Pokemon was created in Japan in 1995 and is centered on fictional creatures called "Pokémon", which humans, known as Pokémon Trainers, catch and train to battle each other for sport.

The franchise began as video games and now spans trading card games, animated television shows and movies, comic books, and toys.

Pokémon is the second best-selling video game franchise, behind only Nintendo's Mario franchise and one of the highest-grossing media franchises of all time.
