Major Game Anniversaries in August 2018

Pokemon Red and Blue (North America) – 20th Anniversary

One of many gamers’ all-time favorites released in North America 20 years ago this month. The first Pokemon games, Red and Blue, had already released in Japan, but us in the West were introduced to the series on Sept. 28, 1998. We all know the story now, as you pick a starter Pokemon and travel through the Kanto region to beat the Elite Four and become the very best like no one ever was.

The Pokemon Let’s GO games that are due to debut in Switch later this year follow the same story, and will inevitably bring back memories for every Pokemon fan. Also, Pokemon Yellow, the game that combined the structure of Red and Blue and the story of the popular anime show, released in Japan on Sept. 12, before coming to the West just over a year later.
