Since 2019, the official Chinese translations of both "Pocket Monsters" and "Pokémon" have been unified under the name {{tt|寶可夢 / 宝可梦|Bǎokěmèng / Bóuhómuhng}}, an approximate transcription of Pokémon.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20191001153048/https://cn.portal-pokemon.com/topics/event/190801190000_post_15.html The Pokémon Company变更“精灵宝可梦”的简体字名称为“宝可梦”] (archived)</ref> Previously, after the release of {{g|Sun and Moon}} in 2016, the term "Pocket Monsters" was distinguished by translating it as {{tt|精靈寶可夢 / 精灵宝可梦|Jīnglíng Bǎokěmèng / Jīnglìhng Bóuhómuhng}}, including the word {{tt|精靈 / 精灵|Jīnglíng / Jīnglìhng}} (creature). According to [[Tsunekazu Ishihara]], the intention of the rename was to keep the pronunciation of "Pokémon" consistent throughout the world. However, the newer name still takes its former translations into account by incorporating parts from the two into it.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWSCYwGkCkY February 2016 Pokémon Direct] ([https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm28306571 archived])</ref>
