Pokémon was launched in Japan in 1996 and is one of the most popular children's entertainment properties in the world. Pokémon are creatures of all shapes and sizes who live in the wild or alongside humans. For the most part, Pokémon do not speak except to utter their names. They are raised and commanded by their owners (called 'Trainers'). During their adventures, Pokémon grow and become more experienced and even, on occasion, evolve into stronger Pokémon. There are currently more than 700 creatures that inhabit the Pokémon universe.
