The Evolution of Pokemon: A 29th Anniversary Retrospective (adults) In-Person
Do you remember playing Pokémon on the Game Boy or did you experience the modern Pokémania with Pokémon GO as an adult? Whether you’re new or old to the series, there is much more to these cute and friendly characters and games beyond catching ‘em all! Join Dr. Gregory Blomquist, Pokémon researcher and lecturer at the University of Alberta, on a nostalgia-fuelled retrospective of Pokémon as the series turns 29 and learn about its rich and complicated history, its underlying philosophies and ethics, and how it shaped Nintendo’s handheld development.
