Generation VI

The sixth generation of Pokémon, known by fans due to its version names as the biblical generation, is the sixth installment of the Pokémon series. Like previous generations, it begins with two games, Pokémon Alpha and Omega Versions, released as a pair, and it is joined by a third game, Pokémon Infinity Version. All three games are available for the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo 3DS systems, making it the first installment in the Pokémon series to be playable on multiple systems. Granted the Wii version has a feel similar to Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness and has many unique features, both systems' versions of the games have an identical plotline.

A new region was introduced for this generation. The Deltéo region is known to be farthest away from the regions of previous generations, also the largest region to date. Unlike the past five, Deltéo is not based on a single real-world area. Several major cities serve as inspiration for the locations visited by the player in Pokémon Alpha and Omega Versions.

The Generation VI games are able to communicate with the Generation V, IV, and III games. Players who possess the Wii versions of the games may transfer Pokémon in any of their previous-generation games to the Wii itself, granted Generation III Pokémon must be transferred into the 3DS from the Gameboy cartridges and then from the 3DS to the Wii before use. 3DS players can connect to these games as well, granted Generation III Pokémon must be transfered into the DS from the Gameboy cartridges before they can be used.
