It's a prequel. Not a sequel. Both below screenshots are mine.


The top one is from xxproclassgamerxx. I skipped to the end because I was curious as to what the date on the check was. The check says -

142
Date - 11-12-1987
Pay to the order of - Jeremy Fitzgerald $100.50
One hundred dollars and 50/100 dollars
Memo - Welcome to the family! Fazbear Entertainment

Look. At. The. DATE.
1987
The check from the first game says -

0123
Date - 11-13-xx
Pay to the order of - Mike Schmidt $120.00
One hundred and twenty dollars dollars
Memo - Valued employee Fazbear Entertainment

The year is crossed out yes, but Phone Guy talks about the Bite of 1987, so we know it's after 1987. Possibly into the 2000's. But the date on the check from the second game is hands down proof that FNaF 2 is a prequel, not a sequel.

but how did the place get revamped, if its a prequel? And ALSO, the old animatronics still exist, and there are new ones. IT HAS GONE THROUGH A CHANGE. It can't be a prequel.

It's true I tell you!
I forget what exactly it said, but the Night 6 call in FNaF 2 says something along the lines of

Why are you still here? The place was shut down, but it's safer to finish your shift than try to leave in the middle of the night. Someone stole a spare suit from the back, a yellow one. There's one more event tomorrow, a birthday party. You'll have the day shift, wear your uniform. Your job will be to monitor the animatronics to be sure they don't harm anyone. I'll likely take a night shift after that myself.

We know that Phone Guy did in fact take the night shift as he was in the office before Mike, but if it's a sequel, explain to me how Phone Guy is even alive in FNAF 2. He was killed on Night 4. Speaking of Phone Guy, on Night 1 he mentions that you are the first night shift.
Also who said they were the old animatronics? My dad thinks there are three generations of animatronics -
The withered/'old' animatronics trying to kill you in FNAF 2.
The shiny vintage china doll animatronics also in FNAF 2.
The 'original' animatronics from FNAF.

And my own opinion -
If FNAF is the first one, then explain to me why the animatronics look more modern than the ones in the second game. I've also found this -

ROBOTS SCRAPPED
Freddy Fazbear's is Closing
After being open only a few short weeks, Freddy Fazbear's Pizza is closing it's doors.

The new animatronics will be scrapped due to possible malfunctions, however the original characters are being kept in hopes of possible reorganization of the company.

"It's a minor setback. We are confident that we will reopen someday, even if it's with a much smaller budget." - CEO Fazbear Ent.

We know that the pizzeria has been threatened with shut down before, and here we know for a fact it has been shut down. And if it takes place in 1987, then how does Phone Guy from the first game know about the Bite, if FNAF was in fact earlier than FNAF 2?

whats a prequel?

[KittyWarrior]

Thanks

whats a prequel?

a story or movie containing events that precede those of an existing work.

In other words, it's when a game was made after another, but takes place before said first game.
I'm trying to think of a good example but none leaps to mind ironically X3

Can you un-foe me? :3 It was over a trade when I was a newbie and I hate having foes

Okay.

That explains a lot actually. It does make sense that it would be a prequel and it explains why the withered FNaF characters have slightly different features than in the first game and why the phone guy is still alive. But one thing, why is there a Foxy the pirate when there isn't even a pirate cove? That's one thing I still don't understand.

[corrosive_limes]

I dont know exactly. Maybe Foxy was originally in the Kids Cove but was replaced with the Mangle, and it was only recently it became Pirate Cove?

[~HєуRєι~]

hmmmmmm maybe...

[corrosive_limes]

IDK it's just a theory.

Im actually dying for a third game now, like its set in the future or something ovo
