Was it ever used to make fun of the japanese though? I don't know about the US, but at least in my country, since the first time I've heard it, it was associated to the unique visuals, storytelling and gameplay. You had Fallout and Star Ocean, both RPGs but also completely different from each other. One of them would be classified as CRPG and the other, JRPG.

When I was younger I was playing Pokémon Red on a gameboy with a rechargeable battery. It was charging as I was playing, plugged into the wall. I was just outside the entrance to the Elite Four, Pokémon all set up for the battle. I pressed save … and then we had a power cut followed quickly by a surge. The game wiped, everything was gone. I remember the loss still.
