Shiny Meganium October 30th, 2005 9:39 AM

I use Pokemon because it is shorter.

DoomKitty October 30th, 2005 11:02 AM

i thought the general rule was that pocket monsters = japan, pokemon = everywhere else oO;

Sammi October 30th, 2005 11:05 AM

But Japan uses Pokémon as well, just watch a Japanese Pokémon episode ^^;
I thought of it as of a matter of preference.

I use Pokémon. I like it better than Pocket Monsters. Must be because that was what I was introduced to. ^^;

I call it Pokemon, I only call it 'Pocket Monsters' or 'Pockemon' when I'm reffering to its original title for informational purposes. However as far as the anime goes, I like to Japanese version better, but I do watch the dub as well, I don't dislike it.

Crystal Clair October 30th, 2005 11:51 AM

Honestly, I like both. I use Pokemon usually because it's shorter.
You do need synonyms when talking about your favorite creatures. My synonyms so far
Pokemon
Pokemons
Pocket Monsters
Poketto Monstaa
and Pogeys

Pokemon because I'm English and pokemon is not two seperate words.

Himawarii October 30th, 2005 12:28 PM

I use both,but most of the time I use Pokemon because that's waht most people are familiar with.

Paradise October 30th, 2005 12:32 PM

I use Pokemon. Probably I didn't find out i was actually "Pocket Monsters" until I was used to saying Pokemon.

Gyarados Girl October 30th, 2005 12:47 PM

Pokémon sounds better than Pocket Monsters in my opinion.

Ati October 30th, 2005 1:22 PM

For me too

I am saying everytime POKéMON but not when I am speaking with a japanesse friend

PS:I am not from JAPAN XD

Supreme Edgeboy Max October 31st, 2005 12:59 AM

Pokemon.

Short, sleek and portable. =P Naw, Pokemon is just the way I like it. That's it. Pokketto Monusta' is too long and complicated to say even without the Japanese accent.

kohei October 31st, 2005 6:51 AM

I was introduced to them as Pocket Monsters, so I usually refer to them like that.

But I try to call them Pokemon here.

Samurai X October 31st, 2005 1:25 PM

I just call it Pokemon because it's shorter and better known.

Nedrag Terces12 October 31st, 2005 1:32 PM

I use pokemon. I mean like...the show's not called pocket monsters advanced or master quest etc. It's called pokemon.

Hinoshi-chan October 31st, 2005 1:34 PM

I use pokemon, because its to much effort to say poket monsters ¬¬ honestly it is hehe, and Poket monsters just goes on a bit X3

Linoone October 31st, 2005 1:43 PM

pokemon, cuz pocket monsters is too long and almost never used *faints*

Lightning Scott November 1st, 2005 8:35 AM

Pokémon Because Pocket Monsters is way to long. And also a lot of peolple don`t know that Pocket Monsters is a diffrent way to say Pokémon.

Tsugaru November 7th, 2005 1:38 AM

Eirikr November 9th, 2005 6:10 AM

pokenightmare November 10th, 2005 6:31 PM

I use Pokemon more because the name sounds better in my opinion.

MistMermaid November 11th, 2005 1:39 AM

Houndour2005 November 11th, 2005 4:33 AM

Pokemon sounds better to me.

Natsuki November 12th, 2005 4:59 PM

Pokemon, of course. XD I never say Pocket Monsters. @[email protected] I never even got the reference to that. XD I mean, sure, when the Pokemon's in its Pokeball I guess it could fit in your pocket...but I've yet to see a trainer who carries their Pokeballs in their pocket. XD

Charizard_Fire_God November 13th, 2005 10:10 AM

jasonresno November 13th, 2005 4:14 PM

Zaikiro November 13th, 2005 4:19 PM
