In 1989, Satoshi Tajiri, along with the help of Ken Sugimori and Junichi Masuda, went on to create the company Game Freak Inc. The company would soon become responsible for one of the world’s most popular video game series, Pokémon.  Tajiri, was inspired by his childhood in Japan catching insects and tadpoles near his home and by Nintendo’s latest hand held GameBoy. He based the game around collecting, training, trading, and battling small creatures. By February 27, 1996, Japan was catching all 151 of the original Pokémon, today, that number spans to more than 721.
The game quickly skyrocketed to fame, leading to anime and manga artists to be inspired by the game to create series following the characters and their journeys catching Pokémon. The series is one of the longest running anime. The orginial series from Japanese artist (Insert name) stared a young ten-year-old Satoshi, named after the game originator, and two of his friends. Satoshi was later renamed Ash Katcum in the English versions.  Its growing list of characters makes it incredibly easy to continue following Ash and his friends as they venture to become Pokémon masters.
Following the success in Japan, the company released a version of the game as well as the anime series to North America in the next year.
