The tenth generation of Pokémon games is the tenth installment of the Pokémon video game series starting with Pokémon Topaz and Amethyst, continuing with the Pokémon Topaz Dream Expansion and the Amethyst Dream Expansion, Pokémon Legends: The Darkest Day, Pokémon Infernal Black and Eternal White, and concluding with Pokémon Black 3 and White 3. This is the first generation to be released entirely on the Nintendo Switch Turbo.

Advances in gameplay

• Pokémon Topaz and Amethyst are open-world games in which areas are seamlessly connected. The areas in the game can be visited in any order.
• Pokémon Topaz and Amethyst feature multiplayer with up to four players simultaneously via the Union Outplay, enabling trading and battling between players as well as allowing them to travel through the game's areas and hold refresh outings together.
• The addition of 135 new Pokémon, bringing the total to 1169.
  • The introduction of ecologically similar Pokémon similar to Zubat, Golbat, and Crobat.
• A new region to explore, the Oshin region, based on Australia.
• A new villainous team, Team Chill.
• The introduction of the regional forms for Paras, Yungoos, and Gumshoos.
• A new battle mechanic, Dreamscape, which recolors the Pokémon in an animated rainbow pattern and nullifies the damage taken from regular opponents. Rainbowscape expands on this mechanic by also changing a Pokémon's form and turning certain moves into R-Scape Moves; however, holding a Mega Stone makes its corresponding Pokémon unable to Dreamscape.
• The introduction of Poké Boot Camp, a system that allows players to exchange special Talismans to maximize Pokémon's EVs up to the maximum number of 1530.

Alterations from the ninth generation

• The abandonment of the following elements:
  • Terastallization
  • Ball Capsules
  • Union Room
• The Academy Ace Tournament is replaced by the Oshinian Outback Tournament.
• Picnics are replaced by refresh outings.
  • Sandwiches are replaced by Poké Cookies, which behave similarly to Poké Puffs and Poké Beans.
• The Union Circle is replaced by the Union Outplay.
• Tera Raid Battles are replaced by Scape Raid Battles.
• Male Gothorita's alternate method of evolution has been changed; it now evolves into Gothoko when leveled up starting at level 41 while holding a Warrior's Flute.
