Talk about the same but two very different series here
Sayuri no Hoshi said:*face faults and screams at Avatar and Purin* I know that they're both the same, thank you! I just never knew why the Americans never used what the Japanese title is, Pocket Monsters, if it was already in English, to phrase my statement better. Maybe they just prefered Pokemon since Digimon (Digital Monsters) had the same concept. Whatever the case was, I'm just very picky when it comes to titling things...>_<
You got it mixed up there. Every title for the TV show, every logo for the games says (in Katakana) "Poketsuto Montsutah" which roughly translates as Pocket Monsters. While the word "Pokemon" is almost always used in the games (haven't seen any Japanese episodes or movies), it would seem that Pocket Monsters is the official Japanese title.Avatar said:Pocket Monsters and Pokemon is the same, Pocket Monsters is just the english name for Pokemon, while Pokemon is the japanese one.
