Release date: November 21, 2002 (in Japan)
In the 90s Pokemon blue and Red burst onto the scene as an innovative series of monster-collecting RPGs. This was followed by gold and Silver Versions that built on everything that made the first versions great and added a ton of new creatures and features. But with the release of Gen III games, ruby and sapphirereleased in Japan in 2002 and everywhere else the following year, Pokemon cemented itself as a series that went nowhere. Based on the sheer volume of spinoffs, sequels and remakes that have followed, yes I think bagDominion is here to stay. — Ari
