How Pokémon Took Over The World! From catching bugs in the forests of Japan to trading Charizard cards in the schoolyard, Pokémon became one of the biggest pop culture phenomena in the world. But how did it all begin?

Join us for a nostalgic journey through the history of Pokémon, exploring the childhood obsession that inspired its creator, Satoshi Tajiri, the rise of the Game Boy games and the cartoon that introduced Ash and Pikachu to millions of fans. From playground card swaps and Pokémon: The First Movie to the worldwide frenzy of Pokémon GO, discover how a simple idea about collecting creatures became a global phenomenon that continues to capture new generations.

Plus a Mini Quiz and Prizes after the talk!

Come spend an evening in the pub listening to fascinating talks, meeting interesting people, and diving into ideas you probably won’t hear anywhere else.
