Update: 2025-05-13
Description
In this episode, we rewind to the late 1990s, when a cultural tidal wave hit American shores, Pokémon. What began as a niche video game and trading card phenomenon in Japan quickly became a full-blown obsession in the U.S., captivating kids, confusing parents, and forever changing pop culture. We explore how Pokémon made its way across the Pacific, the marketing genius behind its U.S. launch, and the perfect storm of success and controversy that turned Pikachu and friends into household names.
