Maybe this will set some strange canon?

The update mentioned repopulating the surface, so many Dragonvale takes place in the sky, and then Dragonvale World happens on this surface, and might take place years after, when it's more settled. Of course because of the surface, not all the dragons end up the same, while a few are unnatural and were brought from the sky, like the Rainbow and Fire Dragons.

This theory can be proven more, because I haven't checked, but someone said they saw Sumi with a "Surface" element, and Sumi appeared both in Dragonvale and Dragonvale World at the same time I believe.
