I wanted to research this topic because I am a big fan of the game Pokémon. I have played all of the Pokémon games. I think about why I like this game IP, but a lot of it comes from my love for the Pokémon anime when I was a kid. When I grew up I realised that Pokémon was first an IP for a game.

For this question I wondered. Why do so many game IPs stay so popular and how do they make their IPs more well-known. In my opinion a lot of this is down to their film and television and anime incarnations. So for this essay I have a few main arguments.

• Why game IPs should be filmed and animated.
• What are the benefits of anime and film for game IPs?
• Do all game IPs need to be turned into films and movies, and which game IPs can be transformed in this way.

These are the main questions I want to explore

After that I will look for some theories to support my thesis
