I think this page needs more. It's very game-centric, barely mentioning the anime and manga and the other parts of the franchise that made it a worldwide phenomenon. It also editorializes. Who's to say that D/P makes a "wonderful addition" to the franchise? Just a thought. --[[User:Greengiant|Greengiant]] 18:48, 20 May 2007 (UTC) | I think this page needs more.

I'm glad "Capsule Monsters" didn't stay. If it did stay, they would've been called "Capsümon" or something in America. I don't think "Capsümon" would have the same appeal.--Pokencyclopedia 17:47, 1 September 2005 (CDT)
- Not necessarily, since there wouldn't be any risk of copyright infringment like there was with the Monster in My Pocket franchise.Woopert 21:08, 9 September 2005 (CDT)
The 1975 manga
Both this article and a page on PokéCharms have information on a manga released in 1975 called Capsule Monsters which, according to these pages, was the precursor to what eventually became Pokémon Red and Green. Lately I've been curious about the source of this information, doing several Google searches and even looking through a book about Satoshi Tajiri that I recently ordered from Amazon.co.jp, but so far I haven't found anything.
Now, it's likely that I haven't looked hard enough, but the skeptic in me has doubts about the existence of this manga. Anyone care to direct me to a source so I can set aside these doubts? Woopert 21:08, 9 September 2005 (CDT)
I can find references to Capsule Monsters being the prototype name for Pocket Monsters on Japanese webpages, but nothing specific regarding any manga. --Argy 23:12, 9 September 2005 (CDT)
