Correction on Plurals

I've changed all references of "Pocket Monster" to "Pocket Monsters". I know it's written in Japanese script as "Pocket Monster" (「ポケットモンスター」), but the logo is always subtitled in English as "Pocket Monsters", usually written under the katakana.

Therefore I believe the official Japanese name of the game when written in English text is "Pocket Monsters". --Zilog Jones 10:27, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I thought Japanese plurality was contextual anyway--since the title has no context, it technically could go either way, except that it's referred to as Pocket Monsters when written in English. - 211.28.79.52 05:27, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

This only hold true for the portmanteau "Pokémon", as far as I understand it. When referring to the plural, the phrase "Look at all the Pokémon!" is correct. However, "Look at all the Pokémons!" is incorrect. Drumpler 08:11, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Second party

According to the article, Game Freak is a second-party developer. But they also seem to have developed a game for the PlayStation in 1999. Does anyone know when they become a second-party developer? --Optichan 18:17, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Exclusive?

Why does it say "exclusive for Nintendo" in the description when Game Freak made games for other consoles? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.113.141.20 (talk) 15:07, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

What was the last game they made for a non-Nintendo console? Rhonin the wizard (talk) 15:14, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

It says currently makes games exclusive for Nintendo which would imply that they signed a contract at some point. Something I find very interesting to hear as it would mean the first third party characters to appear in Super Smash Bros. would be Pikachu and Jigglypuff not Sonic and Snake. The information regarding when and how official their current Nintendo only stats should be mentioned in the article. Cillian flood (talk) 10:41, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
