no Chinese and Japanese are total different languages
Actually, many of the characters are the same and while the meaning might by fuzzy, they can usually figure out what is being said when kanji is being used. When the Japanese alphabet is being used, the Chinese will not be able to read it.

How many times do i have to say Pokemon is Chinese it is end of answer Chinese and i will keep saying this over and over Chinese Pokemon?
Pokemon is not Chinese. Made, originated in Japanese, and created by a Japanese person. So stop saying it's Chinese. Get your facts right. Do not confuse Chinese and Japanese. It's insulting to each culture and Pokemon was not created by the Chinese. To say Japanese and Chinese are the same is like saying Arabs and Israelis are the same. Pokemon is a romanization contraction of the Japanese brand, "Pocket Monsters" (ポケットモンスター Poketto Monsutā), a very common thing in Japan. It's licensed by Nintendo, Creatures Inc., and GAME FREAK, corporations of Japan. Japan also is in charge of Pokemon Co. Get it right.
