Similar to the popularity of manga and anime, Pokemon is one of the most popular versions of that. While it is primarily a video game, it has also been expanded to an anime. It has become an integral part of our culture as much as it is part of Japanese culture. Many of my friends will say that Pokemon was their childhood and were almost obsessed with it. Now, you're odd if you don't like Pokemon, it's really become a huge pop culture icon in my generation. New Pokemon games are still being made as are other Pokemon merchandise and Pokemon Red is so popular and rare that it sells for almost $300 on Amazon. Even for me, Pokemon is so part of American culture that I forget it was made in Japan.
