Dawn of Pokémon

001 About the evolution of the word "Pokemon"

"Pocket_Monster", or "Pokemon" for short, is an incredible creature in this world.Hundreds of years before the Alliance was established, the names humans used to call these creatures were completely different from what they are now.

In ancient times, Pokémon was worshiped as a religion by humans. "Mythical beasts", "gods", and Pokémon have even become religious-like entities, active in a period when god worship was prevalent.

When the technological progress of human civilization was able to compete with Pokémon with the wisdom of its own race, Pokémon were called "elves [Japanese: Seirei, English: Elf]" or "Warcraft" [Japanese: Demon Beast] , Majyuu, English: Demon】".As "elves", they are smart and humane, and live in peace with humans; but as "warcraft", they have terrifying power that far exceeds humans, and can easily kill humans.Both forms of address are widely circulated, but their meanings are completely different.

At that time, humans had not yet mastered how to coexist with Pokémon.Only a handful of special people have the ability to control Pokémon, and they are called "Pokémon" or "Monsters."

As the times progress, ways to control Pokémon are gradually discovered.Humans tried to enslave Pokémon and use their powers for their own use; this attempt was indeed effective, but it also made the relationship between humans and Pokémon worse.

Until one day, as the dazzling white meteorites turned into starlight, the flying mythical beasts brought life to the scarred earth.The humans who witnessed this scene were greatly shocked and regained their admiration and respect for Pokémon.

In order to commemorate this miraculous scene, humans who witnessed the miracle changed the Western Lunar Calendar to the Elven Calendar. The year where the Meteor Night occurred was the first year of the Elven Calendar.Since then, the relationship between humans and Pokémon has improved, and the term "elf" has been widely accepted, while the derogatory term "Warcraft" has gradually become less popular.

Four hundred to 700 years ago, the technology of tangerine fruit balls appeared and was gradually perfected.Pokémon can be put into small balls and carried in pockets - the monster in the pocket, "Pocket_Monster", referred to as "Pokemon", which is the origin of the name that is now commonly used around the world.

The Pokémon Alliance at that time was renamed the Pokémon Alliance decades after the founding of the country. This was the beginning of "Pokémon" being recognized by the world.In contrast, the profession of holding a Poke Ball and controlling Pokémon is no longer a "Pokemon user", but a "trainer" - not "controlling Pokémon", but "getting along with Pokémon on an equal footing and moving forward together" "People.

As history turns, the changes in the relationship between these two completely different species are recorded in the names humans give to Pokémon.Revere them like gods, hate them like monsters, or treat them as partners?How to get along with these incredible creatures will be an eternal question for mankind.
