Happy 20 years, Pokémon

On this day 20 years ago, the first two Pokémon games Pokémon Red and Pokémon Green were released for the GameBoy in Japan.  Since then over 17 core series games, countless spin-offs, 18 movies, various anime series, manga, merchandise and much, much more has been released globally and there’s still more to come.

The series itself has become an icon over the last 20 years and its popularity is still growing to this day, with Pokémon Sun and Moon promised to be the biggest and greatest games to date. So here’s to Pokémon. For the last 20 years and to the next 20. Here’s to the adventure of our lives we’ve taken alone, with friends and with the world. For all the relationships we’ve created and to those we’ve yet to.

Here’s to you Pokémon. Happy 20th Anniversary, from everyone at PokéJungle.net

  1. You know it’s speculation time when people randomly start using red/orange and blue objects in the games as signals towards more information about Sun and Moon.

          • It goes
            Sproot Grass
            Eleplant Grass
            Ginormount Grass/Rock

            Eleplant’s body is bigger and the collar ruff thins out while those spots on each cheek develops into a tusk
            It’s legs get rougher and the ears are tattered with a rough line of hide grows on the back

            Ginormount is gigantic in stature, it’s thick stone like skin armors this magnificent creature and even grows moss, it’s trunk is longer and its tusks jut out with power to crumble a forest, it has a massive rocky hump like one of those Indian festival boxes and the ears are large and broad

          • I know you love ground types, but what would be the ultimate animal that would perfectly resonate from that typing?

          • Well as I said the only logical choice for this particular typing leads to only a Mud Wrestling Pig

            But nonetheless I have more perfect Ground Types right here

      • The Grass Peacock would have a beautiful tail plumage consisting of leaves and petals
        The Fire Ox/Bull would have a red hot temper with flames sizzling out tiny holes in its horns
        And the Water Newt’s large fin tail and long squirming body allows it to swim at top speeds even up river and who knows those purple spots could end up being poisonous

        • Please use it, I can see a tiny peachick with jade and blue feathers, three little antennae thingies
          And it’s tail has long grassy leaves and a few petals

          It’s evo it gains its flying feathers and its tail gain more definition, honestly it just gets a adolescent quail body

          Finally it’s final for a powerful set of wings and its tail is a everblooming Bouquet, it’s streamline body allows it to fly warm breezes as it scatters pollen from its tail, and it gains a ritzy feathery crest

  3. I was wondering where the articles are where we would dig up our memories. The one about Red and Blue was posted (as a part 1), but there are none after that.
