Is a media franchise owned by video game giant Nintendo and created by Satoshi Tajiri around 1995. Originally released as a pair of interlinkable Game Boy role-playing video games, Pok¨¦mon has since become the second most successful and lucrative video game-based media franchise in the world, behind only Nintendo's Mario series.[1] Pok¨¦mon properties have since been merchandised into anime, manga, trading cards, toys, books, and other media. The franchise celebrated its tenth anniversary on 27 February, 2006, and as of 1 December, 2006, cumulative sold units of the video games (including home console versions, such as the "Pikachu" Nintendo 64) have reached more than 155 million copies.[2] The name Pok¨¦mon is the romanized contraction of the Japanese brand, "Pocket Monsters" (¥Ý¥±¥Ã¥È¥â¥ó¥¹¥¿©`, Poketto Monsut¨¡?),[3] as such contractions are very common in Japan. The term "Pok¨¦mon", in addition to referring to the Pok¨¦mon franchise itself, also collectively refers to the 493 fictional species that have made appearances in Pok¨¦mon media as of the recent release of the newest Pok¨¦mon role-playing games (RPGs) for the Nintendo DS, Pok¨¦mon Diamond and Pearl. Like the words deer and sheep, the singular and plural forms of the word "Pok¨¦mon" do not differ, nor does each individual species name. In November 2005, 4Kids Entertainment, which had managed the non-game related licensing of Pok¨¦mon, announced that it had agreed not to renew the Pok¨¦mon representation agreement. Pok¨¦mon USA Inc., a subsidiary of Japan's Pok¨¦mon Co., now oversees all Pok¨¦mon pikachu
