What is the term for games like Ao Oni and Pokémon?
Many games have genres like MMORPG and FPS, and I wondered what the name of the genre for games in the style of Ao Oni and Pokémon are.
The type of game (usually Japanese) wherein simple sprites move about on a 2D map. I have heard to them being referred to as RPG but that seems like quite a wide net considering games like Skyrim and such also being labelled RPG. Is there a more specific term?

They're RPGs, there's not really much else you could label them as except adding in more labels, like Pokemon being a JRPG while Ao Oni is a survival-horror RPG
Simply:
Ao Oni is a survival horror game with RPG and puzzle elements
Pokémon is a Role-playing, adventure, puzzle
