::Would mentioning this in the trivia be enough for the list page? With the names directly on the individual Pokemon page, with an asterisk tooltip mentioning where it is used. → [[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>]] 18:45, 24 October 2023 (UTC) | ::Would mentioning this in the trivia be enough for the list page?

:::Trivia should work; you can use the Thai or Russian pages as reference. I do think how the anime/UNITE/Sleep haven't yet transitioned to the new names isn't trivia, and should be in the intro, personally. There is some nonsense like वलिपक्स (Vulpix, or "Vulipux"), िलिपलिप (Jynx, which I can't even type accurately), and अमीरगो (Gimmighoul and Gholdengo have the same name) that I doubt was intentional, and would make sense in trivia. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 23:38, 24 October 2023 (UTC) | :::Trivia should work; you can use the Thai or Russian pages as reference.

::::I've [[Special:Diff/3836028|added]] a new usage section at the top, with only the errors being in the Trivia section. (Incidentally, I'd [[Special:3835750|written]] a similar paragraph for the main pmin SA page.) While the Pokemon using their English names in Hindi script seems to be an oversight (and Gimmighoul using Goldhengo's name is just an obvious error), the misspellings of Vulpix & Jynx's names could be due to the limitation of Hindi character support in PGO you mention [https://x.com/abcboy101/status/1702727361626562846?t=VLDfDNWcOnZfkgeiDu2LZQ&s=08 here]. I might look into making a table for the other names, but I feel that adding such a table in the trivia section would be better when the table can be collapsed. | |||
::::Regarding the anime, while the dub of S25 is being released weekly, it may have been produced before the names were localized (or atleast translated if not recorded), which is why they still use the Hindi names. Additionally I've found [https://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/technology/pok%C3%A9mon-go-launches-support-hindi-language-gives-popular-pok%C3%A9mons-hindi-names/article67314370.ece this article] which seems to say that Niantic had a bigger hand than TPC in the new names, so it's possible that these names were not adopted by the other companies which handle their parts of the franchise independently. → [[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>]] 00:43, 25 October 2023 (UTC) | |||
