There can be very few people in the developed world who remain unaware of the existence of Pok´emon. Yet despite the seemingly endless outpouring of adult concern and bewilderment, it is actually difficult to find a single term to describe it. In popular debates, Pok´emon is most frequently referred to as a ‘craze’ – which of course implies that those who pursue it are in some sense mentally deranged, if only temporarily. Another, rather more neutral, term that comes readily to hand here is ‘phenomenon’. According to the dictionary definition, a phenomenon is something ‘remarkable’ or ‘unusual’; although, interestingly, it can also mean ‘the appearance which anything makes to our consciousness, as distinguished from what it is in itself’ (Chambers, 1978).
