Well nintendo's Pokemon contract runs till 2013, so the date makes sense...if it IS true, than Sony just made a huge move with that contract.

Stop trolling.

Pokemon is owned by Nintendo.

 

And for the OP, it's surely someone who made that up, maybe the TS himself.

Pokemon is actually owned by a group called The Pokemon Company, but the amount of leverage Nintendo has over The Pokemon Company (because they, you know, created it) is such that it would never leave Nintendo's control. Not sure if Nintendo downright owns The Pokemon Company, even if The Pokemon Company has a measure of autonomy

Nintendo owns Pokemon and created the Pokemon company to manage the licence once the worldwide success came , and the franchise goes far beyond videogames. Making a difference between Nintendo and Pokemon Company makes little sense.
