Knowing this, it might surprise some people that many Pokemon actually appear in the anime before they ever feature in a game. One would think that the anime, which often follows after the games release, wouldn't be introducing new creatures. But, it has happened dozens of times.
Pokémon actually started as a pair of video games published by Nintendo for the Game Boy in 1996. Known as Pokémon Red and Blue (although in Japan the games were released as Pokémon Red and Green), these games were followed up by some short stories.
Pokémon Origins is a spin-off anime television mini series based on Nintendo's Pokémon franchise. Unlike the ongoing television series, this 90 minute special features the settings and characters from the original video games Pokémon Red and Blue, and is largely more faithful to the games' mechanics and designs.
While the anime, trading card game, and other media certainly dominate the world as well, the games are by far the heavy-hitters in the Pokemon world. Knowing this, it might surprise some people that many Pokemon actually appear in the anime before they ever feature in a game.
Pokémon Generations is a 2016 animated original net animation series produced by OLM and released on YouTube by The Pokémon Company. The series consists of several short stories inspired by Nintendo's Pokémon video game series (from Generations I to VI), as opposed to its main television series.
Ash Ketchum ALMOST Owned The FIRST POKEMON EVER CREATED! (Pokémon Anime Trivia/Easter Egg)

In order to encourage fans to attend the park, they gave DS users a game called PokéPark: Fishing Rally DS. Despite this, like the musical, the amusement park was not around for long as both Japan and Taiwan's parks closed the year they were built.
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.
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.

In a February 2008 review for IGN, Jeffrey Harris gave the Indigo League series a score of 2 out of 10, saying: "Ultimately, the show's story is boring, repetitive, and formulaic.

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…
