Company">The Pokémon Company</a> under the <a href="/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon" title="Pokémon">Pokémon</a> franchise. It was created by Satoshi Tajiri with assistance from Ken Sugimori. The first games, Pocket Monsters Red and Green, were released in 1996 in Japan for the <a href="/wiki/Game_Boy" title="Game Boy">Game Boy</a>, later released outside of Japan as <a href="/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Red_and_Blue" class="mw-redirect" title="Pokémon Red and Blue">Pokémon Red Version and Blue Version</a>. The main series of <a href="/wiki/Role-playing_video_game" title="Role-playing video game">role-playing video games</a> (RPGs), referred as the "core series" by their developers,<a href="#cite_note-2">[1]</a><a href="#cite_note-3">[2]</a><a href="#cite_note-4">[3]</a> has continued on each generation of Nintendo's handhelds. The most recently released core series games, <a href="/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Scarlet_and_Violet" title="Pokémon Scarlet and Violet">Pokémon Scarlet and Violet</a>, were released on November 18, 2022, for the <a href="/wiki/Nintendo_Switch" title="Nintendo Switch">Nintendo Switch</a>. In addition to Game Freak's development, <a href="/wiki/Creatures_(company)" class="mw-redirect" title="Creatures (company)">Creatures</a> provides support through their Pokémon CG Studio, which creates 3D models for the Pokémon in the games, and also develops some spin-off titles. In 1998, Nintendo, Creatures, and Game Freak jointly established The Pokémon Company, which manages licensing, production, publishing, marketing and deals for the franchise both within Asia and worldwide through The Pokémon Company International.<a href="#cite_note-5">[4]</a><a href="#cite_note-6">[5]</a><a href="#cite_note-7">[6]</a> The core games are released in generations, each with different Pokémon, storylines, and characters. <a href="/wiki/Video_game_remake" title="Video game remake">Remakes</a> of the games are usually released around a decade after the original versions for the latest console at the time. While the main series consists of RPGs developed by Game Freak, many spin-off games based on the series have been developed by various companies, encompassing other genres such as <a href="/wiki/Action_role-playing_game" title="Action role-playing game">action role-playing</a>, <a href="/wiki/Puzzle_video_game" title="Puzzle video game">puzzle</a>, <a href="/wiki/Fighting_game" title="Fighting game">fighting</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Digital_pet" class="mw-redirect" title="Digital pet">digital pet</a> games.

Players have the option to choose one of three different types of Pokémon.<a href="#cite_note-spy2-11">[10]</a> Many games include a rival character who acts as a roadblock or boss opponent throughout the game.<a href="#cite_note-:12-12">[11]</a> A major subplot of most games is to defeat a criminal organization, whose intents are usually trying to take over the world through the misuse of powerful Pokémon known as Legendary Pokémon.<a href="#cite_note-13">[12]</a> Battles between Pokémon are the central game mechanic of the Pokémon games. Within the game, they are used to train Pokémon to gain experience and become stronger and to progress through the game's story.<a href="#cite_note-millenial-14">[13]</a> Battles can also be done between players by connecting two game systems. Pokémon uses a <a href="/wiki/Turn-based" class="mw-redirect" title="Turn-based">turn-based system</a>. The player may carry between one and six Pokémon in their active party; the first Pokémon in the lineup is automatically sent into battle when one begins. At the start of each turn, both sides may use a <a href="/wiki/Gameplay_of_Pok%C3%A9mon#Pokémon_moves" class="mw-redirect" title="Gameplay of Pokémon">move</a>, use an <a href="/wiki/Gameplay_of_Pok%C3%A9mon#Items" class="mw-redirect" title="Gameplay of Pokémon">item</a>, switch their active Pokémon out for another in their party, or attempt to flee from battle if against a wild Pokémon. Each Pokémon uses attacks to reduce their opponent's <a href="/wiki/Hit_Points" class="mw-redirect" title="Hit Points">Hit Points</a> (HP) to zero, at which point the Pokémon faints and is unable to battle. Pokémon also have in-battle "abilities," which give them different attributes in battle.<a href="#cite_note-15">[14]</a> When an opponent's Pokémon faints, the player's Pokémon receives <a href="/wiki/Experience_point" title="Experience point">experience points</a>; when a Pokémon accumulates enough, then its level increases.<a href="#cite_note-16">[15]</a> If the player's Pokémon faints, they may select another Pokémon from their active party to battle; in battles against wild Pokémon, the player may attempt to flee instead. If all of a player's Pokémon faint, the player loses the battle. This causes the player to lose some money and return to the last Pokémon Center they visited.<figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Pokemon_Type_Chart.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/97/Pokemon_Type_Chart.svg/330px-Pokemon_Type_Chart.svg.png" decoding="async" width="330" height="330" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/97/Pokemon_Type_Chart.svg/495px-Pokemon_Type_Chart.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/97/Pokemon_Type_Chart.svg/660px-Pokemon_Type_Chart.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="492" data-file-height="492" /></a><figcaption>Chart of the eighteen Pokémon types and their strengths (2, in green), weaknesses (½, in red), and immunities (0, in black)<a href="#cite_note-Pokémon_Sword_and_Shield_type_strength_and_weakness_chart-17">[16]</a></figcaption></figure>A Pokémon's type is an elemental attribute determining the strengths and weaknesses of each Pokémon and its moves.

This changes their form and appearance and causes them to grow stronger.<a href="#cite_note-21">[20]</a> Players have the ability to trade their Pokémon with one another by connecting two compatible games.<a href="#cite_note-:0-22">[21]</a> Because of the Pokémon series revolving around catching as many Pokémon as possible, trading is considered an important aspect of Pokémon.<a href="#cite_note-23">[22]</a> Certain Pokémon are only able to <a href="/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_evolution" class="mw-redirect" title="Pokémon evolution">evolve</a> by trading as well.<a href="#cite_note-24">[23]</a> Players also may encounter alternately colored Pokémon known as "Shiny Pokémon," which are significantly rarer than a standard Pokémon.<a href="#cite_note-25">[24]</a> Various facilities can be found throughout the Pokémon world such as Pokémon Centers, Poké Marts, and Pokémon Gyms. At a Pokémon Center, the player can have their Pokémon healed for free and access the PC, where players can organize their collection of Pokémon and store and withdraw items. Poké Marts are shops where players can buy items with the money they win during battles; certain cities may have specialized shops, like a pharmacy or a department store. Periodically, a town will contain a Pokémon Gym, which houses a powerful Trainer known as a <a href="/wiki/List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_characters#Gym_Leaders" title="List of Pokémon characters">Gym Leader</a> that functions as a <a href="/wiki/Boss_(video_games)" title="Boss (video games)">boss</a>. Victory against them grants the player a Gym Badge; after collecting eight Gym Badges, the player may challenge the region's <a href="/wiki/List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_characters#Gym_leaders_and_Elite_Four" title="List of Pokémon characters">Elite Four</a> and Champion (in <a href="/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Sword_and_Shield" title="Pokémon Sword and Shield">Pokémon Sword and Shield</a>, the Elite Four is replaced by the Champion Cup, a <a href="/wiki/Single-elimination_tournament" title="Single-elimination tournament">single-elimination tournament</a> that determines who gets the right to challenge the Champion). Gyms are absent in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, being replaced by trials that serve a similar purpose. Many games also have facilities dedicated to battling, such as the Battle Frontier, Battle Tower, and Battle Maison, that unlock after the game is beaten. Afterward, the game remains virtually open-ended, with the ultimate goal of the player being to obtain at least one member of each of the different species of Pokémon, thus completing a fictional encyclopedia of all Pokémon species known as a <a href="/wiki/Pok%C3%A9dex" class="mw-redirect" title="Pokédex">Pokédex</a>. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2

divided roughly by generation. These generations are roughly <a href="/wiki/Chronology" title="Chronology">chronological</a> divisions by release; when an official sequel in the main role-playing game series is released that features new Pokémon, characters, and possibly new gameplay concepts, that sequel is considered the start of a new generation of the franchise. The main games and their spin-offs, the anime, manga, and trading card game are all updated with the new Pokémon properties each time a new generation begins.

It also features a more visually detailed environment compared to previous games, "natures" which affect Pokémon stats, a new 2-on-2 Pokémon battling mechanic, a special ability system applying to each Pokémon in battle, the <a href="/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Contest" class="mw-redirect" title="Pokémon Contest">Pokémon Contest</a> sub-game, the new region of <a href="/wiki/Hoenn" class="mw-redirect" title="Hoenn">Hoenn</a>, the ability to select the protagonist's gender and Secret Bases: customizable "rooms" where the player can display items they have collected in-game and battle against real friends. Secret Bases can be found in bushes, trees, or small cave openings in landscapes by using the Pokémon move, Secret Power, which can be taught to virtually all Pokémon. However, this generation also garnered some criticism for leaving out several gameplay features, including the day-and-night system introduced in the previous generation (which was removed due to internal-battery save problems), and it was also the first installment that encouraged the player to collect merely a selected assortment of the total number of Pokémon rather than every existing species (202 out of 386 species are catchable in the Ruby and Sapphire versions).

They have released on the <a href="/wiki/Nintendo_DS" title="Nintendo DS">Nintendo DS</a>, the same console as its predecessing generation. The games take place in the Unova region. New features include the C-Gear, a feature where players can use Wi-Fi options and customizations; two new battle methods ("Triple Battles", where three Pokémon are sent out at once, and Rotation Battles, where three Pokémon are also sent out at the same time, but the trainer can switch one Pokémon out of the three that are present); "Battle Tests", where trainers battle each other to see who has stronger Pokémon; the Pokémon Musicals (similar to Pokémon Contests), which have trainers use their Pokémon to dance in a theater with other Pokémon; and the ability to not waste Technical Machines (TMs), also when found the first time.
