In 1996, Pocket Monsters Red and Green debuted in Japan, with Blue following soon after. The Western market had to wait a few years, but eventually, Pokemon made its international gaming debut, launching a phenomenon that is still going strong. As lucrative as the IP has been on multiple fronts, Pokemon will always be primarily associated with Game Freak’s Nintendo RPGs. The original titles debuted toward the end of the Game Boy’s life cycle, and they were very impressive considering the limitations of that console. While the GBC releases expanded nicely on their predecessors, the GBA Pokemon games took things to another level.
