:::The point of the transliteration columns on all of the the foreign language lists is to ''neutrally'' reflect the pronunciation of the name in that particular language, including the limitations of the language (like how व is used for ''va'' and ''wa'' sounds in English). | :::The point of the transliteration columns on all of the the foreign language lists is to ''neutrally'' reflect the pronunciation of the name in that particular language, including the limitations of the language (like how व is used for ''va'' and ''wa'' sounds in English). | ||
:::I asked {{u|Adil}} for his opinion, and he said that it would be okay to add a column for the literal interpretations ("Bulbasaur", "Musclebuzz", "Iron Yoddha", etc.) to the list page. The name origins should still go on the individual Pokémon pages though (such as translating योद्धा ''yoddhā'' as "brave", or breaking down names into individual constituent words). I'll note that if there ends up being major arguments over how to interpret the names, the page might end up having to be protected. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 03:50, 17 September 2023 (UTC) | :::I asked {{u|Adil}} for his opinion, and he said that it would be okay to add a column for the literal interpretations ("Bulbasaur", "Musclebuzz", "Iron Yoddha", etc.) to the list page.

{{indent}} Using a text dump linked to from your user page, I found [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PokeMiners/pogo_assets/master/Texts/Latest%20APK/JSON/i18n_hindi.json this] and [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PokeMiners/pogo_assets/master/Texts/Latest%20APK/Hindi.txt this] which contains all the Pokémon names directly spelled in Hindi. Is it worth mentioning on the list of Hindi Pokémon names article? Currently the page only mentions that Pokémon were referred to by their English names in spoken media like the anime. This is the first time I've seen some "official" Hindi spellings for English Pokémon names. Maybe the individual Pokémon articles can have both these Hindi spellings of English names, and the entirely new Hindi names? → [[User:PikaTepig999|<span style="color:#000;">Pika</span>]][[User talk:PikaTepig999|<span style="color:#000;">Tepig</span>]][[Special:Contribs/PikaTepig999|<span style="color:#000;">999</span>]] 08:08, 22 September 2023 (UTC) | |||
