Initially Developed In Japan By Nintendo As A Computer Game, Pokmon Swept The Globe In The Late 1990S. Based On A Narrative In Which A Group Of Children Capture, Train, And Do Battle With Over A Hundred Imaginary Creatures, Pokmon Quickly Diversified Into An Array Of Popular Products Including Comic Books, A Tv Show, Movies, Trading Cards, Stickers, Toys, And Clothing. Pokmon Eventually Became The Top Grossing Children'S Product Of All Time. Yet The Phenomenon Fizzled As Quickly As It Had Ignited. By 2002, The Pokmon Craze Was Mostly Over. Pikachus Global Adventure Describes The Spectacular, Complex, And Unpredictable Rise And Fall Of Pokmon In Countries Around The World.In Analyzing The Popularity Of Pokmon, This Innovative Volume Addresses Core Debates About The Globalization Of Popular Culture And About Childrens Consumption Of Massproduced Culture. Topics Explored Include The Origins Of Pokmon In Japans Valorization Of Cuteness And Traditions Of Insect Collecting And Anime; The Efforts Of Japanese Producers And American Marketers To Localize It For Foreign Markets By Muting Its Sex, Violence, Moral Ambiguity, And General Feeling Of Japaneseness; Debates About Childrens Vulnerability Versus Agency As Consumers; And The Contentious Question Of Pokmons Educational Value And Place In School. The Contributors Include Teachers As Well As Scholars From The Fields Of Anthropology, Media Studies, Sociology, And Education. Tracking The Reception Of Pokmon In Japan, The United States, Great Britain, France, And Israel, They Emphasize Its Significance As The First Japanese Cultural Product To Enjoy Substantial Worldwide Success And Challenge Western Dominance In The Global Production And Circulation Of Cultural Goods.Contributors.
