Pokemon - The Ultimate Trivia...

Trivia Hub

POKÉMON
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION
CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB
The Pokémon franchise began with Pocket Monsters Red and Green in 1996. It features creatures called Pokémon that humans coexist with. Players take the role of a Pokémon Trainer, who explores the world, catches Pokémon, and battles. The franchise includes video games, anime, and trading cards. The name "Pokémon" is an abbreviation of "Pocket Monsters". The franchise's primary target audience is children aged 5 to 12, but it attracts people of all ages. The franchise was conceived by Satoshi Tajiri, who was inspired by his childhood hobby of collecting insects. As of January 2024, 1,025 Pokémon species have been introduced.
CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES:
The Pokémon franchise was created by Satoshi Tajiri, who as a child enjoyed collecting insects and other small creatures. This childhood hobby inspired the concept of catching and collecting Pokémon in the game.
The initial idea for Pokémon involved using the Game Boy's link cable to allow players to exchange creatures, an idea inspired by the random item appearances in the game Dragon Quest II. Tajiri realized the cable could be used for something other than competing.
Gashapon capsules, toy-filled capsules from vending machines, were also an inspiration for the way Pokémon are captured and stored. The idea of miniaturized creatures stored in capsules was influenced by the show Ultraseven.
The original name for Pokémon was going to be Capsule Monsters, but it could not be trademarked, leading to the name Pocket Monsters, which was eventually shortened to Pokémon. The word "capsule" could not be used in the trademark.

Art History The Viennese Secession

Victoria Charles, Klaus H. Carl

Influenced by Art Nouveau, this movement (created in 1897 by Gustav Klimt, Carl Moll, and Josef Hoffmann) was not an anonymous artistic revolution. Defining itself as a “total art”, without any political or commercial constraint, the Viennese Secession represented the ideological turmoil that affected craftsmen, architects, graphic artists, and designers from this period. Turning away from an established art and immersing themselves in organic, voluptuous, and decorative shapes, these artists opened themselves to an evocative, erotic aesthetic that blatantly offended the bourgeoisie of the time. Painting, sculpture, and architecture are addressed by the authors and highlight the diversity and richness of a movement whose motto proclaimed “for each time its art, for each art its liberty” – a declaration to the innovation and originality of this revolutionary art movement.
