There are few franchises bigger than Pokemon.<\/p>\n
Since its debut in 1996, it has become a pop culture staple, with video games, movies, card games and even its own special edition Pop-Tarts.<\/p>\n
While Nintendo no longer shares how much money it makes from the series, a sales report from 2017 says that it has made a trillion yen (around $76 billion Cdn).<\/p>\n
Another hugely successful part of the Pokemon franchise? The mobile game Pokemon Go.<\/p>\n
According to BBC Newsround, the game, which was released in 2016, passed one billion downloads worldwide in 2019.<\/p>\n
The game has a yearly special event called Pokemon Go Fest where players are encouraged to meet up and play together in cities around the world.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s event, which coincides with the game\u2019s 10th anniversary, begins on May 29 in Tokyo, Japan, and will travel to other cities like Chicago, Illinois, and Copenhagen, Denmark, over the summer.<\/p>\n
So, seeing as it\u2019s such a big year for Pokemon, we decided to test your knowledge about the series!<\/p>\n

Who\u2019s your favourite Pokemon?<\/p>\n
Nintendo, the company that owns Pokemon, launched an ad campaign where people share which Pokemon is their favourite and why.<\/p>\n
Like all ad campaigns, it isn\u2019t just for fun. The campaign is meant to promote the franchise\u2019s 30th anniversary and get people talking about the product being sold.<\/p>\n
We were curious though, since there are so many Pokemon, we wanted to know what some of your favourite Pokemon are.<\/p>\n
So we asked and you answered!\u00a0<\/p>\n
These are what some kids had to say:<\/p>\n
