Pokémon began it's fame with the release of the dual part video game series Pokémon: Red and Pokemon: Blue for the original [[Game Boy]] system in 1995. There have since been various Pokemon releases across all Nintendo platforms.
The video game was the basis for the popular children's television show, Pokemon, and helped to spawn a large amount of merchandise, various movies (both theatrical and straight-to-DVD) and a successful trading card game.

Pokémon games feature violent animal fighting as well as a mischaracterization of evolution (single animals can not evolve, and obviously macroevolution is impossible).
