:::Yeah something like "Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf" or "Relationship between Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf" seems ideal (though I prefer the former of these two options, as this page isn't just about their relationship with each other, but their history as a group and interactions with others).

::::I'm not a fan of "Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf" because it can be hard to tell in prose whether it ought to link to the page for three Pokémon or three pages for each Pokémon. "Pokémon of the lakes" sounds fine to me. --[[User:Apopheniac|Apopheniac]] ([[User talk:Apopheniac|talk]]) 16:40, 22 March 2024 (UTC) | ::::I'm not a fan of "Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf" because it can be hard to tell in prose whether it ought to link to the page for three Pokémon or three pages for each Pokémon.

:::::Given that the in-game usage seems to be quite variable ("Pokémon of the lakes", "Pokémon of the three lakes", "Pokémon from the lakes", "the three legendary Pokémon of the lakes" are all used in DPPt, for example), I'm not sure there's a clearly established name for them in the games. There ''is'' a clearly established group name for them in the anime, so I think it would be best to use that name as the title of the page. The main argument against using a clearly established name from the anime when no such name exists in the games that I could see would be if the anime name was based on anime-exclusive lore, so wasn't applicable to other media; however, their status as guardians of the lakes is fairly universal across media, so I don't see a reason to avoid the anime name. | |||
:::::I can see a case for "Lake Trio", although that was a one-off usage in a product description; conversely, "Lake Guardians" has been used consistently in the anime — including both the original DP series and the more modern Arceus Chronicles. If we lacked the anime name, I would probably advocate for "Lake Trio" as the page title. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 10:27, 23 March 2024 (UTC) | |||
