Unless you’ve been living in solitude for the past 18 years it’s fairly likely that you’re aware of a little franchise known as Pokémon. Pokémon Red & Blue came out on the Gameboy in 1996, but the franchise has come a long way since its handheld release, with the popular anime series, manga, home console games, toys, books and cards - which were the most addictive thing, and despite not knowing how to play the card game according to the rules, I still spent all my weekly pocket money on one or two smaller card packs.
By Luke Kirby Unless you’ve been living in solitude for the past 18 years it’s fairly likely that you’re aware of a little franchise known as Pokémon. Pokémon Red & Blue came out on the Gameboy in 1996, but the franchise has come a long way since its handheld release, with the popular anime series, manga, home console games, toys, books and cards - which were the most addictive thing, and despite not knowing how to play the card game according to the rules, I still spent all my weekly pocket money on one or two smaller card packs. Jump to present day and we have Pokémon X & Y, the sixth generation and the first Pokémon game for the Nintendo 3DS, now including a grand total 718 of the creatures. When I first saw screenshots and the trailer my first thought was that they are finally making progress with the franchise. Having not played Pokémon Y I won’t be able to comment on any major differences; the only difference I’m aware of is the Pokémon exclusive to each version.
