Pocket Monsters - Gold (C)
The Pokemon series, a global phenomenon, started with the release of "Pocket Monsters" in Japan on the Nintendo Game Boy. The games "Pocket Monsters - Red" and "Pocket Monsters - Green" were released in Japan in 1996, introducing the world to the core gameplay loop of collecting, training, and battling Pokemon. This original formula involved navigating a region, catching various Pokemon, and facing increasingly challenging Gym Leaders culminating in a confrontation with the villainous Team Rocket. The original games' relatively simple graphics belied their surprisingly deep gameplay mechanics, including strategic type matchups and intricate stat calculations. Developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo, the phenomenal success of the original "Pocket Monsters" games ushered in the era of the Pokemon franchise, encompassing video games, trading cards, anime, and countless other media.
