Pokémon Centers, the official Pokémon outlets, sell a wide range of original merchandise available only at those locations, which we vary by season. We require that licensees perform end-to-end quality control, and support them in creating products that are more unique and fun. In our licensing and product development business, we consider our licensees to be important business partners.

Over the years we have received hundreds of thousands of proposals, and we carefully review each one. At the Pokémon Company, we review, supervise, and grant permission for Pokémon product, service, and event concepts and designs on a weekly basis.

It now extends to video games, trading card games, television shows and animated films, comic books and toys like Pokémon Figures and Pokémon Plush. Pokémon began with two Game Boy (the original) video games, developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo. The copyright of the franchise is shared by the three companies, but Nintendo is the sole owner of the trademark. The franchise is run by The Pokémon Company, a Japanese consortium between Nintendo, Game Freak and Creatures. Pokémon (Japanese: ポケモン) is a media franchise created by Satoshi Tajiri in 1995. There are currently over 700 creatures in the Pokémon universe. As the Pokémon grow and gain experience, they occasionally evolve into stronger Pokémon. Pokémon are caught, raised and trained by their owners (called "trainers"), to battle each other for sport. Most of the time, Pokémon do not speak, except to pronounce their names. Pokémon are fictional creatures of all shapes and sizes that live in the wild or alongside humans.
