About Pokemon

Pokemon was first released in 1996 and is set up in a world where humans catch monsters and store them in pocket-sized poke-balls.

They are creatures with an affinity to certain elements and some superhuman abilities related to that element.

Revolving around a teenage boy Ash Ketchum, Pokemon takes us through his journey to becoming the most accomplished Pokemon trainer the world has ever seen.
