Japanese Lesson from Pokémon ♪ (1)

Pokémon launched by Nintendo at the beginning about 25 years ago and now Pokémon is well-known all over the world. As many of you know, with a slogan "Pokémon! Gotta catch 'em all!",
a boy whose name is Satoshi, a Pokémon trainer,  try to catch monsters and train them to battle with other trainers or monsters.


Here, I would like to explain how to call each monster in JAPANESE.
By remembering how to call monsters in Japanese, you can learn some Japanese words.


Let me start from a slogan said by Satoshi when he catches a monster.
In English, he says;

"Pokémon! Gotta catch 'em all!",

In Japanese,
He says,  ポケモンゲットだぜ！(Pokemon-getto-daze)

"ze" is a phrase used by males. 


Now,  let me introduce three pokemons (^-^)

No.1

フシギダネ is in Katakana.

Fusigi-dane

Bulbasaur

"Fushigi" ふしぎ means mysterious

Dane だね (たね）= seeds

生まれた時から

（Umareta-Tokikara)

Since he was born,

背中に不思議な種が植えてあって  

(Senakani-Fushigina-Tanega-Uete-Atte)

he has a mysterious seed on his back.

体とともに育つ

 (Karadato-Tomoni-Sodatsu)

The seed grows up as Fushigi-dane grows.

Among 18 types （タイプ ta-i-pu）, 

Bulbasaur belongs to grass and poison.

grass＝草（くさ・kusa）

poison＝毒（どく・doku)

Now, say....

ポケモンゲットだぜ！(Pokemon-getto-daze)
