Default Rocket Gang (#8122)

Can we add Shinichiro Miki, Megumi Hayashibara and Inuko Inuyama as members, please?

I've added them, but shouldn't they be called "Team Rocket"?

I guess "Rocket Gang" is the more accurate translation of "Rocket-dan". I took it since Revoc went with it on this Pokémon album.

Since the difference seems negligible I'd go with Team Rocket since it's an established term in the west.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with Pokémon franchise.

Rocket Gang is really the literal translation, and Team Rocket is the name in the American version.

Edit: OK, seanne, I'll change to Team Rocket.

Hmm, thinking about it more I'm not sure we should translate the artist name at all, since that's not something we normally do.

Feel free to change if you prefer. Also, I think that Rocket Gang or Team Rocket can be added on variations field.

Edit: I've changed for Rocket Gang.

I think Rocket Gang is the best translation...though they changed it for the USA version because "Gang" has such a negative connotation over here.

If we treat it like we treat game titles, we should either go with the Romaji (Rocket-dan), or the official localization (Team Rocket).

Rather than their voice actors, the members now would be Nyarth, Musashi and Kojiro.
