I agree. It would be unproffesional for Smogon to be so nitpicky and accurate on detail, and then turn around and not include something as simple as the letter "e" on the end of a word.Who are we to say it looks stupid and unprofessional though? Surely "Feraligatr" looks stupid and it's a well known fact that it's only spelt like that as opposed to Feralligator because names are limited to 10 letters and Nintendo had to improvise but that doesn't give us the right to start spelling it however we please.
I don't even think there's an argument to be had here. If Nintendo spells it with an e, then so should we.
Like Syberia said, forms is still an acceptable term for it if we use it generically. Feraligatr is a proper noun.Who are we to say it looks stupid and unprofessional though?

I kinda prefer DPP to keep in line with the three letter theme (RBY , GSC, RSE); but maybe we should be consistent with other sites? I suppose it doesn't matter.#x looks right to me, too.
new topic:
DPP or DPPt?
Personally, I don't mind either, but we should at least keep it consistent. (fyi - Serebii has it listed on their site as DPPt.)
I believe if the Pokémon ends with "s" it's fine to use either; otherwise stick to "'s". At least, that's the way I've always done it.Regarding any Pokemon who ends with an 's': Do we use an apostrophe then another 's' or just an apostrophe? Or can we use either with stipulations? Ex: Latias's would be referring to the Latias that is in question while Latias' would be for all Latias.
