Pokemon

Pokemon was invented in 1996 by the Nintendo Company, specifically by Satoshi Tajiri. It quickly became one of the best selling game franchises in history. Pokemon has since become the second-most successful and lucrative video game-based media franchise in the world, only behind Nintendo's Mario franchise. It has been developed into a video game, a card game, and even a television series (with movies). However, the most notable has been the video game series. Pokemon has come out with games for the Nintendo Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo 64, Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo Wii, and Nintendo DS. Personally, I like Pokemon. Though I haven't really gotten into any of the new(er) games, I still play many of the versions for the Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance. My favorite versions include Pokemon Crystal, Pokemon Ruby, and Pokemon Leaf Green.
