::Otherwise, some of your translations are a bit too literal that they are losing the context/accuracy offered on some of these posts. You called [[move]] "ability", and {{TCG|Basic Pokémon}} "Seed Pokemon", and you called "Hige no hi" Beard day even though Galarian Mr.Mime and Galarian Weezing have mustaches and not beards, among some immediate examples. Other things include literal translations of things like '''ツインテール''' to Twintail, even though that's not a thing in English (We call that Ponytail). We are an English wiki, so we have to cater to our audience. | ::Otherwise, some of your translations are a bit too literal that they are losing the context/accuracy offered on some of these posts.

::I'll be going through your changes one last time to bring back some of that accuracy. I will also be going through some of the post changes to modify the ones that I think could be improved still (only some, not many ^_^), but since translating like this is left up to individual interpretation, I won't be too picky lol. If we still disagree on some of them, I'd like to continue talking it out here, instead of going back and forth changing each other's edits, so that we can avoid starting an [[edit warring|edit war]] and breaking the rules.

:I understand what you're saying regarding the Days, like Beard Day and Twintail Day, but these are the names of real Japanese events, surely it is disrespectful to Anglicise their names simply because Americans have never heard of them. As for the changes to the Pokedex entry text, that's because I don't know the actual Pokedex entry text, so I just translated what it says, and I have tried to be as literal/close as possible to the original text as per the digits debate. There are still many I think with translations that could be improved. P.S. I explained about the Meowth edit so that you'd understand my reasoning... It would be stupid of me to enter an edit war with someone in admin able to suspend my account. [[User:Finger|Finger]] ([[User talk:Finger|talk]]) 19:22, 8 September 2023 (UTC) | |||
