Pokémon was originally conceived by Satoshi Tajiri, as a way to instill in children of the modern, more urbanized Japan the same enjoyment that he felt as a young boy collecting insects near his hometown of Machida. Initially Capsule Monsters, CapuMon for short, Tajiri pitched the series to Nintendo due to the inspiration he drew from the link cable, picturing an insect crawling across it between two Game Boy systems.

With help from Shigeru Miyamoto, the series began development, with the concepts of the original games, Pokemon Red and Green, going into production between 1990 and 1995.

In Japan, Red and Green were released on February 27th, 1996. America received Red and Blue versions on September 30th, 1998.

The anime was released in Japan on April 1st, 1997, and released in America on September 7th, 1998.
