Pokémon, one of the world’s most beloved franchises, celebrated its 30th anniversary Friday.

On Feb. 27, 1996, Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue were released on the Nintendo Game Boy in Japan, marking the introduction to the colourful “pocket monsters.”

From there, the name exploded into a worldwide phenomenon, producing even more video games, countless movies, a long-running anime, highly-sought-after trading cards and a plethora of adored characters, like Pikachu and Charizard.

The Pokémon Company marked its third decade with a slew of announcements and teasers, including a first look at the franchise’s upcoming tenth generation of video games – Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves, which were revealed as 2027 releases.
