Despite the timing, I’m less interested in the argument caused by my recent rash and unfortunate actions( although it would disingenuous to suggest that I haven’t considered the relationship between that and my question) and more curious about the use of in-article terminology. Specifically, I’m wondering about the use in prose, headers, and {{tt|article titles|list titles, particularly}} of the term “Round” for the smaller subdivisions of ''PA'' Chapters. It makes sense in Japanese where most of them are named “{{tt|VS[Pokémon]|e.g. Round 1 VSミュウ, Round 34 VSミュウツー（前編)}}”, but those are not the names in the Viz translations, nor( most of) the Chuang Yi volumes. Accordingly, CY and the Viz 1st editions call them Chapters( which admittedly could be confusing), while the Viz reprints call them {{tt|Adventures|e.g., ADVENTURE 001: A Glimpse of the Glow, ADVENTURE 34: And Mewtwo Too!?}}. I don’t think it makes sense to keep calling them rounds, especially in light of the shift towards English.<br> | Despite the timing, I’m less interested in the argument caused by my recent rash and unfortunate actions( although it would disingenuous to suggest that I haven’t considered the relationship between that and my question) and more curious about the use of in-article terminology.

Is there any opinion or consensus from the aforementioned discussion that would have a bearing on that? I intend to bring it up in the Project discussion soon but I would like to know the hard facts about the staff’s recent decision going in. I’m asking you specifically because you gave the most helpful answer to my question there about the reasons for the sudden policy reversal. Thanks! --[[User:LaprasBoi|LaprasBoi]] 13:57, 6 December 2009 (UTC) | Is there any opinion or consensus from the aforementioned discussion that would have a bearing on that?

:Well, that's a good question... But I'll have to discuss it with CoolPikachu and our Editorial Board. Generally - yes, we're an English wiki, and we prefer English names, with the sole exception of epicodes (PS001 will not be changes to PA001. And yes, there's a reason for that, but I won't go into it now). We can't use chapters, because the story arcs are referred to as chapters in Adventures. We for ADVENTURE 001... Well, a lot of manga series use names like that for their chapters (I can think of [[Mezase!! Card Master]] and [[Pocket Monsters Platinum: Aim to Be Battle King!!]] which use "BATTLE 1", [[Pokémon | :Well, that's a good question...

We still prefer chapters for consistency, but again, we can't use chapters in Adventures. I'll talk to the others about it. --[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|'''<span style="color:#ED9121">electAbuzz</span>''']][[User talk:ElectAbuzzzz|'''<span style="color:#ED9121">z</span>''']][[Special:Contributions/ElectAbuzzzz|'''<span style="color:#ED9121">z</span>''']] 14:10, 6 December 2009 (UTC) | ||
::Though I don’t understand the reasoning,I don’t really care about epicode format too much, more about full-word terminology used in article names and text. Please let me know how the discussion goes. --[[User:LaprasBoi|LaprasBoi]] 15:34, 9 December 2009 (UTC) | ::Though I don’t understand the reasoning,I don’t really care about epicode format too much, more about full-word terminology used in article names and text.
