It depends on your region, but I’ll put down information for Japan and America.

After this point, the release dates for all Pokémon games have been synched in both Japan and America

In your question, you specify where each game’s story fits chronologically. The games are produced and released in a different order from the canonical ingame timeline, which has been confirmed from Game Freak. We know that Kanto and Hoenn games (both the originals and their remakes) take place at roughly the same time, then two or three years later, the Johto and Sinnoh games take place (also at around the same as each other). As far as I know, we have not gotten any confirmation as to when the Kalos or Alola games take place, buthere’sa video (and itssequel) that gives a rather sound guess as to when they might fit on the timeline.
