:Based on that logic there should be no Japanese at all, this is of course an english wiki. If you wanna put Japanese in make it correct at least. It's quite insulting to assume everyone who speaks english is a fuckwit who don't know other languages have different possessives. Even if you didn't know that, how many brain cells does it take "Satoshi no Fushigidane" means "Ash's Bulbasaur" in Japanese when it says "Ash's Bulbasaur, japanese: Satoshi no Fushigidane".

::I'm in favor of changing the Japanese titles to proper grammar. Yes, it's an English wiki. Yes, the plural "s" makes it easier to understand... in English. The names are in Japanese however; if you're reading the Japanese title, then chances are you know Japanese, or want to know it. It's an insult to non-Japanese speakers to dumb it down, and it's an insult to Japanese speakers to spell it incorrectly. We're Bulbapedia; we provide some of the most useful Pokémon information on the web. If I want to know a Pokémon's moveset, I check here first. If I want to know what happened in the last episode of the DP saga, I check here. And if I wanted to know the ''correct'' Japanese title for a character or his Pokémon, I'd check here. And I'd automatically assume, like the rest of the site, that the title would be correct. | |||
::And for the non-Japanese speakers, if they want to know what the name means, then they can just read the English title... it's right on the top of the page... --[[user:Jioruji_Derako|<font color="#237d00"> '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>'''</font>]]<small>[[user talk:Jioruji Derako|<font color="#237d00">''.cнаt'''''^'''</font>]]</small> 18:25, 24 August 2008 (UTC) | |||
