Add "Gladion_(Pokemon)" to the mix.

Correction, add "gladion_(pokemon)" an alias to "gladion_(pokémon)". Also include "sun_(pokemon)" and "moon_(pokemon)" to "sun_(pokémon)" and "moon_(pokémon)" respectively. "Sun" and "Moon" being the canon names of the male and female protagonists from the latest generation.

...Some jerk went and manually moved them all so I thought they were already aliased. I suggested a bunch in forum #210719.

Oops. I probably did the sun_(pokémon} ones. Didn't know any better.

You put another curly brace at the end of pokemon instead of a close parenthesis

Sorry if that was a bit strong, but it's impossible for your standard user to run search for that, so I was about to go and change them back when Ratte surprised me with a swift alias approval.
You're not a jerk for a simple little mistake, but do please be careful about changing tags to something users can't type.

I've said it to you before, I can't learn if it isn't pointed out when I goof all over. I wouldn't say it's impossible either. One just has to know how to use alt codes on the computer. For mobile users, I'm not sure if it works on all phones, but on mine, I just have to hold a letter key to get the accented forms of letters. For example, holding "e" lets me choose the "é" symbol. Anyways, I just say it was wrong and instinct compelled me to fix it. Either way, it's been fixed and we can move on.

Thanks for staying awesome, Furrin.

P.S. I made a typo. Mistakes happen and I'm willing to live with them. Laters!

You have to take us poor PC users into consideration when deciding to use a character that requires 5 key presses (hold Alt, press 0 2 3 3, release Alt) to type. Most of us don't know the codes.

True. A valid counterargument, except... ignorance is often a poor excuse. I didn't know the codes at first either. It wasn't until I began to take writing seriously that I figured out how to use special symbols. In the end, I memorized the most common codes and I still don't know all of them by heart. Anyways, I did find a few useful sources for figuring which code makes which symbol. My personal favorite is this one. It's simple and incomplete, but sufficient for most uses. Anyways, point is, I'm not saying anyone's right or wrong, I was just explaining my train of thought.

Remember that there are a lot of people out there who would rather put their mental faculties toward things like maintaining a successful career than remembering Alt codes. I've memorized several of them and know how to find all the ones I haven't memorized but most people aren't me. Many people can't use your method either.

Accessibility is important and the layman should always be taken into consideration.

Ouch. I already said, I'm far from right. I just don't always think before acting. It's ben fixed, so we can relax.

Don't worry, I'm not angry or anything. I'm just getting a point across.

(Just so we're clear, that image was me making fun of myself for saying something obvious. I do that sometimes.)
