Can you play Pokemon games on the Steam Deck?
Nope, you can't directly play Pokemon games on the Steam Deck since they're primarily available on Nintendo's platforms. However, there are workarounds like emulators that technically can let you play them, but it's a bit of a gray area legally speaking.

Sadly, Pokemon games are exclusive to Nintendo's consoles, so you won't find them on Steam or for the Steam Deck. But hey, the Steam Deck runs on a version of Linux, and with some technical know-how, you could use emulators. Just be aware of the legalities!
Actually, you can't. Pokemon games are a no-go on Steam Deck cause they're not in the Steam store. Nintendo likes to keep its exclusives close to home.
