'''Pokémon''' (often just spelled as ''Pokemon'') is the name of a popular {{c|Nintendo}} franchise. The series was created in [[1995]] by Satoshi Tajiri, while the first Pokémon video games, [[Pokémon Red and Blue]], were released on October 15, [[1996]] for the [[Game Boy]] in Japan. The series enjoyed high success and immense popularity with gamers worldwide as soon as it was released in North America; because of this popularity, the two games were merchandized into anime, manga, trading cards, toys, books, clothing, and other forms of media. A remake of Pokémon Red and Blue was then released, called [[Pokémon Yellow]], which was yet another successful title. | |||
The second generation of Pokémon started with [[Pokémon Gold and Silver]], released on November 21, [[1999]] in Japan for the [[Game Boy Color]], and its remake released soon after, called [[Pokémon Crystal]]. These three titles were highly anticipated and like their predecessors, became huge titles. The third generation of Pokémon began with [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire]], released on November 22, [[2002]] in Japan, and also enjoyed high amounts of success along with their remake Pokémon Emerald. The fourth generation of Pokémon began with [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]] followed by [[Pokémon Platinum|Platinum]] (which was released in North America on April 22, [[2007]] for Nintendo's successful [[Nintendo DS]] handheld system, and was released earlier in Japan). A number of spin-offs and smaller titles in the Pokémon series have been released, such as [[Pokémon Stadium]], for the various Nintendo consoles and correlating with that generation and its time period. The series is still very successful in almost all forms of media. | |||
