Kokuran/Cochrane
Please, don't correct me. I know what I'm doing. His Korean name, 코크런 is by no means supposed to be romanized as "Kokuran". It just doesn't correspond to it. "Kokuran" would be 코쿠란 (sorry for the misspelling I made before, that was an accident. I use a lousy Korean input method). We decided to use the romanize Darach's Japanese name as "Kokuran" because it's a Japanese name of a type of orchid. However, depending on interpretation, it can also signify the French name "Cochran" or "Cochrane". Korean translators, seemingly, chose the latter option and ditched the real etymology (the one with orchid). Not to mention that the Korean's name for the orchid is something else, the less sense "Kokuran" makes in Korean. It's not the first time Korean translators do such an Engrish error. They have done similar error with "Luster Purge" and also, in the anime dub, they called Altomare "아르트말레이", which translates as "Art Malay". They don't seem to be masters in finding the right meanings of Japanese names, especially such obscure ones as "Kokuran". --Maxim 16:05, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
- "Cochrane" looks more like you would pronounce it "crane", which most people probably would. Even if some other website romanizes "코크런" as "Cochrane" doesn't mean that that's the official romanizations of all uses of "코크런". Since it can be romanized as either "Cochran" or "Cochrane", there's really no official romanization.
- And if you weren't reading at all, TTE told me to put Kokuran, until his official romanization comes out (which may or may not ever happen). I'd rather put Cochran myself. ~ solaris 16:44, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
- There are no trademark romanisations for Korean names. If you want something as a placeholder, then what about putting in "Kokeureon". As ugly as it may be, it's actually a conventional scheme of romanisation. "Kokuran" DOES NOT make sense here, it's just a failed attempt to associate his Korean name with his Japanese name, which doesn't really work (those are two different interpretations). --Maxim 16:54, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
- Ugh, do what you want, if it makes you stop bothering me, what with the middle of all these server crashes. ~ solaris 16:58, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Delibird
You do know that the bag that Delibird is holding is actually it's tail right?
then again they're both the same thing I just added it without really thinking about it.. (Ataro 18:50, 2 August 2010 (UTC))
- I don't think it's its tail, since Delibird's just holding it... ~ solaris 18:55, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
