It's MANAPHY not MANAFI

[Pokémon Master Josh]

Serebii.net is the only site I've seen who are reporting that this pokémon is called Manafi... everywhere else says Manaphy, because of the romanisation or something.

Umm...no

If you actually did some research into this you would find that both Manafi & Manaphy are accurate translations. Those sites are just using it as that was the english provided when the name was trademarked...but on many occassions the english given when trademarked actually takes away from the intended meaning of the name so whenever possible, and when the trademarked english is different from the translations we do, we tend to stick with the translations.

Both are right, we're just not anal enough to say that ours is the only way and that all other people are wrong like certain other sites and people who go by an abbreviated name do

Simple as that

Also, many, many, many sites report MAnafi aswell, just because like 10 don't doesnt make them right as they are all influenced from the same person who is doing this "Manaphy is right, Manafi is wrong...I rule you suck" stuff

Joe wanted this open, AL.

*reopens*

Wow, that's weird. Why should this stay open? Well, I might as well say that I like Manafi better anyway. And yeah, Joe's right. You shouldn't go believing what other websites say just because they claim they're right.

Himiko you suck, Joe
Himiko >:O
Serebii Dani - You didnt need to close that thread
Serebii i wanna use that as a poitn against the anal retards
Serebii
Himiko there's already a Manafi thread
Serebii its not the fact that its a Manafi thread
Serebii its the fact that people are moaning about Romanizations and Literal Translations
Serebii leave it be
Himiko alright, Joe, reopen the thread if you wish
Himiko I just closed it because I thought that's what you would do
Himiko since you already had a thread
Serebii Dani - I know

He posted while I was closing it, that convo happened, then he opened it back up. And that's why it's open.

Well, I understand it doesn't make any difference but when all the other sites I've been on (including Wikipedia) say it's Manaphy, it just adds to the confusion if serebii.net uses a different name. I'm not going to ask for it all to be changed or anything but I much prefere the name Manaphy and so I'm going to use that when refering to it. It's not that I'm a stubbon git or anything but I just think it's a better name. Like when it was Rukairo or Lucairo, I used Rukairo because I prefered it. So, it would've been easier if serebii.net had reported it as Manaphy when other sites were using Manaphy but I don't think it should be changed now as it'll just confuse people even more.

To Himiko:

But what else are people going to add to this thread besides "I agree?"
I understand Joe wants people to find out about this, but can't they do that with this thread being locked? Latios is right, there is no point to this thread. Besides, a locked thread brings more attention anyway lol.

Serebii.net is certainly not the only website with 'Manafi' called 'Manafi' on it. Try typing 'Manafi' into google before you say that 'Manafi' is the wrong name. People these days
