Some things never grow old. Think of classic Thunderbirds, your favorite (and maybe a little cringy) 80s hairband and even Pokémon. The beloved franchise — rich with over 38 mainline games, the anime, a trading card series and more — has been an essential part of pop culture since 1996. And this Pokémania is still going strong today, particularly around the Pokémon Go game. You may remember the craze of this augmented reality mobile game that launched in 2016.
