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.

So the Japanese word for 'ninja' is 'shinobi'.
