:::::::::*Using official names exclusively is not an unnecessarily bureaucratic measure; instead, it prevents debates like this where people are attached to the old fan names. There is nothing wrong with using a fan term, as long as no official term exists; once one does, we should change to the official term. Likewise, if something has its official name changed, we should also change the way we refer to it, even if the old official term is more popular. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 08:01, 10 August 2013 (UTC) | :::::::::*Using official names exclusively is not an unnecessarily bureaucratic measure; instead, it prevents debates like this where people are attached to the old fan names.

::::::::::The page is not moving until XY are released, and we can properly determine if there are now any official names. The way I read the Vitamins is that it's referring to the stat before temporary changes are taken into account. That is, the games are using "base" to refer to the stats ''before other modifications''. The descriptions use "base" with a lowercase b, suggesting that they are using base simply as a word, not as an official term, in which case it would more than likely be capitalised. The use is required to clearly set them apart from in-battle stat boosting items, which are temporary effects. At this point, it looks more likely that EVs will get an official name, since they're now somewhat visible. The page will also not be moving to "Stat levels". That's a description, the graph shows the levels of the stats. <span class="sc">[[User:Werdnae|<span style="color:#2D4B98;">Werdnae</span>]]</span> <small>[[User talk:Werdnae|<span style="color:#009000;">(talk)</span>]]</small> 22:15, 10 August 2013 (UTC) | ::::::::::The page is not moving until XY are released, and we can properly determine if there are now any official names.

:::::::::::I should point out for future reference that the Japanese release seems to have referred to what was named base stats on the English site as Kiso points, which is what the Japanese have supposedly always called EVs. Obviously a moot point right now, though it may be something to keep in mind if the games don't clarify this any further. - [[User:Blazios|<span style="color:navy">Blazios</span>]] [[User Talk:Blazios|<span style="color:limegreen"><sub>talk</sub></span>]] 23:05, 10 August 2013 (UTC) | |||
