+A '''generation''', in terms of the [[Pokémon]] video game franchise, is a grouping of games that debuted at or around the same time.  Furthermore, these games must be compatible with the other games of the generation, allowing the same number of species of Pokémon to be captured.

 Currently, there are four Generations of Pokémon games.
