Pokemon in Japan

Japan has a lot of anime competition. Where as in the US... Pokemon is one of the strongest franchises based on anime/game.

old and new fans rejoice in this wonderful creation.

But I heard that in Japan, even adults play Pokemon and watch the show still.

In Japan pokemon is much bigger than it is here.
In Japan McDonalds has a contract with game freak to produce as many pokemon themed toy sets a year as it likes. And this is finally happening here, as of next week McD's is going to have pokemon toys in it's happy meals.

Their doing this in the U.S. soon.

If I read right, Pokemon Black and White got 2 million pre-orders. That is a lot.

Pokemon is just as popular in Japan as it is in the States / every other part of the world. If anything, its probably more popular in Japan.
