Pokémon (abbreviated from Pocket Monsters (ポケットモンスター Poketto Monsutā) in Japan) is a Japanese anime series, which has since been adapted for the North American and European television market. It is somewhat based on the Pokémon video game series and a part of the Pokémon franchise. Originally a single series, Pokémon, it has since been made into three series including Pokémon: Advanced Generation, and subsequently Pokémon Diamond & Pearl, which continue the story of Pokémon, while its spinoff Pokémon Chronicles or, as it is known in Japan, Pokémon Sunday (formerly Shūkan Pokémon Hōsōkyoku) is a series of stories revolving around some of the recurring characters.
