History

In 1998, Nintendo spent $25 million promoting Pokémon in the United States in partnership with Hasbro, KFC, and others.[fourteen] Nintendo initially feared that Pokémon was also Japanese for Western tastes but Alfred Kahn, then CEO of 4Kids Entertainment convinced the company otherwise.[15] The i who spotted Pokemon's potential in the United States was Kahn's colleague Thomas Kenney.[16]

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 Visitor celebrated Pokémon 's 20th anniversary past ambulation an advert during Super Bowl 50 in January and re-releasing the beginning Pokémon video games 1996 Game Boy games Pokémon Red, Green (only in Japan), and Blueish, and the 1998 Game Boy Color game Pokémon Yellow for the Nintendo 3DS on February 26, 2016.[19] [xx] The mobile augmented reality game Pokémon Go was released in July 2016.[21] The first live-activeness moving picture 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 core serial games began with Pokémon Sword and Shield, released worldwide on the Nintendo Switch on November 15, 2019.

To celebrate its 25th ceremony, the company released two boosted titles for the Nintendo Switch: Pokémon Bright Diamond and Shining Pearl, remakes of the Nintendo DS Pokémon Diamond and Pearl games, on Nov nineteen, 2021 and its "premake" Pokémon Legends: Arceus, which was afterward released on January 28, 2022.[23] [24]

The most recent games in the main serial, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet began the ninth and latest generation and will exist released worldwide for the Nintendo Switch in tardily 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, likewise collectively refers to the 905 fictional species that have made appearances in Pokémon media every bit 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 proper name; it is and would be grammatically correct to say "one Pokémon" and "many Pokémon", as well as "one Pikachu" and "many Pikachu".[26]

Concept

Gameplay of Pokémon

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

Pokémon executive managing director Satoshi Tajiri first 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 pop pastime which Tajiri enjoyed as a child.[27] Players are designated as Pokémon Trainers and accept three general goals: to complete the regional Pokédex by collecting all of the available Pokémon species found in the fictional region where a game takes place, to complete the national Pokédex by transferring Pokémon from other regions, and to railroad train a team of powerful Pokémon from those they accept caught to compete confronting teams endemic by other Trainers so they may eventually win the Pokémon League and become the regional Champion. These themes of collecting, training, and battling are present in about every version of the Pokémon franchise, including the video games, the anime and manga serial, and the Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG).

In most incarnations of the Pokémon universe, a Trainer who encounters a wild Pokémon has the ability to capture that Pokémon by throwing a peculiarly designed, mass-producible spherical tool called a Poké Brawl at information technology. If the Pokémon is unable to escape the confines of the Poké Ball, it is considered to exist under the ownership of that Trainer. Afterwards, information technology will obey whatever commands it receives from its new Trainer, unless the Trainer demonstrates such a lack of feel that the Pokémon would rather act on its ain accord. Trainers can send out any of their Pokémon to wage non-lethal battles confronting other Pokémon; if the opposing Pokémon is wild, the Trainer tin capture that Pokémon with a Poké Ball, increasing their drove of creatures. In Pokémon Get, and in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, wild Pokémon encountered past players tin can be defenseless in Poké Assurance, but more often than not cannot be battled. Pokémon already owned by other Trainers cannot be captured, except under special circumstances in certain side games. If a Pokémon fully defeats an opponent in battle and so that the opponent is knocked out ("faints"), the winning Pokémon gains experience points and may level upwardly. First with Pokémon X and Y, experience points are also gained from catching Pokémon in Poké Balls. When leveling up, the Pokémon's contesting aptitude statistics ("stats", such equally "Attack" and "Speed") increase. At certain levels, the Pokémon may too learn new moves, which are techniques used in boxing. In add-on, many species of Pokémon can undergo a grade of metamorphosis and transform into a similar just stronger species of Pokémon, a procedure called evolution; this process occurs spontaneously nether differing circumstances, and is itself a key theme of the series. Some species of Pokémon may undergo a maximum of two evolutionary transformations, while others may undergo only 1, and others may not evolve at all. For example, the Pokémon Pichu may evolve into Pikachu, which in turn may evolve into Raichu, post-obit which no further evolutions may occur. Pokémon X and Y introduced the concept of "Mega Evolution," past which certain fully evolved Pokémon may temporarily undergo an boosted evolution into a stronger form for the purpose of battling; this evolution is considered a special case, and dissimilar other evolutionary stages, is reversible.

In the primary serial, each game'southward single-histrion mode requires the Trainer to heighten a team of Pokémon to defeat many non-actor character (NPC) Trainers and their Pokémon. Each game lays out a somewhat linear path through a specific region of the Pokémon world for the Trainer to journeying through, completing events and battling opponents along the fashion (including foiling the plans of an evil team of Pokémon Trainers who serve as antagonists to the thespian). Excluding Pokémon Sun and Moon and Pokémon Ultra Lord's day and Ultra Moon, the games feature 8 powerful Trainers, referred to every bit Gym Leaders, that the Trainer must defeat in society to progress. As a reward, the Trainer receives a Gym Bluecoat, and one time all viii badges are collected, the Trainer is eligible to challenge the region's Pokémon League, where four talented trainers (referred to collectively equally the "Aristocracy Four") challenge the Trainer to iv 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 last 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. There are 8 primary series regions set in the main series games: Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh/Hisui, Unova, Kalos, Alola, and Galar. Each of the eight generations of the primary series releases focuses on a new region. Every region consists of several cities and towns that the histrion must explore in order to overcome many waiting challenges, such as Gyms, Contests and villainous teams. At different locations within each region, the player tin can find dissimilar types of Pokémon, besides as helpful items and characters. Dissimilar regions are not accessible from i another at all within a single game, only with the exception of Kanto and Johto being linked together in Pokémon Gold, Silvery, Crystal, HeartGold and SoulSilver versions. There are as well regions set in spinoff games and 2 islands in the Pokémon anime (Orange Islands and Decolore Islands), all nevertheless fix within the aforementioned fictional universe.

Each master series region in the Pokémon universe is based on a real globe location. The beginning 4 introduced regions (Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh/Hisui) are based on parts of Nippon, with later regions being based on parts of the United States (New York City is Unova and Hawaii is Alola), France (Kalos), the Britain (Galar), and Spain and Portugal (generation nine region).[28]

These generations are roughly chronological divisions by release; every several years, when a sequel to the 1996 role-playing video games Pokémon Scarlet and Greenish is released that features new Pokémon, characters, and gameplay concepts, that sequel is considered the offset of a new generation of the franchise. The main Pokémon video games and their spin-offs, the anime, manga, and trading carte game are all updated with the new Pokémon properties each fourth dimension a new generation begins.[29] Some Pokémon from the newer games appear in anime episodes or films months, or even years, before the game they were programmed for came out.
