“Pokémon” quickly became popular among children all over Japan when ‘Pokemon Red and Green’ for Nintendo’s Game Boy was released in 1996.

Recently, the company has been focusing on attracting the adult segment by actively developing products, plans, and storylines that are geared not only toward children, but also toward adults.
Many people, both in Japan and abroad, continue to be fans of Pokemon even after they become adults, and the current “Pokemon” has become such a huge conglomerate business that it must be managed by “Pokémon Co. Since it is loved in various ways in various places around the world, it is no exaggeration to say that “Pokémon” has sort of left the framework of a “game” and “Pokémon” has come to exist in this world.

Broadcasting began in 1997 as an animated television series. It has been developed into many series and is still a big contender loved around the world. “Pokémon” has also been made into more than 20 movies.
The adventures of the main character, Satoshi, and his buddy Pikachu, as they travel through a mysterious world inhabited by Pokemon, aiming to become “Pokémon masters,” quickly became very popular. The story quickly became a Pokémon boom.

Through the story, people felt courage and strength and immersed themselves in the world of “Pokémon”. From the start of the broadcast to the present day, we can see two generations of children enjoying the game together with their own children, as the children who were once so fascinated by the game have become parents. “Pokémon” continues to be loved across generations and countries. As a work that will continue into the future, Pokémon will continue to lead us to the next stage. Enjoy!
