:I would add that their in-game titles of "Being of Knowledge/Emotion/Willpower" are also the localized translations of "知識の神/感情の神/意思の神" (God of Knowledge/God of Emotion/God of Willpower), so calling them the "lake gods" is not far separated from those titles. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 04:35, 24 March 2024 (UTC) | :I would add that their in-game titles of "Being of Knowledge/Emotion/Willpower" are also the localized translations of "知識の神/感情の神/意思の神" (God of Knowledge/God of Emotion/God of Willpower), so calling them the "lake gods" is not far separated from those titles. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 04:35, 24 March 2024 (UTC) | ||

:::Personally I think "Pokémon of the lakes" sounds much nicer, but also I don't think we should be reliant on the anime for names unless necessary. "Pokémon of the lakes" is included within "the three legendary Pokémon of the lakes" as well as having a similar term of "Pokémon of the three lakes." the term itself seems pretty consistent among all the sinnoh-related games with very poor mention of lake guardians. If there's multiple variations, I don't think that's necessarily problematic, we'd just choose the most common one. the [[guardian deities]] have far more names than I can count, and listing the alternatives doesn't necessarily seem to be an issue for them. | |||
:::However, I'm not necessarily opposed keeping the name Lake guardians. In favor of this, Volo says "I imagine there may be Pokémon in there, protecting the '''lake’s guardian'''. Take care." previously this was assumed to be referring to Goodra, Overwill and Zoroark, but looking at the wording moreover that doesn't seem to be the case at all. additionally there's some questlines that all say the same thing (but have a different location name): "If you hope to obtain the Red Chain, you must undergo the '''trial of the guardian deity''' that lurks within Lake Verity in the Obsidian Fieldlands." once again, this was previously thought to be three non-legendary dudes mentioned. but Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf are actually the ones providing the trial, you just have to fight the other three first before taking it. We obviously can't name them "gaurdian deities" because that's already a group, but deities goes with the fact that they are called gods in Japanese, and the word "guardian" is present in the title again.
