Pokemon! Pokemon! Classic Game Room presents CGR's ON THIS DAY IN GAMING! On August 28, 1965, Satoshi Tajiri, the man behind the Pokemon phenomenon of the late '90s and early 2000's, evolved from embryo to infant. Founding the company Game Freak, his unique concept of collection and partnership in a game would turn Pokemon Red and Blue -- as the series' first incarnations -- into the greatest selling RPG's of all time, and begin a frenzy of media tie-ins, including the animated series and trading card game, that would become the talk of grade school playgrounds worldwide.
