Beginning in the 1990’s Pokemon swept the country and stole the hearts of little kids and big kids everywhere, and eventually made it to the movies. Each fan had their favorite characters, and they collected all types of plastic figures, stuffed toys, and trading cards, among other things, all having to do with Pokemon.

Pikachu was a special favorite of many. He was probably the most popular Pokemon character of them all. Even the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade featured Pikachu as one of the enormous balloons displayed.

Meaning “Pocket Monster,” the original Pokemon pilot was called, “Pokemon, I Choose You,” and featured Ash Ketchum and Pikachu. From this very first anime series, Pokemon became very famous having numerous films following. Then the games were born, and they became so popular that they are only second to the Mario Brothers video games. “Pokemon Black and White” is the fifth generation of Pokemon adventures, and this game is in 3D, just created in 2009-2010.

Some party supplies for your Pokemon party might be packs of trading cards that can be traded right at the party. As each child opens up his pack, he may find that he has duplicates of some of the cards and they can be traded among the other children, so that he has the chance of having one of each card in his collection. Each of the guests might have the chance to tell of his favorite Pokemon movie, or a special favorite part of one. If several Pokemon movies are available, they might all vote on the one they would prefer to watch and in what order. Following this discussion, the kids will become all seated in the media area, and the Pokemon movies can begin.

Be sure to have plenty of refreshments and snacks available, just as if they were in the movie theatre to add to the excitement and enjoyment of this Pokemon event.
