What are Pokemon?!?

Pokémon (short for Pocket Monsters,
pronounced Poh-kay-mauhn) is a Game Boy game that first debuted in Japan,
February 27th, 1996. It wasn't long until it became the highest selling
game in the history of Japan. With its cute, little characters such as
Pikachu, demand for the little monsters grew. Soon, Pokémon merchandise
had been stocking up on shelves with dolls, puppets, glasses, stamps,
stationary, rings, clothes, and even Pokémon costumes.  In
addition to the release of the game here in North America, the little critters
arrived with its very own animated series on September 8th. The Pokémon
series are vaguely based on the game's story line with Ash Ketchum and his Pokémon,
Pikachu, as the main characters. The show has already been broadcasted to
over 86% of the television markets in the U.S.A. For more information on
the series, click here.  There
are two versions to the Pokémon game with one blue and one red version.
There are 151 known Pokémons in total but only 150 are available in the US
version of the game. Not all 150 monsters could be found on one game pak.
For example, one version might contain certain Pokémons that the other version
might not have. The only solution is to trade. You and your opponent
can battle or trade using two Game Boys and a Game Boy Link Cable. It'll
probably be a good idea to trade with a person with a different-coloured game
pak so you can get certain Pokémons that your game pak may not have.
