OK, so I've been doing a few GP checks where the Pokemon's name ends in "s" and I really want to get this out there so that it's clarified for everybody. You are free to debate on how we will be doing this. This is not me saying "This is how we're doing it." Because I very well could be wrong.
When a Pokemon's name ends in "s", such as Ninetales, and you are giving it possession of something, you have to think about whether you're talking about every Ninetales out there, or this Ninetales in particular.
I was always taught that you only use just an apostrophe when it's plural possessive, as in multiple Ninetales'. If it's singular possessive, it ends in apostrophe + s, as in Ninetales's, or Metagross's for another example.
Here are a couple of examples from the analysis that was just uploaded:
So, how should we be approaching this? I just want there to be a standard clarified so I'm not so confused, along with everybody else.
Thanks for your time.
EDIT: This could probably be moved to 5th Gen too.

OK, as you can see there's some inconsistency. The first sentence suggests that we're talking about one Ninetales and that it has a good movepool, bulk, and Special Attack. But then later it turns to, this is every Ninetales' flagship set, instead of this is Ninetales's flagship set.This movepool, combined with Ninetales's decent bulk and Special Attack,
This is Ninetales' flagship set, which allows it to act
For which attack to use, Fire Blast is Ninetales's main STAB attack,
So, how should we be approaching this? I just want there to be a standard clarified so I'm not so confused, along with everybody else.
