Gamepro issue 189 said:Q: I know Pokemon has been a big his for a while ("was" a big hit I suppose), and my friends and I wanted to know what started it all. What came first, the games, the cards, or the show? Just curious. And what is up with Wizards of the Coast still making new sets of Pokemon cards and games? Wouldn't they figure out by now that Pokemon was so three years ago?

A: "Was" a big hit? Think again. Pokemon Ruby and Saphire were the number 2 and 3 best selling games last year, beaten only by the mighty Madden. But to answer your question, the game came first, launching in Japan in 1996; levend states that it took game designer Satoshi Tajiri 6 years to fully workout all of Pokemon's elements. The TV show and card game followed with the hole phenomenon coming Stateside in 1998. Wizards still makes Pokemon cards for the same reason that Nintendo still makes Pokemon games -- People want 'em.
It doesn't take a genius to figure out what's wrong here... I've already emailed Gamepro to inform them of their mistake.
EDIT Hope you don't mind, I edited the post so the quote worked correctly
