Which console was the first home system for a main-series Pokémon game?

The Nintendo Switch was the first home console for a main-series Pokémon game.

Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! were released worldwide for Nintendo Switch on November 16, 2018. They are remakes of the 1998 Game Boy title Pokémon Yellow and are part of the franchise's seventh generation.

The games use the Kanto region and include the original 151 Pokémon, along with later additions such as Meltan and Melmetal. Their catching system draws on Pokémon Go, and they support connectivity with that mobile game.

Earlier Pokémon games appeared on handheld systems, while Pokémon Stadium and other spin-offs were released for home consoles. The Let's Go games are classified as main-series installments despite their simplified catching mechanics and strong connection to Pokémon Go. The subsequent Pokémon Sword and Shield continued the main series on Nintendo Switch.
