::::::::Well, "Honor" has absolutely no relation to the original Japanese name: as I mentioned, ほうじょう (豊穣) only translates to "fertility" in the sense of a bountiful harvest. Far from valid, I would call "Honor Shrine" a completely arbitrary name that someone thought sounded "cool."

:::::::::Also, in response to SnorlaxMonster's recent addition of the "move" tag, I thought I might reiterate that I am still in favor of moving the page to "Fertility Shrine"--or, at the very least, something less abhorrent than "Honor Shrine."

::::::::::Well, from my perspective "fertility" sounds a bit awkward. Maybe something like "Good Harvest Shrine"? (And Landlos can be named the "Good Harvest Pokémon".) ...assuming we're trying to go for more accurate translations instead of taking a creative license here.

Even if it did translate to that, it would likely be spelled "{{wp|Honour}}" (the more used global spelling Wikipedia seems to prefer). So if the name change goes ahead, will we need to create redirects for "Honour Shrine" & "Honor Shrine"?

:Bulbapedia uses American spellings. A redirect from the page you move it from is automatically created, so "Honor Shine" would be made by moving the page. I'll make the other one now. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 11:32, 30 November 2010 (UTC) | :Bulbapedia uses American spellings.

::To clarify: Bulbapedia uses American spellings because the games, anime, etc. are all dubbed in the US. Wikipedia just uses the native language of the person who created the page.
