Inconsistencies with 'Pokemon' and 'Pokémon' in the DB

[Rudy]

Hey everyone. First post here. I noticed today while trying to import some Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance games today that there are some issues with Pokémon games in the database. I was trying to figure out why there were no entries found for 'Pokemon Fire Red', yet 'Pokemon LeafGreen' is on there. I figured it out eventually, but I was wondering if this problem can be fixed.

You can edit it by yourself (mouseover the line and a pencil pops up), edit the line and submit the change for moderation.

Bump. Still an issue. I've tried editing these to no avail.

mm is about an issue with scrapping. The correct name acording with cover content is Pokémon, but the scrapper fails to recognize words with diacritics, because that, some contributors change it with pokemon. Now we have alternate naming. When the developers use this alternates for scrapping we could have the issue solved. The scrapper finds pokemon as alternate name and asigns pokémon as sorting name. That's the idea i thing. Same for duplicate roms of several regions. Scrapper could detect it as the same game besides their different naming (included as alternate in database) and group it in the same entry, in the same way it does with multiple disc games.

All Pokémon games should be named Pokémon with the  "é" now - I actually started to rename them all a couple of days before your last post, so now it should be conform.

It seems to be working with the new names in my launchbox.
