The official reason why Pokemon wasn't called Pocket Monsters in the US, is because there was already a series of toys/games called "Monsters in my Pocket". It's different enough, but they didn't want to risk any sort of legal issues. Thus, when they brought it over, they localized it as Pokemon. That's the official history behind the name. Japanese anime/games (especially at the time) is carried over from Japan to North America first, then to the rest of the world. So that's why when it reached India, Brazil, and Spain, they just continued with Pokemon, Ash, Brock, etc.

[@FahimPlayz]

did japan just decide to call their games pokemon then? or do they translate it when it comes to the us

[@SakuraAvalon]

@@FahimPlayz The logos are changed, including changing 'Pocket Monster' to 'Pokemon'. In fact, plenty of Japanese Pokemon games do not use the Yellow and Blue outlined letters we do. There's are much more stylized and reflect the game they're associated with. Where as ours, just use the default 'Pokemon' logo you see on everything, including the cards and show.

[@OtaKatWolfe]

You know it’s actually interesting considering Japan’s penchant for portmanteaus that they didn’t shorten Pocket Monsters to Pokemon to begin with. There are thousands of examples of similar shortenings in their language. Pasocon (personal computer), kosupure (costume (role)play), KanColle(KanCore) (Kantai Collection), just to name a few off my the top of my head. Pokémon seems like such a natural fit.

[@dieinfire920]

Half truth. The other half truth is that in Japanese although the actual name is pocket monster (but katakana pronunciation), Japanese tend to short words when speaking or chatting or even to input brands into the people more eas as it sounds catchier when abbreviated: digital cameras becomes digicame, ero game becomes eroge, Mac Donald’s becomes makku (from Mac), digital monster becomes digimon, monster Hunter becomes monhan, and poket monster becomes Pokémon.

Son Goku and Son Ogong are basically the same name. Son Ogong is how the Chinese characters for Son Goku(孫悟空) is read in Korean. Likewise, the same letters would be read Sun Wukong in Mandarin and that's the name that Chinese people would be familar with. Same goes for Yuhiwang. Yuhiwang is how Chinese characters for Japanese name Yugioh(遊戯王) is read in Korean. It's not changing the name. It's just literal translation of the original Chinese characters. For example, a famous ancient Chinese tactician named Zhuge Liang is called Jaegal Ryang in Korean and Shokatsu Ryo in Japanese. Korean and Japanese didn't change person's original name. They're just reading Chinese characters in their own language. Might be a difficult concept for Westerners to understand but it's a concept that all East Asian countries understand.

The creator of Pokemon is Satoshi Tajiri. In an interview, Tajiri said that "Satoshi" was his alter ego as a boy. The name "Ash" is derived from the Roman alphabet "satoshi," from which the "a," "s," and "h" are extracted.

[@segarasan]

Jiwoo is also derived from Satoshi. Satoshi meaning "clever" if written in kanji, is the same character as the "Ji" in Jiwoo.

[@watchforever1724]

Was confused about this

[@LK-ul4sh]

In Korea, the main character of Dragon Ball, Son Goku, is called Son O Gong rather than Son Goku. The reason for this is that Son Goku is written using Chinese characters (kanji), but the pronunciation differs between Japan and Korea even though it's the same word. Therefore, in Korea, the name is pronounced using the Korean-style Kanji sound, which is "O Gong." However, characters like Bulma and Vegeta, whose names are not written in Chinese characters but in English, are called the same as in Japan in Korea as well.

Dragon Ball Z is actually a sequel to Dragon Ball ;p Akira Toriyama has drawn this series in two parts with different titles and anime followed this idea. The original Japanese titles were ドラゴンボール (Doragon Bōru) and ドラゴンボール Z ( Doragon Bōru Zetto). Also Satoshi was named after the creator of the game Satoshi Tajiri and his rival Gary Oak (or whatever he was called in your languages ;p) was named after the legend himself Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of Mario.

[@mangolio]

Well actually ... the manga was always called Dragon Ball throughout its run. The anime adapted the 2nd part as Dragon Ball Z after Goku became an adult.

[@cpt.flamer7184]

@@mangolio true, sorry, my bad, most western manga releases were using Z in the title for the part of the story covered in DBZ anime, so it tricked me, you are right

[@mayank19o76]

Z is for Zenkai power (its in the OST ... no ?)

[@Megrez-Alberich]

@@mayank19o76 Maybe, but that's not the reason why the show is called DBZ. When asked by TOEI Animation to find a new name and logo for the TV show, Toriyama picked the letter Z because it's the last letter of the alphabet and he thought, at that time, that the manga would reach its conclusion pretty soon. So, for him, Z meant "we're entering the final part of the story, and after that, tha'ts it. The end".

Gokus name in Korean and Japanese are closer than you think. Dragon Ball is based off the Monkey king legend, where the characters name in Mandarin Chinese is Sun Wukong. And since both Korean and Japanese both use Chinese characters but read them a bit differently, “Sun Wukong” became “Son Ohgong” in korean and “Son Goku” in Japanese.

[@danielantony1882]

Goku has probably been simplified. Or maybe it's closer to Tang Chinese.

I feel so old whenever I hear these titles because of how much of an impact they had on my childhood… very nostalgic memories! 🥰 If you’re taking on more ideas, how about language differences with kids shows (like Thomas and Friends for example)?

[@oberdamujigae]

I grow up watching a lot of anime as a kid (I live in Indonesia) the staples on tv were Pokemon, Digimon, Doraemon, Shinchan, Ninja Hatori, Hamtaro, Maruko-chan, and most popular would be Captain Tsubasa. I like them too but I also like the shorter series like Ghost at School, Cardcaptor Sakura, Tico & Friends, Nube, and Shaman King. I think there were a lot more shoujo titles like wedding peach, sailor moon, inuyasha, and then I remember there's that anime by clamp about two highschool girls isekai-ed to a historical world who were friends and later became enemies I can't remember the title 😂 I continue watching anime in the channel animax after that with either engdub or original dub w/ subs

Excuse me where is Doremon, Kitaretshu , Shin Chan, Hatodi , Bay blade these are the anime i know as gen z , now age 21 year . In India i think these are most popular after Pokemon.

[@Variouscartoontopic]

It's Hattori

[@adelbechtoula]

Pretty sure the american girl's knowledge about anime is very limited especially when she said demon slayer is her favorite and also because in the US goku's name doesn't change it's still "son goku" not just goku

[@sergiorevers0]

Is there any video in which they discuss about toys? Like they did with cards and Bakugans adding Digivice, Pokemon Battle Trainer or Tamagotchi...

[@nahranevideo8762]

When I was a kid I enjoyed many of those... pokemon, beyblade and others - all original series, anyway Digimon won my kinder heart. Years later, thanks to Koe no katachi I started watching anime movies and surprisingly found out that Mr. Hosada who's making fantastic anime movies is the one who was behind my beloved children animated TV show 🙂.

[@judna1]

I used to watch anime in Catalan on the Super3 channel, I used to watch Innuyasha, Sakura, Fushigui Yugui, Detective Conan, Sin-chan and Doremí (when I was even younger), Slum Dunk, Ranma... But the one I grew up with and the one dearest to my heart was and it always has been is Doraemon🤗

[@Dragonflyetc]

Another Catalan here! Same! Although Bola de Drac was too epic for me, specially the Catalan intro, when I was a kid and I have yet to see another series that does the same impression to me. Another favourite of mine was Dr Slump

[@judna1]

@@Dragonflyetc Yes, of course. Though I'd barely watched them. I had some animes forbidden and with some of those I did what I told, not with all. By the way, there are others I forgot to mention like: Bobobo and Hattori for instance

Its really interesting, bcs in indonesia we rarely changes the original japanese name so i was confused when an idol talking abt anime but telling a completely different character name like 'who the heck is jjanggu' and then i realise they talking about shinchan😂

[@rudyansyah8215]

Fun fact about Digimon, especially for the 'remake' version. The Digimon Adventure 2020 have a very good ending Ost. It's song came from one of famous K-Pop boyband, ATEZZ, with their first Japan song, call DREAMER...👍

[@_SixthDay_]

Love hearing the translation and seeing everyone’s head explode lol.

[@offsdexter2]

them talking about how they feel closer on this one because of childhood was cute :p I'm a bit older, I watched the end of dragon ball with goku young then a bunch of dragon ball z seasons. Didn't get to watch naruto, our cards were pokemon/digimon/magic. I have the pokemon soundtrack in English, so I got used to both eng and pt-br versions of it, which are the same song just translated, not completely different songs like some other countries. its clear how we got all this stuff from USA instead of a direct localization from Japan. finally, we used to call "animation" (animação) anything like Shrek, a 3d drawing movie. Stuff like pokemon and dragon ball we called "drawing" (desenho).

Here in Portugal we don't usually translate names so Spongebob is still spongebob but I remember once seeing an limited time icecream for Bob Esponja and I was really confused what that was until I saw the imagine an said "Oh! Spongebob!" out loud.

How doesn't the American girl know Digimon ? It used to come on Fox Kids in America. We had that channel here in Canada too.

[@marydavis5234]

Not all Americans watch Anime.

[@jasjaswal4649]

@@marydavis5234 I only said it because she knew other anime shows. if you know anime you should know Digimon.

[@nicholas7156]

She doesn’t know anime at all. My guess is that she heard kids in the play ground talk about anime and that’s the extent of her exposure. She also didn’t know the opening to Pokemon the most iconic opening for a US dub anime of all time.

[@sumansaha7538]

In my opinion,in present time there is not any other animation who can beat the animation series of japan. Love from India❤❤❤

We Indians don't say Pokeemon, the name clearly spells itself as Pokémon.

Essa do "Ketchum" vir de "Catch 'em all" me pegou, não fazia ideia disso. Kkkk!!!

[@miuki2721]

Due to a media called "monster in my pocket" Nintendo shortened pocket monster to Pokemon to avoid confusion. Ash's french name (sacha) is basically close to the Japanese name. Edit: dots are important, I forgot a dot at confusion

[@gattetta]

In Catalonia Dragon Ball was translated as "Bola de Drac", it means the same as in english.

[@rushabchalke03]

All the Japanese animation shown in india are the american version that's why we have similar names and ash is known as ash ketchum not just ash
