MY WORLD

20 YEARS OF POKEMON

The 27 February of this year was the 20th birthday of Pokemon! Was 20 years ago when you could buy the firsts games of Pokemon: Pokemon Red and Green. And now there are more than 60 Pokemon games and Nintendo still working in new games. In my opinion Pokemon is one of the greatest games ever, I've been playing on this series since I was a child, and I've never get tired of this kind of games! People says all Pokemon games are the same, but this is not true! Maybe the battle system is the same, but not the main story, or the GYM leaders ( People who you must defeat to prove your power ). There are several facts that keep the game alive, and not all the games have them, that's why some videogames stop being famous in few years. The most important are these:

THE COMMUNITY

A lot of people plays Pokemon games, and the most of players are proud of it. People who really loves this game have no problem to go into webpages like forums or social webs and share his experiences to other players. There are a lot of persons asking questions to veteran players to solve his problems or sometimes are the veteran players who ask about doing an online tournament with a big prize for the winner. It is like everybody is happy and makes the other players his friends, just for playing the same videogame! This kind of things create a strong community that will love this game even they don't play it.

THE RELATIONSHIP OF NINTENDO WITH THE COMMUNITY

Nintendo really loves their community. This company is not the typical who work just for getting benefits , it take cares of every single of his game to guarantee a good experience to the players. How do they do it? One of the things that like them a lot is creating events. The most famous Nintento events are like this : They choose a game, like Pokemon for example, and they give to the players a limited edition character that will not appear anywhere in years. Of course this is not the only thing they do, Nintendo has organized every year a Pokemon World Championship, where the best players of the world fight for the master Pokemon title.

ORIGINALITY

At the first game of Pokemon where just 151 pokemons to catch, now there are up to 720. There is a design team doing a great job in the Nintendo offices, creating new characters and skills for them. And not just the characters! All the pokemon world where the action is is also did by them: the structures of cities and towns, the landscapes of forests and seas ... I just think their job must be really hard, but his results are just spectacular.
