About

Pokémon is a franchise that includes anime and video games. This series began when Satsi Tajiri thought the idea of ​​creating a game for Nintendo’s Game Boy, where “living” creatures could be caught and exchanged. The anime Pokémon was screened in Japan for the first time around a year after the video game and it did not take long to reach many other countries where it also made great success. The entire Pokémon franchise has earned over $ 40 billion, making it one of the most successful media franchises in history. Video games have sold over 270 million copies, making it the second most commercial video game series in history.

Pokémon games belong to the role of adventure. The character controlled by the player has the ability to explore his world and meet various creatures (Pokémon) that can capture and fight with his Pokémon. He can also meet other characters with whom he can battle or exchange Pokémon. Each Pokémon has statistics that increase or decrease depending on the training they receive from their instructor, ie the player. Training is mainly through the battle with other Pokémon or through various “drugs” the player can give them. The Pokémon world is quite complex since each Pokémon has many features that make it stand out from the rest of the Pokémon. Characteristics such as its type, its nature, its specific effects, its level, statistics, etc. Combining all these features, the battles between the Pokémon and their general education are of great interest. That’s why you need a strategy to end the game. An example is the fact that the type or the element of nature to which each Pokémon belongs has weaknesses in other types and advantages to others (eg the type of fire has a weakness in the water type but an advantage over type of ice), but in some other types it does not affect at all. Also, Game Boy Advance with the Link Cable is capable of interacting two video games. In addition, Pokémon games for the Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS series have the ability to interact over the internet.

The Pokémon series tells the adventures of Ash Ketchum of a new instructor from the city of Pallet on his journey to the Pokémon world to become the Pokémon Master. Ash travels with Misty, Brock, and the now famous Pikachu in various gyms and places to win emblems and catch new Pokémon. But his journey is not easy. Ash has to face the “Pyramil” team, Jessie, James, and Meowth – a Pokémon who previously learned to speak human to win his love – with their impious plans trying to steal Pikachu, and not only. Pokémon is one of the few anime series that has managed to make such great success worldwide.
