Pokemon are fictional characters created by three companies – Nintendo, Creatures, and Game Freak. They are also known as Pocket Monsters in Japan. These creatures come in all shapes and sizes. They live in the wild or alongside humans and are meant to be captured by humans, known as Pokemon trainers. They are caught by the trainers to be trained to battle each other for sport.
