Pok้mon Red & Blue which hit the Japanese market a couple years ago, turned out to be one of the biggest games ever to hit Japan. Japanese kids and adults alike bought the game and the merchandise so quick that Japanese stores couldn't even keep them on the shelf. Japanese TV soon noticed Pok้mon as being the next Japanese Anime hit. Pok้mon the TV show turned out to be a huge hit with kids 7-13 and even older. For a while it seems that nothing could stop Pok้mon until one episode there was very bright flashing lights which brodcasted through the TV, made over 100 kids have seizures. That incident only slowed Pok้mon down, for a little while. Nintendo of America soon took notice and met with Gamefreak about translating and shipping Pok้mon Red/Blue to America. Gamefreak eagerly said yes, and soon there after it was released in the US along with one of the toughest video game advertisements plans ever to hit America. Pok้mon Red & Blue broke multiple Gameboy records as being one of the hottest selling games of '98. Nintendo is now working on a sequel, Silver & Gold.
