:::...That's what I just said. The "yon" sound comes from papillon, which doesn't need further explanation. The trademarked name isn't actually an English word, it's a Japanese word spelled with Roman characters; it uses whichever letters it needs to to get the intended sound. ''That's'' why there's a y in it: the Japanese name uses characters that make a "yon" or "yah" sound or something like that, which is there because of papillon. <small>[[User:Glik|glik]]</small><sup>[[User talk:Glik|glak]]</sup> 19:11, 18 March 2014 (UTC) | :::...That's what I just said.

Game Freak did infact develop both Mother and Mother 2, more infamously known as EarthBound, under the company name of Ape Inc. Regardless, Both Pokemon and Mother/EarthBound are first,foremost and cheifly Nintendo owned and/or created franchises, so shouldn't any ''native'' copyrights be valid? Do we have to avoid talking about Mario, too?{{unsigned|Hwrdjacob}} | Game Freak did infact develop both Mother and Mother 2, more infamously known as EarthBound, under the company name of Ape Inc.

:As I said in the edit summary, Game Freak didn't have a part in Mother ''3''. Staff have previously removed copyrighted material from origin sections, including the Mother series (see {{p|Mewtwo}}'s history). | :As I said in the edit summary, Game Freak didn't have a part in Mother ''3''.
