:::::(What they said, too, but I'm not rewriting this again, so I apologize.) We do list it? The transliteration is in the tooltip of the katakana on the template, in the event the trademark and transliteration are different from one another (see {{p|Bulbasaur}} vs {{p|Clefable}}). Why are they not out in the open? Because the trademark is the more important information being offered; how it's actually spelled is trivia in comparison. The fact that there are romanizations that are trademarked and slapped on merchandise that are not transliterations should tell you that this is what the developers were aiming for, and it wasn't enough for katakana to display alone. We try to honor that as best we can. | :::::(What they said, too, but I'm not rewriting this again, so I apologize.) We do list it?

:::::Why's it not included in the first line? We try to keep that format as tidy as possibly; throwing in transliterations means pages like {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt|this}} are only bound to get messier. A Pokémon's trademark is as close to a translation as one gets, so that's the format.

Is it possible to add Froakie and Sylveon as a ship?-- --[[User:Handmaiden 101|<span style="color:red">Handmaiden 101</span>]] <small>''([[User talk:Handmaiden 101|<span style="color:red">tAlk</span>]])''</small> 23:22, 22 February 2015 (UTC) | |||
:A few things, but we'll start with: As a full article? No. A one-off character and the relationship having no bearing on the episode does not make it particularly notable that it deserves its own article at this time. I'm not entirely sure it's worth being added to [[Shipping:List of anime shippings|here]], either. | |||
:Two: the pairing is called MoonPulseshipping; WaterNymphshipping is the name of Misty/Valerie, so the name cannot stand as is, if any bit of it where to reach the shippingspace. A note for you. | |||
:Three: When editing your comment, don't resign it to change the timestamp. Preferably, you shouldn't be editing your comment so long after you posted it, either, so pray take care not to, next time.

::(No editing comments, got it) Ah, I see. Too bad it can't have an article, I just like to include small things like that. I'll change the name. By the way, is there any tips to make a suitable shipping page? I'm new to shipping.-- --[[User:Handmaiden 101|<span style="color:red">Handmaiden 101</span>]] <small>''([[User talk:Handmaiden 101|<span style="color:red">tAlk</span>]])''</small> 22:03, 5 March 2015 (UTC) | |||

why did you undo my trivia for ice-type? --[[User:Valehd|<span style="color:cerulean">Valehd</span>]] <small>''([[User talk:Valehd|<span style="color:red">tAlk</span>]])''</small> 22:53, 5 March 2015 (UTC) | |||

A bit old and random, but would [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Me,_Hurray!&diff=304876&oldid=304871 this type of editing] be considered vandalism, or is it okay?

I'm pretty sure the name comes from the phrase "mimic you", not just "mimic". [[User:Technickal|Technickal]] ([[User talk:Technickal|talk]]) 22:06, 19 July 2016 (UTC) | |||
:Per the talk page for this Pokémon, the name origin is heavily disputed. Let's leave it as it is for now, until someone who actually speaks Japanese can chime in. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 04:33, 20 July 2016 (UTC) | |||
