The Pokémon franchise has come a long way since the release of Generation I in 1996. Beginning as handheld games for the Nintendo Game Boy, it quickly expanded into a trading card game, manga, and long-running anime, before hitting global markets. Now it is the highest-grossing media franchise in the world, and the original 151 Pokémon have blossomed into over 1000.
