A mediocre Japanese entertainment franchise for kids which started out as a Game Boy game, and later spawned a cartoon, comics, and trading cards. Was hugely popular in the 90s with young people until they reached puberty.
The original Game Boy game (Pokemon Red/Blue) wasn't bad for its time (though it was ultra-kiddie) and was fairly deep compared to most other hand-held games.
The TV show on the other hand is horrible, on par with old 60s Hanna Barbara cartoons like "Superfriends". Dialogue and voice-acting bad enough to make you weep, incoherent plots that make you wonder how high the writers were when they shat the episodes out, embarrassing attempts at humor which were completely funny and made the show's "serious" moments seem like a joke. You name it. Taking a shit would be more mentally stimulating than this show. Sadly (maybe due to the fact that it's one of the few shows that those without a single functioning brain cell can enjoy) this show is still on the air after 13 years, though its only fans now are 7 year old girls, virgins, and pedophiles who just beat off to the chick in the short shorts (the only enjoyable part of the show).
As for the card game, I never played it or any trading card game. So whether it was "good" or not I have no idea. Collecting and trading cards used to be a big part of the fad, but nowadays I think that it'd be cooler to admit you play "Magic" or World of Warcraft than to admit you still play Pokemon trading cards.

The success of franchises like Pokemon is inversely proportional to the average number of functioning brain cells in the pre-teen American population.

Get the Pokemon mug.A game that brain washes kids into emptying their pockets. Evil in its purest form. Hmm, I wonder why people want pokemon so bad? Maybe those creatures make good anal sex. The japs are laughing at you all.
*Be advised squad, we're on the lookout for a 15 yr. old male who is still obsessed, eliminate quickly and silently* So, your 15 yrs old, and your still playing a game designed to target 8 yr olds. Sad, so sad. Seems like we might have to put this one down. BOOOOM! Oh well, one less possessed demon pokemon lover. I love this job.
