Pokemon Amber, Tanzanite, Rhodonite and Turquoise

Pokémon Amber, Pokémon Tanzanite, Pokémon Rhodonite and Pokémon Turquoise are role-playing games developed by Game Freak, published by The Pokémon Company and Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch X. They are the first installments in the tenth generation of Pokémon games. First announced in February 2026 through a special Pokemon Direct, the games released worldwide on November 14th 2026. They were released to tie into the 30th anniversary of the series. The games are also the first games to have 4 installments released at the same time.
As with previous installments, each game follows the journey of a young Pokémon trainer as they train Pokémon. This time, the game takes place in the Laulia region - based on Hong Kong and its surrounding areas. Unlike previous games, the player has the choice to train in different roles such as the typical Pokémon trainer, a breeder, a contest star or a professor in the post-game. Amber, Tanzanite, Rhodonite and Turquoise introduced 180 new Pokémon species-the most in the series' history. Features like Mega evolutions, Z Moves, Regional variants, Dynamax and Gigantamax return with new forms. Gamefreak also introduced many new types like the Sound type and Cosmic type. The games also introduced a new feature: Natural Variants where some Pokémon gain new alternate forms. In some cases, their type changes too. The player can also choose to hang out with each of the major characters like the Gym Leaders and the player's rivals. A new feature known as the Quest App is available to players to take upon select quests requested by the citizens of a certain area.
The games received universal acclaim from critics who praised the heavy innovation, the story, the focus on the fans and the open-world aspect. However, some critics criticized the slow online which was later fixed in patches.
An expansion pass was released for the game. Although the pass is split into two packs, both packs were released on July 5th 2027.
