Pokemon has been one of the most popular video games ever released since it began with Pocket Monsters Red and Green in 1996. First released on the Nintendo Game Boy, Pokemon is now available on the Nintendo DS, 3DS, and Switch console, as well as on mobile devices with the augmented reality game Pokemon Go. Players enjoy battling opponents, discovering and collecting new Pokemon, and the exciting storylines.
