Danny continued: "It's impossible actually. Because you can't turn your house into a school.

'Pokémon' is just the joining of two words Pocket and monster. It was inspired by creator Satoshi Tajiri's love of insect collecting as a kid (as you do). He wanted everyone to enjoy collecting bugs, even if they lived in the city. Yeah... 2.

But one mum has caused a bit of a stir online after admitting that she's teaching her five daughters that there's no such thing as virginity.
