Should the online games for Pokémon.com, before and after the overhaul, have a page?

As above. I pointed my browser to Pokémon.com, and found domain squatters. Remove the accent, and nowhere on the site is the title pokémon.com, at least as far as I could see. The company responsible is "The Pokémon Company", which would not normally be abbreviated to Pokémon.com.

Well, I could assume they didn't know Alt + 130/0233=é. OptimatumTalk|03:08 23 Mar 2008
That, and I don't think you can have a URL (I suppose MediaWiki is an exception) with an odd character like that. I think you can only have (normal)letters, numbers, dashes and underscores. Tina δ 03:16, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
The é appears as %C3%A9. OptimatumTalk|03:21 23 Mar 2008
I would say the reason they don't have Pokémon.com is because that site is occupied by domain squatters. Otherwise I see no reason Nintendo wouldn't have that as either their main site or yet another redirect to the Pokemon.com site. That is just my own guess, though. --Mike | Contrib 09:18, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
