Before explaining any further, it must be known that the original Pokemon creator, was a man named Satoshi Tajiri. Born during 1965, Satoshi grew up in a rural area in Tokyo. As a child, his favorite hobby was bug collecting, which earned him the nickname "Dr.Bug," from his peers. As a teenager, he became fascinated with arcade games and soon Video Games, which later inspired him to become a video game designer. However, his fascination lead to skipping school, and other rebellious behaviors. Because of this, he retook his high school classes as an adult, and attended two year college.

Years later, as an adult, Satoshi witnessed kids from time to time, searching for bugs. Unfortunately, as he had grown, so had Tokyo. It had become a populated, industrialized city throughout the years, which had caused the bugs to migrate. In an attempt to allow children to experience his hobby, he began planning a game, where they would be allowed to capture these insects, and trade them through cables ( he had observed two children playing with Gameboys, linked through a cable). After proposing this idea to Nintendo (which agreed to the plan due to his corporation with a previous project), he began designing the game, and released it in the mid 1900s, under the name "Pocket Monsters" or "Pokemon."
