These generations are roughly chronological divisions by release ; when an official sequel in the main role - playing game series is released that features new Pokémon , characters , and possibly new gameplay concepts , that sequel is considered the start of a new generation of the franchise . The main games and their spin - offs , the anime , manga and trading card game are all updated with the new Pokémon properties each time a new generation begins . The franchise began its seventh generation with Pokémon Sun and Moon , which were released worldwide on November 18 , 2016 . First generation ( 1996 -- 1999 ) The original Pokémon games are Japanese role - playing video games ( RPGs ) with an element of strategy , and were created by Satoshi Tajiri for the Game Boy . These role - playing games , and their sequels , remakes , and English language translations , are still considered the `` main '' ' Pokémon ' games , and the games with which most fans of the series are familiar . The Pokémon series began with the release of Pocket Monsters Red and Green for the Game Boy in Japan . When these games proved extremely popular , an enhanced Blue version was released sometime after , and the Blue version was reprogrammed as Pokémon Red and Blue for international release . The original Green version was never released outside Japan . Afterwards , a second enhanced remake , Pokémon Yellow , was released to use the color palette of the Game Boy Color and more of a stylistic resemblance to the popular Pokémon anime . This first generation of games introduced the original 151 species of Pokémon ( in National Pokédex order , encompassing all Pokémon from Bulbasaur to Mew ) , as well as the basic game concepts of capturing , training , battling and trading Pokémon with both computer and human players . These versions of the games take place within the fictional Kanto region , though the name `` Kanto '' was not used until the second generation . Spin - off first - generation titles include Pokémon Pinball ; an adaptation of the Pokémon Trading Card Game for Game Boy Color ; an on - rails photography simulator for Nintendo 64 titled Pokémon Snap ; a Nintendo 64 Pokémon - themed adaptation of Tetris Attack , Pokémon Puzzle League . A 3D Nintendo 64 incarnation of the handheld RPGs ' battle system , Pokémon Stadium ; and a co-starring role for several species in the Nintendo 64 fighting game Super Smash Bros ... At the Nintendo Space World in 2000 , a game was revealed briefly with Meowth and Team Rocket singing a song . This was one of the earliest introductions of the Pokémon Togepi and Bellossom . This game was called Meowth 's Party , but was never turned into a playable game . Instead , the song / video was played at the end of one Pokémon episode , and a CD was made for retail in Japan for a limited time . Second generation ( 1999 -- 2002 ) The second generation of Pokémon video games began in 1999 with the Japanese release of Pokémon Gold and Silver for the Game Boy Color , with Australia and North America getting the game in October 2000 and European release date of April 2001 . Like the previous generation , an enhanced version titled Pokémon Crystal was later released . This generation introduced 100 new species of Pokémon ( starting with Chikorita and ending with Celebi ) , for a total of 251 Pokémon to collect , train , and battle . New gameplay features include a day - and - night system ( reflecting the time of the day in the real world ) which influences events in the game ; full use of the Game Boy Color 's color palette ; an improved interface and upgraded inventory system ; better balance in the collection of Pokémon and their moves , statistics and equippable items ( a new addition ) ; the addition of two new Pokémon types ( Dark and Steel ) to better balance the strengths and weaknesses of each Pokémon ; Pokémon breeding ; and a new region named Johto . After exploring Johto , the player can travel east to explore the adjacent Kanto region . Spin - off games in the second - generation include Pokémon Puzzle Challenge , the adaptation of Pokémon Puzzle League -- a puzzle game created by Zoppf industries -- made specifically for the Game Boy Color ; the Nintendo 64 pet simulator Hey You , Pikachu ! ; the Pokémon Stadium sequel , Pokémon Stadium 2 , for Nintendo 64 ; several Pokémon mini-games for the e-Reader ; and a co-starring role for several Pokémon species in the Super Smash Bros. sequel Super Smash Bros. Melee for the GameCube . The Pokémon mini was a handheld game console released in December 2001 in Japan and 2002 in Europe and North America . This generation started an unofficial tradition among even numbered generations , giving the Pokémon Eevee new type evolutions beyond the original three of the first generation . Third generation ( 2002 -- 2006 ) A screenshot of Pokémon Emerald featuring an enemy Pupitar and Solrock fighting in a double battle against a player 's Aggron and Smeargle Pokémon entered its third generation with the 2002 release of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire for Game Boy Advance and continued with the Game Boy Advance remakes of Pokémon Red and Green , Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen ( Red and Green representing the original Japanese first generation games ; territories outside Japan instead saw releases of Red and Blue ) . An enhanced remake of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire titled Pokémon Emerald followed after . The third generation introduced 135 new Pokémon ( starting with Treecko and ending with Deoxys ) for a total of 386 species . It also features a more visually detailed environment compared to previous games , `` natures '' which affect Pokémon stats , a new 2 - on - 2 Pokémon battling mechanic , a special ability system applying to each Pokémon in battle , the Pokémon Contest sub-game , the new region of Hoenn , the ability to select the protagonist 's gender and Secret Bases : customizable `` rooms '' where the player can display items they have collected in game and battle against real friends . Secret Bases can be found in bushes , trees or small cave openings in landscapes by using the Pokémon move , Secret Power , which can be taught to virtually all pokémon . However , this generation also garnered some criticism for leaving out several gameplay features , including the day - and - night system introduced in the previous generation ( which was removed due to internal - battery save problems ) , and it was also the first installment that encouraged the player to collect merely a selected assortment of the total number of Pokémon rather than every existing species ( 202 out of 386 species are catchable in the Ruby and Sapphire versions ) . Third - generation spin - off titles include Pokémon Pinball : Ruby & Sapphire for Game Boy Advance ; Pokémon Mystery Dungeon : Blue Rescue Team and Red Rescue Team for Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS ; Pokémon Dash , Pokémon Trozei ! and Pokémon Ranger for Nintendo DS ; Pokémon Channel and Pokémon Box : Ruby & Sapphire for GameCube ; and two RPGs for the GameCube , consisting of the games Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD : Gale of Darkness . Fourth generation ( 2006 -- 2010 ) In 2006 , Japan began the fourth generation of the franchise with the release of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl for Nintendo DS . The games were subsequently released in North America on April 22 , 2007 and in Australia on June 21 , 2007 . The game was then later released in the UK and Europe on July 27 , 2007 . Other main series games in the fourth generation include Pokémon Platinum , a director 's cut version of Diamond and Pearl in the same vein as Pokémon Yellow , Crystal , and Emerald . It was released for the Nintendo DS in Japan on September 13 , 2008 , in North America on March 22 , 2009 , and in Australia and Europe on May 14 , 2009 and May 22 , 2009 respectively . It was also announced that the Generation II games Pokémon Gold and Silver would be remade for the Nintendo DS as Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver . First released in Japan on September 12 , 2009 , the games were later released to North America , Australia , and Europe during March 2010 . The fourth generation introduces another 107 new species of Pokémon ( starting with Turtwig and ending with Arceus ) , bringing the number of Pokémon species to 493 . This generation is the first to have 3D graphics in a main series game , although it is still a mixture of both 3D graphics and sprites . New gameplay concepts include a restructured move - classification system , online multiplayer trading and battling via Nintendo Wi - Fi Connection , the return ( and expansion ) of the second generation 's day - and - night system , the expansion of the third generation 's Pokémon Contests into `` Super Contests '' , and the new region of Sinnoh , which has an underground component for multiplayer gameplay in addition to the main overworld . Secret Bases also appear in Sinnoh but can only be created and housed in Sinnoh 's underground . HeartGold and SoulSilver also introduced the Pokéathlon to the Johto region , which consists of many Pokémon based sporting events making use of the stylus . Spin - off games in the fourth generation include the Pokémon Stadium follow - up Pokémon Battle Revolution for Wii ( which has Wi - Fi connectivity as well ) , Pokémon Ranger : Shadows of Almia and Pokémon Ranger : Guardian Signs for Nintendo DS , Pokémon Mystery Dungeon : Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness and their sister game , Explorers of Sky all for the Nintendo DS , and a co-starring role for Pikachu , Jigglypuff , Lucario , and a Pokémon Trainer ( who uses Squirtle , Ivysaur , and Charizard for fighting ) in the 2008 Wii fighter Super Smash Bros. Brawl . Fifth generation ( 2010 -- 2013 ) The fifth generation of Pokémon began on September 18 , 2010 with the release of Pokémon Black and White in Japan . They were then released in North America , Europe , and Australia in March 2011 . They were released on the Nintendo DS , the same console as its predecessing generation . The games take place in the Unova region . New features include the C - Gear , a feature where players can use Wi - Fi options and customizations ; two new battle methods ( `` Triple Battles '' , where three Pokémon are sent out at once , and Rotation Battles , where three Pokémon are also sent out at the same time , but the trainer can switch one Pokémon out of the three that are present ) ; `` Battle Tests '' , where trainers battle each other to see who has stronger Pokémon ; the Pokémon Musicals ( similar to Pokémon Contests ) , which have trainers use their Pokémon to dance in a theater with other Pokémon ; and the ability to never waste Technical Machines ( TMs ) , even when found the first time . This generation introduced a total of 156 new Pokémon ( beginning with Victini and ending with Genesect ) , the most of any generation so far . It was also the first generation where the first new Pokémon in National Pokédex order ( Victini ) is not a starter . It also introduced another new feature , the seasons , from which two Pokémon ( Deerling and Sawsbuck ) represent them . Unlike previous generations , which would introduce some species of Pokémon that were evolutionary relatives of older - generation Pokémon , the fifth generation 's selection was all - original , in an attempt to make the primary versions feel like a brand - new game . The other core series games , and the additions to Black and White , titled Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 , are direct sequels . They take place in the Unova region two years later , and were released in Japan on June 23 , 2012 and in North America , Australia , and Europe in October of that year for Nintendo DS . They are somewhat different of their predecessors ; there are different protagonist trainers , and many of the other important characters have changed as well . The games also introduced a new feature , the `` Pokémon World Tournament '' , where trainers can battle gym leaders and champions from older regions , including Unova . The games also broke the tradition of releasing a third version as the addition to the primary versions . Spin - off fifth generation games include sequels Pokémon Rumble Blast and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon : Gates to Infinity for Nintendo 3DS , PokéPark 2 : Wonders Beyond for Wii , and Pokémon Rumble U for Wii U , a downloadable game . Others include Learn with Pokémon : Typing Adventure ( a typing game ) and Pokémon Conquest ( a crossover game ) for Nintendo DS , and downloadable reference applications Pokédex 3D , Pokédex 3D Pro ( for Nintendo 3DS ) , and Pokédex for iOS ( for iOS devices ) , which allows players to view information of Pokémon species while they have 3D models . Sixth generation ( 2013 -- 2016 ) On December 24 , 2012 , Japanese magazine Nintendo Dream posted a greetings card sent out by Game Freak . In the card , Junichi Masuda exclaimed that during 2013 , they intend to further evolve the world of Pokémon . On December 29 , 2012 , a new Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 commercial aired in Japan , and ending with a message , informing Pokémon fans that the latest news would be announced on January 8 , 2013 .

This generation is also the first to be compatible with Pokémon Bank . Greninja , the final evolved form of Froakie , would later go on to represent the sixth generation of Pokémon in the hit fighting game , Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U . On May 7 , 2014 , Nintendo revealed the games Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire in a teaser trailer , remakes of the third generation games Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire .

On August 26 , 2014 , Pokkén Tournament was announced and was released on July 16 , 2015 in Japanese arcades and was released on March 18 , 2016 worldwide for Wii U .

Players can choose a Grass - type , a Fire - type , or a Water - type , Pokémon indigenous to that particular region . For example , in Pokémon Red and Blue , the player has the choice of starting with Bulbasaur , Charmander , or Squirtle . The exception to this rule is Pokémon Yellow , where players are given a Pikachu , an Electric - type mouse Pokémon , famous for being the mascot of the Pokémon media franchise ; unique to Pokémon Yellow , the three starter Pokémon from Red and Blue can be obtained during the quest by a single player . Another consistent aspect is that the player 's rival will always choose the type that has a type advantage over the player 's chosen Pokémon as his or her starter Pokémon ( excluding Sun and Moon ) . For instance , if the player picks the Fire - type Charmander , the rival will always pick the Water - type Squirtle . This does not affect the first battle between the rivals , as they can only use Normal - type attacks at this point , meaning that they can not exploit weaknesses . The exception to this is again Pokémon Yellow , in which the rival picks Eevee , a Normal - type Pokémon with multiple evolutions . Sun and Moon also is an exception is this rule , as the rival picks the starter weak toward the player 's starter , with the Pokémon that has the type advantage going to a trainer in the Champion battle . However , in Pokémon Black and White , there are two rivals ; one picks the Pokémon with a type advantage over the player 's chosen Pokémon , while the other chooses the Pokémon with the type disadvantage . In Pokémon Diamond , Pearl and Platinum , another Trainer chooses the Pokémon with a type disadvantage to the player 's chosen Pokémon , but never battles the player ; instead , this character battles alongside the player as a tag partner in certain situations . The situation is similar in Pokémon X and Y , but there are four rivals . Two of them receive the starter Pokémon in an arrangement similar to Pokémon Black and White , but the other two have completely different Pokémon .

Question: when did the first pokemon game come out


Tex - Mex - wikipedia Tex - Mex Jump to : navigation , search For other uses , see Tex - Mex ( disambiguation ) . Examples of Tex - Mex dishes and ingredients Tex - Mex ( from Texan and Mexican ) is a fusion of Mexican and American cuisines , deriving from the culinary creations of Tejanos . It has spread from border states such as Texas and others in the Southwestern United States to the rest of the country as well as Canada . Tex - Mex is most popular in Texas and some parts of Mexico . Tex - Mex is often conflated with the Southwestern cuisine found in Arizona , New Mexico , Colorado , and Utah . Contents ( hide ) 1 Common dishes 2 History 3 Terminology 4 See also 5 References 6 External links Common dishes ( edit ) A baked beans and tortillas seller at San Antonio , Texas , c. 1939 Some ingredients are common in Mexican cuisine , but other ingredients not typically used in Mexico are often added . Tex - Mex cuisine is characterized by its heavy use of shredded cheese , meat ( particularly beef and pork ) , beans , peppers and spices , in addition to flour tortillas . Dishes such as Texas - style chili con carne , nachos , hard tacos and fajitas are all Tex - Mex inventions . Moreover , Tex - Mex has imported flavors from other spicy cuisines , such as the use of cumin , introduced by Spanish immigrants to Texas from the Canary Islands and used in Berber cuisine , but used in only a few central Mexican recipes . History ( edit ) Original Ninfa 's tacos al carbón / fajitas Chili with garnishes and tortilla chips The word `` Tex - Mex '' first entered the English language as a nickname for the Texas Mexican Railway , chartered in southern Texas in 1875 . In train schedules published in the newspapers of the 19th century the names of railroads were abbreviated . The Missouri Pacific was called the Mo . Pac. and the Texas - Mexican was abbreviated Tex . Mex . In the 1920s , the hyphenated form was used in American newspapers in reference to the railroad and to describe Texans of Mexican ancestry . In the mission era , Spanish and Mexican cuisines were combined in Texas as in other parts of the northern frontier of New Spain . However , the cuisine that would come to be called Tex - Mex actually originated with Tejanos ( Texans of Mexican descent ) as a mix of native Mexican and Spanish foods when Texas was part of New Spain and later Mexico . Aaron Sanchez is an American Mexican chef and television personality . From the South Texas region between San Antonio , the Rio Grande Valley and El Paso , this cuisine has had little variation , and from earliest times has always been influenced by the cooking in the neighboring northern states of Mexico . The ranching culture of South Texas and Northern Mexico straddles both sides of the border . A taste for cabrito ( kid goat ) , barbacoa de cabeza ( barbecued beef heads ) , carne seca ( dried beef ) , and other products of cattle culture is common on both sides of the Rio Grande . Marcela Valladolid was the host of the Food Network television series Mexican Made Easy , and a co-host of the Food Network television series The Kitchen . In the 20th century , Tex - Mex took on such Americanized elements as yellow cheese , as goods from the United States became cheap and readily available . In much of Texas , the cooking styles on both sides of the U.S. -- Mexico border were the same until a period after the U.S. Civil War . With the railroads , American ingredients and cooking appliances became common on the U.S. side . A 1968 Los Angeles Times feature wrote `` ( i ) f the dish is a combination of Old World cooking , hush - my - mouth Southern cuisine and Tex - Mex , it 's from the Texas Hill Country . '' In France , Paris 's first Tex - Mex restaurant opened in March 1983 . After the 1986 release of the film Betty Blue , Tex - Mex cuisine 's popularity in Paris increased . Terminology ( edit ) Mixed beef and chicken fajita ingredients , served on a hot iron skillet The Oxford English Dictionary supplies the first - known uses in print of `` Tex - Mex '' in reference to food , from a 1963 article in The New York Times Magazine , and a 1966 item in the Great Bend ( Kansas ) Tribune . Diana Kennedy , an influential food authority , explained the distinctions between Mexican cuisine and Americanized Mexican food in her 1972 book The Cuisines of Mexico . Robb Walsh of the Houston Press said the book `` was a breakthrough cookbook , one that could have been written only by a non-Mexican . It unified Mexican cooking by transcending the nation 's class divisions and treating the food of the poor with the same respect as the food of the upper classes .

Qutb Minar - wikipedia Qutb Minar Jump to : navigation , search Coordinates : 28 ° 31 ′ 28 '' N 77 ° 11 ′ 07 '' E  /  28.524355 ° N 77.185248 ° E  / 28.524355 ; 77.185248 Qutub Minar कुतुब मिनार قطب مینار  Qutb Minar in Delhi , India Height 73 metres ( 240 ft ) UNESCO World Heritage Site Type Cultural Criteria Designated 1993 ( 17th session ) Reference no . 233 Country India Continent Asia Constructed by Started construction by Qutub - ud - din Aibak & completed construction by Iltutmish The Qutub Minar ( Hindi : कुतुब मिनार , Urdu : قطب مینار   ) is a minaret that forms a part of the Qutab complex , a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Mehrauli area of Delhi , India . Qutub Minar is a 73 - metre ( 239.5 feet ) tall tapering tower of five storeys , with a 14.3 metres ( 47 feet ) base diameter , reducing to 2.7 metres ( 9 feet ) at the peak . It contains a spiral staircase of 379 steps . Its design is thought to have been based on the Minaret of Jam , in western Afghanistan . Qutab Ud - Din - Aibak , founder of the Delhi Sultanate , started construction of the Qutub Minar 's first storey around 1192 . In 1220 , Aibak 's successor and son - in - law Iltutmish completed a further three storeys . In 1369 , a lightning strike destroyed the top storey . Firoz Shah Tughlaq replaced the damaged storey , and added one more . It derived its name from the Sufi saint Qutubuddin Bakhtiyar Quaki whom Qutab Ud - Din - Aibak worshiped . The Minar is surrounded by several historically significant monuments of the Qutab complex , including Quwwat - ul - Islam Mosque , which was built at the same time as the Minar , and the much older Iron Pillar of Delhi . The nearby pillared Cupola known as `` Smith 's Folly '' is a remnant of the tower 's 19th century restoration , which included an ill - advised attempt to add a sixth storey .

The Qutab Minar , 1805 Qutab Minar in Mehrauli in Delhi . Clifton and Co. , around 1890 Qutab Minar was established along with Quwwat - ul - Islam Mosque around 1192 by Qutab - ud - din Aibak , first ruler of the Delhi Sultanate . The mosque complex is one of the earliest that survives in the Indian subcontinent . The minaret is named after Qutab - ud - din Aibak , or Qutabuddin Bakhtiar Kaki , a Sufi saint . Its ground storey was built over the ruins of the Lal Kot , the citadel of Dhillika . Aibak 's successor Iltutmish added three more storeys . The minar 's topmost storey was damaged by lightning in 1369 and was rebuilt by Firoz Shah Tughlaq , who added another storey . In 1505 , an earthquake damaged Qutub Minar ; it was repaired by Sikander Lodi . On 1 September 1803 , a major earthquake caused serious damage . Major Robert Smith of the British Indian Army renovated the tower in 1828 and installed a pillared cupola over the fifth story , thus creating a sixth . The cupola was taken down in 1848 , under instructions from The Viscount Hardinge , then Governor General of India . It was reinstalled at ground level to the east of Qutab Minar , where it remains . It is known as `` Smith 's Folly '' . Architecture ( edit ) The tower 's style is basically Iranian , though likely patterned on Afghanistan 's Minaret of Jam , and adapted to local artistic conventions by the incorporation of `` looped bells and garlands and lotus borders into the carving '' . Aybak also started Qutub Minar along the patterns of Iranian minarets but built by Hindus artisans . Numerous inscriptions in Parso - Arabic and Nagari characters in different sections of the Qutab Minar reveal the history of its construction , and the later restorations and repairs by Firoz Shah Tughluq ( 1351 -- 89 ) and Sikandar Lodi ( 1489 -- 1517 ) . The tower has five superposed , tapering storeys . The lowest three comprise fluted cylindrical shafts or columns of pale red sandstone , separated by flanges and by storeyed balconies , carried on Muqarnas corbels . The fourth column is of marble , and is relatively plain . The fifth is of marble and sandstone . The flanges are a darker red sandstone throughout , and are engraved with Quranic texts and decorative elements . The whole tower contains a spiral staircase of 379 steps . At the foot of the tower is the Quwwat ul Islam Mosque . The minar tilts just over 65 cm from the vertical , which is considered to be within safe limits , although experts have stated that monitoring is needed in case rainwater seepage further weakens the foundation . Accident ( edit ) Before 1974 , the general public was allowed access to the top of the minar , via the internal staircase . On 4 December 1981 , the staircase lighting failed . Between 300 and 400 visitors stampeded towards the exit , and 45 were killed in the crush and some were injured . Most of these were children . Subsequently , public access to the inside of the tower has been stopped . In literature ( edit ) Wikisource has original text related to this article : ' The Cootub Minah , Delhi ' , a poem by L.E.L. Letitia Elizabeth Landon 's poem The Cootub Minah , Delhi is a reflection on an engraving in Fisher 's Drawing Room Scrap Book , 1833 . In popular culture ( edit ) Bollywood actor and director Dev Anand wanted to shoot the song `` Dil Ka Bhanwar Kare Pukar '' from his film Tere Ghar Ke Samne inside the Minar . However , the cameras in that era were too big to fit inside the tower 's narrow passage , and therefore the song was shot inside a replica of the tower . The site served as the pit stop of the second leg of the second series of The Amazing race Australia . A picture of the minaret is featured on the travel cards issued by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation . A recently launched start - up in collaboration with the Archaeological survey of India has made a 360 walkthrough of Qutab Minar available .
