Game Freak did infact develop both Mother and Mother 2, more infamously known as EarthBound, under the company name of Ape Inc. Regardless, Both Pokemon and Mother/EarthBound are first,foremost and cheifly Nintendo owned and/or created franchises, so shouldn't any ''native'' copyrights be valid? Do we have to avoid talking about Mario, too?{{unsigned|Hwrdjacob}} | Game Freak did infact develop both Mother and Mother 2, more infamously known as EarthBound, under the company name of Ape Inc.

:As I said in the edit summary, Game Freak didn't have a part in Mother ''3''. Staff have previously removed copyrighted material from origin sections, including the Mother series (see {{p|Mewtwo}}'s history). | :As I said in the edit summary, Game Freak didn't have a part in Mother ''3''.

:First, I don't have the time nor the inclination to find out which copyrights are held by Nintendo and which are held by developers. I don't care if you think it's dumb; I didn't make the rule, bring it up with the staff if you don't like it. Second, Smash Bros. is not even remotely like putting copyrighted characters as origin inspiration: Smash Bros ''has Pokémon properties in it''. Finally, use the preview button more often. It's annoying to have to keep retyping a message because you found a typo in your last message or you forgot to sign. <small>[[User:Glik|glik]]</small><sup>[[User talk:Glik|glak]]</sup> 01:14, 24 March 2014 (UTC) | :First, I don't have the time nor the inclination to find out which copyrights are held by Nintendo and which are held by developers.

Ok, are we supposed to ignore the various references to other Nintendo owned franchises? Like the Mario game in the Department store, the NES,GCN,Wii, etc., and of course the ''painfully'' blatant origin of Excadrill? It's not like Mewtwo where it was broad strokes; the resemblance is astonishing. Or here's a good question: why is Pulseman on the wiki? If Pokemon references something, it ''references'' something. Oh, and there's a whole page dedicated to references to popular culture, almost none of which are owned by Nintendo.
