Pokemon is a relatively new TV show, aimed at younger kids, but I am seventeen and I love it! It's a Japanese cartoon about a ten-year-old boy, Ash Ketchum, who wants to become a Pokemon master. There is also a Pokemon Game Boy game.
Pokemon are creatures that have special powers and are often used to battle each other. Pokemon trainers travel around the world, catching Pokemon in Poke balls, and fighting their Pokemon against other trainers' Pokemon.
To become a Pokemon master in the Game Boy game, you must catch all 150 Pokemon and defeat all the gym leaders and the Elite Four. Gym leaders are the head trainers at Pokemon gyms, where Pokemon are trained and battles take place. The eight gym leaders in the Pokemon League in the game are: Brock (Boulder Badge), Misty (Cascade Badge), Lieutenant Surge (Thunder Badge), Erica (Rainbow Badge), Koga (Soul Badge), Sabrina (Marsh Badge), Blaine (Volcano Badge), and Giovanni (Earth Badge). The Elite Four are the four best trainers in the League. They are Lorelei, Bruno, Agatha, and Lance. When you beat the Elite Four and your rival Gary, you win the game.
In the TV show, the main character is Ash Ketchum, a boy who lives in Pallet Town. After Ash turns ten, he goes to Professor Oak, a local Pokemon researcher, to get a Pokemon to start his Pokemon journey with. He arrives late, though, on the special choosing day, and Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle have already been taken. (Those three Pokemon are easy to train, and they're the ones trainers usually start with.) But luckily Professor Oak has one more Pokemon left, the adorable electric mouse, Pikachu! So Ash gets Pikachu and leaves Pallet Town to start his journey.
At first, Pikachu is uncooperative, and won't obey Ash. Ash tells him to fight a Pidgey so he can capture it, but Pikachu won't do it. Then Ash throws a rock and hits a Spearow, which gets angry and calls its flock of friends, who all start to attack Ash and Pikachu. Ash and Pikachu run, and soon they come to a waterfall. They have no choice but to jump, and then float down the stream away from the Spearows. A girl named Misty rescues them from the river, but then the Spearows come and Ash "borrows" Misty's bike to get away from them. Finally the Spearows catch up when he falls off the bike, and Ash and Pikachu lie injured as the Spearows prepare to attack. Ash faces them bravely, but right before the Spearows can attack, Pikachu pulls himself up and uses a powerful electric attack to defeat them all. Misty's bike is destroyed in the process, but Ash and Pikachu are safe. That is the plot of the first episode.
Later Misty catches up with them at the Pokemon center in Viridian City. (A Pokemon center is a hospital for sick or injured Pokemon.) Misty finds them there and demands that Ash pay her back for her broken bike. Ash doesn't have the money, though, and Misty ends up following him on his journey. She pretends she's just waiting for him to pay her back, but it becomes clear later on that she has a crush on Ash.
In later adventures, a boy named Brock joins Ash and Misty, and Ash catches more Pokemon. First he gets a Caterpie, then a Pigeotto, then Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle. Caterpie is like a big caterpillar, Pigeotto is like a pigeon, Bulbasaur looks like a dinosaur with a plant bulb on his back, Charmander is a lizard with fire on the end of his tail, and Squirtle looks like a cute little turtle. The Pokemon's names sound like what they look like, and the only thing Pokemon can say is their name or parts of it. Ash later captures a Krabby (a cute little crab-like Pokemon) and a Muk (a Pokemon that looks like a slimy pile of sludge).
Later in the Pokemon show, a group of bad guys called Team Rocket enter the plot, and they spend the rest of the series (so far) trying to capture Pikachu. Team Rocket is made up of a girl named Jessie, a boy named James, and a Meowth that can talk just like a human. There are other Team Rocket members, like Giovanni (the boss) and Butch and Cassidy. Even later in the show, Brock leaves and a new character named Tracy (a boy) takes his place.
Another aspect about Pokemon is that they "evolve". When Pokemon of a "basic form" get strong enough, they magically turn into a different (and stronger) kind of Pokemon. So far, Ash's Charmander has evolved into Charmeleon and then Charizard. His Pigeotto has evolved into a Pidgeot, and his Caterpie evolved into a Metapod, then a Butterfree. Pokemon can have multiple stages of evolution.
Pokemon is in its third or fourth season, and kids everywhere seem to love the show. There have been two Pokemon movies so far, Mewtwo Strikes Back (Pokemon the First Movie) and The Power of One (Pokemon 2000).
There is tons of Pokemon merchandise on the market. The Pokemon slogan is "Gotta catch 'em all." There are Pokemon plastic battle figures, Game Boy games (red, blue, yellow, gold, and silver versions), trading cards, school supplies, beach towels, bedsheets, etc. Practically everything you can think of!
The Pokemon TV show is an action-packed adventure series that is of the fantasy genre. The animation isn't top-rate, but the idea and the plot make up for that. It is on the WB (Warner Brothers) channel Monday through Saturday mornings, and afternoons on Monday through Friday, in the Eastern and Central Standard Time zones.POKEMON RANGE IN SIZE FROM INSIGNIFICANT TO ENORMOUS.
