Recently, there have been many articles out there that conveniently translate the meaning of Pokemon as "I'm a Jew". Of course this was followed by the dislike of Pokemon fans. What exactly is going on here? Is there a battle between Pokemon lovers and haters? Or just traffic seekers? By justifying slander with religious remarks in the title of the article?
There are several things that show that the translation of Pokemon into "I am Jewish" is invalid, and cannot be accounted for.
We can take from the language that we understand, which makes more sense where Pokemon means "Pocket Monsters" rather than "I'm Jewish"?
Okay, if the translation in English is not satisfied, let's look at the early history of why it was named Pokemon.
He is Satoshi Tajiri, a boy who lives in the suburbs of Tokyo. His hobby is catching insects and tadpoles that are around his house. Before long, he found his hobby quite interesting and continued to practice catching insects and tadpoles. Not only that, he also invites other children to do the same to have the joy of playing outdoors.
As soon as Tajiri grew up, he and his friend Ken Sugimori and several other friends who were gamers started their own gaming business under the name Creatures. When Tajiri first became acquainted with the Game Boy and other cable game consoles, he imagined insects walking around on the cables. He is also heavily influenced by the fantasy film Ultraman (Ultra Seven), where Ultraman uses a small capsule to fight against large monsters.
With that capital, they began to design a game called Capsule Monsters. After several failed attempts to submit this game to Nintendo, Shigeru Miyamoto, who is Tajuri's new friend, brought Capsule Monsters directly to the Nintendo company. It didn't take long for Nintendo to finance and develop their games. Spent 6 years in the making process and it didn't take long for this game to become trending in the world.
Tajiri's delay in registering the Capsule Monsters trademark made someone else take over the name and they eventually changed the name of Capsule Monsters to "Pocket Monsters".
In that long history, there is no relationship between Tajiri and the Syriac/Suryani party who was slandered by the ***** Pokemon that the Pokemon's name was "I'm a Jew".
So... if you like Pokemon, just enjoy it, as long as you can divide the time between playing and 'playing'.
There's no need to fear, or worry about people's invalid translations of the meaning of Pokemon.
