The Pokémon games are all video games in the Pokémon franchise. All games in the standard style are considered the base, definitive canon for the Pokémon series. All other parts of Pokémon canon, including but not limited to the Pokémon anime, Pokémon manga, Pokémon Trading Card Game, and the Pokémon Trading Figure Game, are derived from the Pokémon world and concepts set forth in the games. There are currently 122 games known.

The games can be grouped into nine generations. The defining point of where a new generation begins is when a new core series Pokémon game is released with a large set of new Pokémon in its Pokédex.

Games are also split between core series games and spin-off games:

  • In most core series games, the player journies through a specific region to catch and raise Pokémon, battle Trainers, fight crime, and earn recognition (usually by collecting Badges from Gym Leaders) until they are acknowledged as the strongest Trainer. Official materials will generally maintain which games are considered part of the core series.
  • Spin-off games give players various options in the way they both obtain and make use of Pokémon.

Additionally, some spin-off games are instead classified as side series games by fans, due to having a strong connection to the core series. Generally speaking, side series games are able to transfer Pokémon to or from the core series, without being part of the core series themselves.

As of March 31, 2023, over 480 million game units have been sold.[1]
