:Maybe I did miss that, however it doesn't still explain the first two sentences in my previous comments. Also, as I looked at the Wikipedia page again, it says that the term is used with ''UK and several other countries''. Bulbapedia uses '''American''' grammar, and the games are '''Japanese''', but neither US or Japan is listed as one of those countries (it'd absolutely be there if it was used in those countries). <font color="#3fff00">'''UltimateSephiroth'''</font> <sup>([[User:UltimateSephiroth|<font color="#3f7f00">about me</font>]] · [[User talk:UltimateSephiroth|<font color="#3f7f00">chat</font>]] · [[Special:Contributions/UltimateSephiroth|edits]])</sup> 19:33, 2 January 2009 (UTC) | :Maybe I did miss that, however it doesn't still explain the first two sentences in my previous comments.

:::Cities and Towns do not have to have the word City/town in their name to be considered one. For example: Columbus, Ohio is a city without city in its name. Also, words like settlement, village, metropolis are just different subsets of city/town. Cities and towns are collective terms that mean all of those other terms and more. Cities and towns are generic words that conver all circumstances because all the terms mean the same thing, with slightly different characteristics. Cities and towns fits as the name and will stay as such.
