do you like Pikachu? if you don't like him then get out of my site right now Japan has been taken over by monsters, and no, we don't mean Godzilla. The craze over Pok�mon (called "Pocket Monsters" in Japan) has spread from the Pok�mon Game Boy games to toys, clothing, cartoons and even snack food. You can't go anywhere in Japan without running into Pok�mon, and now, it's coming to America. Pok�mon appeals to many ages and types of fan, which is a big part of why it's so popular. Players enjoy the role-playing, collecting and trading aspects of the game, which make Pok�mon so unique. The primary goal in Pok�mon is to find, capture and train various monsters, all in an effort to become the world's greatest Pok�mon trainer. You'll choose one of three tamed "starter" monsters at the beginning of the game to help you capture other monsters. There are 150 monsters in 15 different categories. Each category will be based on a specific characteristic or element, such as water, fire, flora, etc. There's a catch, though: there will be two versions of the game, a Red version and a Blue version, and not all of the monsters will be on any one Game Pak. To collect all 150 monsters, you'll have to trade. In Japan, this monster-collecting feature has made America's trading card frenzy seem tame by comparison. Collecting the monsters is simply addictive -- but that's just the half of it! You'll be able to customize your Pok�mon by training them differently as they grow and evolve. For example, two fire-breathing Charmanders may end up with very different skills and abilities by the time they evolve into their most powerful forms. In addition to the launch of Pok�mon for the Game Boy this fall, Americans will also be treated to the Pok�mon animated series on TV. Fans of Japanese anime will especially love this series, which is a prime-time hit in Japan. The series is loosely based on the game's plot, following the exploits of a young Pok�mon trainer and his tamed Pok�mon, Pikachu. The show has already been picked up for broadcast in 86% of U.S. television markets, which means you probably won't have any problem finding it once it begins airing in the fall. Expect to hear a great deal about Pok�mon this year, especially here at Nintendo Power Source! | |||||||||||||||||||||||
