Why isn't this page titled "Ogerpon (game)"?
Basically every time we have a game-specific Pokémon page, we would always use "<Pokémon name> (game)", for consistency and so that we can use the "Template:Ga" template for easy access. Look at our Koraidon and Miraidon pages for example. So i wonder why it isn't the same for this page. My guess is that the precedent was set by the Calyrex (Galar) page, but then... why was that page titled "Calyrex (Galar)"? It's not like there are any other known Calyrex in other regions.
I think both this page and the "Calyrex (Galar)" page should be moved to "Ogerpon (game)" and "Calyrex (game)", respectively. I would like to know others' thoughts first, though. Anzasquiddles 2222(:D)SSSS (talk page) 15:20, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
- Support. It's not like Necrozma (game) is titled Necrozma (Alola). If there is another notable Ogerpon in another region in the future, we can change it then. Meeper12346 (talk) 16:45, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
Ogerpon should be referred with female pronouns
I think it’s just ridiculous how people insist otherwise since plenty of other specific Pokémon with confirmed genders are referred to with either male or female pronouns like Ash’s Pikachu for example and even some who are technically genderless but are still referred to with septic pronouns like Magearna for example. Besides specific Pokémon who can only be one gender aren’t referred to by it anyway like Gallade for example. So personally I think we should just refer to Ogerpon as female for those reasons and stop saying that shouldn’t be done just because the characters in game refer to her as an it.
