:::I never said we shouldn't call the first and third games Mother and Mother 3. However, because the one game actually released here in the US was called Earthbound, the title should be Earthbound (universe) rather than Mother (universe). Again, we don't call Bowser "Koopa", nor do we call Boos "Teresas". Similarly, we don't call the Kirby series the "Hoshi no Kaabi series".

::::(That's because 星のカービィ [Hoshi no Kābyi] literally translates to "Kirby") Anyway, I guess I could go either way with names. I just think that referring it as the ''Mother'' universe is actually more proper than the calling it the ''EarthBound'' universe as Itoi got the name from John Lennon's song and he stated that he wanted the games to have names that weren't game-like.

== Nomenclature from Mother 3 == | |||
*Option 1: Use transliterated versions of Japanese names, such as Yokuba. | |||
*Option 2: Use the professional (albeit unofficial) translated version, such as Fassad. | |||
*Option 3: Use both, such as Yokuba/Fassad. | |||
