	::::2. Since there are various fan spellings, I think it makes the most sense to go with the one closest to how it hypothetically would have been spelled in the canon, which would be "Pokégods". You can tell by looking at all the other canon terms that begin with "Poké-". When there is a space after "Poké" then the following word is always capitalized (e.g. Poké Flute, Poké Doll, Poké Ball, Poké Radar, Poké Kid, etc.) but when there is no space then the following letter is never capitalized (e.g. Pokémon, Pokédex, Pokégear, Pokéblock, etc.) The only exception to this that I know about is possibly the old spelling of "PokéManiac", but I don't think that's even an official spelling (my official Red and Blue player's guide spells that word as "Pokémaniac" which is consistent with the other terms...)

	:::::The fact that it was suggested that the article be moved seemed to indicate to me that neither term was more correct than the other; that's why I brought it up in the first place. If the capital G is definitely correct, I don't see any point in changing the title of the article. Likewise, if the capital G is incorrect, we should probably change it. If it doesn't matter either way, than I do think the g should be lowercase.
