"Hitmons" is unofficial and "Tyrogue squadron," according to this article, is official. Even though "Tyrogue squadron" sounds terrible, I don't see why we're using an unofficial title when an official one exists. Canonicity trumps aesthetics, sadly.

Even this page doesn't have the unofficial term. I do agree with you with "Tyrogue squadron" sounding terrible since Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan were introduced first. Maybe something with the word "brothers" in the name since they're all male. PattyMan 04:09, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
I don't think we can really take that page as official names. They appear to mostly be "witty" titles (which is also why I don't think we can call it an official usage of "Eeveelution"); for example, it calls the Kanto Fossil Pokémon "Rewarding Rocks" and the Kanto starters "First Friends" too in the same way, neither of which I could consider and official name. --SnorlaxMonster 04:23, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
Should we remove the claim on this page that that guidebook's name is official, then? Pumpkinking0192 (talk) 05:36, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
It's not claiming that it is official. It's mentioning that they were refereed this way by a source. I don't see why it shouldn't be mentioned. MaverickNate 05:41, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
The "Tyrogue Squadron" title was deemed not prevalent enough to become the title for this article. MaverickNate 17:41, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
