The End Of Pokemon's 20th Anniversary Is Nearing!

                                                         Overview

Pokemon's 20th Anniversary Celebrations are finally coming to a close as we near the end of December. It has been such a great year for Pokemon. More new players and fans came into the franchise alone than virtually any other year. The Pokemon GO craze sparked so much interest in the series that everyone was left wondering, what's Pokemon Company's next move? Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon of course! Today we're going over Pokemon's greatest accomplishments of 2016, their 20th Anniversary Year!

                                                  A Blast From The Past

                                        

Pokemon Company's nod to their first ever games Pokemon Red, Pokemon Green, Pokemon Blue , and Pokemon Yellow, we got a re-release of these games. Not a remake, a literal RE-RELEASE. Original GameBoy graphics and all. It was awesome for us veteran Pokemon players to relive our beloved games on the new hardware of the 3DS systems. The Pokemon Company also released new 2DS custom designs specifically for the theme each OG game. How awesome! It was even one of the most purchased games on the E-Shop.

                                                                       

                                                                       

                                    The Craze That Took Everyone By Storm

    

     

The world was not ready for what would become the most downloaded app on the App and Google Play Stores. Pokemon GO was a massive hit, but even Nintendo was a little iffy about a mobile app, but on July 6,2016; that all changed. Millions of people were downloading this app. Pokemon fans, Non-Pokemon fans, and Soon to be Pokemon fans flocked to the app. It was such an innovaive and new idea, you didn't have to be a Pokemon fan to enjoy it! This was definitely a highlight of 2016 on it's own

   Success As Big As The Sun And The Moon

                                     

Pokemon Sun and Moon are the smash hits of 2016 selling millions of copies on release night, and having the most pre-orders of any Pokemon game in history. They are the staple of the 20th anniversary of Pokemon, and the Pokemon Company wanted to end their year off with a bang. Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon take on a completely different approach to the Pokemon formula, no more Gyms or badges to collect, instead your put in a Hawaiian themed region, where you take on island challenges with your Pokemon.                              

                                                                         

Also with the addition of new Alolan Forms of our previous Pokemon from the Kanto region, a nod to Pokemon's 20th anniversary, and the addition of Z-Moves brings in more excitement to a battle! Honestly its been a great year, and I can't wait for what's coming next year!
