![]() The second Generation of Pokémon games began in 2000 with the release of Pokémon Gold/Silver for the Game Boy Color. Second Generation (Johto) Pokémon Crystal These games started off the Pokémon craze around the world, and set many of the gameplay standards still seen in current games, such as Pokémon Types and the battle system. After the success of the first games and the animated series, Pokémon Yellow was released October 1999, with a plot inspired by the anime. The first games in the series were Pokémon Red/Blue (Red/Green in Japan), released September 1998 in America for the Game Boy. First Generation (Kanto) Pokémon Red/Blue The main games and their spin-offs, the anime, the manga, and the trading card game are all updated with the new Pokémon properties each time a new generation begins. Each generation features a new region, with new Pokémon to catch and new places to explore. The main series of Pokémon titles is divided into different generations, roughly indicating a pair of releases. Players can also trade their Pokémon, either through local connections, or via a global trading system first introduced with the series' fourth Generation. There are many different types of balls, from the basic red-and-white Poké Ball to the Master Ball, a valuable ball which will capture any wild Pokémon without fail. These balls are bought, found, or sometimes made, and can only be used on wild Pokémon. Pokémon are captured using special capsule-like devices known as Poké Balls. Some Pokémon have branching evolutions, where the Pokémon can evolve into a different Pokémon based on their evolution method. Some evolutions will also change the Pokémon's type or abilities, and gain access to new skills that might not have been available in their previous form. The Pokémon will retain its moves, nature, EVs, and IVs, but will gain (or sometimes lose) stat points. Many Pokémon can evolve, changing to a new form with slightly different abilities, upon meeting certain prerequisites, typically a set experience level. Players can affect their Pokémon stat point gain through Effort Value (EV) and Individual Value (IV) manipulation, which can boost a Pokémon's stat points significantly. From the third Generation onward, Pokémon also have a nature, which will increase or decrease certain stats, and an ability, which is a special attribute that might help (or hinder) it in battle. Pokémon earn experience every time they make an opponent faint, and will increase their stats automatically every time they level up. Each Pokémon has a base stat point distribution, spread between 6 stats: Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, Speed, and HP. Players can use a Pokédex to keep track of all Pokémon seen and captured.Įach Pokémon has one or two types (out of a total of 18), and can learn up to 4 different moves at a time. There are currently 898 different Pokémon in the series, and not all can be captured in a single game. The player can use their own Pokémon to battle them, allowing them to capture the Pokémon for future use. Pokémon are special creatures that appear throughout the Pokémon franchise. See Pokémon (Concept) for list of all 898 Pokémon. Pokémon Stadium | Pokémon Mystery Dungeon | Pokémon Ranger | Pokémon Rumble | Pikachu | Pokémon Trozei | Pokédex | Pokémon TCG | Pokémon Pinball | Pokémon Snap | Pokémon Some entries in the series see a later third version, featuring additional alterations and improvements over the previous 2 versions.Īlthough the original game introduced 151 different species of Pokémon, later iterations have continued to add new species, bringing the current total to 898, with many species having additional regional variants or mega-evolved forms. The main, role-playing installments of the franchise are typically released in pairs, with minor differences between the two iterations, meaning that 100% completion can only be achieved by linking to a friend with the game and swapping the missing creatures. ![]() Created by Game Freak and published by Nintendo, the Pokémon, or Pocket Monsters, series began on March 21,1996, with the original Japanese Game Boy release of Pokémon Red and Green, later released in North America as Pokémon Red and Blue. ![]()
