:That would be great. It occurred to me but I am not well versed when it comes to writing the Devnagri script and I didn't want to assume. Feel free to add them as you see fit.

::Apologies for barging into this conversation directly, but I've always been a proponent of using the <code>मगरमच्छ ''magarmacch''</code> format, even for episode titles. This makes it easier for people who do not read Devnagari script to read a romanization of the Hindi word. For example, since I can't read Japanese, I do not know how to read ''アチゲータ'', but I can understand how ''Achigator'' is supposed to sound like. So I would vote for the second format. | |||
::According to how the List of Hindi Pokemon names pages is formatted right now, will the format be needed to changed to show both the direct transliteration and a more accurate romanization? For example, while ''Flemacch'' is a good equivalent for फ़्लेमच्छ, I think a better spelling can be ''Flamacch'' (as it conveys the idea of '''flam'''e '''macch'''). At least in this example, it does not have any [[wp:diacritic|diacritic]]s, so it is fine, but for other words, such as #0772 Type: Null, the Hindi name टाइप : ज़ीरो Ṭāip : Zīro is lierally Type: Zero, so maybe including both spellings on each species page is also important.
