What is Meaning of the word Pokemon ?
Praise be to Allaah.
We have heard many suggestion as to the meaning of this world, which
may be exaggerations made up by some people, or they may rumours
spread by competitors.
The correct view is that this is a name that comes from Japan. It is
taken from the (English) words "Pocket monster" and means an animal
that is small enough to fit in one's pocket. "Pokemon" is an
abbreviation of these two words.
And Allaah knows best.
