"Pokemon" feels like its plural version should be a variation, not Pokemons.

Pokemen.

Pokemonen.

Pokemena.

Many Japanese words don't take an s even when plural, and I've always thought Pokemon follows this. "Pokemons" sounds like non-native English.

Pokemon

Sushi

Anime

Kanji

Samurai

Koi

Origami

Haiku

"Pokemons" isn't the plural either. That's what boomers called it when they didn't understand what it was the kids were obsessed with.

Pokemon is an uncountable noun in my book
