Generation VII: Difference between revisions

'''Generation VII''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|世代|いちせだい}}ＶＩＩ}}''' ''Generation VII'') is the seventh generation of [[Pokémon]] {{pkmn|games}}. This generation began with {{g|Sun and Moon}}, proceeded with their upper versions, {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, and finished with [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], which are [[remake]]s of {{game|Yellow}}. Unlike previous generations, the core series games of the seventh generation were released on two different Nintendo platforms, with the first two pairs of games released for the Nintendo 3DS and the Yellow remakes released for the Nintendo Switch. It is the last generation released on the 3DS and the first one on the Switch. It was not given an official name until after the release of the cast commentary for the ''[[Detective Pikachu (movie)|Detective Pikachu]]'' film where the Roman-numeral form was officially given by the subtitles.
