Ugh, the Shogagukan Asia release of volume 52 is out, and Lack-Two and Whi-Two had their names changed. Great, now I have to change the pages and the links, which requires effort. Problem is, what do we name the articles? Back when the arc started, we didn't label them with (Adventures) like the other Dex holders because Rakustu/Lack-Two and Faitsu/Whi-Two aren't names (as far as I know), and thus the chances of other characters popping up with those names are near zero. But now their English names are Blake and Whitley, which are actual names. There are no pages with those names ('cept for [[Blake Hall]], but who remembers him?), but I wonder if we should just link them as Blake and Whitley or Blake (Adventures) and Whitley (Adventures). Also, since Shogakukan Asia is usually the same as the VIZ releases (as far as I know), that would mean it's safe to assume we won't have to change the pages again next month when it's released in the US, or should we play it safe?

:Do you happen to know if the copyright notice in the volume mentions VIZ Media? If it doesn't then it's a different translation. I have SA volume 43 which uses the same names but it's a different translation. Whereas in the R/S omnibus volumes it mentions in the copyright notice that it's the VIZ translation. So it's likely to be the same names regardless but if VIZ isn't mentioned in the copyright notice then I would wait since it's only a week or so until the VIZ volume comes in January and it would be super annoying to move all the pages then move it again just in case it's different. Either way if those are the names, or similar, I would name it as (Adventures).
