Catalogue information
Of course, this theme game also originated in America. But since Pokémon has also become all the rage in France, a French version has been released. For the Pokémon fanatics there is of course no word unknown, but for a simple Monopolist it looks nice but the names don't say much. A grandson and great connoisseur of this phenomenon, however, explained something to me: The World of Pokémon consists of Gyms (our "cities") located in 21 cities, forests, islands, etc. This World is depicted almost completely in the midfield of the game board. (The computer game starts at Pallet Town (on the board right next to field # 145 Zapdos) From there the game route is via Viridian City - Viridian Forest - Pewter City - Mt Moon Cerulean City (invisible under the LY) - Sea Cottage the peninsula) - Rock Tunnel with the Power Plant - Lavender Town (= the minaret at the T-junction) - Diglett's Cave (= the boulder under ALL!) to Fuchsia City and Safari Zone (bottom center). The island with pointed mountain is called Cinnaber Island and the 2 adjacent islands are called Seafoam Island.) The Professor Oak and Trainer Battle cards replace the Chance and Caisse de Communauté cards. The 6 tokens are famous figures from this world, namely # 04 Charmander, # 25 Pikachu, # 35 Clefairy, # 150 Mewtwo, # 01 Bulbasaur and # 09 Blastoise. They are packed separately in a molded black plastic container. The Poké money consists of 7 different banknotes, the denominations of which are: 1 (white) - 5 (pink) - 10 (yellow) -20 (green) - 50 (blue) - 100 (beige) and 500 (dark yellow). Strangely enough, the "banker's tray" only contains 5 squares! Instead of houses and hotels, there are light blue square stackable Poké Centers and red rectangular non-stackable Poké Marts, all made of transparent plastic. The dice are white with black pips. To make this version of Monopoly more like the Pokémon computer game, extra rules have been added, the Pokémon Energy Doubles. In case of a double throw, you can choose to throw again, as usual, or for a Pokémon Energy, depending on the throw. The values are listed in a table in the Manual. Ref. Wall newspaper Monopoly
