While you are not mistaken, the words monster and pocket are actual Japanese words, which is to say they have become actual words. Kind of like pan = bread in Japanese, and that is from original european traders around nagasaki in ancient Japan. So there for, pocket = pokketo and monster = monsuta are both in Japanese at this time. And while in Japan it is called pocket monsters, almost all kids that buy it, hell nearly anyone who talks about it shorten it to pokemon, probably because it is quicker and easier to say in Japanese that way.
It also happens to have one of the largest standing armies in the world. And the fact that they (the army) are well fed, would lead to the starving farmers. Oh and the slight fact that they do have missles that CAN reach Japan, not to forget their biological weapon technology. All in all I think it is best NOT to underestimate a country that is so volitile. Because of its weak state it makes it much bigger problem.
In Japan the years go by the number of years the emperor has been in power, i.e. its is now the 11th year of Heisei, So some countries still get odd days. My useless 2 yen
Actually both theatre and theater are found in American english. Theatre refers to the place where plays are held, whereas a theater would be where movies are shown. Of course who said American english was used properly anymore anyhow. toku
