Help:Japanese vs. English names

As you know, this wiki uses the names and terminology from the Japanese version instead of the ones found in the English games and media. Since the majority of the franchise was only released in Japan, during our time on Wikia we found that switching between using English names when they exist and using Japanese the rest of the time was pretty messy-looking and made things much more annoying to organize. So, for the sake of internal consistancy we are sticking to the original names for everything. This does not mean we're completely ignoring the English version, but Japanese names should be used for links and page titles!

Here's a quick comparison of the main differences:

	English	Japanese
Terms:	Medabot	Medarot
	Medafighter	Medarotter
	Medawatch	Medarotch
	Robattle	Robottle
	Medaparts	Parts
Character names:	Ikki	Ikki
	Henry	Hikaru
	Erika	Arika
	Samantha	Kikuhime
	Spyke	Iwanoi
	Sloan	Kagamiyama
	Mr. Referree	Mr. Uruchi
	Phantom Renegade	Phantom Retort
Medarot names:	Metabee	Metabee
	Rokusho	Rokusho
	Sumilidon	Smilodonad
	Neutranurse	Saintnurse
	Kantaroth	Kantaros
	Krosserdog	Bluesdog
	Stingray	Rollstar

Note that these are only a few, and most of the Medarot names were changed in the English version. Be sure to check the Medarot list pages for a full comparison!
