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 sloganPokémon! 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)
