Pokémon
Pokémon was created by Satoshi Tajiri and first released as a pair of Game Boy games in Japan in 1996, built around collecting and battling creatures called Pokémon, and it grew into the highest-grossing media franchise in the world across games, trading cards, television, and merchandise combined. Tajiri reportedly drew inspiration for the concept from his own childhood hobby of collecting insects, translating that experience of searching, capturing, and cataloging creatures into the franchise's core "Gotta Catch 'Em All" gameplay premise that has remained central across every subsequent generation of games. The Pokémon Trading Card Game, launched alongside the original video games, became a massive standalone commercial phenomenon in its own right, and individual rare cards have sold at auction for hundreds of thousands of dollars, reflecting the franchise's unusual crossover success as both a game and a collectible commodity. Pokémon's combination of its origin in Tajiri's childhood insect-collecting hobby and its status as the highest-grossing media franchise in the world has made it one of the most commercially significant entertainment properties ever created, video game or otherwise.
VS
Grand Theft Auto
Grand Theft Auto began in 1997 as a top-down crime action game from Scottish developer DMA Design, before the franchise's 2001 shift to a fully 3D open world with "Grand Theft Auto III" is widely credited with establishing the modern open-world action game genre as a commercially viable mainstream format. The franchise, developed by Rockstar Games since its rebranding, became known for its satirical, often controversial depiction of American culture and crime, and individual entries have repeatedly generated significant public controversy over violent content even as they became some of the best-selling entertainment products in any medium. Grand Theft Auto V, released in 2013, became one of the best-selling entertainment products of all time across any medium, including film and music, and its persistent online multiplayer mode sustained an enormous ongoing player base for well over a decade after the base game's release. Grand Theft Auto's combination of establishing the modern open-world action genre and its record-setting commercial performance across the franchise's history has made it one of the most commercially significant video game franchises ever created.
