::::Absolute refusal to use a term that isn't "official" makes your oppose weak. Tell us why Prat falling is the better/more used/more well known name. Don't tell us it should be used because it's "official". And you are not correct about smashers using it because "they didn't know the term prat falling". Like with tech, tripping is a more natural and intuitive name, which is why it's the name used by nearly everyone as opposed to prat falling.

:::::My refusal to use anything other than official terms is indeed a personal thing, but this is a poll asking for people's opinions, and that's what I have to contribute. I also believe that if official terms are used, it is more informative. Someone who has never heard the term Ukemi before could search for Tech, and be redirected to Ukemi, and instantly learn the true name. Sure, the official name is in the article, but if someone was just skimming through the page to learn how to perform the technique, they might not notice. We opposed the idea of a fanon namespace on this Wiki, so why have a fanon name?

::::::''My refusal to use anything other than official terms is indeed a personal thing''

::::::So you admit to bias here, thus weakening your oppose.

::::::''I also believe that if official terms are used, it is more informative.''

::::::What exactly makes prat falling "more informative" than tripping? Being the official term does not make it "more informative". When someone falls, do you say they had "prat fall" or "tripped"? About everyone is going to say the latter.

::::::''Someone who has never heard the term Ukemi before could search for Tech, and be redirected to Ukemi, and instantly learn the true name.''

::::::This is relevant how? And your definition of "true name" has no value here.

::::::''Sure, the official name is in the article, but if someone was just skimming through the page to learn how to perform the technique, they might not notice.''

::::::Someone not noticing the official term is not our problem, and your hypothetical user surely doesn't care in your scenario what the official term is.

::::::''We opposed the idea of a fanon namespace on this Wiki, so why have a fanon name?''

::::::Fanon is fan made material (such as machinamas, flash games, and fan fiction). A term used by the community for something ingame is not fanon. [[User:Omega Tyrant|Omega]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|Tyrant]] [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 06:16, 7 December 2011 (EST)
