Pokémon Dark and Light

Pokémon Dark and Light are Japanese video games developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo. The game is the most recent installment of the Pokémon series and was originally published on August 9, 2022, for the Nintendo Switch.

Gameplay
The game features similar gameplay to the other games, featuring a turn-based rock, paper, scissors system where certain Pokémon types are stronger/weaker against others. Most of the changes in the game are story-based, such as important cutscenes being fully animated in an anime style. Important cutscenes are also fully voice acted and the game is far more heavily story-based than other games in the series.

Summary
The game follows a mostly silent protagonist who the player can name as they attempt to become the greatest Pokémon trainer in their region, the Kopai region. On their way to the top, they must overcome several obstacles, including several rivals challenging them, their region's national Gym Challenge, and a group of Pokémon kidnappers known as Team Faux.
