"Pocket monster" is a term used as a genericized or descriptive label for creatures in the "monster tamer" genre of video games, directly referencing the literal translation of "Pokémon." While it is the original name of the Nintendo franchise, internet users often use it to describe competitors or clones without explicitly naming the brand. It can also be used to discuss the specific trope of capturing, training, and battling small creatures. The usage often carries a nostalgic or slightly clinical tone when comparing different games within the same niche.
