In the early 1980s, video game enthusiast Satoshi Tajiri began writing and selling his own magazine series known as "Game Freak".

Game Freak was officially founded as a game developer in April 1989 and would work on a number of unrelated titles for the Famicom and Super Famicom from 1989 to 1994, effectively making them a second-party developer for Nintendo.


It would not be until February 1996 that Nintendo and Game Freak saw unprecedented success in Japan and overseas with the release of two games. ''Pokémon'' was introduced in Japan as "''Pocket Monsters''", a Game Boy JRPG that came in slightly modified ''Red and Green'' editions that both made then-original use of the Game Boy's link cable between separate systems in that, rather than being strictly used for competition, it was additionally used for trading between players. Nintendo did not expect these games to be a large success, even less so in the West than domestically, but the games - branded ''Pokémon'' outside of Japan - took both sides of the Pacific and Atlantic by storm and quickly established the series as a blockbuster, multi-billion dollar franchise. The main JRPG series paved the way for a merchandising empire, including an extensive anime continuity, several series of manga, a bestselling trading card game, spinoff video games touching upon many other genres, and a live-action feature film that received mixed-to-positive reception greater than any other video game-based movie at that point. ''Pokémon'' has become the second biggest-selling game-based media franchise of all time, only behind Nintendo's {{uv|Mario}} franchise; as of March 2013, cumulative sold units (including home console versions) have reached 245 million copies.<ref>http://press.nintendo.com/articles.jsp?id=40736</ref> As a direct result, ''Pokémon'' has been a mainstay in the Nintendo-centric crossover fighting games ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' since the series started in 1999.

The concepts of the ''Pokémon'' setting, in whatever incarnation it takes or what kind of media it is depicted in, stem from the hobby of insect collecting, which was a popular pastime which ''Pokémon'' executive director Satoshi Tajiri had enjoyed as a child. In most depictions of ''Pokémon'', humans of varying interests seek out and capture various and multiple species of Pokémon using specially designed mass-producible tools called [[Poké Ball]]s. In most cases, a Pokémon caught from the wild by a human willingly joins up with the human and obeys his or her spoken commands. Some catch and own Pokémon as friendly pets and lifelong companions and do not participate in any competitive activities with them. Others of a less savory nature, such as members of Pokémon crime syndicates such as Team Rocket, capture Pokémon and use them as living tools to advance their evil agendas. Most humans, however, including players of the ''Pokémon'' RPGs, take on the occupation of Pokémon training; they catch and collect Pokémon to train them and battle the Pokémon of other trainers in officially sponsored competitive Pokémon matches. There are never any lasting, bloody wounds or deaths incurred by the creatures involved, and seemingly never any hard feelings between winners and losers.

The two-stage object of most ''Pokémon'' RPGs is to collect all of the available Pokémon species in the region where that RPG takes place in, and from them train a winning team of powerful combat Pokémon to defeat the professionally trained Pokémon teams of that region's strongest trainers. The player's quest always takes him or her across the region to battle eight specialists in Pokémon training, that region's "gym leaders", and once eight commemorative badges have been gathered, the player may then go to the region's Pokémon League and battle an elite group of trainers - that region's Elite Four - and then battle the regional Champion to take the title. These five trainers, which must be battled one-after-the-other with little rest in between, are almost always the game's equivalent to any other RPG's "final boss" challenge. Pokémon captured from the wild with Poké Balls accumulate experience and learn new combat moves by battling many wild Pokémon and challenging other trainer's Pokémon to Pokémon matches, and whenever a Pokémon falls in battle ("knocked out"), it is easy to quickly and completely restore it to health, free of charge, by visiting one of many Pokémon Centers located throughout a region. Many species of Pokémon, when they gain enough experience and regardless of whether they are in the wild or under a trainer's ownership, undergo a metamorphosis and "evolve" into a similar, but larger and more powerful, species of Pokémon. Many of the 900 species belong to such lineages, and therefore many of the species of Pokémon are effectively different stages of what can be said to be several hundred "families" of Pokémon.

*[[File:PikachuIcon(SSB).png|50px|right|link=Pikachu (SSB)]]'''{{SSB|Pikachu}}''' ([[Starter character|Starter]]): Registered as Pokémon #025 in the games' National Pokédex listing, Pikachu was introduced in the first generation of the franchise as an Electric-type Pokémon that is 0.4 m (1'4") tall and weighs 6 kg (13.2 lbs). It is a yellow, vaguely anthropomorphic mouse-like species that stores electricity within pouches on its cheeks marked by red circular patterns, and is able to expel and shoot the electricity outward as its primary form of offense. It is regularly treated as the franchise's primary mascot, and is depicted and featured in virtually every ''Pokémon'' product, such as in the long-running anime wherein it is the favored partner of Pokémon trainer {{iw|bulbapedia|Ash Ketchum}}. As a not-fully-evolved species, it is not particularly powerful or durable in Pokémon battles in the RPG series by default, though it can evolve into the larger and more capable {{iw|bulbapedia|Raichu}}. The second generation introduced a younger "baby" form of Pikachu, [[Pichu]], which a Pikachu or Raichu may produce while breeding, and which may evolve into a Pikachu of its own. In ''Super Smash Bros.'', Pikachu is characterized as a lightweight combatant that can move around the battlefield with good speed and dole out fast attacks, and yet also possesses some strong attacks of its own. In competitive play, Pikachu is considered to be the best playable character of ''Super Smash Bros.'' for having many advantages, including an effective blend of speed and power, good combo ability, and an enormously far-reaching method of recovery.{{clr}}

It is a pink, fluffy, spherical creature with a hypnotic singing voice capable of literally putting those around to hear it to sleep, which it uses as its method of self-defense against foes in Pokémon battles and in the wild. A wild Jigglypuff was a recurring character in the first two generations of the ''Pokémon'' anime, and was prone to getting insulted whenever its audience would fall asleep from its songs and would vandalize their faces with a marker. Much like Pikachu, Jigglypuff is weak in Pokémon battles in the RPG series. It has an evolved form named {{s|bulbapedia|Wigglytuff}}, and a baby form starting in the second generation named [[Igglybuff]]. In its at-the-time-unexpected debut as a playable fighter in ''Super Smash Bros.'', Jigglypuff is the lightest and floatiest character, and has various similarities to {{SSB|Kirby}}, including the ability to jump multiple times in midair. While it lacks a variety of attacks with good knockback, it has a lethal trump card in the form of its [[Rest]] ability. This is not enough, however, for it to be considered one of the better characters competitively.{{clr}}
