Pokemon Generations
Enhanced Versions and Remakes
Is it true there are five generations (creations) of Pokemon video game fun?
You heard right. Pokemon is a series of games. Each generation introduces new Pocket Monsters. A generation features new challenges and gaming technology.
Game Freak and Nintendo develop the original games. Their remade and enhanced games include new characters, character moves, abilities, contests, and hardware like Game Boy, Nintendo DS, Wii, e-readers, wireless, etc.
