Hello, Pokemon fans. Just to let toi know that Pokemon is NOT a video game franchise. Yep, that's my opinion. So feel free to disagree.

As toi may know that Pokemon is not a video game franchise. Pokemon is an animé and manga franchise. I know alot of toi people call Pokemon, a video game franchise. But to me, it doesn't and therefore, Pokemon isn't a video game franchise. Why toi asked? Pokemon started an anime/manga franchise as a video game for GameBoy. toi know Pokemon Red and Green which came out in Japon in 1996. Yeah, that's why. Wheras most animé and manga franchises like Bleach started their animé and manga franchises with a manga, Pokemon started its own animé and manga franchise with a Nintendo GameBoy game that is made par Nintendo. Nintendo is the same company who brought us Nintendo systems like GameBoy Advance and Wii U as well as Nintendo franchises like Mario and Kirby.

Pokemon isn't the only animé and manga franchise that started off with the games, Monster Rancher started off with the games. Like Pokemon, Monster Rancher is not a video game franchise despit Monster Rancher goes par video games. Monster Rancher is an animé and manga franchise. Therefore, Monster Rancher games are animé and manga licensed games. The same applies to Pokemon. In the musique business, Taylor rapide, swift is a pop artist. Taylor rapide, swift started for pop musique career in 2006 with a different genre like country music. Then later on, Taylor rapide, swift begin making pop musique as soon as her seconde album, Fearless released in 2008. Since 2008, Taylor rapide, swift has slowly transitioned to pop par the mid 2010s just like Pokemon has transitioned from a Nintendo game for GameBoy to an animé and mange franchise par the late 90s.

As toi may know that Pokemon is the rarest animé and manga franchise of the whole animé and manga franchise phenomenal - Pokemon is an animé and manga franchise that crossed over from the seconde best selling video game franchise of all time to the world's largest mainstream animé and manga franchise worldwide. Doraemon is still the biggest animé and manga franchise in Japan. But in the US, Pokemon is the largest animé and manga franchise in the US since 1998. While most animé and manga franchises like One Piece either has been struggled for unknown reasons ou only marketed in Japan, Pokemon carefully always becoming an animé and manga franchise with the help of Nintendo. par the late 90s, Pokemon has shed off its video game franchise marketing as soon as Pokemon peaked the US popularity par 1999. par 2002, Pokemon no longer goes par video game franchise. Pokemon games like Pokemon or and Silver are officially animé and manga licensed games in history. Pokemon games are no longer video game franchise games.

Pokemon games are the only licensed games that started off with the franchise's licensed games themselves before the whole franchise itself was just getting started. Pokemon video games are the only licensed video games that sell all video game franchises expect Mario like Sonic The Hedgehog and The Legend Of Zelda. Only Mario outsell Pokemon licensed games. Pokemon video games are NOT real video games. Pokemon video games are licensed video games. Pokemon games are the only licensed games that outsold every other licensed games like movie based video games (Boo!) and Disney video games. Pokemon games are the only animé and manga licensed games that outsold every other animé and manga licensed games like Digimon games. This makes Pokemon games the best selling licensed games of all time.

Pokemon video games are also the only licensed games that all of the franchise's licensed games are published par Nintendo as Pokemon is Nintendo's third party acquisition. Speaking of Nintendo, the reason Pokemon needs Nintendo is because Pokemon's animé and manga franchise company, The Pokemon Company, is an independent company. That's why Nintendo will be the video game company for publishing Pokemon licensed video games thanks to Nintendo owning Pokemon's trademarks just to play it safe. Without Nintendo, there won't be any video game company that publier Pokemon games as third parties like Capcom had no faith on Pokemon games. So Pokemon needs Nintendo in order to keep Pokemon video games alive in the end. With Nintendo owning Pokemon trademarks, Pokemon makes a special guest in Super Smash Bros.

OK then, let's talk about why Pokemon is a different animé and manga franchise. Here we go. Pokemon's creator, Satoshi Tajiri, wanted to make an animé and manga franchise that started off with the Nintendo GameBoy video games where people can use the link cable to trade the animé and manga franchise characters between the 2 GameBoy systems. That animé and manga franchise is Pokemon.

So in 1990, Satoshi Tajiri will be making Pokemon for GameBoy. As GameFreak develops Pokemon in 1990 as Capsule Monsters, Pokemon development took 5 and a half years to make before Pokemon Red and Green was finished par late 1995 and Pokemon Red and Green released on February 27, 1996. par late 1996, Pokemon Red and Green sold 10 million copies in Japon making it the best selling animé and manga licensed games in Japan.

The animé was soon followed in 1997 and the animé was the world's biggest animé for nearly 20 years with plus than 900 episodes and Pokemon is the biggest dub animé worldwide when Pokemon first released in the US in 1998. Pokemon has over 15 films making Pokemon films the only animé films where all the animé films in the series were dubbed in the US. The first 5 Pokemon films released in theaters across the US between 1999 and 2003. Then the post US theatrical run Pokemon films (Jirachi Wishmaker-Hoopa and the Clash of Ages) were aired on TV (Jirachi Wishmaker and Lucario and the Mystery Of Mew were released straight to DVD instead). These Pokemon films (Destiny Deoxys-Hoopa and the Clash of Ages) not named Lucario and the Mystery of Mew were aired on Cartoon Network (Destiny Deoxys aired on Kids WB in January 2005 instead).

Then after 5 Pokemon generations between 1996 (1998 in the US) and 2012, Pokemon has finally become the world's largest animé and manga franchise and par 2013, Pokemon has now belonged to the animé and manga franchise realm where it belongs when Pokemon X and Y released for Nintendo 3DS on October 12 worldwide. Pokemon video games like Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire are officially licensed video games as Pokemon is no longer a video game franchise. Pokemon is now an animé and manga franchise forever as Pokemon games are Pokemon licensed games. Pokemon games are not video game franchise games anymore. Pokemon games are Pokemon licensed products forever.

There toi have it, that's why Pokemon is an animé and manga franchise. Simple as that. I know alot of people call Pokemon a video game franchise. In my opinion, it's not. I hope Pokemon will be marketed as an animé and manga franchise. Keep in mind that Pokemon changed its franchise classification from video game franchise to animé and manga franchise does NOT affect Nintendo published Pokemon games ou Pokemon's video game industry. The change/transition has to do the with whole Pokemon franchise itself. So ours in that. I hope enjoy lire my article about why Pokemon is an animé and manga franchise, not a video game franchise.

Missingno. is a glitch Pokemon. If caught, it will cause some minor glitches in the graphics. It is pretty hard to catch, seeing at it exists only under certain conditions. And here they are:

1. Make sure your character's name is ASH.
(Added note: There are other names, but ASH is the easiest to remember for me.)

2. Go to Viridian City and talk to the old man near the top. He will ask if you're in a hurry. Say "no."

3. After you're done talking to the old man, fly to either Cinnabar Island ou fuschia City right away. Don't do anything else until you're there.

4. If toi flew to Cinnabar Island, Surf to the east coast. If toi flew to fuschia City, Surf to the Seafoam Islands.

5. Once toi get to the coast of Cinnabar, Surf along the coast. ou if at the Seafoam Islands, Surf around the coast of the islands. Either way, toi will eventually encounter the elusive Missingno.

Hope this helped!
