Voice 1  
Welcome to Spotlight. I’m Colin Lowther.
Voice 2  
And I’m Liz Waid. Spotlight uses a special English method of broadcasting. It is easier for people to understand, no matter where in the world they live.
Voice 1  
Imagine a world where monsters are real. But these are not the frightening creatures that you see in films. And they are also different from the monsters in traditional stories. Some of these monsters live with humans. Some live in the wild, like animals. These creatures are more intelligent than animals. They even have amazing special powers. Some can fly and breathe fire. One looks like a big black snake, with steel skin. But not all the monsters look so frightening. Some are very cute. Some are even beautiful. One very famous one looks like a yellow mouse with a big round face.
Voice 2  
This imagined world of strange creatures is the world of Pokémon. And this world exists inside a video game! Today, this video game has grown to include television programs, books, trading cards, toys, and many other things. It is famous around the world. Today’s Spotlight is on the amazing world of Pokémon.
Voice 1  
Satoshi Tajiri created Pokémon. He was born in Japan in 1968. As a child, Tajiri loved collecting insects. He spent many hours by lakes. There, he observed different animals and insects. Tajiri told Time Magazine Asia:
Voice 3  
“Every time I found a new insect, it was a mystery to me. The more I searched for insects, the more I found. If I put my hand in the river, I would find water insects there. If there was a stick over a hole, I would find insects underneath it. As I gathered more, I learned more about them. I saw how some even eat each other.”
Voice 2  
But Tajiri was also very interested in video games. As a young man, he played them all of the time. Tajiri knew he wanted to MAKE video games as an adult. As young adults, he and a friend began their own video game company. One of their video games was an early version of Pokémon.

Voice 1  
To make Pokémon, Tajiri combined the two things he loved most: insects and video games. As an adult, he remembered his experiences as a child. He remembered how he liked finding insects in the grass. He thought this could make a good game. People could collect Pokémon creatures like he collected insects. For him, collecting insects had been like exploring a new world. Could he give that experience to other people in a game?
Voice 2  
In the game of Pokémon, the player plays the part of the trainer. A trainer is a person who works with Pokémon. Trainers travel around the game world. They collect as many different kinds of Pokémon as they can. Together, the trainer and Pokémon also enter competitions. They battle against other Pokémon and trainers.
Voice 1  
The video game company Nintendo agreed to make Tajiri’s game. Tajiri wanted to make two games, called Pokémon Red and Pokémon Green. People would play them on Nintendo’s Game Boy. Game Boy was a very small video game system. A person could carry it with them. It was very popular with young children.
