Pokémon is a global phenomenon, and it continues to take over the world.

The Japanese series was created by Satoshi Tajiri in 1996, and follows Pokémon trainers catching Pokémon (there are now over 1,000 different species!) to battle each other within the Pokémon universe.

Well over two decades after the video game franchise’s debut, the general public still goes wild for each and every new Pokémon game – and there are well over a dozen versions of the main game, not to mention tons of spinoffs, TV shows, movies and the massive card game. “Gotta catch ‘em all”!
