Your use of "piktcu" needs to be commented on :)

If you're making a lujvo, that would be "pokyjutsi"; "pokrjutsi" is a type-3 
fu'ivla. However, using "pok" as the rafsi for "pokmone" is contrary to the 
rules of the language. Some fu'ivla have a rafsi formed by deleting the last 
letter (which is necessarily a vowel), but no fu'ivla has a rafsi shorter 
than that, and "pokmon" cannot be a rafsi because it's the concatenation of 
two rafsi. I'd rather see you use "pok" as the rafsi of "pokme".
