The Pokémon Phenomenon
It was in 1996, when the super-exciting Pokémons were let off the Poké balls for the first time. The host of cute, cheerful, loving creatures were soon embraced by people across cultures and geographies. Almost three decades later, the Pokémon have become one of the world’s most popular pop-culture icons. From cartoons and comic strips to animation films and video games, they are almost everywhere.
Pika Pika Pika!
Among hundreds of Pokémons with different characteristic traits and special powers, Pikachu has managed to stand out. It has become the face of the widely celebrated franchise, with Pikachu merchandise selling like hotcakes in every nook and corner of the planet. Thanks to their rare abilities, Pikachu has been instrumental in making the ambience ‘electrifying’ for the Pokémon universe. At a time when there’s growing buzz around gender neutrality, the portrayal of Pikachu becomes even more interesting, as it’s 50% male and 50% female in nature.

Catch Them All!
A couple of years ago, the game Pokémon Go created a sort of pandemonium as kids, teenagers and even young adults were carried away with the irresistible urge to catch Pokémons at random places. It also speaks volumes about the astounding popularity of the Pokémon games.
The Pokémon Company International (TPCI) recently revealed that two new Pokémon games, Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet, will be released this year on the Nintendo Switch. It has been learned that the players will get the chance to explore the Paldeia region, full of lakes and mountain ranges. Naranja Academy or Uva Academy will await the gamers with a range of surprises.
These two new Pokémon games will also unlock the brand-new ‘Terastal Phenomenon’ feature, which will enable Pokémons with extraordinary powers along with a ‘Tera Jewel’. In addition to this, there would be new gameplay features like ‘Poké Portal,’ ‘Union Circle’ and ‘Tera Raid Battle.’
