Pokémon has been producing content and gaining fans for over two decades now. Throughout the years, they have shortened their name, made countless episodes of the show, made lots of video games, and have created around 900 different Pokémon.
As the times have changed, they have become more and more popular, and fans are creating and promoting Pokémon content, talking non-stop on social media platforms, such as Instagram. With more fans joining the bandwagon, both fans and the franchise are getting more creative in ways that anyone can "catch 'em all!"
This Instagram account is perfect for any Pokémon fans that love finding fossils in the games, as well as fans who just want a Pokémon they can show to the world.
Kylie and Ganon, the owners of Oddities and Curiosities specialize in creating taxidermy versions of some Pokémon as well as other critters from other video games, tv shows, and movies. They've created everything from a Cubone skull terrarium to the Butterfree evolution line, with more creations on the way.
For fans who are big on the gameplay, @jmc_staineglass is the Instagram account to follow. The artist, Justin, creates stained glass pieces of various Pokémon. These are great as they have a sense of nostalgia to them. They give the appearance of a screenshot of each Pokémon that he creates.
Many of the pieces that he has created so far have been of fan favorites, such as the original starters, and a few other of the best starter Pokémon (like Ditto, and Eevee, just to name a few). He is also starting to work on others among the vast expanses of the Pokédex.
Originally known as Pocket Monsters, only to later be rebranded as Pokémon, the artist that runs the Instagram account mypokeprints has really gone to the original roots of the franchise. By creating 3D prints of various Pokémon, they have made it possible for fans to be able to carry Pokémon in their pockets.
Not only can fans collect their own little Pokémon, but they can get custom-made ones too. With the addition of Pokémon with scenery, or just customized however they want, like Grogu in a Poke Ball, this artist seems capable of making it happen.
When the Pokémon Go game was announced and then released in 2016, fans were ecstatic to finally have a more hands-on version of the game to play. Being able to go around in the real world and battle Pokémon in the wild, in gyms, and even be able to trade with other people made the game even more tangible.
The official Pokémon Go Instagram is perfect for fans who are still playing this game. The account has all the announcements of what's new, what's coming up, and everything in between pertaining to the gameplay. It will even give links to view certain events, as well as give updates of what Pokémon are going to be making more of an appearance in the next few days.
Pokémon Masters EX is another game that fans can play through an app on their phones. While not as well-known as the Pokémon Go game, it is still pretty popular among die-hard fans. The game gives fans the opportunity to recruit their favorite trainers to help them become the Champion of the Pokémon Masters League.
This game has gotten a little less traction solely due to the fact that its primary focus is on battling others and becoming the champion and less on actually catching Pokémon. The Pokémon Masters EX Instagram account is a great reference page for any fans that live for the thrill of the battle, and are looking to collect all the gym badges.
When opening the Pokémon Go app, the Niantic logo shows up. Niantic is the developer of the game, as well as a few other popular games. Their official Instagram account, nianticlabs, has a combination of announcements from the game that help keep gamers involved. They are always on top of announcing and advertising their Community days, which are a big deal amongst the Pokémon Go community, as well as AR Photo Days.
As they develop more apps, and as more spinoff Pokémon games are made, fans have to expect to sort through their posts to find Pokémon-related content, but for now, they are posting plenty of content to keep Pokémon fans updated and hooked on the game.
For fans that are into collectible items, and enjoy the trading cards, collecting the Pokémon trading cards is a great way to fulfill all dreams of becoming a real-life Pokémon trainer. The official Pokémon Trading Card Game Instagram account has everything and anything related to the card game.
The trading card game varies from the video games as it allows players to have a little more free-range depending on the cards they have, and it avoids the cliches that are in most Pokémon games. There are also announcements of rare cards that are being released, as well as announcements of new card sets and any new elements to the Pokémon or the game itself. For fans who are looking to complete their Pokémon card collection, following this Instagram account is crucial, since they are the main source for the popular trading card game.
With the Pokémon Trading Card Game having been out for over two decades, there are so many cards out there that it can be overwhelming for new fans, or even current fans trying to get into the game.
PokéRev, the guy behind the Instagram account pokemon_revolution_cards, helps break down what each type of card in each type of special pack means, as well as covering how much each is worth. His excitement when he opens a new or rare pack is palpable and can make even those that aren't fans get excited about the cards. Helping fans become knowledgeable about each of the cards is just another way this is another Instagram account that can help fans catch 'em all.
The Pokédex is one of the most well-known parts of the Pokémon franchise. It is the little pocket computer that helps identify any new Pokémon that users may run into. While there doesn't seem to be an official Pokédex account, the Instagram account pokedex_dailys does a good job of covering each Pokémon one day at a time.
Whether it's unpopular Pokémon or ones that secretly fan favorites, they all make an appearance in the Pokédex making them all important. This is helpful for fans that are looking to learn a little bit more about certain Pokémon, especially as a whole new generation is going to be released soon.
One of the best sources to help fans complete their Pokémon quest is the official Pokémon Instagram account. This account covers all things Pokémon and is always up to date on what's trending.
Of course, as the franchise has gotten bigger they have had to branch out a little and have made official accounts depending on the country to post specific things that are happening in each location, and the gaming accounts are more specific to the games, but all generic Pokémon announcements can be found here.
