Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are role-playing games developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo and The Pokémon Company for the Switch in 2022. They take place in Paldea, a region based on the Iberian Peninsula, where the player is a student at a local academy given an open-ended assignment to explore the land.

They are the first main-series games with a single open world that can be tackled in any order, split across three stories: challenging the Gyms, taking on the Titan Pokémon, and facing Team Star. The two versions differ in some Pokémon, the academy and the legendary ride, Koraidon in Scarlet and Miraidon in Violet. The Terastal phenomenon, which changes a Pokémon's type in battle, is new to these games, and two downloadable expansions add further areas.

A native PC version, built from the player's own copy, is listed below.
