The Japanese word meaning Pikachu is Pikachuu. The word was made-up for Pokemon and has no other meaning. With it being so iconic for the Brand it remained practically the same when brought to the English language.

∙ 11y agoYou probaly watch the English dub of the Pokemon anime. But Pokemon was invented in Japan, so really the anime Pokemon is called Pocket Monsters. But when Satoshi (Ash), Kasumi (misty), or Takeshi (Brock) catches a pokemon, they simply call it a "Pokemon." So really the word Pokemon is the same in both countries.

∙ 12y agoThe Japanese name for "Pokemon" is "Pokemon." It is a combination of two words, "poke" coming from "pocket," and "mon" coming from "monsters." Thus, "pokemon" is short for "pocket monsters."
