The series focuses on the creatures known as {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, as well as their inhabited {{Pkmn|world}}, full of legends, tales, and adventures. Several [[canon|interpretations]] of the world explore different themes and elements. Most commonly, Pokémon coexist with [[human]]s and can be {{Pkmn2|caught}}, [[Pokémon training|trained]], and used in {{Pkmn|battle}}s and other activities. {{Pkmn|Trainer}}s, along with their Pokémon, travel across diverse [[region|lands]] aiming to make their dreams become reality, and the bond — love and trust — between Trainers and their Pokémon is often cited as the key to success.

Much as happens with many other {{wp|wasei-eigo|words and phrases borrowed from English}}, the Japanese name for the series, Pocket Monsters, became contracted into "Pokémon" during the development of the original games, likely as much for convenience when referring to it as to save on-screen real estate, considering the small size of the [[Game Boy]]'s screen. The official romanization of "Pokémon" at this time was derived from the contraction of '''Po'''c'''ke'''t and '''Mon'''sters, and can be seen explicitly in ''[[EP025#Trivia|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', even in the English dub.

The "Pokémon" name used today came about during the translation of the games for an English audience during 1997 and 1998. Whereas in Japan, Pocket Monsters was easily able to be trademarked, the release in the United States would prove difficult had this name been used, due to the unrelated {{wp|Monster in My Pocket}} franchise. Thus, an alternate romanization of the contraction was used, with an {{wp|Acute accent#English|acute accent}} over the letter "e" to indicate its specific pronunciation, ''poh-kay-mohn''. Despite this issue, however, the fact that Pokémon is short for Pocket Monsters has been referenced in English, with a non-playable character (NPC) in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} asking the player what Pokémon is short for after thinking about the name of the [[Pokétch]], itself a contraction, as well as on the back of the digital video disc (DVD) set containing the [[M01|first]], [[M02|second]], and [[M03|third]] {{pkmn|movie}}s.

{{main|History of Pokémon}}
{{main|History of Pokémon}}
Pokémon, as a series, was originally conceived by [[Satoshi Tajiri]] as a way to instill in children of the modern, more urbanized Japan the same enjoyment that he felt as a young boy collecting insects and other bugs near his hometown of {{wp|Machida, Tokyo|Machida}}. Initially called [[Capsule Monsters]], or CapuMon for short, Tajiri pitched the series to Nintendo after being inspired by the [[Game Link Cable]]; he pictured an insect crawling across it between two Game Boy systems.

An {{pkmn|anime}} was produced, to cover the journey players took through the [[Kanto]] region in the games over the course of a year and a half. About halfway through the anime's run in late 1997, tragedy struck, and [[EP038|an episode]] of the anime was found to be responsible for {{wp|epileptic seizure}}s in more than 600 children due to a flashing strobe effect. No one died of these seizures, and after an investigation was put into place, the anime was put on hiatus for four months, later returning to the air to complete the Kanto run in April 1998.

Encouraged by the games' success in Japan and their upcoming release in the United States, [[Game Freak]] began development on sequels to them. Rather than releasing the sequels immediately, however, Game Freak instead chose to draw from the story of the anime (which differed from the games in that its protagonist was given a {{p|Pikachu}} instead of the standard [[starter Pokémon]] received in [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Red, Green]], and [[Pokémon Blue Version|Bl]][[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|ue]]) and created a fourth game, {{game|Yellow||Special Pikachu Edition}}, to buy some more time for development on the announced sequels.

Rather than releasing the sequels immediately, however, Game Freak instead chose to draw from the story of the anime (which differed from the games in that its protagonist was given a {{p|Pikachu}} instead of the standard Kanto [[first partner Pokémon]]) and created a fourth game, {{game|Yellow}}, to buy some more time for development on the announced sequels.


Several {{pkmn|manga}} series were also produced in this early period, including [[Pokémon Adventures]], which Tajiri has stated is closest to his original idea of the {{pkmn|world}} the series takes place in.

The much-awaited sequels were released in 1999 in Japan and 2000 in the US. {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} revamped the Pokémon world, bringing it into full color, introducing one hundred new Pokémon and addressing many of the issues that had been present in the original games. For example, two new [[type]]s were introduced to address type imbalances. The anime, manga, and other aspects of the franchise followed suit, bringing their characters into the [[Generation II|second generation]].

Even after the initial worldwide hype for the series died down, the Pokémon franchise remained strong. A third version was produced for Generation II, focusing on the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Suicune}}. With {{game|Crystal}}, a {{ga|Kris|female player character}} was finally introduced, and the games became fully dependent on the [[Game Boy Color]], abandoning the now long-outdated [[Game Boy]]. [[Generation III]] was announced for the new [[Game Boy Advance]], and at least among fans, the hype returned.
