The Idea
1989–1996
Before there was a Pikachu, there was a shy Tokyo kid catching beetles in the fields outside the city. Satoshi Tajiri's arcade fanzine grows into a studio, and a six-year gamble nearly sinks it before a single cartridge ships.
- Apr 21, 1989MILESTONE
  The Game Boy launches
  Nintendo's grey brick comes with a Link Cable port that almost nobody uses for anything but Tetris. Tajiri sees two machines connected by a wire and imagines living creatures crawling through it.
- Apr 26, 1989MILESTONE
  Game Freak becomes a company
  Tajiri and illustrator Ken Sugimori turn their hand-stapled arcade fanzine Game Freak into a real development studio — Sugimori will go on to draw every one of the original 151.
- 1990GAME
  "Capsule Monsters" is pitched
  Nintendo rejects the pitch repeatedly, but Shigeru Miyamoto champions it and mentors the project. A trademark snag later renames it Pocket Monsters — and Miyamoto suggests releasing paired versions to encourage trading.
Kanto
1996–1999
After six years in development the games launch quietly at the end of the Game Boy's life — then a hidden monster, a playground rumor mill and a TV show turn a slow burn into the biggest media franchise on Earth.
- Feb 27, 1996GAME
  Pocket Monsters Red & Green launch in Japan
  Two versions with different catchable species, so completing the Pokédex means trading with a friend over a Link Cable — the social hook that defines the series to this day.
- Apr 1996MILESTONE
  The Mew legend ignites
  Programmer Shigeki Morimoto had secretly squeezed a 151st monster into leftover debug space. CoroCoro magazine offers Mew to just 20 contest winners, playground rumors do the rest, and sales curve upward instead of fading.
- Oct 15, 1996GAME
  Pocket Monsters Blue
  An upgraded third version arrives as a CoroCoro mail-order special. Its polished engine and sprites later become the base for the international Red & Blue.
- Oct 20, 1996TCG

  The first TCG expansion prints in Japan under Media Factory. The card game will go on to sell tens of billions of cards worldwide and become a pillar of the franchise in its own right.
- Apr 1, 1997ANIME
  The anime begins
  Satoshi — Ash in the West — sets out from Pallet Town with a Pikachu that refuses its Poké Ball. The show promotes Pikachu from one monster among 151 to the face of the entire brand.
- Dec 16, 1997ANIME
  The Porygon incident
  A rapid flashing sequence in episode 38 sends hundreds of children in Japan to hospitals. The anime goes dark for four months, and broadcast standards for flashing effects change across the industry.

  Mewtwo Strikes Back
  The first feature film becomes Japan's highest-grossing domestic movie of 1998 — a monster-of-the-year debut for a series barely two years old.
- Aug 1, 1998GAME
  Pocket Monsters Stadium
  A Japan-only N64 experiment with just 42 of the 151 species fully modeled. Its expanded successor ships worldwide as "Pokémon Stadium" — which is why Western Stadium numbering runs one behind Japan's forever.
- Sep 8, 1998ANIME
  The dub goes West
  The English dub launches in US syndication, three weeks before the games arrive — the one-two punch that detonates Pokémania across America.

1999–2002
Conceived as the grand finale — Satoru Iwata's legendary compression work freed enough cartridge space to fit the entire previous region into the postgame.
- Jul 17, 1999FILM
  Revelation Lugia
  The second movie brings Lugia to the screen a full year before it appears in any game — films start acting as previews of what's next. The West sees it in summer 2000 as Pokémon the Movie 2000.
- Nov 21, 1999GAME
  Gold & Silver
  A real-time clock with day and night, breeding, held items, shiny Pokémon, 100 new species and the Dark and Steel types. Beat Johto and the whole Kanto map opens up — a postgame the series has never topped.

  Latios and Latias guard Alto Mare, a canal city lovingly modeled on Venice — the last Pokémon film to play US theaters for fifteen years.
