::I believe we used to have a pronunciation section in the infobox, but it was removed due to conflicting sources. For example, the [[Kanto Pokérap|PokéRAP]] calls Venusaur (I will use ^ above a vowel for short vowel sounds, and _ above it for long) Vênûsor, while "Island of the Giant Pokémon" calls it Vēnûsor.

How come we have Chinchou with the ちょう spelled out as ou, then 提灯鮟鱇 with ō on Chōchin but not on anko? This is all over the place... Either we skip elongated vowels for all names and call the Pokémon Chincho and the name original Chochinanko, or we use Chinchou and Chouchin'ankou or Chinchō and Chōchin'ankō. (I also think we need the ' between Chochin and anko so that people won't read it as cho-chi-nan-ko.) | |||
