Have you ever heard of the slogan "Gotta catch em All?" If you have, then you're like me and grew up watching Pokemon ~ a phenomenon that still continues to this day and thrives pretty much everywhere. Video games, TV, Card Games, Toys, Electronics, Home/Decorations, etc ~ Pokemon has been a hit since it's release. Growing up, there was only 150 Pokemon, but now ~ that # has doubled. This Franchise has found its way into the Anime world and still awes audiences with its Pokemon. The original Anime series is still ongoing, ranging to 850+ episodes from 1997-present. Their have also been 17 movies and way too many games to name. So then, what's the story? Well, from what I can garner, Pokemon starts off with a young boy named Ash and his quest to capture, you guessed it, Pokemon. Pokemon are pretty much Pocket Monsters that are used in battle to duke it out until one's defeated. Pokemon original character lineup is: Ash, Misty, Brock, and Ash's lovable electrifying companion, Pikachu. Now, with so many variations of Pokemon and the character lineups changing, I lost count. The whole point is to explicate that Pokemon has become a franchise and is beloved by just about everyone. The Video Games are sensational whereas the Anime continues to thrive on new material based on the Video Games. How many Pokemon are there in total? To be honest, I lost count after 150, but for the new generation ~ Pokemon will continue to thrive. To me personally, I stopped watching Pokemon after the Johto League. Pokemon, you gotta catch em all and you gotta love em all.
I hope you enjoyed this week's Legacy post. Look forward to Legacy posts on Thursdays. Until then, you all stay classy now.
