The word Pokémon is written as '''פוקימון''' in the Hebrew alphabet. In Hebrew, unlike English, a plural form, '''פוקימונים''' ''Pokémonim'' is often used, and a female form, '''פוקימונית''' ''Pokémonit'' has also been heard in the anime. Since there is no neutral grammatical gender in Hebrew, Pokémon are always referred to as either male or female. | The word Pokémon is written as '''פוקימון''' in the Hebrew alphabet.
