:What you added are translations. Transliteration is the process of rendering the characters into letters in a different writing system. As a rule of thumb, words that are based on English words are spelled as how they are in English. --[[User:神奇超龍|<font color="#2B547E">'''超龍'''</font>]]<sub><small>「'''[[User talk:神奇超龍|Chao]]'''」</small></sub> 01:23, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

What is with all the kanji?

...yeah, basically that. There's no kanji in the games, so why are the Japanese ability names written with kanji? 梅子 15:49, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

It needs to be roundied too. TTEchidna 22:44, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
If someone really likes kanji, why not use {{tt}} or a new column? Substy 06:11, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Sort error

Sorting by the index numbers in the table doesn't work right. AztecCroc (talk) 01:56, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Fixed, should work fine now.
(Alternatively, if Cacophony should remain at the top, data-sort-type=number could be added to the third line of {{Langlist/h}}, not sure which is better.) Nescientist (talk) 13:55, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

Inconsistency

Some of the Romaji are actually romaji and others are transliterations. I added transliterations in Gen VIII because the infobox said so.LaprasLaplace 12:26, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
