The title of a page about a real person should usually be the name they are most commonly known by in English in the Pokémon franchise. | |||
All modern persons should have their names given in Western order: first name first, last name second. Since the definition of "modern" may vary from culture to culture, for the Japanese, all names from the [[wp:Taishō period|Taishō period]] onward should be given in Western order. Names from the [[wp:Meiji restoration|Meiji restoration]] may be given in Western or Eastern order—use prevailing convention on a person-by-person basis. Names prior to the Meiji restoration should be given in Eastern order. | All modern persons should have their names given in Western order: first name first, last name second.

When a person has a specific preference for the way their name is rendered, or where convention differs, use that instead. For example, use [[Hiromoto SIN-Ichi]], [[Ikue Otani]], and [[Rica Matsumoto]], instead of Shin'ichi Hiromoto, Ikue Ōtani, and Rika Matsumoto. | When a person has a specific preference for the way their name is rendered, or where convention differs, use that instead.

If a person has indicated they no longer wish to be known by the name most commonly used in the Pokémon franchise—such as if the subject is a transgender/non-binary person who changed their name, or if the subject has explicitly expressed desire to be represented by a different name—their chosen name should be used for the title. In all prose, their chosen name should also be used. In credits where an old name was used, their credit should be documented as a footnote (such as <code>Chosen Name<nowiki><ref group="note">Credited as "Credited Name"</ref></nowiki></code>), or another format if specified by a project's manual of style. | |||
