I haven't gone and done this thoroughly yet, but romaji in general aren't necessary to provide for Japanese names since they're easily reproduced by machine. It's better to just provide a translation even if it matches the official localization. The only way in which adding romaji would be beneficial is if we change our {{t|ja}} template to have the romaji as the mouse-over text, like Bulbapedia. Otherwise, I would recommend against going out of your way to add it.

:Oh, sorry about that. Wish I knew about that earlier; I've done hundreds of translations for this site already, and I always provided romaji for the ones with identical translations.

::As I said, I haven't implemented that consistently yet, so I don't fault you for not being aware that was the goal. Still, I hope that clears up the issue going forward. (Also, it's a low-priority change to implement, so I'm not planning on changing those en masse until well after SSBU comes out.)

:::I'll keep it in mind for future translations, and I'll help fix what I've done once the time comes. [[User:FirstaLasto|<font color="pink">♡</font>'''Firsta'''Lasto<font color="pink">♥</font>]] 20:17, 5 November 2014 (EST)
::::Sorry to butt in here, but here's a problem. Bulbapedia has been off-limits to editing for a while due to the upcoming Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, so I'm not sure if I can grab a sample from their romaji templates. --[[User:SneaselSawashiro|SneaselSawashiro]] ([[User talk:SneaselSawashiro|talk]]) 22:58, 1 December 2014 (EST)
:::::First, while it's edit-locked, you can still view page source. Second, our {{t|ja}} already does that. I've implemented it somewhat hastily, but look at a page like [[Mushroom Kingdom II]] to see what I think is a good implementation.

Thanks for checking my work on the translations and such as I go through these for template implementation. It helps to have a more knowledgeable Japanese speaker assist.

:No problem. For most of these you've simply moved around the information already there, so there isn't much room for error, but I thought I'd check on the ones you made changes to as well.

== Regarding prerelease images ==
if it ain't beta it don't need no tag, they're just tagged to do a double-check of "is this beta", if not we can drop the tag [[User:Miles of SmashWiki|<font color="dodgerblue"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;">'''Miles''']] <font color="silver">([[User talk:Miles of SmashWiki|<font color="silver">talk]])</font></font></span></font> 01:39, 7 April 2015 (EDT)
:Oh sorry, I thought pre-release tags were just to dictate that the image was made public prior to release. [[User:FirstaLasto|<font color="pink">♡</font>'''Firsta'''Lasto<font color="pink">♥</font>]] 01:55, 7 April 2015 (EDT)
