Is X a prequel or something? Why isn't it a numbered game? Or is it a different genre? Kinda like gears of war tactics?

Same genre but not the same storyline or universe, sorta like how the Final Fantasy games aren't narratively connected.

Actually you may want to be careful here as all the games may be connected the series hasn't just gotten far enough to elaborate, XBC2 has elements that reference X indicating a possible connection. Takahashi tends to have a large overarching connection with his work and X maybe the part of the whole arch that fills in the gaps of the numbered games in future.
