Description

Pokémon is one of the biggest entertainment franchises of all time, and video games have always been at the heart of the series. From the nine generations (so far) of mainline RPGs to popular spin-offs such as Pokémon Go, Pokémon Snap, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, and digital editions of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, Pikachu and his pals have delighted millions of gamers for almost thirty years.

The History of the Pokémon Games offers an extensive guide to every title ever released in the franchise, from the original Red and Blue games that first made Pokémon a worldwide phenomenon to the latest outings for aspiring Pokémon trainers. And not just the main entries; this guide also covers rare and obscure titles, from Japan-only arcade machines to PC tie-ins that were only available with a certain brand of chicken nuggets.

With more than 150 games covered, including screenshots and trivia for each, and an informative and humorous writing style, The History of the Pokémon Games is an essential read for any Pokéfan. As Professor Oak said in 1996, a world of dreams and adventures with Pokémon awaits. Let's go.
