemon don't exist, otherwise we would have seen one already.

It is possible that the in-universe film that makes the connection exist in both universe, though, since we only see like 3 scenes of the in-universe series in the movies, and the characters are indoors, so it is possible for them to have been made in both a "Pokemon" and "Pokemon-less" world.

Alternatively, perhaps the very fact that characters survive what would be fatal injuries in the Home Alone films helps the Pokemon link, as the same applies to that series. Ignoring that, which I generally do, the lack of a reference to something is not an example of a contradiction.

It's completely possible that Pokemon do exist in the Home Alone universe and we just never see them because films show you an extremely compromised version of events where a few days are crunched into an hour or two. Characters don't just stop existing between time jumps and we have no idea what might be happening elsewhere during a film. I'm not suggesting we argue that things exist with no evidence, but when evidence suddenly exists, we can't use the lack of a reference previously to dispute it.

I would take it that, if we were to seriously acknowledge the connection, only Detective Pikachu would have any relevance. Not all of Pokemon canon, because that'd be crazy.
