The release on Game Boy
Right from the outset, the game garnered immense success, selling millions of copies
On February 27, 1996, Nintendo released 2 versions of the game in Japan, Pokemon Red and Pokemon Green.
The versions differed in the set of pokémon, which motivated players to trade pokémon with each other.

A year later the games were released in the USA, and a couple of years later they reached Europe.
The main series of Pokemon games are RPG games. The player in the role of a pokemon trainer travels through a fictional world in search of pokemon. Cares for, raises, and prepares them for competition.
The trick of the project was the task set before the player to collect all kinds of Pokémon.
