History

In 1998, Nintendo spent $25 million promoting Pokémon in the United States in partnership with Hasbro, KFC, and others.[xiv] Nintendo initially feared that Pokémon was also Japanese for Western tastes simply Alfred Kahn, then CEO of 4Kids Entertainment convinced the company otherwise.[15] The 1 who spotted Pokemon'south potential in the United States was Kahn'due south colleague Thomas Kenney.[sixteen]

In November 2005, 4Kids Entertainment, which had managed the non-game related licensing of Pokémon, announced that it had agreed not to renew the Pokémon representation agreement. The Pokémon Company International oversees all Pokémon licensing outside Asia.[17] In 2006, the franchise celebrated its tenth anniversary.[18] In 2016, the Pokémon Company celebrated Pokémon 'due south 20th ceremony by ambulation an ad during Super Bowl fifty in January and re-releasing the commencement Pokémon video games 1996 Game Boy games Pokémon Red, Green (only in Japan), and Blue, and the 1998 Game Boy Color game Pokémon Xanthous for the Nintendo 3DS on February 26, 2016.[nineteen] [20] The mobile augmented reality game Pokémon Get was released in July 2016.[21] The first alive-action film in the franchise, Pokémon Detective Pikachu, based on the 2018 Nintendo 3DS spin-off game Detective Pikachu, was released in 2019.[22] The 8th generation of cadre series games began with Pokémon Sword and Shield, released worldwide on the Nintendo Switch on Nov xv, 2019.

To celebrate its 25th anniversary, the company released 2 additional titles for the Nintendo Switch: Pokémon Vivid Diamond and Shining Pearl, remakes of the Nintendo DS Pokémon Diamond and Pearl games, on Nov 19, 2021 and its "premake" Pokémon Legends: Arceus, which was later released on January 28, 2022.[23] [24]

The most contempo games in the main series, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet began the ninth and latest generation and volition be released worldwide for the Nintendo Switch in late 2022.

Name

The proper name Pokémon is a syllabic abbreviation of the Japanese brand Pocket Monsters.[25] The term "Pokémon", in addition to referring to the Pokémon franchise itself, also collectively refers to the 905 fictional species that have fabricated appearances in Pokémon media as of the release of the eighth generation titles Pokémon Sword and Shield. "Pokémon" is identical in the singular and plural, as is each individual species name; it is and would be grammatically correct to say "i Pokémon" and "many Pokémon", likewise as "one Pikachu" and "many Pikachu".[26]

Concept

Gameplay of Pokémon

Artwork from Capsule Monsters, Satoshi Tajiri's early blueprint concept of Pokémon.

Pokémon executive manager Satoshi Tajiri kickoff thought of Pokémon, albeit with a different concept and name, around 1989, when the Game Boy was released. The concept of the Pokémon universe, in both the video games and the general fictional globe of Pokémon, stems from the hobby of insect collecting, a popular pastime which Tajiri enjoyed every bit a kid.[27] Players are designated equally Pokémon Trainers and have three general goals: to complete the regional Pokédex past collecting all of the available Pokémon species establish in the fictional region where a game takes identify, to complete the national Pokédex past transferring Pokémon from other regions, and to railroad train a team of powerful Pokémon from those they have caught to compete against teams owned by other Trainers and then they may eventually win the Pokémon League and go the regional Champion. These themes of collecting, training, and battling are nowadays in almost every version of the Pokémon franchise, including the video games, the anime and manga serial, and the Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG).

In virtually incarnations of the Pokémon universe, a Trainer who encounters a wild Pokémon has the ability to capture that Pokémon by throwing a specially designed, mass-producible spherical tool called a Poké Ball at it. If the Pokémon is unable to escape the confines of the Poké Brawl, information technology is considered to be under the ownership of that Trainer. Later on, it volition obey whatever commands it receives from its new Trainer, unless the Trainer demonstrates such a lack of experience that the Pokémon would rather deed on its own accord. Trainers tin ship out any of their Pokémon to wage non-lethal battles against other Pokémon; if the opposing Pokémon is wild, the Trainer can capture that Pokémon with a Poké Brawl, increasing their collection of creatures. In Pokémon Become, and in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Get, Eevee!, wild Pokémon encountered by players can exist caught in Poké Balls, but mostly cannot exist battled. Pokémon already owned by other Trainers cannot exist captured, except under special circumstances in certain side games. If a Pokémon fully defeats an opponent in battle so that the opponent is knocked out ("faints"), the winning Pokémon gains feel points and may level upwards. Beginning with Pokémon Ten and Y, experience points are as well gained from communicable Pokémon in Poké Balls. When leveling upwards, the Pokémon'due south battling aptitude statistics ("stats", such equally "Set on" and "Speed") increase. At certain levels, the Pokémon may besides learn new moves, which are techniques used in battle. In addition, many species of Pokémon tin can undergo a class of metamorphosis and transform into a similar just stronger species of Pokémon, a process called evolution; this process occurs spontaneously under differing circumstances, and is itself a central theme of the series. Some species of Pokémon may undergo a maximum of two evolutionary transformations, while others may undergo merely one, and others may non evolve at all. For example, the Pokémon Pichu may evolve into Pikachu, which in plow may evolve into Raichu, following which no further evolutions may occur. Pokémon X and Y introduced the concept of "Mega Development," past which certain fully evolved Pokémon may temporarily undergo an additional evolution into a stronger course for the purpose of battling; this development is considered a special case, and unlike other evolutionary stages, is reversible.

In the main serial, each game's single-player mode requires the Trainer to raise a squad of Pokémon to defeat many non-thespian graphic symbol (NPC) Trainers and their Pokémon. Each game lays out a somewhat linear path through a specific region of the Pokémon earth for the Trainer to journey through, completing events and battling opponents forth the way (including foiling the plans of an evil team of Pokémon Trainers who serve as antagonists to the player). Excluding Pokémon Lord's day and Moon and Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the games characteristic eight powerful Trainers, referred to as Gym Leaders, that the Trainer must defeat in order to progress. As a advantage, the Trainer receives a Gym Bluecoat, and once all eight badges are collected, the Trainer is eligible to challenge the region's Pokémon League, where four talented trainers (referred to collectively equally the "Elite Four") challenge the Trainer to four Pokémon battles in succession. If the trainer tin can overcome this gauntlet, they must challenge the Regional Champion, the master Trainer who had previously defeated the Elite Four. Any Trainer who wins this concluding battle becomes the new champion.

Pokémon universe

Pokémon is set in the fictional Pokemon universe. There are numerous regions that have appeared in the various media of the Pokémon franchise. In that location are 8 chief serial regions set in the principal serial games: Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh/Hisui, Unova, Kalos, Alola, and Galar. Each of the 8 generations of the primary series releases focuses on a new region. Every region consists of several cities and towns that the player must explore in order to overcome many waiting challenges, such as Gyms, Contests and villainous teams. At dissimilar locations within each region, the role player tin can find different types of Pokémon, also as helpful items and characters. Different regions are non accessible from one another at all within a single game, but with the exception of Kanto and Johto being linked together in Pokémon Gilt, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold and SoulSilver versions. There are also regions set in spinoff games and two islands in the Pokémon anime (Orange Islands and Decolore Islands), all yet set within the aforementioned fictional universe.

Each primary series region in the Pokémon universe is based on a real world location. The first 4 introduced regions (Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh/Hisui) are based on parts of Japan, with later regions existence based on parts of the The states (New York Metropolis is Unova and Hawaii is Alola), France (Kalos), the United Kingdom (Galar), and Spain and Portugal (generation 9 region).[28]

Meitetsu 2200 series train Giratina & Shaymin.

Professor of education Joseph Tobin theorizes that the success of the franchise was due to the long list of names that could be learned by children and repeated in their peer groups. Its rich fictional universe provides opportunities for discussion and sit-in of noesis in front of their peers. The names of the creatures were linked to its characteristics, which converged with the children's belief that names take symbolic power. Children can pick their favourite Pokémon and assert their individuality while at the same time affirming their conformance to the values of the grouping, and they can distinguish themselves from others by asserting what they liked and what they did not like from every affiliate. Pokémon gained popularity because it provides a sense of identity to a broad variety of children, and lost it quickly when many of those children plant that the identity groups were too big and searched for identities that would distinguish them into smaller groups.[112] [ page needed ]

Pokémon 's history has been marked at times by rivalry with the Digimon media franchise that debuted at a like fourth dimension. Described equally "the other 'monday'" by IGN'south Juan Castro, Digimon has not enjoyed Pokémon 's level of international popularity or success, but has maintained a dedicated fanbase.[113] IGN'south Lucas Yard. Thomas stated that Pokémon is Digimon 's "abiding competition and comparison", attributing the former's relative success to the simplicity of its development mechanic as opposed to Digivolution.[114] The two accept been noted for conceptual and stylistic similarities by sources such every bit GameZone.[115] A debate among fans exists over which of the two franchises came first.[116] In actuality, the beginning Pokémon media, Pokémon Red and Green, were released initially on February 27, 1996;[117] whereas the Digimon virtual pet was released on June 26, 1997.

While Pokémon 'due south target demographic is children, early on purchasers of Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire were in their 20s.[118] Many fans are adults who originally played the games as children and had later returned to the serial.[118]

Numerous fan sites exist for the Pokémon franchise, including Bulbagarden , a site hosting the wiki-based encyclopedia Bulbapedia,[119] [120] [121] and Serebii,[122] a news and reference website.[123] Information technology was reported that Serebii stopped showing up in search results in the search engine Bing.[124] Large fan communities exist on other platforms, such as the r/pokemon subreddit with over 3.9 one thousand thousand subscribers.[125]

Nuzlocke Challenge

A claiming called the Nuzlocke Challenge allows players to simply capture the starting time Pokémon encountered in each expanse. Using rules from a webcomic originally named "Pokemon Difficult-Mode", if they exercise not succeed in capturing that Pokémon, at that place are no second chances. When a Pokémon faints, it is considered "expressionless" and must be released or stored in the PC permanently.[132] [133] If the role player faints, the game is considered over, and the histrion must restart.[134] The original idea consisted of 2 to 3 rules that the community has built upon. At that place are many fan fabricated Pokémon games that contain a game mode similar to the Nuzlocke Challenge, such as Pokémon Uranium.
