Manga and Anime are literally just Japanese comic books and cartoons. And while Pokemon always bordered between Kodomo and Shounen genres, these are still fucking genres of anime and manga. If Pokemon is not a real anime and manga then Doraemon and Shin-Chan would also not be anime and manga and ppl claiming it are outright retarded.
