Pokemon first exploded in Japan, and those cuddly-looking and fierce Poketto Monsut? (pocket monsters) soon made their way to North America. When Game Boy released those first, black and white Pokemon games, it's safe to assume that nobody could have predicted just how popular Pokemon would become. Time passed, original Pokemon fans grew up, but didn't outgrow Pokemon, and new fans joined the fun. The franchise grew. T-shirts, back backs, a television series, more games, posters, trading cards...the Pokemon craze seemed unstoppable.

And all those who thought that Pokemon was just a silly fad were proven wrong in 2006 when Pokemon celebrated its tenth anniversary. Known simply by Pokemon fans as Pokemon X, the important year was celebrated with all kinds of events. Nintendo hosted a video game championship for the best Pokemon masters. A select few trainers and their highly trained Pokemon competed using the Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness platform to win an awesome prize pack and the satisfaction of knowing they could count themselves among the best Pokemon trainers. Pokemon X also saw the release of new movies, posters, and games. Even though Pokemon X is now over, Pokemon fans can still enjoy the great Pokemon 10th anniversary products celebrating a decade of Pokemon fun.

Celebrate Pokemon X with your Favorite Pokemon Characters
So you're a big fan of the Pokemon series? Admit it; you've got a favorite monster. Is it Pikachu? We couldn't blame you if it was. As Ash's sidekick and a true star of the show, Pikachu is one cute and cuddly-looking Pokemon. But don't mess with him. He might just give you a 10,000 volt blast.

Maybe it's Charizard you like best. This fire-breathing, flame-throwing dragon is a powerful Pokemon capable of melting solid rock with his fire. But be careful. Forest fires have been known to start, um, spontaneously in his presence. Or could it be Jigglypuff, the round, pink ball that can sing songs that are so soothing almost everybody falls asleep the instant they hear them - Pokemon trainers included!

To celebrate Pokemon X, a series of videos featuring the most popular Pokemon of all time was released. Now you don't have to sort through your collection to find an episode featuring Squirtle or Lugia. Just pop in the video, sit back, and get re-acquainted with your favorite Pokemon. If you don't have a favorite, consider purchasing the Pokemon 10th Anniversary Edition - Slimpak. You'll find all of the most popular characters featured in this single edition. Better yet, collect all of the Pokemon 10th Anniversary Edition videos and be the envy of all your Pokemon-loving friends.

The Pokemon 10th anniversary really was a special year, no doubt about it.

No diehard Pokemon fan can resist a huge poster that lets everyone know that Pokemon is one thing that is here to stay. Pokemon 4ever and Pokemon Heroes are framed 11 x 17 posters featuring scenes from the Pokemon movies of the same name. They would make a perfect belated Pokemon X present for the biggest Pokemon fan you know, which might just happen to be you. Pokemon X: 10 Years of Pokemon is a CD featuring some of the most popular songs from the soundtrack of the series. Fans can celebrate the 10th anniversary of Pokemon and take the time to reminisce songs of the series.

If you're celebrating Pokemon X a little later than most, don't worry. Just grab The First Movie and Pokemon the Pokemon Heros Movie Poster Movie 2000 to take a trip down memory lane. They're sure to bring back some memories, and help keep the spirit of Pokemon and Pokemon X alive for another ten years, is there any doubt we'll all get together again to celebrate two decades of Pokemon action. Who knows? By that time you may even be looking for a Child's Pikachi Pokemon Costume for the newest Pokemon fan in your household. Just be sure to take some time to tell them all about the year long celebration that was Pokemon X.
