Pokémon (ポケモン, Pokemon, /ˈpoʊkeɪˌmɒn/ POH-kay-mon) is a media franchise owned by The Pokémon Company, and created by Satoshi Tajiri in 1995. It is centered on fictional creatures called "Pokémon", which humans known as Pokémon Trainers catch and train to battle each other for sport.
The franchise began as a pair of video games for the original Game Boy, developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo. The franchise now spans video games, trading card games, animated television shows and movies, comic books, and toys. Pokémon is the second-most successful and lucrative video game-based media franchise in the world, behind only Nintendo's Mario franchise.
The franchise celebrated its tenth anniversary in 2006. Cumulative sales of the video games (including home console games, such as Hey You, Pikachu! for the Nintendo 64) have reached more than 200 million copies. In November 2005, 4Kids Entertainment, which had managed the non-game related licensing of Pokémon, announced that it had agreed not to renew the Pokémon representation agreement. Pokémon USA Inc. (now The Pokémon Company International), a subsidiary of Japan's Pokémon Co., now oversees all Pokémon licensing outside of Asia. As of 2013, the Pokémon media franchise has grossed revenues of ¥4 trillion worldwide (equivalent to US$37.76 billion). The brand earned $2 billion in 2014 alone.
The Pokémon Company (株式会社ポケモン, Kabushiki gaisha Pokemon) is a company that is responsible for marketing and licensing the Pokémon franchise. It was established through joint investment by the three businesses holding the copyright on Pokémon: Nintendo, Game Freak, and Creatures. It began operating in 1998 and adopted the moniker Pokémon Ltd. in 2000. The company is headquartered in the Roppongi Hills MTower in Roppongi Rokuchome, Minato, Tokyo.
The company has separate divisions that handle operations in different parts of the world, with The Pokémon Company International supporting the territories outside Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. In South Korea, the operations are handled by Pokémon Korea, Inc.
The company's operations began in 1998 with the opening of the Pokémon Center store in Tokyo, before the actual trademark of "Pokémon, Ltd." was established in 2000. Since then this branch has been marketed as The Pokémon Company. The United States branch (Pokémon USA, Inc.) opened in 2001 to handle licensing overseas.Nintendo Australia does all licensing and marketing of Pokémon products in Australia and New Zealand, as The Pokémon Company does not have an Australian branch.

~This is about my Minimize Drifblim Baton Pass Doubles Strategy~ The Volunteers for the PAX Pokemon tournament were doing everything right, I feel they were properly handling every situation, a certain Pokemon employee was outspoken that the PAX enforcers didn't know what they were doing. The Pokemon Company tries to promote fairness to everyone so they enjoy Pokemon and want to continue playing it. At the PAX Pokemon Tournament, a worker for the Pokemon Company called me out specifically and changed the rules to have me lose out of bias against my opinions. Timer Stall came into play at an unofficial tournament at PAX Prime, it should not have been an issue, but it was made a problem to single me out exclusively. He said that Timer Stalling was legit, but the rules in play show that it is...

Is a New Pokemon Game for the Nintendo Switch the chance to make an official Pokemon Simulator? I was trying to think about how the Pokemon Company and Gamefreak could make an Official Pokemon Battle simulator. Would the New Pokemon Game for the Nintendo Switch be something like a simulator from the past or would it be a full Pokemon Simulator for the New Pokemon Games? Does this kill the spirit of Pokemon for the sake of competitive Pokemon battling? Is this letting the Pokemon cheaters and hackers win? No matter what the pokemon company does, a lot of people will be pissed off.

breaking hearts, breaking bones
breaking into your home
breaking arms, breaking legs
follow orders, breaking heads
meet me at the usual place
no a hundred yards down the road
just following orders kid
I just do as I'm told so
scream if you wanna
I'm the only one that's gonna hear
beg if you wanna
I'm the only one that's gonna hear
cry if you wanna
I'm the only one that's gonna hear
and I promise I won't tell
walk into the boss' mansion
make his funeral closed casket
except for me and you
not a dry eye in the room
but the tears won't be sincere now
these bullets justify the end
hope the company is with me
