Well, that's kind of a duh. Gamefreak doesn't do the foreign localization.

That's something you got me on. Though a big time MMO would require something like a PC, and they're asking for PC/web producers (not programmers). They specifically said that they're not in the Microsoft Xbox360/Sony Playstation 3 war so there is that possibility, especially since Sony has been releasing MMO's (Everquest 2, Vanguard, Star Wars Galaxies) for Windows and they're the two fighting. They even have the Everquest line on the PS2 itself.

They're not asking for developers or anything else that would mean "outsider infection". They're asking for producers, like the ones NoA has. I believe that the artists they're looking for are Japanese.

Well, considering that they're also looking for 3D artists, I find this unlikely. I wouldn't go all extravagant with 3D art and all for just a "little community". You could easily hire a couple vector artists cheaper than a team of 3D artists.

This is why I think it's going to be either a heavy PC-based MMO or a lighter DS/Wii MMO. Though I could be wrong, this is just what I'm seeing after I put the parts together.
