278 - Pokémon Turns 25
from RPGFan's Retro Encounter Hosted by RPGFan.com
It was early in 1996 when a couple of modest, lightly-janky Gameboy games were released in Japan, beginning a phenomenon that is persisting (and thriving) to this day. Those games were Pokemon Red and Green, the very first generation of Satoshi Tajiri and Game Freak's monster-catching series! A quarter century on, Pokemon is now the biggest multimedia franchise in the world, and what began as a respectable 151 creatures has ballooned to an incredible 893. On this episode of Retro Encounter, 5 panelists discuss the history of this storied series: where it's been and our hopes for where it could go in the future, for trainers of all ages. It's a great big world out there, and we're glad Pokemon's a part of it!
