In most incarnations of the fictional Pokémon cosmos, a trainer that encounters a wild Pokémon is ready to detain that Pokémon by hurling a specifically designed, mass-producible tool called a Pok Ball at it. If the Pokémon is unable to escape the confines of the Pok Ball, that Pokémon is authoritatively considered under the ownership of that tutor. Later, it'll obey anything orders its new master issues to it from that point onward, unless the tutor demonstrates sufficient of a lack of experience the Pokémon would more readily work on its own volition. Trainers can launch out any of their Pokémon to wage non-lethal battles against other Pokémon ; if the opposing Pokémon is wild, the tutor can detain that Pokémon with a Pok Ball, enlarging his or her compilation of creatures. From time to time the Pokémon could also learn new moves, which are strategies utilized in confrontation. Additionally, many type of Pokémon enjoy the ability to undergo a form of change and transform into a corresponding but stronger sort of Pokémon action figures, a process called evolution. Pokémon already owned by other Trainers cannot be caught, except under special situation in specified games. If a Pokémon completely defeats a contestant in battle so the contestant is knocked out ( i.e, "faints" ), the winning Pokémon gains skill and possibly will level up. When leveling up, the Pokémon's statistics ( "stats" ) of battling talent increase, for example Attack and Speed.

The postulate of the Pokemon action figure universe, in both the video games and the general fictional world of Pokémon, stems from the hobby of insect collecting, a popular pastime which Pokémon executive director Satoshi Tajiri-Oniwa enjoyed as a child. Players of the games are delegated as Pokémon Trainers, and the two general goals ( in most Pokémon games ) for such Trainers are : to complete the Pokdex by picking up all of the available Pokémon species found in the fictional area where that game happens ; and to train a team of powerful Pokémon from those they have caught to compete against groups owned by other Trainers, and eventually become the strongest Trainer, the Pokémon Master. These themes of picking up, coaching, and battling are present in pretty much every version of the Pokémon franchise, including the video games, the anime and manga series, and the Pokémon Trading Card Game.

The name Pokémon is the romanized contraction of the japanese brand Pocket Monsters, as such contractions are common in Japan. The term "Pokémon", additionally to referring to the Pokémon franchise itself, also collectively appertains to the 493 fictional species that have made appearances in Pokémon media as of the up to date release of the most recent Pokémon role-playing game ( RPG ) for the Nintendo DS, Pokémon Platinum. Like the words deer and sheep, the word "Pokémon" is matching in both the unique and plural, as is each individual species name ; in brief it is grammatically correct to assert both "one Pokémon" and "many Pokémon". In November 2005, 4Kids Entertainment, which had managed the non-game related licensing of Pokémon, announced it had accepted not to renew the Pokémon representation agreement. Pokémon USA Inc. ( now The Pokémon Company international ), a subsidiary of Japan's Pokémon company, now oversees all Pokémon licensing outside of East Asia.
