The '''eighth generation''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|第八世代|だいはちせだい}}}}''' ''eighth generation'') of Pokémon games is the eighth installment of the Pokémon video game series. The eighth generation began with {{g|Sword and Shield}} and then continued with the [[Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass]] DLC packs. Unlike previous generations, game updates and DLC were used to introduce new content instead of additional games set in the same region. The games of the eighth generation are presented on the [[Nintendo Switch]]. | The '''eighth generation''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|第八世代|だいはちせだい}}}}''' ''eighth generation'') of Pokémon games is the eighth installment of the Pokémon video game series.

The games of the eighth generation are presented on the [[Nintendo Switch]]. Like Generation III and Generation V before it, Generation VIII can be considered something of a "reboot" of the franchise. Released immediately after [[Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee|remakes]] of the Generation I game {{game|Pokémon Yellow}}, Generation VIII is the first generation not to include every previously available Pokémon in its code. It is also the first generation to include paid DLC and to be released entirely on a console system, the [[Nintendo Switch]]. | ||
