Supplemental context
Pokémon began with games and developed across multiple media, including cards and animation. This selection concerns the franchise rather than only the television series or trading-card game. Future readers can compare how collecting, exchange and familiar characters connect different media while still requiring separate versions and formats to be preserved.
Creator/community: Satoshi Tajiri, Game Freak and collaborating companies and creative communities Place/era: Japan; Pocket Monsters Red and Green released in 1996, followed by wider media development
Context and limits
The blank device, binder and television depict generic cross-media leisure only; no Pokémon character, card or game screen is reproduced. Tiny background book marks are invented. The live highest-grossing claim remains archival wording, not an independently verified current ranking or a grant of rights.
