They got rid of the Catch em all slogan after Gen 2 though it did come back I think for Gen 6 I think once Pokemon Go made Pokemon popular again with casuals.
Also Pocket Monsters was the name of the games until I think Gen 8, Pokemon was only an abbreviation, it's only in the last decade or so that Pokemon was also the name of the franchise in general.
Let's not forget that the gaijin names for the different Pokemon became the official international names, only Japan has their own names for the Pokemon. Other countries have to use the english puns as their names.
