You may not know that Pok mon was created as a video game concept in Japan in 1996. A popular pastime of Japanese children is collecting insects. A Japanese businessman named Satoshi Tajiri-Oniwa thought that a game that revolved around collecting different kinds of animals would be a big seller, so he set out with the idea that soon became the multimillion dollar international marketing machine we all know and love (tolerate?) today. The original games were deceptively simple, with a certain quirky and endearing charm.
