The correct plural is Pokemon (or the official spelling, Pokémon), no? Teh Rote 21:20, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
- Incorrect, but still quite common. Weak keep as a mis-spelling or non-standard spelling.--Dmol 21:27, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
- From what I gather, Pokemons is a tongue-in-cheek "Engrish" way of referring to Pokemon. Not sure whether or not that merits inclusion, though.--TBC 21:35, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
- Keep per Dmol. Circeus 23:41, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
- I might say delete since from my experience (I am a fan after all) this is just an example of "being stupid to be funny" which is comparable to what is done in the following extract from a Will and Grace (the sitcom) script
WILL: [TO GRACE] Hi. [TO PUPPY, PUPPY-TALK VOICE] May I bite your snoots? May I bite your snoots from loves?
GRACE: Please stop pluralizing everything.
WILL: But he's so cutes!
GRACE: Look at mes. I can't believe you are still playing with the puppy. You've been home for 3 hours, and you haven't moved. --50 Xylophone Players talk 20:01, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

- Kept. Clearly attestable plural. --Jackofclubs 18:21, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
Pokemons is not the correct plural. The correct plural is simply Pokemon. To say Pokemons is a plural form is just wrong. If you keep this entry you have to note that the form is not the correct form, but only used as tongue-in-cheek.
