by ludoFile
The 22 mainline Pokémon games from 1996 to 2025, in the order they first came out. Paired versions share one entry, so beating either Red or Blue ticks it. Third versions, remakes, Let's Go, and the Legends games count as their own entries; DLC and spin-offs are left out.

The Legend of Zelda: the official timeline

Every mainline Zelda in the order Nintendo places them, from Skyward Sword down through the three-way split after Ocarina of Time. Follows Hyrule Historia as revised by the 2018 Zelda Encyclopedia; Breath of the Wild sits after all three branches, where Nintendo put it. Echoes of Wisdom has no official placement yet.

Nineteen steps, three or four games each: pick one, reach its checkpoint, move on. Roughly 180 to 260 hours.
