All the Pokémon Games in release order

gamepur.com:

The Pokémon series has a rich history. Starting its legacy back in 1996, the franchise boomed very quickly from its more humble beginnings with a huge swath of merchandise, TV shows, and films. This is not even mentioning the astronomical number of spin-off video games that have the Pokémon name attached. So as you might expect with a series that has its hand in all of the cookie jars, it can be hard to keep up with the main series of games, especially as Nintendo continues to remake and re-releases Pokémon from eras gone by. We hope this ranking of all the mainline Pokémon games in release order will help understand what order to play the games.

This ranking will only include the mainline titles in the series. It would make the list too long if we included everything. Popular spin-off titles like Pokémon GO for mobile, Pokémon Stadium, Mystery Dungeon, Pinball, Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, and more are not ranked. As the franchise’s star continues to rise, so will the amount attached to it.
