Pokemon (short for Pocket Monsters, as its known by in Japan) was
originally released in February 1996 and it became the highest selling game
of all-time there! (Hmmm in the US isn't the biggest seller Tetris?
Correct me if I'm wrong...) Anyway, in Japan, all you need to
do is turn around and you'll see hundreds of different merchandise created
for... POKEMON! To learn more about the merchandise, click here.

In Japan,
not only is there hundreds of different products, but there is also an extremely
popular show. Well the show has also come over to our shores and is
quite popular (In New York it beat out all the other shows on television
one morning for its time slot! Now that's impressive!) To learn
more about the show, click here.
Even though the
show and merchandise are very popular... the most important part is the game
itself! The game's goal is to try to become a Pokemon Master and try
to catch all 150! However, all 150 Pokemon are not all in one version.
In order to get all 150 you need to trade with someone who has the
Blue version if you have the Red and vice versa. Even though that is
the main goal, there are other goals you can set for yourself. Some
of these include specify in training a specific type of Pokemon, trying to
build a "perfect team", and trying to beef up your Pokemon by getting them
to level 100 (the highest they could go) and filling them with
vitamins. To learn more about the game, click here.
