The April 1996 issue of CoroCoro Comics went on sale about half a month after the release of Pocket Monsters Red & Green. How did the magazine cover the series? Not a whole lot. The original Game Boy games weren't overnight hits and so media coverage of the games was a bit restrained in the beginning. The first place anything Pokemon appears is in the monthly Tokoton Ranking, a listing of the month's most popular video games.

The game doesn't place in the Top Ten but let's check in on what was popular at the time anyway. List of Most Wanted Games First Place: Dragon Quest VI Second Place: Rockman X3 (Mega Man X3) Third Place: Super Donkey Kong 2 (Donkey Kong Country 2) Fourth Place: Super Momotarou Dentetsu DX Fifth Place: Street Fighter Zero Sixth Place: Kirby's Block Ball Seventh Place: Virtua Fighter 2 Eighth Place: Bahamut Lagoon Ninth Place: Romancing Saga 3 Tenth Place: Yoshi's Island Now I should point out that this isn't a list of the best-selling games or anything like that; this is just the games that received the most votes from the magazine's readers the previous month.

At the bottom of the page is a list of 'most anticipated games.' Pocket Monsters ranks in at number four.

First Place: Super Bomberman 4 Second Place: Mini Yonku Stallion (working title) Third Place: Super Mario RPG Fourth Place: Pocket Monsters Fifth Place: Kirby Super Star Sixth Place: Jikkyou Powerful Pro Baseball 3 Seventh Place: Final Fantasy VII Eighth Place: Excite Stage '96 Ninth Place: Super Mario 64 (working title) Tenth Place: Super Mario Kart R (working title) The red box over to the right highlights this new Pocket Monsters game: 'This is a Game Boy RPG where 150 monsters appear. Let's all trade pokemon!' Super informative! So the game didn't hit the charts right away. I'm sure it'll start picking up steam soon. On page 408 we get a single page talking about how to beat the first four Gym Leaders.

I won't bother translating this page since the strategies here aren't exactly mind-blowing (use electric attacks on Water-Types!) but I would like to point out that CoroCoro keeps referring to Ground-Type attacks as 'Earth-Type attacks' (大地系) for some reason. The text under the picture of Pikachu and Pippi there advertises the start of the new 'The Strange Pokemon Pippi' (ふしぎポケモンピッピ) in the April issue of CoroCoro Comics' sister magazine CoroCoro Special. 'The Strange Pokemon Pippi' is what Anakubo Kousaku's manga was called for the first half a year or so. The final appearance of Pocket Monsters in the April issue is this two-page advertisement for the aforementioned CoroCoro Comics Special. List of Most Wanted Games First Place: Super Mario RPG Second Place: Dragon Quest VI Third Place: Super Donkey Kong 2 (Donkey Kong Country 2) Fourth Place: Rockman X3 (Mega Man X3) Fifth Place: Pocket Monsters Sixth Place: Super Momotarou Dentetsu DX Seventh Place: Virtua Fighter Eighth Place: Derby Stallion 96 Ninth Place: Bahamut Lagoon Tenth Place: Kirby's Block Ball The text under the image there reads 'Which one do you want? Red or Green?' It then states that the game received 2,509 votes that month.

The big story in this issue, however, was the official reveal of the mythical pokemon Mew! In the January 2016 issue of, series producer Ishihara Tsunekazu was asked when he realized that Pocket Monsters was actually becoming a big hit. He talks about the games causing a shortage of Game Boy Link Cables for a minute before going on to talk about Mew: 'In addition, there were all these rumors that were spreading but only through word-of-mouth.

But then once media outlets like CoroCoro Comics started writing about them then everybody started to talk about how there seems to be a mythical pokemon named Mew. That moment, when these urban legends started to spread more and more, is when we realized that it had become a hit.' さらに当時はまだ口コミでしか広がってい なかった噂のようなものが、「コロコロコミック」などのメディアに載ることによって、「どうやら幻のポケモン、ミュウがいるらしい」といった話が、ある種 の都市伝説のようになっていきました。そういった都市伝説的な話題がどんどん広がっていったときに、ヒットを実感しました。 The CoroCoro Comics media Mr. Ishihara's talking about probably started with this. So the text splashed across the top of the two pages there are 'We're giving away the 151st pokemon in Pocket Monsters!'

Here's what the rest of the text on that first (right-most) page says: Purple arrow: Its name is Mew!! In reality, this pokemon is the newest species of pokemon recently discovered by Orchid-Hakase.

And you won't believe this, but you CoroCoro Comics readers out there will be able to get your hands on one! The green text bubble beside Orchid-Hakase: 'I'm also shocked!

To find out that a monster like this exists is a huge discovery. But even if you get really excited and search your own game cart for one you won't be able to find it. Oh, what's that? You want one for yourself? Well, I'll give one out only to you CoroCoro Comics readers!'

The purple text under Mew: Mew's Profile Name: Mew, Species: New Kind of Pokemon This is an extinct pokemon. It has a high intelligence and can remember anything. Yellow box at the bottom: What's that!?

This mythical pokemon will be given away to 20 lucky CoroCoro readers!! The top half of the second page says that it's impossible to capture Mew but hey, here are three pokemon that you can capture that can be kind of tricky! Those three are Kabigon, Strike, and Lucky.

The bottom half explains how you can enter the Mew Giveaway: Those of you who want the mythical 151st pokemon Mew should write the following on a postcard ① Address ② Name ③ What grade you're in ④ Telephone Number ⑤ The name of your favorite pokemon and why ⑥ The name of your least favorite pokemon and why.and then send it to the address on the left. Twenty lucky winners will receive a Mew of their very own! The application deadline is May 4th and the winners will be announced in the July issue of this magazine. Winners will be sent detailed instructions on how to send their game carts to Orchid-Hakase. Back in those days you had to physically send you game carts to Nintendo via the postal service in order to get a mythical pokemon added to your games. Can you imagine if that was still the case today!?

The only other presence Pocket Monsters had in the magazine was in these ads for the upcoming issue of the sister magazine CoroCoro Special which was going to feature the second chapter of Anakubo Kousaku's manga as well as a guide to all the pokemon and a set of silver-colored stickers: The franchise's presence in the magazine is only going to keep growing! List of Most Wanted Games First Place: Super Bomberman 4 Second Place: Super Mario RPG Third Place: Hoshi no Kirby Deluxe (Kirby Super Star) Fourth Place: Pocket Monsters Fifth Place: Rockman X3 (Mega Man X3) Sixth Place: Derby Stallion 96 Seventh Place: Dragon Quest VI Eighth Place: Excite Stage '96 Ninth Place: Super Donkey Kong 2 (Donkey Kong Country 2) Tenth Place: Tekken 2 The text under Pocket Monsters' entry reads 'If you let Kabigon get away once then you won't be able to catch it again!' Which is an outright lie, of course, but whatever. Next up are a couple of ads that feature Pocket Monsters. The full-color ad mentions that they'll be giving away 100 Mews (whose name they misspell, by the way) in the next issue of CoroCoro Comics even though they just gave away 20 of the things back in April.

The black-and-white ad says the same thing, name misspelling and all. There's also this ad a bit later on for a strategy guide to the games that features of Red, Green, and unnamed girl. CoroCoro Comics had a special hobby section (which is kind of weird considering the entire magazine is one big hobby section) and this month's section features Pocket Monsters merchandise. The first page (the cover) shows off these new 'Jumbo Cardass Chip Shooters' from Bandai, which just look like to me featuring pokemon characters.

The next page shows off a series of figurines, of which there are 30 in total. For toys made in the 90s they look pretty alright, I guess? The figurines feature data chips on them with one of only three elements - Fire, Water, or Grass - that appear to be assigned randomly to each pokemon. Pikachu's Grass now, for example, and Kabigon's Water. The figures are tiny enough that three of them can fit into a single Gachapon capsule. You 'battle' with your friends by hiding a figurine in your hand and then playing a game of Rock-Paper-Scissors, presenting the figure whenever you get to 'go!'

The 'type' of your figurine determines who wins the match. Instructions at the bottom of the page tell kids how to vote for which pokemon will be turned into a Gachapon figure next. The rest of the magazine is ads for game guides and the next issue of CoroCoro.

Unfortunately I don't have the next issue but I was able to get my hands on the issue that comes after! List of Most Wanted Games First Place: Super Mario 64 Second Place: Super Bomberman 4 Third Place: Hoshi no Kirby Deluxe (Kirby Super Star) Fourth Place: Pocket Monsters Fifth Place: Derby Stallion 96 Sixth Place: Nights Seventh Place: Excite Stage '96 Eighth Place: Rockman X3 (Mega Man X3) Ninth Place: PoPoLoCrois Monogatari Tenth Place: Treasure Hunter G The text under Pocket Monsters' entry this time? 'It seems like you'll be able to trade your monsters to Pokemon 2!' Pokemon 2 also makes it to Number 2 in the list of 'most anticipated games' at the bottom of the page with a total of 3,541 votes. So I'm guessing that at some point in the August issue - which came out in July - the fact that sequels to Pocket Monsters were in development was announced at some point? That's pretty fast! To put that in perspective, that would be like learning about Sun and Moon in April 2014, six months after the release of X&Y!

Can you imagine? Next up is an ad for the next month's issue of CoroCoro Comics that mentions that the next issue will come with a 'golden game stationary kit' featuring characters from Let's Go and Pokemon. An image of a constipated-looking Pippi from Anakubo Kousaku's manga is used to represent the franchise, for some reason. Page 150: Five Exclusive News Flashes for Pokemon Card!! The popular Game Boy game Pocket Monsters is becoming a card game. You must be looking forward to seeing what kind of game it'll be.

Pocket Monsters Card Game Value

This month we're going to introduce you to some really interesting cards!! 1) The pokemon can battle each other!! You can battle your friends in Pokemon Card just like you can in the Pocket Monsters Game Boy games. Defeat your opponents by using pokemon with a variety of attacks and skills!!

Use each pocket monster's unique attributes to decide which cards you should play!! 2) There are lots of different powers!! There are non-attack cards in Pokemon Card that are able to damage your opponent as well. There are a lot of powers and techniques but if you have a good balance of cards then you'll be able to win easily. Picture Caption: Some pokemon can change their weaknesses at will. This is the man-made CG pokemon 'Porygon.'

Orange Box at the bottom: 'Pocket Monsters Card Game' Maker: Creatures, Distributor: Media Factory. On-sale in late October. 102 different cards altogether.

One set includes 60 cards / price TBD. Expansion packs will have ten cards each / price TBD. Page 151: 3) Pokemon Cards Evolve!! Pokemon can level up and evolve into strong pokemon just like they do in the Game Boy games. To do this you have to place the appropriate evolution cards on top of the original.

Your pokemon gains new powers every time it evolves and is a great way to power up weaker creatures. Pikachu grows in two stages! Pikachu: It uses electricity to shock its opponents.

It's not all that strong. Evolution 2 Fushigibana: It's HP shoots way up and it becomes invincible. Its attack power is also high.let us just take a moment to enjoy how absurd the claim that Fushigibana 'becomes invincible' is for just a second, shall we? 4) It'll feature all-new artwork Twenty different illustrations that you can't see in the Game Boy games will appear in the card game.

It'll be fun to see a side of the pokemon you didn't notice in the games and to see the kinds of places they live. You can, of course, use these cards as Monster Cards. 5) Trainer Cards are super useful! These are cards that can help you in battle. Use them well to help turn the tables of the match.

Dousing Machine: Lets you bring back one card that's already been discarded. Pokemon Zukan: Lets you heal pokemon who have received damage. Computer Search: Lets you add one of your favorite cards.

Pippi Doll: Can be used as a Pokemon Card. Energy Retrieval: Lets you bring back two cards that you've already used up. Energy Removal: Lets you remove your opponents' energy cards. And at the bottom of the page is a short blurb advertising Anakubo Kousaku's Pocket Monsters manga despite it have absolutely nothing to do with the TCG. The very next page moves away from trading cards to talk about stickers. There's also a giveaway for a pokemon notebook at the bottom of the page.

I'm putting the word 'first' in quotations because the manga had already been running in CoroCoro Special for a number of months by this point under the title 'The Strange Pokemon Pippi' (ふしぎポケモンピッピ). This chapter, however, is the CoroCoro Comics debut of the manga and, as you can see, it receives a full-color title page. At the end of the manga chapter is this two-page 'Pockemon Club' section that catches readers up to speed on the plot-less manga they just read. Notice how they use the older 'pockemon' romanization that, if you really think about it, makes more sense? They also misspell Pikachu's name, something that would be absolutely unheard of today.

Toward the end of the magazine are two more ads for the next month's issue of CoroCoro Comics that more or less say the same thing that all the others said: Finally, CoroCoro Comics, like other manga anthology magazines, prints comments from the authors at the end of each issue. Let's see what Pocket Monsters artists Anakubo Kousaku has to say about his first chapter of the manga: 'Have you read my new manga? I'm waiting for your feedback!! Please look forward to next month. (Anakubo)'.and that's it for this month!

Pocket Monsters is really starting to pick up steam!! The first thing you see when you open the October 1996 issue of CoroCoro Comics is this build-it-yourself 'stationary set' featuring Let's Go and Pocket Monsters.

It's printed on cardboard stock and has perforated lines that allow you to detach the pieces. A how-to guide is printed later in the magazine. When you click on the images above to enlarge it you'll see that the pokemon they use to advertise the franchise for this particular set are Lizardon, Arbo, Eevee, Seadra, and Mew. How delightfully random!

Next up is this feature on the Trading Card Game which, according to this page, now has a set release date of October 20th, 1996. Here's a translation of the five main elements the magazine points out. The Pokemon Card Game is a battle game! Let's beat your opponents' monsters one by one by skillfully using various monsters' and attack items!

Pocket Monsters Card Game Price Guide

1) Your Deck You place 60 of your cards in a pile face-down and then draw them one by one. Your deck is the heart of your match. 2) Prize Card Place six of your cards face-down. You can take one card whenever you defeat one of your opponent's pokemon and the player who draws all their prize cards first is the winner. 3) Active Pokemon The pokemon / item that's actually battling at any given moment. In other words, it's the game's main character.

The battle begins when you attach Energy Cards to it! Even during battle you're able to use Energy Cards to have your pokemon trade places with one of the pokemon waiting off on the bench!

4) Bench This is where pokemon who are able to fight wait their turn. You can also attach Energy Cards to the pokemon while they're on the bench.

You can see what pokemon your opponent has on his or her bench and plan your strategy accordingly. 5) Hand The cards you draw from your deck become your Hand. You don't have to show these cards to your opponent so make that a part of your strategy as well. And here's the text in the green-ish box that features the Pikachu and Orchid-Hakase cards.

Use Pokemon Cards to Battle! The first wave will have 102 cards in all. There are a lot of different pokemon so do your best to figure out each one's abilities. Which pokemon will be your favorite?

Pikachu It's a pokemon who specializes in Electric attacks just like in the manga. Orchid-Hakase This powerful card lets you swap out all the cards in your Hand!

'Just like in the manga'.remember, at this time Anakubo Kousaku's Pocket Monsters was the only Pocket Monsters-related manga in existence! It was literally 'the' manga at the time! And finally, here's the text in the orange-ish scroll at the very left. List of Most Wanted Games First Place: Super Mario 64 Second Place: Super Bomberman 4 Third Place: Pocket Monsters Fourth Place: Hoshi no Kirby Deluxe (Kirby Super Star) Fifth Place: Super Mario RPG Sixth Place: Dragon Quest VI Seventh Place: Derby Stallion 96 Eighth Place: Saturn Bomberman Ninth Place: Tobal No. 1 Tenth Place: Street Fighter Zero 2 The text for Pocket Monsters this month says 'There will be over 200 pokemon in Pokemon 2!' Pocket Monsters 2 also retained its Number Two spot in the list of 'Most Anticipated Games' with 3,866 votes. The franchise's next appearance in the magazine came in these two ads.

The one on the left is an ad for the next month's issue of CoroCoro and features a giant pair of women's breasts, nipples and all. The 90s sure were a different time, huh?

The ad on the right is for some gashapon toys. Loadrunner 11 torrent. Next up is this feature on Pokemon Cardass, the awkwardly-named trading card series. There are two sets - a red set and a green set - and you can only get certain pokemon in certain sets just like in the games.

The feature on the left shows off the second wave of Gashapon pokemon figurines with some rather questionable sculpts. The rules for how to play with these are repeated from the. Next up are some more ads; the one on the left is for the next issue of the now-defunct Famitsu Bros magazine while the one on the right's an advertisement for next month's CoroCoro that tells us that the next issue will come with an exclusive Pikachu and Pippi TCG card.

Once we get to page 500 or so we're given a page explaining how to put together the stationary kit that was at the front of the magazine. You can use the cardboard pieces to play a board game and also they double as stencils? After that is an ad for the next month's CoroCoro because apparently they like having half the magazine be ads for the next issue for some reason. This ad is pretty much exclusively pointing out all the pokemon-related extras that'll come packaged with the next issue: there's the aforementioned Pikachu and Pippi TCG cards, a 'Pokemon Card Game Pre-Sale Victory Manual,' information about the second wave of Pokemon-themed Batomen, information about a new Pokemon battle pencil game, and an exclusive report on the upcoming Pokemon Cardass stickers.

Oh, and also information on the upcoming Pocket Monsters Blue version, the newest game in the series being released to celebrate Red & Green selling over a million copies! From what I can tell this ad right here is the very first mention of this game anywhere in this magazine which is really weird way to announce the first new game in a white-hot series like Pocket Monsters. Next up is the chapter of Anakubo Kousaku's Pocket Monsters manga that would eventually be released as the fifth chapter of the first volume, 'Search for the Mythical Pokemon Mew.' After that is an ad for, you guessed it, next month's issue of CoroCoro.

The rest of the magazine is just more ads, basically. The one on the left is for the next month's issue of CoroCoro Special and will feature two chapters of Anakubo Kousaku's Pocket Monsters manga, apparently. The one on the right is yet another ad for next month's issue of regular CoroCoro Comics. This one is kind of funny because it uses one of the janky 'pokemon' Mr. Anakubo created for his manga to help promote the franchise.

As we get to the end of the magazine we get some new comments from Mr. 'I'm really thankful for all the impressions and fan letters I got after the first chapter. I'll continue to do my best!

(Anakubo)' Finally, the back cover of the magazine features this art board (basically a piece of cardboard you put under your paper to avoid scratching whatever surface you're writing on) featuring characters from 'Pocke mon' in what is apparently the second in a series of three images. I'm a bit confused by this last part; the previous issue most definitely did not come with one of these art boards so I'm wondering when and where 'Part One' would have been released. The text at the top there challenges us to find all three legendary birds in this image.

They are good to be kept in an album. No one will afford to buy them for a high price. You might get a dollar or two for a rare card. Since they are out dated, it's better to keep them. Instead of selling them, you can keep them in the cupboard for a memory and pass it on to some other kid later. The price tags you see on the net are all real, but it will be just for the moment.

After selling them, you might get a feeling that you shouldn't have sold. Even I was in the thought of selling them before some years, glad I didn't. There are millions of sale tags on the net, only one or two will be sold in an year, that too for a minimal cost. And they are just paper. What you save is the memory of running to every shop everyday to collect each of them. If you are totally out of cash, you can post an ad on e bay. Some die hard fan might buy, but it's just 10 out of a 100 chance.
