Right from the outset, the game garnered immense success,
selling millions of copies
On February 27, 1996, Nintendo released 2 versions of the game
in Japan, Pokemon Red and Pokemon Green.
The versions differed in the set of pokémon, which motivated
players to trade pokémon with each other.
A year later the games were released in the USA, and a couple of
years later they reached Europe.
The main series of Pokemon games are RPG games. The player in
the role of a pokemon trainer travels through
a fictional crypto world in search of pokemon. Cares for, raises,
and prepares them for competition.
The trick of the project was the task set before the player to
collect all kinds of Pokémon.
The slogan
'Gotta catch 'em all' becomes
memorable
The first edition of Pokemon was black and white despite its
name
