Otherwise you get into the murky territory of ridiculous things like making Kyoryuzin the very silly "Dinosaur King" or Daibouken becomes "Great Adventurer". It just gets way out of hand and unnecessary.

Each to their own, I'd rather my translator actually...translates. I have no idea what a RyuuSeiOh is, or a Kiba, or a Tenma or a ShiShi or whatever else, but when I find out what the words actually mean I can associate meaning to them and appreciate them, otherwise they are just gibberish. I agree that names should be left as names, but there is a difference between William and lamp.

Also both Dinosaur King and Great Adventurer sound rockin', it's just that Dairanger has such goofy names for everything that it sounds so silly when put in plain English. Star Lords, lol.
