Pokemon's 15th Anniversary!

[Babebraham]

Today Marks the 15th Anniversary of Pokemon! It all started out on February 27th, 1996 when Pokemon Red and Green Came out in Japan! Now its time to celebrate it by sharing what you like about pokemon and what you think is going to happen next!

Here is a Little Picture to Celebrate:

15th? Pokemon is 15 years old now? it came out when I was two then.. O:
Damn, that makes me feel old now..

Happy Birthday, Pokemon :P

 

[Kirbychu]

I hope they do something special for the anniversary! Let's hope Pokemon is here for many more years!

Dang I must be getting old, since I saw Space Jam on this morning and it was from the same year. Congrats on the 15th Anniversary pokemon here is too many more years of Pokey awesomeness.

 

[Bluerang1]

Aww, Pokemon is 6 months younger than me :)

BW are coming out at a good time, I think the games' release is their celebration, - a change of environment.

Happy bday Pokémon :)
I'm actually pretty surprised they didn't put up an event Pokémon or something... I know about those Global Link things but a event Pokémon would fit better :disappoin

5 regions in 15 years. Imagine another 5 in 15 years!

Today's also my birthday! B&W should've come out today, for the Anniversary. It would have been a nice birthday present. XD

Wow, I'm only 2 days older than Pokemon. I was hoping for some event Poliwhirl or something but it doesn't matter. I wish Pokemon another 15 years of Pokesuccess.

15 years? Man, it's been a long time. Wonderful that Pokemon is still going strong, even now. :3

 

[PlatinumDude]

I hope they do something special for the anniversary! Let's hope Pokemon is here for many more years!

Wouldn't it be great to live in Japan? http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/?p=268

5 regions in 15 years. Imagine another 5 in 15 years!

Correction Troll to the rescue! 5 generations, not regions. Spin-offs introduced more regions.

 

[HinaBaby]

Wow, I was very small back then! :3 ..Happy 15th Anniversary!

 

[Sydian]

Pokemon is still a minor, so I can't date it...but happy birthday, Pokemon! Thanks for sucking up 13 years of my life! <333

Wow, it's honestly amazing how much prestige a game about battling monsters has received. 15 years and still going strong, not to mention bringing 200K+ people together on this forum, to celebrate it.
It honestly amazes me what a video game, albeit an addictive one has managed to do. Tajiri has certainly created a revenue-gaining monster of a franchise, just as I have created a lame pun.

Pokemon FOREVER.

In our hearts, and in our minds.

Wait, Pokemon came out in 1996? I could've sworn it came out in '95. :x
ANYWAYS, happy anniversary to Pokemon~ I find it amazing that after 15 years, Pokemon is still going, and is just as popular as it was when it began. That's nuts. O_o
