While often cited as a “kid’s game,” the Pokémon series, with its lighthearted
themes of friendship and wonder, are still able to resonate with players of all ages.

themes and settings as well. As the beginning of a pseudo-Renaissance of the Pokémon
series, this game will stand in the series’ history as one of its greatest.
