I noticed you've been adding pronunciation guides to the Pokémon pages. Seems like a good idea, but are they canonical pronunciations from an official source? We don't want them to be subjective. Also, it would probably be better if another field were added to the PokémonInfobox template, rather than misusing the ''name'' field for multiple purposes. It looks like somebody else tried to get it in there in March, but nothing came of it though. — [[User:Laoris|Laoris]] <sub>([[User_Talk:Laoris|Blah]])</sub> 18:51, 6 November 2008 (UTC) | I noticed you've been adding pronunciation guides to the Pokémon pages.

:Do you mean are they from an official source e.g. Pokémon Handbook? If you do, sorry, the're not. Oh, and the name thing? Well, if someone else was to do it... I'm not really an expert on wiki coding. All I know are the basics. Can I just ask, was it a good idea?''[[User:no.1fan|<sub style="color:#4B537;">'''Sonic'''</sub>]][[User talk:no.1fan|<sup style="color:#ED9731;">'''Pikachu'''</sup>]]''[[User:no.1fan/reasons|<span style="color:#FFB6C1;">'''The No.1fan'''</span>]] 18:55, 6 November 2008 (UTC) | :Do you mean are they from an official source e.g. Pokémon Handbook?

::Well, I don't see anything wrong with adding pronunciations. That template is protected though, so we need admin approval to get an edit on it anyway. And yeah, I was referring to an official source like a Pokémon handbook. I don't know if the newer handbooks have pronunciations, but I just found mine from generation 1. It does have pronunciations, but it only has the first 150 Pokémon. Anyway, I'm not trying to steal this project away from you or anything; just want stuff to be official as possible. — [[User:Laoris|Laoris]] <sub>([[User_Talk:Laoris|Blah]])</sub> 19:05, 6 November 2008 (UTC) | |||
