Pokémon is getting on a bit now, it's not as popular as it was, but many companies have decided to milk the last from the genre with games clearly ripped from the original Pokémon idea.

Crispémon is one such example of this, sponsored by crisp giant Walkers. You play the role of Gary, a young man that wants to me the ultimate crisp master. He begins with just his flapping ears and one Crispémon, Ready Assualted, and with him you can battle with many other creatures, loosely based on crisps, always avoiding your arch nemesis Sultan VineGar.

Other popular Crispémon include:

Cheesey Bunionsémon, who has feet that smell so strong they can knock you out without touching you.

Smoke Ebay Conémon, who can sell you stuff pretending it's rare, then avoid opponents who realise they've been ripped off with his smokescreen special attack.

Rose Chickenémon, scared of everything, but wind her up and she'll put you in a clucking hell.

Prawn Cocktailémon, who is shaped like a prawn and attacks with it's tail made of cockerals.

Catch these and many others when you get Crispémon later this year for just £39.99 and proof of purchase from 1000 bags of Walkers Crisps.

Premiership football clubs have also got in on the act, with Soccémon. You take on the role of a young football fan that's sick of spending a fortune on stickers every year only to never get his favourite player and end up with swaps of the whole Everton squad. What better opportunity to make up for all those years of hurt by becoming the ultimate Soccémon master, capturing Soccémon from all 20 Premiership teams and battling with them in the master league.

Soccémon types in the game include Leeds very own Dirtémon, Manchester United's Whingémon, Arsenal's Championémon and West Brom's Straightbackdownémon.

Of course, the game is absolutely littered with rubbish Everton Toffémon, so you'll get loads of them, but find the better ones really hard to come by.

Finally, even Hollywood have gotten in on the act, with Moviémon, a game in which you play as a young director out to collect moviémon to star in your movies. If you gather a decent cast of moviémon stars, you could end up the ultimate Moviémon master.

Will you dare capture the wide-mouthed Julia Robertsémon? Maybe the tiny Tom Cruisémon will be the star for you. Just beware of the likes of Stallonémon, who seem to carry bombs, and other floppémon types, such as Arnold Schwarzeneggarémon, Winona Ryderémon and Corey Haimémon.

If you weren't a notable then I'd vote for you. That's some accolade.

Seriously.
