Game overview/synopsis
Pokémon is one of the most popular game franchises of all time, having sold more than 279 million games since the original Red and Blue titles arrived in 1996.
The series involves catching, training and battling virtual monsters, and the games have always focused on the community, whether trading and going head-to-head with other players.
The competitive side of the game sees players training their Pokémon to the nth degree, and considering advanced tactics and strategies in order to beat their opponents. Pokémon typically features a rock, paper, scissors type approach, with fire Pokémon beating grass Pokémon, grass beating water and water beating fire, for example.
The latest traditional Pokémon games in the series are Sun and Moon, while in 2015 Nintendo launched Pokken Tournament, a fighting game based on the franchise, which has received some competitive play.
There is also the physical Pokémon Trading Card Game which has its own competitive scene, and augmented reality mobile app game Pokémon Go. Later in 2018, Pokémon Lets Go Pikachu/Eevee launched on Nintendo Switch.
