Core series: Difference between revisions

Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was standard for the Western releases of the core series games to include the label ''Version'' in their title, although this was seldom used by the Japanese releases. In Japanese, Korean, and Chinese, the series is called the '''Pocket Monsters Series''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターシリーズ'''<ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/game-series/ ゲーム ポケットモンスターシリーズ | ポケットモンスターオフィシャルサイト]</ref>, Korean: '''포켓몬스터 시리즈'''<ref>[http://pokemonkorea.co.kr/?inc=game-game_list&GameGroup=P 포켓몬 공식 사이트]</ref>, Chinese: '''精靈寶可夢系列 / 精灵宝可梦系列'''<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIVoUw0h20w&t=9m30s Nintendo SpotLight E3 2017 (附中文字幕) - YouTube]</ref>), as core series games all contain the full name ''Pocket Monsters'' in their title, whereas side series and [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off games]] use the abbreviation ''Pokémon'' in the title instead. However, the Japanese releases of the [[Pokémon Stadium series]] use ''Pocket Monsters'' in English subtitles, despite the titles using ''Pokémon'' in {{wp|kana}}.
