Quick summary
Pokemon came from a surprisingly sad period of Japan's history — the healing boom following an economic crisis. But that inspiration made the game what it is today. Find out how a late '90s wellness craze created Pokemon.
What we know so far
Automatic note by LuaCat Games, built from what we know about the coverage (who reported it, how many sites, the story’s history) — not a translation or copy of the source.
So far, only Polygon is talking about this — if confirmation shows up, it’ll be added here. Few names pull a crowd like Pokémon. The previous Pokémon trailer came out 18 days before this story.
Bottom line: Better wait for someone else to confirm before taking it as a given.
