::The reason had been discussed before. The reason is to make it clear that the article is about a new Japanese episode, not a dub. And if this get changed, my edits on Bulbanews will go down. ''Drastically''. Argy had good control of the site, and now it seems to be changing to a less-professional stance.--'''[[User:Immewnity|<span style="color:#88AADD">''immewnity''</span>]][[User talk:Immewnity|the]][[Special:Contributions/Immewnity|mew]]''' 00:23, 22 January 2010 (UTC) | ::The reason had been discussed before.

:::The vast majority of news about the anime seems to be about the Japanese episodes, so why not assume that unless otherwise noted? Also, most of each episode's title is already translated from Japanese into English, like, in this article for example, "Explosive Evolution", so why not translate the character names as well?

::::Matt, Argy left Bulbanews months ago. How has it changed to be less professional? Additionally, I never said anything about changing the policy, but we ''do'' have to do something about it. Whether that does mean changing it or taking a hard-core stance to keep it remains to be seen. All that I'm saying is that I'm open to change with this particular issue. Remember, this is one of our most controversial policies. Personally, I find it a deterrent from reading the articles when they are laced with Japanese like this. And if I were a more casual Pokémon fan with an RSS subscription to Bulbanews, I wouldn't want to have half of the articles in my feed have words in the title in a language that I don't understand. <br>There are a lot of fans that don't give a crap about the Japanese stuff, and we still report it because there are a lot of fans that do. I think that it would be a good idea to ''at least'' think about making these articles a little more friendly to the casual reader then they are. <br>I'd also like to inquire why your edits would go down should the policy be changed. I can't see how different names would have an impact on your edit count, in which case you would be contributing less for no reason other then disliking a policy, like some sort of protest. I wouldn't want to see a BoE member doing that.--[[User:RexRacer|'''<font color="#E7CE6B">Rex</font>]][[User talk:RexRacer|<font color="#42528C ">Racer</font>''']] 04:27, 22 January 2010 (UTC) | |||
