The entire Pedia uses the English names when referring to objects in the Pokémon franchise. Why then, do the Pokémon Adventures articles use Pokémon Special? This seems rather inconsistent, seeing as how the rest of the Pedia doesn't do so. One could argue that is title is only used for the first seven volumes, most fans consider the Chuang Yi translations to be canon, and thus, the Adventures title is carried over to the remaining volumes.

Thus, I am proposing that all articles reguarding the series be changed to their English equals, including switching the Blue and Green articles.
 
It is, however, consistent with the rest of the manga articles. Special is, pardon the pun, special, in the sense that it has an English translation, whereas most of the manga do not.
 
As I said before, most fans consider Chaung Yi's translations to be canon (just as canon as Viz's translations), and they have indeed translated all of the manga series, with the exception of Zensho and Card Master.
