HGSS dex entries

[Nando]

By trading an English Pokémon into HGSS, it is possible to view English dex entries. For example, Heatran:

The JP entry on the page is "Blood that burns like magma flows through its body. It dwells in volcanic caves."

The English entry, however, is the same as the DP one.

What's the policy on this?

I think we should wait till the English editions before we confirm anything.

The policy on this is to wait until the games come out in English, ideally. If you really want to, though, you can put in the hiragana/katakana of the Japanese entry and have the {{tt}} template hold the translation in English.

Obviously the English dex entries in foreign-language Pt and HGSS are the English dex entries in English DP, much like how the foreign dex entries in English Pt and HGSS will be the ones from the foreign versions of DP.

We ARE NOT going to put the "forin dex derp" English entries, because those are not the translation of any damn thing but the DP entries of the same Pokémon. DP. Not HGSS. Honestly, guys.

I honestly didn't know :/

At least now it makes sense.

Don't worry, you're not the first... at least you asked, though.
