hey friend, that google ngram thing is faked, the OP admitted to it & it can be looked up on google ngram viewer... neat information about cornish, but unfortunately not the explanation for a recurrence of "pokemon" bc that didn't exist in the first place.

Thanks for letting us know. I’ll go back and edit the post now, but I’m leaving it up because it’s a pretty weird double coincidence.
