Probably the most famous is ''Pocket Monsters'' becoming ''{{Pokemon}}''. The longer name is official for both the games and the show in Japan, but couldn't be used in America because an early-90s toyline/comic/cartoon had secured the trademark on the name "Monster In My Pocket". This is actually slightly common; some of these [[Manga/KodomoNoOmocha are]] [[{{Saikano}} so]] [[VideoGame/{{Boktai}} ubiquitous]] that they get used as the official English titles.
