Video Game Neologisms: Part 1

Seems like there are a lot of new terms that people make up in forums. I saw a newly created word that I thought was clever.

Pokemilking [poh-kee-mill-king] : The recent trend of generating almost identical pokemon games spanning multiple consoles that rely solely on their franchise.

A poster at DS Fanboy, 20XX, used it. I also found an old forum thread post about it. I thought it was both clever, and true. Pokemon was a good game, but lately they have simply been rehashes of the same gameplay, hardly bringing anything new at all. The latest DS game looks like it has the exact same graphics and battle system as all the previous iterations, which is bad considering they started on the original Gameboy. Yes, the freaktastic Cow mutant to the right is an actual pokemon. "Pokemon milk" + Google Image Search = solid gold.
