Pokémon are fascinating creatures harboring a myriad of mysteries. Pokémon began with the "Pokémon Red Version" and "Pokémon Green Version" video games launched in Japan in 1996 for the Game Boy platform. Among the factors that have contributed to Pokémon's success are the sheer enjoyment of capturing and raising Pokémon as a collection, and the opportunities Pokémon creates for communication through trading with other players or competing against them. Today, thanks to its amazing expansion into the realms of trading card games, TV anime, film, apps, merch and so much more, Pokémon is a name known and loved all around the world.
