'''Generation IV''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|世代|いちせだい}}ＩＶ}}''' ''Generation IV'') of Pokémon games is the fourth generation of Pokémon games. It was not given an official name until after the release of the cast commentary for the ''[[Detective Pikachu (movie)|Detective Pikachu]]'' film where the Roman-numeral form was officially given by the subtitles. | |||
Like [[Generation II]] followed from [[Generation I]], Generation IV follows from [[Generation III]], although it is unlike Generation II in that it is not a direct sequel ([[Hoenn]] is inaccessible in all Generation IV games). Like previous generations, Generation IV focuses on one main region across three games, the [[Sinnoh]] region featured in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} on the [[Nintendo DS]], released in 2006 and 2008 (and 2007 and 2009 outside Japan). Also like Generation II, the Generation IV games retain much compatibility with their Generation III counterparts, though in a different manner, and introduce many new Pokémon which are related to those of the previous three generations. | Like [[Generation II]] followed from [[Generation I]], Generation IV follows from [[Generation III]], although it is unlike Generation II in that it is not a direct sequel ([[Hoenn]] is inaccessible in all Generation IV games).

Much like Generation III remade the Generation I games, the Generation II games also received much anticipated remakes in the form of {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, and through details revealed in the five main games, Generation IV is thus known to be contemporaneous with Generation II, occurring three years after Generation I and Generation III. Like all generations, the handheld games are joined by home console games; [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] and [[My Pokémon Ranch]] were released for the [[Wii]] during this generation. | Much like Generation III remade the Generation I games, the Generation II games also received much anticipated remakes in the form of {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, and through details revealed in the five main games, Generation IV is thus known to be contemporaneous with Generation II, occurring three years after Generation I and Generation III.
