^ Says that James has a last name and it's Morgan. Does not however say where he got the last name or which writer gave it to him.

So I'm confused. I think Wikipedia itself said so, could I get some clarification? xD

It'd probably be in that early episode with his family and the Growlithe, if a last name does exist...

I think it was in the Dengeki Pikachu manga. I can quote Holy Matrimony word for word and not once did "Morgan" ever come up.

(Morgan was the last name of the outlaw Jesse James)

The only chapter of that that I'm missing is the one about Rudy, and it's not said in there.

If it's any sort of official it may be from the VA like with "Brock Harrison" (and I know VAs as sources are iffy sometimes, but Sano's word that Vicious was named for the Sex Pistols bassist was never questioned).

I'm trying to figure out where they got Morgan from. I know it's not in the anime, barely any last names are released. (Aside from Tracey Sketchit and Todd Snap, Gary Oak, Gary Oak and so on) Most of the time though the main character don't generally have last names.

EDIT: So can we agree that James has a last name or doesn't? Evidence shows that he does not yet sources say he does? Just some clarifications

No, he doesn't have a last name in the anime. It's probably just fan-made, or some translators made it up when translating the manga.
