Why aren't they called Pocket Monsters anymore?
>>57162482They stopped making pants with pockets
>>57162482Because AmeriGODS are so powerful everyone has to cater to our needs first.
>>57162482Branding thing. TPC's branding guidelines say never to refer to Pokemon as monsters, but creatures instead. And even in Japan, only the main games still use the "Pocket Monsters" title. Everything else, including the Legends games, is just called Pokemon.
>>57162482The Switch doesn't fit in your pocket so it would be false advertising
>>57162846They didn't care about false advertising when they claimed that "Pokemon will play an active role in Home" or that "we are passionate about Pokémon and each and every one of them is very important to us"
>>57162482Jews decided that these "monsters" should look like faggots wearing fursuits instead
Mandela effect, it was never Pocket Monster
>>57162886But enough about Blaziken doe
>>57162482They are still called like that, Pokemon is an abbreviation.
>>57162815I like to think of them as critters
>>57162886Yeah because gorgons minotaurs mothman and werewolves sure aren't monsters but animals painted in a different color sure are
>>57162482They are in Japan. They were never officially called that in the west due to legal complications with the Monsters in my Pocket brand, so all game and anime dialogue talking about how "Pokemon" is an abbreviation of Pocket Monsters has to be rewritten in the localizations.
>>57163304PLA and PLZA use the American logo even in Japan, "Pocket Monsters" is only used in the Japanese titles of the main games now.
>>57163304>They were never officially called that in the west due to legal complications with the Monsters in my Pocket brandi hate copyright laws so fucking much
>>57162815>And even in Japan, only the main games still use the "Pocket Monsters" title. Everything else, including the Legends games, is just called Pokemon.Yeah, it's a branding thing, they use the term "Pocket Monsters series" to refer to what TPCi had to clumsily refer to as "mainline Pokemon games" after suddenly discovering 15 years too late that the western releases weren't named the same way as the Japanese ones, and they didn't really have a way to refer to "THESE Pokemon games as opposed to THOSE OTHER Pokemon games".
>>57163346Yeah, it's retarded. Nintendo actually tried to buy the Monsters in my Pocket brand just to get rid of that shit, but the faggot didn't want to sell.
>>57163332Total American Cultural Victory
>>57163332>nowThat's always been the case.
>>57163408>american culture wins out>series goes to shit
