The+Everlasting+Influence+of+Pokemon



Pokemon has influenced many other anime shows, card games, and video games, including Digimon and Yu Gi Oh. It has caused the Japanimation craze in the United States to further increase, along with other cartoons, such as Sailor Moon. Pokemon was one of the only anime crazes that became a T.V. show, movie(s), video game(s), and a trading card game, unlike Digimon and Yu Gi OH. Besides being the first new type of anime of its time, Pokemon has also been the most successful and the most well known. It started a trend of animes that contained monsters who belonged to trainers and fought against each other. This trend would be followed, and slightly altered, in later years by many more companies trying to profit off the idea originally created by the Pokemon company. Pokemon was perhaps the biggest trend of the late 1990s and the early 2000s among children of all ages and even some adults. It wwas the first and is the biggest and best anime craze that has been seen in America making millions of dollars and gaining new fans everywhere. Pokemon can even be found in politics as you can see in the video of Barack, Hillary, and Mccain in a Pokemon battle for president.
