::::::*Ponigiri is not a capitalized term. However, that does not mean it is exempted from capitalization when appearing in titles that are capitalized. This is the case with Pokémon Conquest kingdom locations (i.e. Ponigiri Shop) and items (i.e. Ponigiri, Red Ponigiri, Blue Ponigiri, and Purple Ponigiri), but not with the services available at Ponigiri Shops (i.e. ponigiri, red ponigiri, and blue ponigiri).

I'm a little confused about some of the names of places that require the use of "the" before it. I agree with most of them, but I refer to [[Slowpoke Well]], [[Sky Pillar]], [[Eterna Forest]], [[Spear Pillar]], and [[Snowpoint Temple]] without using "the" first (maybe [[Skyarrow Bridge]] as well?). It sounds more natural to me; they're names of specific places. Doesn't the sentence "I went to Sky Pillar" or "I entered Eterna Forest" make more sense than "I went to the Sky Pillar" or "I entered the Eterna Forest"? Admittedly, Sky Pillar could go either way, but I don't think the other four should have "the" used before them.

:Just so you know, this isn't conjecture, this is they way they are officially referred to. The problem is you're viewing them in the wrong way; the Spear Pillar and Sky Pillar are the pillar of the sky and the spear-shaped pillar, respectively, not just something named "Sky Pillar". The Eterna Forest and the Snowpoint Temple work in the same way as "the Snowpoint Pokémon Center". Similar logic can be applied to your other objections. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 05:25, 11 May 2013 (UTC) | |||
