Actually, it's Gorūgu, Goruugu, or Gorugu; however, the point remains that this page has an incorrect title. --SnorlaxMonster 06:53, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

This name will do until we get an official romanisation. The 'r' sound is the equivalent of both 'r' and 'l', so it could go either way; if it always ended up as 'l' we would romanise it that way. As for the ending 'u', it isn't always dropped, so it is not incorrect to leave it. --SnorlaxMonster 12:45, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
