1996 for Japan and 1998 for the US. Basically, if you've felt the urge to 'catch 'em all' since the late 90s, you're not alone.

They've been around since '96 in Japan. By '98, they were a global phenomenon. So, yeah, they've been a part of our childhoods and are still going strong!

1996 in Japan, 1998 in the US. It's been a long time, and yet, here we are, still trading and battling. Magic!
