List of Pokémon video games

Pokémon is a series of role-playing video games developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo and The Pokémon Company. Over the years, a number of spin-off games based on the series have also been developed by multiple companies. While the main series consists of RPGs, spin-off games encompass other genres, such as action role-playing, puzzle, fighting, and digital pet games. Most Pokémon video games have been developed exclusively for Nintendo handhelds, video game consoles, and PCs dating from the Game Boy to the current generation of video game consoles.

The official logo of Pokémon for its international release; "Pokémon" is short for the original Japanese title of "Pocket Monsters".

Mobile apps

Pokédex 3D and Pokédex 3D Pro

Pokédex 3D is an app available for download from the Nintendo eShop. It is a Pokédex, which displays information on Pokémon from Black and White as well as a 3D model. Only a few Pokémon are initially available, and more can be unlocked through means such as SpotPass and StreetPass and AR cards.[69][70]

On April 21, 2012, Nintendo announced that there would be a National Pokédex version called Pokédex 3D Pro. It was released in Japan on the Nintendo eShop on July 14, 2012, and internationally on November 8, 2012. Unlike the original, the Pro edition of the app is not free, and all Pokémon are available from the start rather than unlocking them over time, although some that are not available can be unlocked by entering a special code on the official website. In addition, it has new background music, modes, more scenes and backgrounds and features the voice for the name of every Pokémon. The Pro edition replaced the original free app as it was removed from the eShop on June 17, 2012 in Japan and on October 1, 2012 internationally. An official iOS version was released on November 15, 2012 but was delisted on November 30, 2015.

Pokémon Bank

Pokémon Bank is a mobile application available on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo 3DS. It was released in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan on December 25, 2013, Hong Kong on January 22, 2014, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand on February 4, 2014, and in North and South America on February 5, 2014. It is an online storage system which allows players to store up to 3000 Pokémon and access requires a stable internet connection. The app is free to download, but requires an annual fee in order to access the servers. Bank is compatible with Pokémon X, Y, Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire, Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon and the game's Pokémon Storage System. Pokémon holding items and a cosplay variant of Pikachu cannot be stored.[71] The additional app Poké Transporter allows players to transfer Pokémon from Pokémon Black, White, Black 2 and White 2 and the Virtual Console releases of Red, Blue, and Yellow. Pokémon Bank was later updated to add Poké Transporter capabilities for Gold, Silver, and Crystal as well.[72]

Pokémon Go

The augmented reality mobile game Pokémon Go was released in July 2016 on both Android and iOS platforms. It utilizes internal GPS tracking system in order to find and catch Pokémon in real-time. The system places gyms and Pokéstops in predetermined locations (such as landmarks) throughout the world in order to get the player active and become a Pokémon trainer in real life. The Pokémon themselves spawn randomly, with some conditions; nocturnal Pokémon have a higher chance to spawn at night, and water type pokémon may spawn close to water. Gyms are used to battle and train Pokémon against other players in the area, and nearby PokéStops give free items when spun (they have a 5-minute cooldown per use). It originally featured the 151 original Generation 1 Pokémon. In February 2017, generation 2 Pokémon were added excluding the legendaries such as Suicune, Raikou, Entei, Celebi, Lugia, and Ho-Oh. In July 2017, the legendary Pokémon were released. Niantic has since added the regions of Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh and Unova into Pokémon Go. While the title is free-to-play, it also implements microtransactions, allowing players to spend real currency to gain access to more items in game. The game was met with mixed responses when released. In September 2016, Niantic released the Pokémon Go Plus, a $35 wearable, which issues alerts about any events in the game, including the appearance of a Pokémon or nearby PokéStop.[73]

Pokémon Duel

On January 24, 2017, Pokémon Duel, a competitive digital board game was released on the App Store and Google Play.[74] Pokémon Duel, formerly known as Pokémon Co-master, was co-developed with Heroz Japan, a company that specializes in artificial intelligence.[75] Based on the Pokémon Trading Figure board game, players can move Pokémon pieces around a virtual playing field. Upon reaching an opponent's Pokémon, the two may engage in battle. The strategy game lets one play single-player against the computer or compete with other players online.[76]

Pokémon Playhouse

In 2017, Nintendo, together with the Pokémon Company, announced the creation of a mobile app targeted at preschool aged children called Pokémon Playhouse.[77][78]

Pokémon Masters Ex

On August 29, 2019, Pokémon Masters, a 3-on-3 battle game was released on the App Store and Google Play. Pokémon Masters was developed by DeNA. The game can be downloaded from the Pokémon Masters official website Originally named Pokémon Masters, it was renamed Pokémon Masters Ex in August 2020 on the 1st anniversary of the game.[79][80]

Camp Pokémon

Camp Pokémon, known as Pokémon Camp in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, is a free app provided by The Pokémon Company International for Android and iOS. It is intended to teach younger children the basics of Pokémon through interactive and fun games. It was first accessible to iOS users on October 21, 2014, and was released for Android devices on April 14, 2016.

Pokémon Home

In June 2019, The Pokémon Company announced a new cloud service for storing Pokémon, intended to replace Pokémon Bank. It was later revealed the service would be called Pokémon Home and was released for Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android. Home would be available in two tiers, a paid premium subscription and a free tier with less storage and a limited feature set. A subscription to Nintendo Switch Online would not be required to use Pokémon Home. It was released in February 2020. The service is primarily aimed toward Pokémon Sword and Shield and Pokémon can be transferred between them and the service at will. Pokémon contained in Pokémon Bank can be transferred to Home but would be a one-way transfer and cannot be transferred back to the aforementioned titles. The same can be said about Pokémon transferred from the Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! titles, except this one way transfer system only applies after you transfer a Pokémon into Pokémon Home, then into Pokémon Sword and Shield. On November 11, 2020, Niantic released an update for Pokémon Go that allows the unidirectional transfer of Pokémon to Pokémon Home.[81][82][83]

Pokémon Smile

Pokémon Smile is a free app for Android and iOS devices. The game uses the device's camera to play the game. By brushing your teeth, Pokémon are rescued from bacteria. The game intends to help kids brush their teeth with fun games. The game was announced during a Pokémon Presents presentation on June 17, 2020 and was made available later the same day.[84]
