According to wiki, Pokemon was created by Satoshi Tajiri in 1995 and began as a pair of video games. Fast forward to 2016 when it has amassed over $37 million. Will Pokemon be retired? Not in the least, the future of Pokemon will continue to grow with the re-releases of Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow.
