The answer to this question is actually very simple. The anime came first, it started airing in 1997 while the games series Super Smash Bros. was launched in 1999 which means that not only did the anime come before the game’s release, it also has a longer run time than its gaming counterpart.
The Pokémon anime started in 1997, one year after the original game released in Japan. Those handheld classics celebrate their 20th anniversary this week.Mar 2, 2016

Who made the Super Mario game?
Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of Nintendo's other most popular franchises, Super Mario and The Legend of Zelda, also helped bring this game to life. In fact, if it weren't for him, Nintendo would not have worked on the game at all and would have missed one of their biggest opportunities.
How did Satoshi Tajiri come up with the idea of trading bugs with other Game Boy users?
When he was a child, Satoshi Tajiri enjoyed playing with bugs. When he saw the Game Link Cable, an accessory used for the Game Boy, he came up with the idea of trading bugs with other Game Boy users. The Game Link Cable allowed two Game Boys to connect and was used for gamers to play with each other prior to Nintendo having wireless and online multiplayer modes. It took six years for the game to release after Nintendo and Miyamoto agreed to work on the project. The hard work and patience paid off when Pokémon released and fans loved it.

Team Rocket tries the latest scheme to catch Pikachu or whatever else, and fails miserably." He concluded: "at the end of the day, this franchise feels more like crass marketing t…

Players are designated as Pokémon Trainers and have three general goals: to complete the regional Pokédex by collecting a…
