>in 1981, Satoshi Tajiri, a dude who loved video games, created a fanzine called Game Freak
>The magazine was of middling popularity, but made the company successful
>Then in 1990, Tajiri came up with an idea of capsule monsters, ie capmon, which would work perfectly with the game boy and their link cables
>during the early 90s, his company would make a few games, none of whom were released outside of japan (except Yoshi), and in 1995, he pitched the idea of his capmon to nintendo
>Being mentored by Shigeru Miyamoto, he proceeded to refine the idea into Pokemon, a title that nobody expected to really catch on
>Eventually, pokemon red and green were released to japanese audiences, and my god did it take off
>Today, Pokemon is literally the biggest franchise in the world, having sold over $100B in merchandise, games, TV episodes, memorabilia, cards, costumes, plushies, figurines, clothes, manga, movies...you name it
>All because of a pair of games made by a 30 year old in the 90s
>Approximately 15 years later, Pokemon was dominating 4chan's video game board, leading to some old dead guy to create a separate board just for pokemon
>this was /vp/
>Years later, a bunch of /vp/ shitposters decided to come together to make a shitpost hack.
>This...is that hack
1.3 is out finally, so it's time to play the new build. I absolutely love this hack.
This...is Pokemon Clover.
