The Phenomenon
Based heavily on the videogame of the same name, the Pokemon Trading Card Game has taken on a huge following of its own. It's managed to attract fans of the original game as well as build up a strong userbase comprising of TCG fans both new and seasoned. A poke (no pun intended) around these very pages will reveal that one of the reasons iwantiwant rose to success was because of the incredible popularity of the Pokemon Trading Card Game. Such is the power of the Pokemon franchise that today it is still one of our biggest sellers.
Satoshi Tajiri
Satoshi Tajiri the creator of the Pokemon games used to collect bugs and insects as a child. Occasionally he would fight them against his friends bugs. This passion for collecting, coupled with a longstanding love for computer games lead to him creating the first Pokemon Games under his company Game Freak.
A Little About Pokemon
Pokemon was released in 1995 on the Nintendo GameBoy; the most established and successful videogame console to date, the game was a huge success in Japan because it contained the most popular ingredients in Eastern video gaming. Here was a deceptively deep Role Playing Game that encouraged the social aspect of gaming, playing on the popular pastimes of collecting, and rewarding players for trading and battling Pokemon between two GameBoys.
The Pokemon Trading Card Game
With the collectable aspect and stat heavy nature of Pokemon, its translation into a Trading Card Game was only a matter of time. On October 20th 1996 the Pokemon trading card game was distributed in Japan and by March 1997, 3 million Pokemon games were sold. Pokemon TCG was quickly becoming a phenomenon. In his game, Satoshi Tajiri had shaped a world where monsters could be captured and then trained to fight against other monsters. Eventually getting its own TV series of the same name in April of 1997.The series which is still being made today was a huge hit in Japan, America and Europe
The Pokemon phenomenon has been one of the most profitable things ever. New games, cards, and merchandise are still being sold across the world, in many, many different languages. Its popularity is still a force to be reckoned with; and as new games are released with new gamers taking up the challenge, the Pokemon franchse still has the strength and staying power to take on those newcomers. |
