Nintendo: "We don't want your game", Man: Invents Pokémon

A boy was so obsessed with bugs, he needed to catch them all! He started collecting all kinds, and it eventually inspired him to create his own universe: Pokémon.
Today, it is by a long shot the biggest video game franchise in history.
But for a time, the company that made it was struggling to even pay its staff and a mistake caused the franchise to almost never exist.
This is the story of how Pokémon was made.

    I remember a friend of mine telling me that I "had to get this amazing game that is huge in Japan." I wasn't much into RPG at the time but the way my friend was talking about it I simply had to have it. I remember going to Sears to get a Gameboy and Pokémon Blue because by friend had Pokémon Red. The moment I started up the game I was blown away. There were these little characters on the screen jumping around fighting and there was music that went along with the fighting. Then I saw it. "Pokémon Blue Version" Squirtle was my first Pokémon that I picked because the evolved version was on the cartridge so I figured why not. The hours I spent playing that game. For the longest time It was the only game I had or needed. I eventually had to use the wall to put my head against because I was tilting my head forward to look down at the screen for hours upon hours. I'd go over to my friend's house and we would battle and trade Pokémon and give each other tips and tricks to defeat gym leaders or get through caves. Pokémon Is still one of my favorite series and now I get to share it with my niece by playing it on the Switch. Running around fighting gym leaders. Learning what types defeat other types. Petting the Pokémon and giving them treats. Taking them out of the pokéball and riding around on them or just letting them follow you around. Sure I can only remember the first 151 Pokémon but there are so many it is amazing how they keep coming up with new ones.

    TBH, I grew up when Pokémon first came out long ago in 90s I thought Pikachu was the cutest thing in the world but I never had the money to play the card games so I distanced myself as copium. I love Pikachu the character but I mentally banned myself from anything Pokémon if I can't be like the other kids playing. HOWEVER, when I learnt that there are Pikachus IRL animals, I was an adult already, so I bought my first Chinchilla which you can see in my profile pic. He has already passed on a few years ago at the age of 10. But it fulfilled my dream from the Pokémon franchise of having a real life Pikachu even though I didn't play the games, card games or watch the anime much.

    Your kids will probably grow tired of it considering how repetitive and boring the newer games are, you’re kids would probably find themselves enjoying generation 3,4 and 5 way more then any of the latest garbage Pokémon pumps out. But obviously if there first game is one of the newer games then you’re just going to be accustoming them and getting them used to literal garbage which is never a good thing, they need to be able to distinguish garbage from quality so there best bet is to start in generation 4 through Pokémon platinum, or heartgold and Soulsilver, or Pokémon emerald.

    So many people don't believe it when I tell them that my mother had banned me from Pokemon because she heard it was "witchcraft" and that "the Pokemon theme song when played backwards sounds like 'hail Satan.'" My mother banned me from it from Kindergarden up to adulthood, and locked up my Pokemon merch for years- eventually getting rid of my Gen 1 Pokemon merch outside a local grocery store when I was in college. In retaliation, I bought my first Pokemon game that year- Pokemon Leaf green- and have since spent hundreds of dollars on Pokemon.

    When I was 8, I got my hands on a Game Boy and Pokémon Blue right when it first came out. It was a reward from my mom for finishing my finals. Even though I don't play it much these days, I still hold onto the memories of playing Pokémon during sleepovers, in cars, and with friends. We spent hours on the game, doing things like using rare candy cheats on Cinnabar Island or trying to catch 'missingno.' It was a time when everyone had their cool Pokémon team. In school, we had secret groups for trading Pokémon cards. I still remember my first Pokémon memory when my aunt gave me three gold spinning coins. It was a game where you spun the coins to do attacks, right when Pokémon was first released. Pokémon was more than just a personal joy; it was a social thing too. It brought people together, and you could immediately connect with others who loved it. Now that I'm in my 30s, my partner and I have started playing Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, bringing back the good times!
