Pokemon. A natural born fad. But did you guys know that Pokemon was first released in 1988?? Nintendo have just improved it. But do you think that they are going too far with all the merchandise??

Wrong!

The original Pokémon that were drawn, which were Squirtle, Bulbasaur and Charmander were drawn in 1982

Nintendo would've pulled through but it was pokemon that put them in such a great financial position.

Personally, I think that the Gameboy RPG's are great!

The original characters 'weedle' etc... They were drawn in 1988 and then Nintendo brought the rights along with the anime company and released products in Japan in 1993.

Ild say yes if I was a parent, Poke this and Poke that would drive any parent mad.

Although Nintendo has only survived off the immense success of Pokemon, so if some kid wants to buy the Pokemon sticker album and ruck sack or some other rubbish Pokemon merchandise to subsidise one of my favourite games companies then Im not going to complain :-)
