Name :(WHAT IS POKEMON):
The name Pokémon is the romanized contraction of the Japanese brand Pocket Monsters (ポケットモンスター Poketto Monsutā?).[7] The term Pokémon, in addition to referring to the Pokémon franchise itself, also collectively refers to the 719 known fictional species that have made appearances in Pokémon media as of the release of the sixth generation titles Pokémon X and Y. "Pokémon" is identical in both the singular and plural, as is each individual species name; it is grammatically correct to say "one Pokémon" and "many Pokémon", as well as "one Pikachu" and "many Pikachu".[8] (However, Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow feature NPCs referring to the plurals of Clefairy and Diglett with an "s" at the end, shown "CLEFAIRYs" and "DIGLETTs", respectively. This was fixed in FireRed and LeafGreen.)
Concept :
The concept of the Pokemon universe, in both the video games and the general fictional world of Pokemon, stems from the hobby of insect collecting, a popular pastime which Pokémon executive director Satoshi Tajiri enjoyed as a child.[9] Players of the games are designated as Pokemon Trainers, and the two general goals (in most Pokémon games) for such Trainers are: to complete the Pokédex by collecting all of the available Pokémon species found in the fictional region where that game takes place; and to train a team of powerful Pokémon from those they have caught to compete against teams owned by other Trainers, and eventually become the strongest Trainer: the Pokémon Master. These themes of collecting, training, and battling are present in almost every version of the Pokémon franchise, including the video games, the anime and manga series, and the Pokémon Trading Card Game
The main staple of the Pokémon video game series revolves
around the catching and battling of Pokémon. Starting with a starter
Pokémon, the player can catch wild Pokémon by weakening them and
catching them with Poké Balls. Conversely, they can choose to defeat
them in battle in order to gain experience for their Pokémon, raising
their levels and teaching them new moves. Certain Pokémon can evolve
into more powerful forms by raising their levels or using certain items.
Throughout the game, players will have to battle other trainers in
order to progress, with the main goal to defeat various Gym Leaders and
earn the right to become a tournament champion. Subsequent games in the
series have introduced various side games and side quests, including the
Battle Frontiers that display unique battle types and the Pokémon
Contests where visual appearance is put on display.
The Pokémon anime series and films are a meta-series of adventures separate from the canon that most of the Pokémon video games follow (with the exception of Pokémon Yellow, a game based loosely on the anime storyline). The anime follows the quest of the main character, Ash Ketchum[27] (known as Satoshi in Japan) a Pokémon Master in training, as he and a small group of friends[27] travel around the fictitious world of Pokémon along with their Pokémon partners. The original series, titled Pocket Monsters, or simply Pokémon in Western countries (often referred to as Pokémon: Gotta Catch 'Em All
to distinguish it from the later series), begins with Ash's first day
as a Pokémon trainer. His first (and signature) Pokémon is a Pikachu,
differing from the games, where only Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle
could be chosen.[28] The series follows the storyline of the original games, Pokémon Red and Blue, in the region of Kanto. Accompanying Ash on his journeys are Brock, the Pewter City Gym Leader, and Misty, the youngest of the Gym Leader sisters from Cerulean City. Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands follows Ash's adventures in the Orange Islands, a place unique to the anime, and replaces Brock with Tracey Sketchit, an artist and "Pokémon watcher". The next series, based on the second generation of games, include Pokémon: Johto Journeys, Pokémon: Johto League Champions, and Pokémon: Master Quest, following the original trio of Ash, Brock, and Misty in the western Johto region.
