Pokémon Land and Sea

Pokémon Land and Sea are two pairs of role-playing games that are part of the popular Pokémon franchise, being developed by Game Freak and released in the Nintendo Switch in 2025, serving as the Gen X games, an expansion of the game, Pokémon Air, was released next year.
The games received mostly positive reception from critics, praising that it had more effort put in than previous games but also mentioning that the idea of making a Pokémon game take place in an Arab country could be seen as something controversial.
== Gameplay ==
The game takes place in the Liyanara region, based mostly on Libya with elements from other countries like Morocco and Egypt, where, unlike Pokémon Sword and Shield and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, every previous Pokémon creature returns.
The player can play as a boy named Muhammad or a girl named Aisha, both of whom can be customized in Arab-styled clothes as well as more casual clothes after you complete certain tasks.
The game, in celebration of it being part of Pokémon's 10th generation, brings back some of the most beloved gimmicks in previous games like Dynamaxing and Z-Moves, though they can't be used at the same time in order to prevent unfair matches and cheap wins, and also can't be used in certain parts of it.

== Trivia ==
* The game was originally going to be darker than some previous games, complete with some references to the Arab Spring protests, however, it was altered in order to keep a friendlier image.
* Muhammad and Aisha, as well as Florian and Juliana from Gen IX, have been involved in various memes poking fun at Libya's and Spain's relationships, with the Gen X protagonists often mentioning that "Spain shouldn't be the next Italy", which references the fact Libya was an Italian colony.
* If you take off Muhammad's kufiya while keeping his usual hair, he will have the same hair as Allister from Pokémon Sword and Shield, except without the ahoge.
* The entirety of the game's city areas are based off Tripoli, the capital of Libya.
