Today is November 28, 2024.
On this day in 2014, Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire were released in Europe!

Unfortunately, Bulbapedia isn't always great with Pokémon-related capitalization and types. Entries with a dagger (†) next to them are ones we do poorly/not at all. This is all the syntax that the games use, and I have yet to see an example in another situation where they don't.
Note that this is currently incomplete, and I will add more when I notice them. Feel free to make requests on the talk page.
Also, in addition to this page, the manual of style is correct. Where this page an the manual of style conflict, this page is correct, since one of the reasons I created it was to fix the errors spread by the MoS.
Types
- The types themselves are always capitalized, regardless of context
- As adjectives, types are "<typename>-type".
- Example: Squirtle is a Water-type Pokémon.
- As nouns referring to a Pokémon of that type, they are "<typename> type"*†
- As nouns referring to the types themselves, they are "<typename>" or "the <typename> type".†
- Example: Fire is super effective against Grass-type Pokémon.
- Example: The Steel type was introduced in Generation II.
- This means that "Water-types" is never correct, as when hyphenated, they are always adjectives.
Capitalization
The following words are always capitalized:
- Pokémon
- Trainer
- Ability†
- Egg†
- Berry
- Gym
- Double Battle†
- Triple Battle†
- Rotation Battle†
- Launcher Battle†
- Prop
- Décor
- Battle Video
- Box
- Accessory
- Backdrop
The names of all Pokémon, moves, Abilities, items, Trainer classes, and villainous teams are also always capitalized, as are officially named locations (places like "Kurt's house" do not count).
Note that while legendary Pokémon is often capitalized on merchandise, and even on the box of Pokémon Black and White, it is never capitalized in-game, so should not be considered to be in this category.
The
Present
The following locations always have "the":
- The Sky Pillar
- The Eterna Forest*
- The Vista Lighthouse
- The Spear Pillar
- The Snowpoint Temple
- The Skyarrow Bridge
- The Driftveil Drawbridge
- The Tubeline Bridge
- The Celestial Tower
- The Entralink
- The Pleasant Forest
Absent
The following locations do not use "the":
