Pokémon Prologue and Epilogue

Pokémon Prologue Version and Pokémon Epilogue Version are a pair of Pokémon games developed by Game Freak and released by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch shortly after release.
==Story==
Welcome to the Abnica region - a land of rainy days, swathes of untamed wilderness, and cities where Pokémon and humanity live closer than anywhere else. You are a youth hailing from Kalos. You came to Abnica to live with your father, the eccentric boarding school professor Buckthorn, one year ago.
Now, on your eleventh birthday, you have learned enough about Abnica to begin your traditional Pokémon journey. You will travel across the region, making friends with the local Pokémon and challenging the ten Field Professors to prove the mastery of you and your allies. After that, it's on to the Pokémon League, and a chance to earn a battle against the royal family.
But it's rarely clear skies in Abnica. A group of rogue extremists calling themselves Team Diverge, convinced that humanity has grown far too reliant on Pokémon to do all the heavy lifting, has begun scouring the region for a tool that will help them erase the influence of Pokémon from human history - a man-made being with dominion over time itself, locked away due to its dangerously unpredictable power...
