∙ 12y agono they are 2 different things to tell you the truth they don't like each other but ya they are somewhat Asian
they are not the same, although some characters (these symbols) in Japanese and Chinese are the same, but they have different pronounciations. Does it make French and English the same thing simply because they share the same alphabet? no!
second, Chinese people didn't adapt Japanese language. Chinese came up with their own language, Japanese adapted Chinese language and improvised it into the Japanese that is spoken nowadays.
and plz don't think they are the same because they are Asian. asians have many different languages, like Chinese, Japanese, Korean, filipino, vietnanmese, malaysian, mongolian .etc
hope it's helpful =)

How many times do i have to say Pokemon is Chinese it is end of answer Chinese and i will keep saying this over and over Chinese Pokemon?
Pokemon is not Chinese. Made, originated in Japanese, and created by a Japanese person. So stop saying it's Chinese. Get your facts right. Do not confuse Chinese and Japanese. It's insulting to each culture and Pokemon was not created by the Chinese. To say Japanese and Chinese are the same is like saying Arabs and Israelis are the same. Pokemon is a romanization contraction of the Japanese brand, "Pocket Monsters" (ポケットモンスター Poketto Monsutā), a very common thing in Japan. It's licensed by Nintendo, Creatures Inc., and GAME FREAK, corporations of Japan. Japan also is in charge of Pokemon Co. Get it right.
