The 1-2 punch of releasing a Saturday morning cartoon-like anime alongside the Pokémon Red and Blue games for the Game Boy was a stroke of genius that enraptured children’s minds worldwide. The series follows Ash Ketchem and his buddy Pikachu on his quest to “catch’em all” (his last name is a pun for the catchphrase) and become a Pokémon Master. What it does best is introduce several small creatures (or Pocket Monsters) and the dynamics of their world. Since its introduction in 1997, Pokémon has gone on to become the most valuable media franchise on Earth.
