:As you just said, logos are not always reliable. So it boils down to this: all reliable sources use no colon, you are speculating that the title uses a colon based on what you think you see on the side of the box. It's possible the game could end up having a colon in the title, but as of right now it doesn't.

== re:Italicizing "Pokémon" ==

"Pokémon", when referring to the franchise, should never be italicized. I think I gave the example before: you never see ''Google'' or ''Walmart''. So yes we do need to be consistent with this (e.g. I just Mew's article.) Thanks, ''']'''<sup><nowiki>]'''<nowiki>]</nowiki></sup> 19:33, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Game Informer

Hey man, I noticed you just added a review by Game Informer to the review table in the FR/LG article. Do you perhaps have access to the issue of the magazine? If you do, any critical reception from the review that is added to the article would be much appreciated. Cheers, Artichoker 16:37, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Oh good. As for Nintendo Power, if there really are five separate scores for the game, I suppose averaging them would be the best course of action (of course you would need to note in the article that you performed that calculation.) Artichoker 16:52, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

MPT

It has a symbol, but it's not clear what the symbol is. Not to mention that the front has no colon and the official website of the game clearly uses no colon. You are basically guessing that the game uses a colon, whereas there is solid evidence that the title has no colon. Even if the side of the box has a colon, that is not proof. The side of the box for Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock has no colon, the official title does use one. The sides of the boxes aren't enough (neither are logo's in general).

re:Italicizing "Pokémon"

"Pokémon", when referring to the franchise, should never be italicized. I think I gave the example before: you never see Google or Walmart. So yes we do need to be consistent with this (e.g. I just changed Mew's article.) Thanks, Artichoker 19:33, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
