 The popularity of the franchise also led to an {{pkmn|anime}} series based on the games, [[EP001|premiering]] in Japan on April 1st, 1997. The main character was a young [[Pokémon Trainer]] named ''Satoshi'' (after [[Satoshi Tajiri]], later dubbed in English to [[Ash Ketchum]]), based on {{ga|Red}}. Another character introduced in the first episode was Satoshi's [[rival]], ''Shigeru'' (after [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], later dubbed in English to [[Gary Oak]]), based on {{ga|Blue}}.
-The anime quickly became very popular, and soon a manga series based on it named [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] was written by [[Toshihiro Ono]]. The {{vol|The Electric Tale of Pikachu|1|first volume}} of the series was first published on October 28th, 1997. The more famous manga in the western world, however, is [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{PAV|1|the first volume of which}} was first published in Japan on August 8th, 1997. This is the longest running manga in Pokémon history, as it is still ongoing today, over thirteen years later. Several other manga series were published in that era, including ''[[Pokémon Zensho]]'' and [[Miho Asada]]'s [[Pokémon Get da ze!]].
