Pokemon Mono and Sepia

Pokemon Mono and Pokemon Sepia are upcoming 2022 role-playing video games developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo and The Pokemon Company for the Nintendo Switch. They are the first installments in the ninth generation of Pokemon video game series and the fourth in the series to be released on a home console. They are the first-ever Pokemon games in history to run on Unreal Engine 4.

The games' theme is simplicity. That means no genders, no berries, no abilities, and only moves introduced in Generation 1 are available (even though there are many exceptions, and new moves can still be made.) Mega Evolutions, Z-Moves, Dynamax/Gigantamax, and other gimmicks like that won't be present too, even though Coronian forms are announced. Of course your Pokemon can still hold items, but to follow the game's theme of simplicity, not a single Trainer of this game has a Pokemon holding anything (until the upcoming Expansion Pass.)

Whereas regions Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh were named after the regions of Japan, and regions Unova, Kalos, Alola, and Galar were made after various other countries (USA, France, Hawaii, and the UK respectively), the new region, Retoro, is modeled after various takes on pop culture of the 1920s, 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s.

The Ride Pokemon feature, introduced in Generation 7 but not present in Generation 8, makes a triumphant return without the need for HMs in keeping with the game's simplicity motif.

Trivia

 * Retoro, this game's region, is based off of pop culture of the 1920s thru the 1960s (and maybe a bit of the 1970s.) Retoro is a take on the word "retro."
 * This game is compatible with Pokemon HOME with an update. However, Pokemon transferred from past generations to this game cannot come back.
