Was Pokemon initially manga and then tv producers changed the story they
wanted it or was it a product of imagination of tv producers?

Did Pokemon start off as a Manga?


Pokémon actually started as a pair of video games published by Nintendo for
the Game Boy in 1996. Known as [Pokémon Red and
Blue](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Red_and_Blue) (although in
Japan the games were released as Pokémon Red and Green), these games were
followed up by some [short
stories](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Junior).

IIRC, first came the Pokémon comics, then the [Pokémon
series](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_\(anime\)) debuted on
television on April 1, 1997, and shortly thereafter the
[manga](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_\(manga\)) was released on
August 8, 1997.
