A Pokémon (Japanese: ポケモン Pokemon), also known as a Pocket Monster (Japanese: ポケットモンスター Poketto Monsutā) in Japan, Pokémon for short, is any of the 802 documented types of creatures inhabiting the (fictional) Pokémon World with an innate connection to element-based supernatural powers. In that world, Pokémon are commonly captured and trained by humans, primarily for companionship and/or to be used in popular fighting competitions. Nearly all Pokémon are able to manipulate energy or matter through paranormal means, with the specifics of these abilities determined for each Pokémon largely by their elemental "type".
