The Pokémon gaming franchise has been around for over 25 years now with countless games released on multiple Nintendo consoles and handhelds. With so many titles, it can be confusing for newcomers to understand the timeline and chronological order.
- The earliest Pokémon games are Red, Blue and Yellow which were released on the original Game Boy in 1996. These games are set in the Kanto region.
- Then came Gold and Silver on the Game Boy Color set in Johto in 1999. Further gens include Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, Diamond/Pearl/Platinum and so on for each new region.
- Some later games are remakes of older titles with improved graphics like FireRed/LeafGreen and HeartGold/SoulSilver.
- Newer Switch games like Sword/Shield let you catch Pokémon like Larvesta which was also featured in a rare hatching event in Pokemon GO.
Conclusion
Starting with the oldest Game Boy titles and moving chronologically through each generation is the best way to experience the Pokémon storylines in order. While not essential, it helps provide context and build up new Pokémon gradually. Revisits to older regions are always exciting with remakes.
