"Needed to know"? How?
Though I'd imagine they weren't called Pocket Monsters until pokeballs were developed. How long ago was that, would you say?

I mean, would you feel more offended if I called you a Pokemon or a monster?

That depends. If the norm is "monster", then pokemon would be worse. If the norm is "pokemon", then monster would be worse. No word has inherent negative connotations, those exist only in interpretation.
But anyway, let us end this line of conversation, it is getting boring.
As our characters grow more awesome, we're totally gonna need theme songs, for when we're all being awesome.

Well, then the question is... Why did Impact choose to be a Slayer, out of all professions like a snagger or a trainer or some other non-pokemon related profession like a merchant or doctor? The choice to be a Slayer is pretty much forthcoming collabrative evidence. Your job is to personally put down or downright kill pokemons. It's much easier to believe that Impact did know what the term was or that he used the term with the intended negative emotion like hatred or revenge if his future was to go a step further and deal powerful and even lethal blows to them.

Wrong line of argument! Logical fallacy, right there. You're assuming he hates pokemon, and looked for the profession that would most easily let him kill pokemon to avenge himself. Even if your character could formulate this train of thought (which he can't because it uses OOC knowlege, the only sign that you have so far of him disliking pokemon is his utterance), it'd be wrong. His goal was to fight crime. The only available job was slayer. Or do you suggest he should have gone trainer? How would that make sense? He went slayer to join the police force, to fight crime. Kill pokemon is an added bonus.
