The Pokémon franchise has many games. All games in the standard style are considered to be the base, definitive canon for the core 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 66 games known, across multiple platforms such as Nintendo consoles, Android, iOS, Microsoft Windows, and even at one point a dedicated cartridge-based handheld device, the Pokémon mini.

The games are split into a certain number generations. As of now, there are nine generations in the game, the last one being held in the Paldea region. The defining point of where new generations begin is when a new standard Pokémon game with a set of new Pokémon added to the Pokédex is released. Games are also split between main series games and spin-off games. In most games, the player can choose one out of the three starter Pokémon to start their journey with. Spin-off games give players various options in the way they both obtain and make use of Pokémon. There are many Pokémon games.

The main Pokémon games are where you are in one of the many regions. These regions go from Kanto in Red/Blue to Paldea in Scarlet/Violet. All players start off by picking one of three first partner Pokémon, which will be of the Fire-type, Water-type, or Grass-type (with two exceptions), and it joins the player on their journey and evolve as they are leveled up, through battling and relationship. Throughout the journey, players gather eight Gym Badges and explore the region to go to the final Championship battles and earn the title of the new Champion/Pokémon Master.
