For the Medabots Research Center, both Research Institute and Laboratory are valid translations for 研究所 (Kenkyuusho).

Laboratory or Research Institute?[edit]
For the Medabots Research Center, both Research Institute and Laboratory are valid translations for 研究所 (Kenkyuusho). Although its theme music is titled "Institute", I think Laboratory is better because the building has "lab" written on its door in this game, and the theme's version for the lab in Medarot 7 (different city, but also being a "Medarot Kenkyuusho" where Dr. Medarot and Nae can be found) is titled "Medarot Lab". --Metal Beetle (talk) 14:37, 10 August 2024 (MDT)
