Reported English Pokémon names
In regards to the English Pokémon names reported by Serebii.net and several other fansites, these fansites are not official and also cannot be used as sources on Wikipedia, in accordance with Attribution, which is official policy on the English-language Wikipedia (see also Verifiability). Therefore, although your efforts are appreciated, Wikipedia cannot report these names as fact unless there is official confirmation or a reliable non-fansite source which reports these names. Thank you. P.S.: Also see the discussion regarding the reporting of these names as fact at the Pokémon Collaborative Project talk page, as well as the discussion regarding the reporting of these names as rumors. —M_C_Y_1008 (talk/contribs) 14:19, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Serebii.net
Serebii.net has recieved these names from a contact inside Nintendo. These are the correct names, and as such, they should be up. Look at the following link:

 * Sorry, Darkphantom, but sources with anonymous ("A while back I received all the names, how I got that, is not relevant.") sources can't be considered reliable because there is no way to verify their accuracy.—M_C_Y_1008 (talk/contribs) 14:35, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

So how will we know when all the names are released? They've gotta be right, I mean, look at them. They are all relevant to their Pokemon. Darkphantom02 14:39, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
 * The point isn't that Serebii's names are all wrong, it's that they're not a reliable enough source for use on Wikipedia. Many of the names do sound probable, but there's still no way to verify the information. That's why the Pokémon Collaborative Project decided to wait until a more reliable source released the names, such as IGN or something. Feel free to chime in on the discussions at the project's talk page, though. :) —M_C_Y_1008 (talk/contribs) 14:46, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
