Pokemon is a media franchise owned by video game giant Nintendo
and created by Satoshi Tajiri around 1995. Originally released as a pair
of interlinkable Game Boy role playing video games, Pokemon has
since become the second most successful and lucrative video game
based media franchise in the world, falling only behind Nintendo's Mario
series.
Pokemon properties have since been merchandised into anime,
manga,
trading cards, toys, books, and other media. The franchise
celebrated its
tenth anniversary on 27 February 2006, and as of
1 December 2006,
cumulative sold units of the video games including home console
versions, such as the Pikachu Nintendo 64 have reached more than
155 million copies.

We all know how the Pokemon games took the world by storm about
10 years ago, but not many people know or care how the franchise is
doing nowadays. The surprising thing is that while the series popularity
has dropped, the games continue to sell extremely well. In fact, the
worst selling Pokemon game, Emerald version for GBA, still sells as
well as the worst selling Mario games, and it sells better than the majority
of Final Fantasy and Zelda games. So how has this franchise managed
to keep a strong foothold in the games market for so long
