Pok?mon began with the "Pok?mon Red Version" and "Pok?mon Green Version" video games launched in Japan in 1996 for the Game Boy platform. Among the factors that have contributed to Pok?mon's success are the sheer enjoyment of capturing and raising Pok?mon as a collection, and the opportunities Pok?mon 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, Pok?mon is a name known and loved all around the world.
