This is a basic history of the pokegirl world. It hasn't been updated in quite a while, but that's because this is a bare bones look at how things looked during the first year of development for the pokegirl world.
You may notice that some years have two or more entries. This is largely because it was slapped together by Metroanime with input from multiple authors.
You probably will never see any drastic change in this particular file.
1988 AD: Jim Sukotto Sukebe develops several new types of technology.
1990 AD: Reporter Linda McKenzie breaks the news about the "Frankenstein Scientist."
1991 AD: Odd reports of humanoid monsters appearing in remote areas hit the tabloids.
1992 AD: Sukebe's War begins at the US/Canada border. Typhonna is unleashed in Northern Africa.
1993 AD: The news of an epidemic occurring in lands far from the battles is at first thought to be completely unrelated. The "Bloody Flu" isn't particularly fatal, but spreads very quickly and causes quite a mess.
1994 AD: Nuclear weapons have proven ineffective against Typhonna. The other Legendary pokegirls aren't as obvious as targets go, and therefore can flit in and out of various territorial spaces. Most avoid targetting population centers and instead bring international commerce and trade to a halt by hitting supply lines and disrupting communications.
1995 AD: The full extent of the Bloody Flu was determined. Sterility affects most of the women who had become infected. Outcry against the sciences by the common people begins to swell.
1996 AD: A Canadian soldier named Icarod Mathers discovers that a Growlie he rescued from a bear trap has switched sides and is now *very* affectionate and loyal to him. This discovery leads to more of the Canadians experimenting and discovering that *some* of the attacking "monsters" could be turned against their brethren and become loyal if awfully lusty companions.
1997 AD: With the use of Taming techniques available, the tide begins turning as loyal pokegirls fight in defense of their adoptive homes against the attackers. It is also discovered that pokegirls are interfertile with humans and can produce human children or pokegirls of the mother's type or both.
1998: The warship Langoud begins construction in an effort to combat the Legendary Pokegirls.
1999 AD: The Legendary pokegirl Typhonna vanishes abruptly. An Amazonchan named Cologne makes a deal for her people with the beginnings of the World Council, establishing an Amazonchan village and the rules for Tamers to challenge.
2000 AD: Yukii of the Icemaidens makes a deal to establish a territory for her kind much in the matter of Cologne's Joketsuzoku. An attempt by the Chinese to unleash a disease (Monster Flu) that would kill off the pokegirls gives most breeds flu-like symptoms for two days. This is nonetheless reported as a success as the weakened pokegirls are easier to catch and kill and one breed (Sphinx) is almost completely wiped out by the disease.
2001 AD: Most of the major international lines of trade, government, and institutions have fallen by this point into chaos and regional governments. The World Council (originally a UN group researching the pokegirls and advising on means for their containment or elimination) becomes the League.
2002 AD/0 AS: Sukebe dies as his lair is finally found, he is flushed into the open, and missiles reduce his last laboratory and lair to a smouldering crater.
2004 AD/2 AS: The Monster Flu unleashed by the Chinese mutates into an airborne contagion that affects humans. Now deemed the Red Plague, it boasted a 92% fatality rate.

2007 AD/5 AS: Red Plague burns itself out.
2007/5 AS: Warship Langoud successfully kills two Legendary Pokegirls, Titania the Stone Titan and Scylla the Water Fiend. Flying Citadel Vale appears over Crimson League territory.

2012 AD/10 AS: First pokecenters are developed due to continued attacks on towns and villages by feral pokegirls.
2017 AD/15 AS: Attempts to understand and replicate the pokegirl developments produce the first Nurse Joy.
2020 AD/18 AS: First League pokeballs are developed from copying Sukebe's originals.
2022 AD/20 AS: Australia, known as the Orange continent due to the color coding of the League's new system, becomes the Orange Islands. Information suggests that an evolution experiment involving an Eva was responsible.
2024 AD/22 AS: Attempts at further refinement of the pokegirl creation process develop the first Officer Jenny.
2025 AD/23 AS: Poke-engineers develop the first Maid Yvette series. This proves less popular or necessary than either the Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy varieties, and is discontinued. A small number continue to breed.
2035 AD/33 AS: The development of the first Goth at the Indigo Research Center, marking the first post-Sukebe creation of a pokegirl with advanced abilities. The research center is soon shut down as their original authority was overstepped by this development.
2045 AD/43 AS: First incident of a Widow occurs in the Crescent League. First adoption of pokegirl pets into the public.

The Widow itself is found in the main square, having laid 100 eggs and then expired from her own poisons. Examination reveals that each of those eggs would have hatched another Widow.
101 AS: Warship Langoud is official downgraded to a cruise ship/ranch.
117 AS: First recorded incidence of a human male turned into a pokegirl through exposure to Jusenkyo. Research into Jusenkyo is halted at this point. Oddly enough, some Tamers bring their pokegirls here to strengthen them despite the danger.

212 AS: A newswriter investigating the death of Archeon Dahl discovers evidence in the police reports that the barriers around Dahl's house were bypassed by electronic devices. In the wake of this revelation, that Dahl was actually murdered, the pokegirl rights movement begins to develop anew.
