The Japanese name on this page says "Ohlonge" but Serebii says "Ooronge". Serebii's name seems more accurate to the pronunciation, so where did Ohlonge come from?

Bulbapedia uses the official trademarked romaji names used by Game Freak. See List of Japanese Pokémon names for reference. --AmbientDinosaur (talk) 16:35, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
Ha, just got an edit conflict to say almost same thing. Guess you beat me to the punch.
Yeah, "Ohlonge" is the official trademarked Japanese romaji name, whereas "Ooronge" or "Ōronge" is a Hepburn transcription of the Japanese katakana name. Worth mentioning that the infoboxes for all Pokemon pages have the Hepburn transcription as a tooltip, including this one. --celadonk (talk) 16:39, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
