Most people should know what Pokémon is, and if you don't you must have been living under under a rock or in a coma or something. Nintendo of Japan created this craze but in Japan it is called Pocket Monsters, Pokémon for short. Three gameboy games were created for Pokémon which were Pokémon Red, Blue, and Green. Pokémon Red and Blue were brought to North America and were transated into english but but Green was not for reasons that I don't know about. Later on they created Pokémon Yellow featuring the most popular and well known pokémon, Pikachu. There are also a games called Pokémon Pinball, Pokémon the Card Game (TGC), and Pokémon Gold and Silver are coming to North America this fall. There are also the Pokémon cartoon show, the card game, movies, books, and tons of toys.

Basically, pokémon are these creatures that live in the world of pokémon and they have powers of certain elements and types. These pokémon can evolve into larger beings and have new and more powerful attacks. Pokémon battle with each other to see which ones are stronger in a variety of categories, such as strength and speed. When pokémon evolve they usually stay as the same type but get bigger and stronger and look a little different. But as these examples below show you that some pokémon evolve into completely different and new types. The pictures below show show an Eevee, a Vaporeon, a Jolteon, a Flareon, an Espeon, and a Umbreon.
