:What? How does that "clog up" the recent changes? And even if it does, why does it matter? This is something that we both agreed about in the past. You told me that the proper way to write these was to include the "'s" in the tt template. I don't see how this became unwanted? I'm only trying to go through ALL of the card quotes to make sure they are accurate and normalized. Like I'm not trying to sound rude or anything, I'm just legit lost.

::Well, apparently I can't find where we talked about this, maybe it's on a page's summary or it's someone else (Glik?) but I remember being told to do it this way, and well, either way, we should stay consistent, so choose which way you'd prefer, but we need one! :P PS: Personally, I think it's nicer to do like {{tt|Pikachu|this Pokémon}}'s rather than {{tt|Pikachu's|this Pokémon's}}.

:::It has been decreed unworthy to be worth the edit because it effectively doesn't change anything on the page, and the edit shouldn't be done if it is the only thing happening. This parallels the ruling on changing British vs American English spellings. Yes, there should be a standard, and there is ({{tt|Pikachu's|this Pokémon's}}) but because of the precedent set by the rule of "Don't make unnecessary changes," it cannot be changed unless the edit includes additional improvements to the article.
