I’d rather annihilate them but I guess that’s a start…
They’re pretty much non-existent in Japan.
Lol Japan doesn’t like Microsoft like Microsoft doesn’t like anyone but themselves.
Haha that sounded very sarcastic:

Well, THANKS lamatsucubo >:(

“Yeah but they’re still doomed”. Cries the haters.
Nintendo and Level 5, not surprising. Pokemon Co. NOT No 3, not THAT’S surprising…
If I’m not mistaken, the Pokemon Company is actually in charge of Pokemon merchandise, not the games.
And Sony and Microsoft is no where to be seen, good.
