Two new types; dark and steel
Special is split into special attack and special defense and all attacks are classified as either special or physical
Many of the pokemon you knew got new evolutions. There are 5 new Eevees; none uses the moon stone. Go figure.
Legendaries don't evolve but they get "forms" where it's like evolution that can be reversed. Mewthree is real, and it's Mewtwo's new form.
Branching evolutions are a thing, and via them Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee ARE related.
Double and triple battles, like in the anime, are a thing.
Pokemon can hold items to use in battle now.
Charizard is objectively a piece of shit due to a single move. Nobody's happy about it, but it's true.
They did a remake of the year 2000 games a few years back, and the pocket pikachu peripheral got remade. People loved it.
Ash is STILL the main character in the anime
Not only are there Pokemon gods now, but there are so many their roles in creation are actually in conflict. The in-game universe actually has two different poke-religious sects.
Magikarp learns two new moves besides splash and tackle
They never did come up with a good sequel to pokemon stadium. We know, we're mad too.
You can breed pokemon now. It's necessary to get ones with strong enough genes to battle competitively. A lot of people are unhappy about that.
Pokemon have an automatically-activated fifth move called an "ability". They can make things happen, like summoning weather. Oh yeah, there's weather now. Also you can lay traps so that pokemon get hurt when you switch.
You can get more than one master ball per game but it involves a raffle.
They made a porygon that was corrupted by hackers. Its head is upside down.
Dragons are still ridiculously overpowered and poison type still sucks.
We finally got a pure flying-type pokemon. One. Also there are pokemon with normal typing and a secondary typing that isn't flying.
Poke fusions are a thing now.
Genders exist but the Nidorans are still separate.
