==Broken Subtitles/Closed Captioning==
In the video early in the article, I noticed that the closed captioning had an error.
The error appears to be that an apostrophe symbol has been affected by [[Mojibake]], specifically, <code>â€™</code>.
There are other, similar errors other than the one I mentioned here.
Should this be fixed? [[User:Realicraft|Realicraft]] ([[User talk:Realicraft|talk]]) 00:17, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

== Error in Name Section ==

The section of the article that explains the name Pokémon incorrectly calls the name a contraction, when it is, instead, a portmanteau. Here is why: "…contractions are formed from words that would otherwise appear together in sequence [usually with an apostrophe], such as do and not to make don't, whereas a portmanteau word is formed by combining two or more existing words that all relate to a singular concept" [[Portmanteau|(source)]].

'''Article Reads:'''
"The name Pokémon is the romanized contraction of the Japanese brand Pocket Monsters (ポケットモンスター Poketto Monsutā)."

'''Should Say:'''
"The name Pokémon is the romanized ''portmanteau'' of the Japanese brand Pocket Monsters (ポケットモンスター Poketto Monsutā)."

:The [http://www.gamingtarget.com/article.php?artid=6531 source] itself says its a contraction. "Poketto Monsutaa is translated to Pocket Monsters in English, but that would have to change to the popular contraction Pokemon once the game was exported to other countries." - since the [[WP:RS|source]] supports it being a contraction, that's what we're going to have to go by. Anything saying otherwise would be [[WP:OR|original research]].—[[User:Mythdon|<span style="color:green">Mythdon</span>]] ([[User:Mythdon|<span style="color:teal">talk</span>]] • [[Special:Contributions/Mythdon|<span style="color:teal">contribs</span>]]) 01:33, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

{{edit semi-protected|Pokémon|answered=yes}}
we should probably add something about how the rarity effects the pokemon card. [[User:DatBig|DatBig]] ([[User talk:DatBig|talk]]) 00:15, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

== Ranking of the Pokémon video Game ==

As per below link
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_video_game_franchises

should following line be changed as
The original video game series is the second best-selling video game franchise (behind Nintendo's Mario franchise)[16]
too
The original video game series is the third best-selling video game franchise (behind Nintendo's Mario franchise  and Super Mario franchise)[16]

Because this page says Mario and Super Mario are different franchises.

== Stuff that has to urgently be done on the article. ==

# To change the profile picture into the original Japanese logo.
# To consider the article a featured article.

I'm not asking politely to do this, this HAS TO BE DONE ASAP.  <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Supercontributor|Supercontributor]] ([[User talk:Supercontributor#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Supercontributor|contribs]]) 23:33, 18 January 2019 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
