If you grew up in the 90's then you have definitely heard of Pokemon. The mega popular anime and card game that every little kid enjoyed. It's influence is so strong that even kids in 2011 follow the popular series. There are currently over 400 Pokemon and the list continues to grow. Even though, the list continues to grow there is a few Pokemon who stand out above all others.
One of the most influential Pokemon is Pikachu. The cute little mouse is the face of the brand and has won the hearts of kids and parents alike. Not only does it look adorable but it in the game and show it also packs quite a punch in battle.
Another character who is huge for the franchise is charizard. Charizard is a big, powerful, orange dragon that is considered the shows tough guy. Originally, charizard started out as a bad guy who was disobedient of its trainer but after Ash displayed his love for him, he became a good guy. The big dragon is also on the cover of one of their games for the game boy and is currently the #2 most popular Pokemon according to a 2008 survey. Additionally, charizard cards also continue to be one of the rarest and most expensive card types.
There is a lot of new characters in the franchise but the originals continue to be the heart of the brand. I also believe that they will continue to be a big part of series for as long as it lasts.
