On this day, February 27, 1996, two little games, Pocket Monsters Red and Pocket Monsters Green, launched in Japan and changed the world forever.

Thirty years later, what started as a childhood dream in Satoshi Tajiri’s imagination has grown into one of the most beloved franchises on the planet. From the original 151 to over 1,000 species, from the Game Boy to Switch 2, from the schoolyard to the big screen — Pokémon has been there for generations of fans through every chapter of their lives.

Whether you remember blowing into a cartridge, trading cards at lunch, or screaming when your phone buzzed with a rare spawn in Pokémon Go, Pokémon has a way of meeting you exactly where you are. Thank you for all of the wonderful memories and looking forward to what the next decades brings.

Here’s to 30 years of adventure, friendship, and the reminder that the journey matters just as much as the destination.

Welcome back everyone. I felt nostalgic recently and decided to revive my first website. Originally we were hosted on Angelfire and the original webpage is still online. We were originally named Pokemon Universe before eventually being renamed Mount Moon Pokemon Center and having that shortened to Mount Moon.

I originally started the webpage back in 1998 after Red and Blue was released in North America and it was my first webpage. I learned HTML the same time I started the webpage and wished I still had copies of the old webpage. The internet archive manages to preserve some of the old webpages though I’ve lost a lot of the old code. I miss all of the marquees, midis and animated gifs that dominated the internet at the time.

I remain a Pokemon fan to this day and it will always have a place in my heart. Given the 25th anniversary is coming up, I thought I’d dust off and create the Mount Moon page again. Let me know if you’re looking for any sort of interesting content and looking forward to having you all visit again soon.
