From its humble origins on the Gameboy in the late 90s to a multimedia phenomenon spanning manga series, a trading card game, anime series and films, and so much more, Pokémon is near and dear to 90s nostalgia. We're breaking down what makes Pokémon special, how we first discovered it, how our fandom has evolved over the decades, and playing a game trying to guess their names now that the roster has expanded from the original 150 to over 1000 today.
