Poketto Monstaa is what the full Japanese name is, but the Japanese people shorten it up and call it Pokemon. The huge fad was started two years ago in Japan by a video game named Pocket Monsters made by Game Freak Inc. and alongside the help of Creatures Inc. The fad hasn't died down any, and definitely shows no sign of doing so. 

The original release of Pocket Monsters was in the middle of 1995. The original releases of the game included the Red Version, the Green Version, and the Blue Version. The three versions of Pocket Monsters are not all the same. It is the same world with buildings in the same places, but the things different are the rarity of certain monsters and the positioning of items. For example, the Boro no Turizao (Old Fishing Rod) might have to be found by talking to a different man in the same city. For the example of the rarity of monsters, take for example Dogaasu. In Green he is kind of rare, in Red he is somewhat uncommon, but in Blue, he may not even be available! The idea was created in planning that children would have to trade with other people that have different versions in order to get all 150 monsters. Another interesting thing you can do is challenge your friend's monsters against yours to see whos is the best. The winner gets some of the opposer's Yen, and lots of experience for his monsters.
