Welcome to the new

thread!

In this thread we discuss all things pokemon. Team stratagems, portions of the game, how to evolve certain types, etc.

For those of you who live under a rock and don't know about one of the best games of all time:

PokÃ©mon (ポケモン, Pokemon?, IPA: /ˈpoʊkeɪmɒn, ˈpɒkimɒn/) is a media franchise owned by the video game company Nintendo and created by Satoshi Tajiri around 1995. Originally released as a pair of interlinkable Game Boy role-playing video games, PokÃ©mon has since become the second most successful and lucrative video game-based media franchise in the world, behind only Nintendo's own Mario series.[1] PokÃ©mon properties have since been merchandised into anime, manga, trading cards, toys, books, and other media. The franchise celebrated its tenth anniversary on February 27, 2006, and as of April 23, 2008, cumulative sales of the video games (including home console versions, such as the "Pikachu" Nintendo 64) have reached more than 180 million copies.[2]

The name PokÃ©mon is the romanized contraction of the Japanese brand, "Pocket Monsters" (ポケットモンスター, Poketto Monsutā?),[3] as such contractions are very common in Japan. The term "PokÃ©mon", in addition to referring to the PokÃ©mon franchise itself, also collectively refers to the 493 fictional species that have made appearances in PokÃ©mon media as of the recent release of the newest PokÃ©mon role-playing games (RPGs) for the Nintendo DS, PokÃ©mon Diamond and Pearl. Like the words deer and sheep, the singular and plural forms of the word "PokÃ©mon" do not differ, nor does each individual species name; in short, it is grammatically correct to say both "one PokÃ©mon" and "many PokÃ©mon". In November 2005, 4Kids Entertainment, which had managed the non-game related licensing of PokÃ©mon, announced that it had agreed not to renew the PokÃ©mon representation agreement. PokÃ©mon USA Inc., a subsidiary of Japan's PokÃ©mon Co., now oversees all PokÃ©mon licensing outside of Asia.[4]

As I'm sure most of us know there are 493 of these guys so to list them all would probably take all day so I will post a couple of links that I have found useful in completing my pokedex (I'm up to 260; nowhere close to being done):
