I think there's evidence to support A Single Pale Rose taking place before The Answer. In The Answer, Pearl has the same regeneration as in Your Mother and Mine, where we see Rose Quartz protecting the other Crystal Gems against the Corruption Light (which was after the Rebellion). However, in A Single Pale Rose she has a different regeneration. This means she most likely regenerated into that form before meeting Garnet. It might also explain why Pink Diamond isn't mentioned in that episode. But it creates another problem since Bismuth made Rose's sword and Garnet knew Bismuth, yet she isn't around in The Answer. Am I right or not, and if not, can somebody clear this up for me? Is it a retcon, or did Pearl shapeshift into her outfit from The Answer when fighting for the Crystal Gems?
