Main Alternate Continuity Discussion
- And of course, the Queen of the Continuities - Sailor Moon! With a manga series (that isn't compatible with it's prequel Sailor V in some ways but the two are still considered to exist in the same canon) a 200-episode anime series (a five-season epic that isn't fully compatible with itself), a live-action series, three animated movies (which aren't fully compatible with either anime or manga), and twenty-five stage productions, all of which are different! That makes thirty-one separate continuities! And that's not counting the video-games! So if someone wants to debate Sailor Moon "canon" with you, laugh at them.
- Well 3 of the musical are in the same continuity. And a forth that's in continuity with one of those but not the other two....
Regarding the Pokemon entry, here is a perfect puzzle for you: Are Kris
and Lyra the same person? Pokemon Special says yes. The Anime says no. And the Slapstick magna doesn't have to deal with this question since it never had a Kris analogue in the first place!

I'm not sure about the exact difference between this trope and Alternate Universe; and unfortunately, Trope Distinctions lacks an entry comparing them - though there is one comparing Alternate Continuity with a few other tropes. Can someone enlighten me where one stops and the other begins?
