::Ahhhh, I understand. In general, the practices on the wiki for Japanese text that has a set English equivalent (think moves, Pokemon names, abilities, and consistent entries like this), it opts to provide what the localised version instead. Admittedly, this isn't the best practice. I was thinking adding <nowiki>"One swing of its mighty tail can snap a telephone pole {{tt|as if it were|literally: in two like}} a matchstick." </nowiki> would be an acceptable compromise. What do you think?

:Yes, of course. That translation wasn't so easy, so still open to interpretation.

And ask your colleagues about this...「やな感じー！」 ("I feel so bad!" when in quotes) but やな感じー！ (It feels so good! when not in quotes)... and this ニャ (Nya), ニャー (Nyā or meow), ニャーン (Meow), ン (n or hmm), ニャース (Nyāsu or Meowth), ス (su or vinegar) and should ニャーンテ ニャ (Nyante nya) be ニャンニャ (Nyan'nya) or is it because there is no (th) only テ (te)? So confusing. [[User:Finger|Finger]] ([[User talk:Finger|talk]]) 14:24, 7 September 2023 (UTC) | ||
::I was actually pulling from the translations offered on [[Team Rocket's mottos]]. Given the context of the post, I felt the best interpretation would be the one that is the most iconic, which is Jessie and James when they are blasting off, and Meowth at the end of the motto. I will say I didn't completely look too deeply beyond that, I just trusted what the motto page already had written and transcribed it from there.

:That'll do then, just one final thing on that. Because it's the English translation, shouldn't it be "We're blasting off again! Meowth, that's right!" rather than the Japanese equivalent. I have changed it, so if I am mistaken you can change it back. [[User:Finger|Finger]] ([[User talk:Finger|talk]]) 15:23, 7 September 2023 (UTC) | :That'll do then, just one final thing on that.
