I have doubts that this "Felina" spelling is accurate. It sounds like someone came up with it by ear. I've always believed the correct spelling to be "Philena"; the closed captioning of movie 2 uses this spelling. Does the DVD subtitle contradict the closed captioning? --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 00:02, 4 December 2008 (UTC) | I have doubts that this "Felina" spelling is accurate.

::It's likely. Plus, Felina (according to this website's spelling) www.behindthename.com/name/felina ... it's of Late Roman origin and it's also Dutch. It's noted (by me and whoever updated/made the site) that Philena doesn't show up as an alternate spelling; for a female name. My guess, (if this was closed captioned in English) is that the "Americanized" spelling (grammar Nazi for you) of Felina would be Philena. I don't like the way this is written because of the entire (and Felina is a prime example) of foreign names being Americanized and not spelled out phonetically. Also, Philena; break it down. "phi" is the twenty-first letter of the Greek alphabet. It depends on the speaker and one's knowledge of short and long vowels. I really think it's Felina; see above for my evidence. Plus, I really think it should be changed, because the name itself has late Romann (as in when Latin was more commonly used) origins.

Didn't she say all the Pokémon on Velencia Island her raised by her? Shouldn't there be a Pokémon section for her? - [[User:ElectricArbok|ElectricArbok]], 22:13, 2 January 2009 (UTC) | Didn't she say all the Pokémon on Velencia Island her raised by her?
