Pokemon is the short form for Pocket Monsters. This franchise was created by Satoshi Tajiri back in 1996. The concept of Pokemon, which shows Pokemon trainers traveling and capturing creatures, is actually inspired by Satoshi’s childhood love for insect collection. What a rather odd way of inspiration.
For years, Pokemon has caught the imagination of people around the world. We have Pokemon games, cartoons, trading cards, and even merchandise, which makes Pokemon the highest-grossing media franchise. Not just one or two, but there are almost thousands of different species which is created based on imagination and fantasy.
