That Pokey Man game! (Score 1)

Does anyone think that the PokeMon name helped to generate buzz for the game in America? It seemed like for years "PokeMon" was unpronouncable for adults and yet it became the biggest thing ever. If the semi-gibberish PokeMon name was responsible somehow for generating interest for the game in the English-speaking world, perhaps Nintendo is wise to replicate the "What's that mean?" factor with the Wii.
