As I recall the article on Effort Values states the Japanese term has always been "Base Stats". While I usually resist change, I also prefer using the correct or official terms. Yes, it will take some getting used to and I will need to make revisions in all my Pokémon related projects, but the term Species Stats is more accurate and Effort Values (which that discussion is probably on that page) should be referred to as Base Stats to coordinate with the Japanese fans and the recently revealed term that Game Freak uses. As for confusion for the users at large, "Base Stats" would automatically redirect to Species Stats and an explanation would be in the opening paragraph. Thus educating the user on the reason for the change in terms.[[User:White Phoenix|White Phoenix]] ([[User talk:White Phoenix|talk]]) 20:04, 9 March 2014 (UTC) | As I recall the article on Effort Values states the Japanese term has always been "Base Stats".

:Somehow this gets complicated even further, given that one of the [[Pokémon_X_&_Pokémon_Y:_The_Official_Kalos_Region_Pokédex_&_Postgame_Adventure_Guide|official guides]] refers to a Pokémon's base stats as their "stat growth rates", meaning that yet again, the possibility of this page being moved to that name needs to be discussed. At this rate, hopefully we can get the page moved and sorted by the anniversary of the discussion being opened. - [[User:Blazios|<span style="color:navy">Blazios</span>]] [[User Talk:Blazios|<span style="color:limegreen"><sub>talk</sub></span>]] 12:59, 18 March 2014 (UTC) | |||
