Pokemon Cultural Impact
pokemon ruby pokedex
Pokemon have had a very important cultural impact in many countries where it has been imported. In Japan, Pokemon became popular, selling more than one million copies of Pocket Monsters in 1996. At the Tokyo Game Show in 1997, players could get the Mew Pokemon by downloading their games. The result was a queue that was 4 km, with some people camping overnight before the show. Arriving in the United States, the Red and Blue versions sold more than 200 000 units in two weeks, then continued to sell at an average of 800 000 units per month. Both versions were the best games sold by Nintendo. At that point in time they were the best-selling games in the history of video games. Pokemon Pinball was the game released on Game Boy and it sold even more quickly, with more than 262 000 units sold in 20 days. The series that was distributed by Hasbro toys were also commercial successes. As the television series grew in popularity, so did Hasbro which surpassed its main competitor, Mattel, in 2000. The games were so popular that Hasbro was unable to gather enough toys to satisfy demand. Wizards of the Coast had the same problem with the card game collectibles, and has sold over 50 million cards between January and March 1999. As of July, 1999, Pokemon had generated more than $ 5 billion.
The phenomenon also affected European countries, like France, where the Red and Blue versions were the best-selling games of 1999 and a million copies of each were sold as of June 2000, less than a year after its launch in France. The animated series was broadcast in several countries, including the United States, Australia, Japan, and Canada.

Pokemon Diamond and Pearl Sinnoh Electronic Pokedex Review
pokemon ruby pokedex
This particular Pokedex by Jakks Pacific (#59831) features all 151 Pokemon from the Diamond and Pearl Sinnoh Region, with fun electronic voice-overs and music featured throughout gameplay, with a twin screen and black and white display.
Mini Games Menu:
There is a good selection of games for kids, including:
1. Maze Game - Your objective is to find 10 Pokemon and escape the Sea Temple Maze. Top screen displays the maze. Using the bottom screen you choose which direction to go as it shows a moving closeup of pathways.
2. Who's That Pokemon? - In this game you have to guess what each Pokemon is by their number shown. You have a multiple choice of 3 answers, with a shadow image of each shown on top screen.
3. Which Doesn't Belong? - 3 different characters are shown one by one on top screen with numbers below. You need to work out which one isn't the same type. Even if you guess right or wrong, an explanation of each is given at the end of each round.
4. Pokemon Search, "Find the Pokemon" - You need to watch the Pokemon as they move around the screen and find where they are hiding. Each rounds gets harder, with more locations to find and memorize. One wrong move and you're out!
5. Who Would Win? - You are presented with 2 Pokemon on top screen one by one, with multiple choice answers below. You have to guess which one would have the advantage in a duel. After you choose and marked correct/incorrect, a full explanation is given of which one has greatest strength and why.
6. Pokemon Memory - You have 12 chances in this game (text displayed on top screen) to match Pokemon characters shown on bottom screen as Poke Balls. Each time you try to get a match their pictures are shown on top screen. Once you guess correctly, each pair then disappears off the bottom screen. Being a memory game fan as a kid, this was one of my favourite games.
7. Poke Ball Shuffle - Watch carefully as Pikachu hops into one of 5 Poke Balls and the balls shuffled on top screen. Use the arrow buttons to choose where Pikachu is hiding. If you guess wrong it shows where Pikachu was and asks if you want to play again.
Pokedex Menu:
Pokemon Gallery:
Features loads of useful information, consisting of all 151 Pokemon from the Diamond and Pearl Sinnoh Region. Select Pokedex from Main Menu, then "Pokemon Gallery" on menu to enter. Displayed one by one (starting from 001), with top screen displaying character image, name and number on bottom screen, listen to a voice-over description of name and type.
You can also select A to view more info, including:
View a full write-up of each character selected.
Evolution - explains with image display, what each character evolves into.
Weight and Height specifics.
Add to your collection - store your favourite characters.
Find a Pokemon:
Plenty of selection here. You can locate your Pokemon by number, letter, height, weight, type, number list, letter list, or collection. You can also add to your collection after viewing.
Options Menu:
Sound - Select volume control from 0 (no sound), up to 4 (loudest). The sound is fantastic, very clear, with female voice-overs throughout, and Pokemon themed music.
Contrast - There are 4 settings for contrast which can be changed separately on both lower and upper screens.
The other bonus is the Pokedex automatically goes into standby mode if left unattended to save on battery power.
Summary:
My Score: 8/10
Overall the Pokemon Diamond and Pearl Sinnoh Pokedex is a fun and informative electronic toy, with plenty of challenges, that I would recommend for kids. Simple gameplay, easy learning curve and controls, vibrant sound, gallery and other features would provide a long lasting investment.
The screen graphics are displayed in black and white, of which I've deducted 2 points off final score, as I feel a colour screen would make this toy perfect.

Pokemon Trainers not only want to catch them all but they also want to catalog them all too. And to do this, they need a . A Pokedex is a valuable tool to help Pokemon trainers identify the Pokemon that they find out in the wild. It's sort of an Electronic Encyclopedia of Pokemon. And since no one has time to read a tiny little computer screen in the middle of a Pokemon battle, the Pokedex can talk. Let's say you run into a wild Pokemon out in the tall grass. Hmmm, never saw one of them before, better consult the Pokedex. Just hold it at the Pokemon and it'll tell you what you've got.
