Take a nostalgia trip through each generation in time for Pokémon’s 25th anniversary
Pokémon has captured the hearts and minds of many since the release of Pokémon Red and Green in Japan back in 1996. These humble beginnings included a now-modest roster of 151 Pokémon and took place in the pixelated, black and white Kanto region.
Since then, over 120 games featuring Pokémon have released around the world, bringing the total number of obtainable monsters to an incredible 898. The steadily increasing number of Pokémon has made the game’s catchphrase “gotta catch ‘em all!” an increasingly difficult task over the last 25 years. Despite this, dedicated fans have managed to accomplish the great feat with each new release.
