Definition

  • Originally released in 1996 as a pair of Nintendo Game Boygames, Pokémon has since spread across several media formats and undergone regular, iterative redevelopments to become a multibillion-dollar global franchise. A cross-media barrage of video games, trading cards, comics and cartoon series, films, toys and an endless supply of merchandise has made it one of the most widely-recognized brand names to have ever emerged from video games, and a major source of income for Nintendo.
