The games are the modern-day Pokémon franchise's first line of merchandise, and have some prevalence throughout other franchises, at least in the understanding that it introduces most new Pokémon that are used in other facets of the franchise with each new generation. However, the game's established canon has been known to variate throughout the other facets of the Pokémon franchise, with some depictions being truer to the game's depiction than others. The games are very popular, and, in the case of the series often thought as the 'main' series, usually released in pairs, unless the game is a third version. Along with the 'main' series are side series, such as the Pokémon Ranger series.
The books
The books are chiefly made as novelizations, chronicles, and guides for the anime series and its movies, but there have been the occasions where the plots of some books are merely based on the anime, with original stories. Other Pokémon books include puzzle books, sticker books, and drawing books.
