With help from [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], the series began development, with the concepts of the original games, {{game|Red and Green|s}}, going into production between 1990 and 1995. At last, in early 1996, the first games in the series were released, and Tajiri's dream had become reality. Though compared to other games of its time, Pokémon was very limited, with comparatively poor graphics and sound, the series was an overnight success, and Red and Green were quickly followed by an upgraded [[third version]], {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}}.

In 1998, a pokemon strategy game called Pokemon Stadium was introduced. The basic gameplot was to use pokemon to win tournaments and receive cups. This game was released for the Nintendo 64, but got a lot of criticism. So in 2000, Pokemon Stadium 2 was made for the Nintendo 64 (again) and was improved. It had all 151 pokemon of the first and second generations. What's more, it supported the three Game Boy and the three Game Boy Colour games, through a location in the game called the Game Boy tower.


An {{pkmn|anime}} was produced, with the intention of covering the journey players took through the [[Kanto]] region in the games over the course of a year and a half. About halfway through this run, however, tragedy struck, and [[EP038|an episode]] of the anime was found to be responsible for {{wp|epileptic seizure}}s for more than 600 children due to a flashing strobe effect. No one died of these seizures, and after a brief hiatus to address the problem, the anime returned to the air to complete the Kanto run.

The [[Generation V|current generation]] of the franchise constitutes a "reboot" similar to that of the third. The highly anticipated {{game|Black and White|s}} are set far away from the previously released games in a region based on {{wp|New York City}} called [[Unova]]. Initially in the game, only new Pokémon introduced in this generation are available before beating the [[Pokémon League]], forcing veteran players to rethink old strategies. The games do have the capacity to connect to older games, however, and maintain the international connectivity introduced in the fourth generation. The anime series, Trading Card Game and some manga series have already embraced the new generation with new releases of tie-in media. Announcements about any future games in this generation are yet to be made.

Around about the time of generation three, four and five, a new type of pokemon games were released. They were known as the Pokemon Ranger games. The most prevailing ones are [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Ranger_(Ranger_series) Pokemon Ranger Guardian Signs and Pokemon Ranger Shadows of Almia]. The gameplot of each ranger games make the player a pokemon ranger, which means that they can capture pokemon, rescue pokemon and protect nature with the help of legendary pokemon. In the anime series and pokemon movies, rangers have been seen. The [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/M09 Pokemon Movie Nine] has a ranger called [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Jack_Walker Jack "Jackie" Walker], trying to retrieve a pokemon egg.
Another type of pokemon games were developed during this time, known as the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series. It features the player playing as a pokemon in a different world. The anime incudes the special episode 420, Team Go-Getters Get Out Of The Gate!, etc. Only one Pokemon Mystery Dungeon game was made for Game Boy Advance-Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Red Rescue Team. Its partner, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Blue Rescue Team was made for the Nintendo DS. They were both released on 17 November 2005 in Japan, and on 28 September 2006 in Australia. Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Time/Explorers of Darkness were soon released first on 13 September 2007 in Japan, and 4 July 2008 in Australia. Soon after that, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Sky came out on 18 April 2009 in Japan, and 20 November in Australia. Explorers of Sky was basically an improvisation of Explorers of Time and Darkness. As the Nintendo Wii got popular, Japan decided to include pokemon games in wii, launching three mystery dungeon games (Keep Going! Blazing Adventure Squad!, Let's Go! Stormy Adventure Squad!, and Go For It! Light Adventure Squad!) on 4 August, 2009.
The Pokemon Rumble Series started out in 2009, when Pokemon Rumble was available on WiiWare. It required the player to control their pokemon through some dungeons and battle to gain attacks and recruit more pokemon. The Pokemon Rumble Blast game was released in 2011 as an improvisation to the original. It manipulates the use of toy pokemon, thus altering the look of pokemon slightly. The Nintendo Power gave the game a score of 7.5/10, while IGN gave it 6.5/10.
