Pokémon was devised in the early 90s (around 1991) as "Capsule Monsters" at Game Freak, then Game Freak tarted it up as "Pocket Monsters" and submitted it to Nintendo after Nintendo had bought them. Nintendo accepted, and when Pocket Monsters finished development the name Pokémon referenced in the game was used for an abbreviation and the actual name of the game in western territories. We're up to about 1998 now.
The kids, they listen to the rap music, which gives them the brain damage, you see?
